Congratulations to Machinarius, who was the first to identify that this was a Douglas. He/she actually got quite close, saying it might be a “4 hp 600 cc from 1920”.

It’s old, it’s British, and it’s beautiful. What bike is this brake light from?

For the second time in a row, Robert Horn earns congrats for being the first one to identify this Italian oddball as a Negrini. Specifically, it’s a Negrini 50 Sport that’s going to need a full restoration.

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”!
