Post Sale Update: This crazy custom sold for $3,050 after 15 bids. Yes, it’s another Robert “Doc” Harms build – I will never not feature one of these! This time around we’ve got a turbocharged Buell single in a Royal Enfield frame, and it’s probably my favorite of the offered builds so far.

View PostFord Flathead Custom Trike
Post Listing Update: The opening bid was lowered to $3,600, but that still was not enough to get any interest on this oddball trike. Starting with the flathead engine and transmission from a 1952 Ford, this oddball trike runs – but are you brave enough to take advantage of that fact?

UPDATE: Here are my thoughts on the new Yamaha SCR950! Next month, Yamaha’s introducing another model to their “Sport Heritage” line. It’s called the SCR950 and in Yamaha’s words, it “combines vintage, scrambler style with modern design…that lets you venture on- and off-road for pure motorcycling fun.” At first glance it looks like Yamaha took the Bolt and slapped some …

Gravel Express – 1980 Honda GL1000 Goldwing
I didn’t really care for this bike when I saw it on BikeEXIF two months ago, but I do have a fascination with seeing what the asking prices are for custom builds that get some attention. This Goldwing was built by Roy Holtman – the man behind RH Motorcycles. It’s been given up a ground-up rebuild and turned into some …
1978 Yamaha SR500
Here’s a nice example of Yamaha’s classic SR500. It spent years in a collection and the seller bought it hopes that he could replicate a SR500 from his youth. After he cleaned it up, he decided it was too nice to modify, so now it’s your chance to pick up a well-preserved, original bike.
