Power-Dyne Vehicles – 1974 PDV Gringo 360
Power-Dyne Vehicles (also known as PDV) produced several motorcycles in the early 70s, nearly all of which were copies of something else on the market. The PDV Gringo was a knock-off of Yamaha motocross engines and Champion frames – the story is that PDV was put out of business because Champion sued for infringement.
2 Miles – 1976 Harley-Davidson SX250
When Yamaha introduced the instantly-successful DT-1, it quickly led to copies from the rest of the Japanese Big Four…and pretty much everyone else, also. Harley’s attempt with their new Italian parents was the SX175 and SX250. They weren’t nearly as successful, but it’s still interesting to find one almost 50 years later that’s only been rolled around for two miles.
1968 Harley-Davidson XLR

1910 Harley-Davidson Model 6A
In 1910, Harley-Davidson was still only making single-cylinder powered motorcycles. That year, they built 3,168 example – 334 of which were top-of-the-line as they were equipped with a magneto (a $40 option on a $210 bike).

$500 Pedal Power – 1993 Roadmaster Motocykes CR-2X

Built For Terry – 2009 Harley-Davidson XR1200 Vance & Hines
Between 2010 and 2014, the AMA and Vance & Hines came together to create a spec series of racing with Harley’s XR1200. V&H also offered a $3,500 kit for folks that wanted to turn their XR1200 street bikes into something resembling the racer – and this special example (which has just 250 miles) was originally built with that kit for …
