Yesterday’s Last Edition got a tremendous amount of attention, so I figured I’d share another one with you (this one’s cheaper but has a lot more miles), courtesy of reader Jim R. This unit has 74,805 miles on the odometer, but has several upgrades like new crash bars, a Brown side stand, 450W charging system, Hella driving lights, panniers, San …
Video Intermission – Sit Stay Ride
A few months ago, I posted about Dogs Ride, a book that explained the best ways to get your dog to join you while riding your motorcycle. Though I don’t own a dog (yet), I’m still highly amused by the concept, so I was very happy to see Sit Stay Ride, a documentary about sidecar-riding dogs and their owners.
Heavily Modified – 2007 BMW F800S
The BMW F800S was a very brief member of the BMW Motorrad lineup in the United States. Only sold from 2006-2007, the F800S had a short run (though the ST continues on today as the F800GT). An upright parallel-twin developed by Rotax provided around 85 horsepower and earlier than expected torque, but the 360-degree firing order of the cylinders made …

1949 Harley-Davidson WL45
With the current owner since 1952, this Harley-Davidson WL45 has a great patina thanks to extended storage in a barn, assuming you believe the ‘barn find’ story, especially considering it’s been with the same owner for so long. Still, the bike has recently had a complete tune-up including the installation of a new wiring harness and battery. It’s claimed to …
Video Intermission – Giant Pothole
You can probably guess how this goes…
5,440 Miles – 1984 BMW R100CS Last Edition
Post Listing Update: This CS was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown. Here’s a bike that pissed off a few BMW enthusiasts back in day – the BMW R100CS Last Edition. You should probably be asking why it pissed riders off. It wasn’t the bike itself, it’s how BMW decided to market it.
2001 Indian Scout Centennial Edition
In 2001, Indian (at the time, this was the version of the company that was based out of Gilroy, California) built a limited run of Chiefs and Scouts (2001 each) to celebrate the company’s centennial. Enter the Indian Scout Centennial Edition, which was available in either French Vanilla or Black.
Buy a Ural, Get a Royal Enfield Free
Well here’s a deal you don’t see very often. Raceway Ural/Royal Enfield of Salem, Oregon has a 2013 Royal Enfield C5 in Desert Storm that has been taking up floor space for over a year (or probably more) and they’re looking to get rid of it. Their oddball idea? Buy a brand new Ural Gear-Up in the sweet white Urban …
1976 Harley-Davidson FLH
This numbers-matching Shovelhead was a daily rider for the last couple of years, during which it got up to about 68,000 miles on the odometer. But it’s just had an engine rebuild and is ready for a new owner. Extras include a S&S Super E carb and 10-spoke Hallcraft wheels. I vote you dump the handlebars for some stockers and …
2000 Derbi GPR50
Post-Sale Update: This GPR50 sold for $1,599. Derbi is a small Spanish company that started as a little bicycle shop near Barcelona, Spain. In fact, the name Derbi itself refers to the company’s beginnings, as it’s an acroynm (in Spanish) for “Derivatives of Bicycles). Derbi ended up being the only major Spanish manufacturer to survive the country’s transition to democracy, …
2006 McLean Monocycle
Post Listing Update: This McLean Monocycle got no interest at the BIN of $5,500. A couple of weeks ago, I shared a “Video Intermission” about the McLean Monocycle. I thought it’d be fun to share and frankly, I assumed I’d never actually be able to feature one for sale. I’m glad to say I’m wrong – here’s your chance to …
1929 Indian 101 Scout
Considered by some to be the best Indian ever made, the Indian 101 Scout was introduced in 1928 as an upgrade of the Scout that was initially introduced in 1920.
“His and Hers” – 2011 Custom Chopper and Trike
The chopper you see here was built for the June 2012 centerfold of Easyriders magazine. The builder (Capone’s Street Rod Motorcycles) then brought the bike to Daytona, where it was sold to someone who had a matching trike built for his girlfriend to ride. The seller claims that $50K was put into both bikes, now you can pick up the …
