When it was founded in 1993, Bourget’s Bike Works was an serious innovator in the world of choppers thanks to Roger Bourget, who founded the company with his wife. In 2005, the couple split, and in 2009, Roger opened up a new shop with his new wife. Here’s one of the bikes created during the heyday of Bourget’s Bike Works.
Barn Find – 1912 Indian Twin
Unlike most ‘barn finds’ out there, this Indian was brought back to life – it starts and runs and it’s now ready for you to decide if you want to give it a full restoration or keep the patina and get it back on the road.
1946 Harley-Davidson UL Custom
View PostCorvair Powered – 1975 Custom
Post-Listing Update: This interesting contraption did not get any love at the $25k BIN offer. A motorcycle with a boxer six cylinder engine should make you think of the new Goldwing. But here’s a bike that’s been built around the engine from a ’69 Chevrolet Corvair.
1991 Harley-Davidson FXDB Sturgis
In 1991, Harley released a customized FXDB to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Sturgis rally. One year later, they did the same to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the rally in Daytona. 1600 and 1700 of the limited models were released, respectively – here’s #350 of the former.
Liberty Edition – 1986 Harley-Davidson XLH Sportster
Post Sale Update: This Liberty Edition Sportster sold for $2,524 after 47 bids on eBay. In 1986, Harley released a limited run of bikes across the Electra Glide, Low Rider, and 1100cc Sportster models.

2001 Harley-Davidson FXDP Dyna Defender
When people think of Harley police bikes, the Dyna platform doesn’t usually spring to mind. Yet between 2001-2004, Harley sold a police-issue Dyna (called the FXDP Dyna Defender) that did not get much love, making it a cool and rare find now.
2000 Confederate Confederado
Confederate Motorcycles are turning heads nowadays with some crazy style and hefty power. 15 years ago, they had the power down, but the styling was still a bit too close to what Harley was putting out at the time.
1 of 3 – The Enterprise
Post-Sale Update: This Enterprise sold for $25,000…to a Bike-urious reader in France! It’s going to take a while but I’ll try to get more details about the story when possible. Obviously, this is going to need a full restoration, but what a piece of motorcycling history! The Enterprise was the vision of Orley Raymond Courtney, an incredible designer who sadly …

View Post1936 Harley-Davidson RLD
Produced between ’32 and ’36, the RL series of Harley-Davidsons were released in the middle of the Great Depression. Here’s one that looks absolutely fantastic (assuming that you’re like and me and that you love patina).
1998 Moto Guzzi V10 Centauro
One of the more distinctively-styled motorcycles ever built, the V10 Centauro was a limited edition (just 1,918 were sold, 300 of which made it to the US) that was designed to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Moto Guzzi factory.
Double Trouble – 1942 Harley-Davidson WLA
View Post90 Miles – 1973 Harley-Davidson Sportster
A few days ago, I featured a modern Sportster with a retro paint job that I really enjoyed:
Cheap Rare Tourer – 1983 Honda CB1000C Custom
Produced for just one year, the Honda CB1000C Custom was notable for the TRAC anti-dive system and dual-range transmission (a sub-transmission that let you choose high or low for any given gear, even if people only really used it to act as a sixth gear/overdrive).
