The tank logo won’t help you on this one as it’s just a sticker. Still, are the body panels and remaining paintwork enough for you to identify this rare Italian project? If it helps (it probably doesn’t), I’ll add that this company was one of the many firms of the day that outsourced engine production…

Congratulations to Robert Horn, who was the first to identify the bike equipped with this Showa fork to be a Harley-Davidson XLCR. And in this case, it’s the newest bike up on the auction site – a 1977 XLCR with just 226 miles!

Here’s a Labor Day guessing game for you with a Japanese fork on a non-Japanese bike. Can you identify what bike this is?

Jeff Z sent over this interesting photo of a wine rack that used to be a motorcycle. Can you identify what bike was sacrificed to store bottles of expensive liquid?

Reader Tim C sent me an interesting photo of an American soldier in Germany – can you identify what bike he’s on?

My friend Somer Hooker recently crossed the Atlantic this year to check out Retromobile and The Peninsula Classics Best of the Best Award. He’s been having a grand time exploring the country of France, and he sent me a Guess That Bike feature that he thought would challenge all of you. Your only hint is that it was found in …

Well, this is what I get for taking a photo at a popular event. I thought the bike was rare enough to present a challenge (as only 21 examples were ever built), but Eric Epton quickly identified that this exhaust is from a Husqvarna that was featured at the recent Mecum auction in Las Vegas. It is indeed a 1932 …

This rare bike has a very distinctive exhaust. Can you identify the motorcycle?

Reader Beryl B reached out to me with a Guess That Bike conundrum that I did not know the answer to. Can you do better than I did?

Here’s a fun motor. Do you know what it belongs to? I’ll only leave this guessing game open for a day, because this bike is actually for sale right now…

As part of my current road trip, I had the pleasure of meeting a Bike-urious reader with an eclectic collection of beautiful motorcycles. For fun, I had him suggest the next Guess That Bike game from one of his bikes. So, what are we looking at? And no, you can’t say “Bultaco Metralla Mk2”!

I recently got an email from Jeff M, a reader in the Bay Area. I met up with him during my last trip to SF and we had a discussion about how no motorcycle manufacturer makes the exact bike he wants. Well, after some careful consideration it turns out there was actually one bike that checked all of his boxes, …

I try not to offer up “Guess That Bike” posts unless I already know what the answer to the question is, but I had to make an exception for this oddball movie prop. Reader Sharif M found this crazy contraption at the Melody Ranch film studio, and we’re wondering if you know what it started as and/or what movie it’s …

Here’s a question for you – what bike is this?
