A 2016 customized Harley-Davidson bike, recently blessed by Pope Francis, is set to be auctioned off at the Bonhams Autumn Stafford Sale on October 20th, 2019.
The heavily customised “Pope Bike”, also known as “White Unique”, was built by Jesus Bikers and Würzburg Village. The company delivered the bike to Pope Francis in St. Peter’s Square in July, 2019.
The 1570cc Twin Cam custom bike is finished in white pearlescent paint and gold-plated trim pieces. It also has a Chi-Rho symbol embossed into the leather seat and a golden cross above the headlight.

This bike is the newest in a line of vehicles donated to the Papacy that will be auctioned off to raise money for charity.
