Thanks guys, a wealth of information! STD's and all! Thanks too Bill, it is a nice scooter, we call them that here too, it is an 07 Deuce, not quite a weapon but nice to behold none the less. As Harley have ceased production of this model now, it is now a instant classic :-P

Back to the important stuff;

It does carry a European blade of huge proportions and from the reference books I have it most likely appears to be due to length and shape, a horseman's sabre from between 1680-1720.

Over all this piece measures in at 47 inches, the blade is 37&1/4 X 1&3/4 inches across with a thick spine for 27inches of the blade and is very comfortable in the hand.

regards
