ATLANTA – Manheim Specialty Auctions teamed up with Bruce Rossmeyer, the world’s largest Harley-Davidson dealer, Harley Davidson Financial Services, and HSBC to host a motorcycle auction during Daytona Bike Week held earlier this month, selling 97 percent of offered vehicles.

The sale featured 265 bikes, of which 257 were sold, at Bruce Rossmeyer’s Destination Daytona complex near Daytona Beach, Fla.

Bruce Rossmeyer, the owner of Destination Daytona and Bruce Rossmeyer’s Daytona Harley-Davidson, employed Manheim Daytona Beach’s services for the second year for an exclusive, on-site sale.
