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 …
Half Harley, Half Vincent – 1992 Sportster Custom
Under the name of Classified Motorcycle Company (and before Classified Moto got big), Dan Wilson built 27 kits for Harley Sportsters to turn them into a quasi-Vincent look alike.
Super Hooligan Racer – 2025 Harley-Davidson Pan America
Built to compete in this year’s Super Hooligan National Championship, this Harley-Davidson Pan America was part of the winning efforts by James “Hogspoli” Rispoli with the Kyle Wyman Racing (KWR) Team. KWR is selling two bikes from their fleet, both of which are identically modified with a MotoAmerica-spec engine/airbox and are ready to race, if you are so inclined.
Needs An Engine – 1969 Streamliner
Built by Bob Braverman (Editor for Cycle Guide, pioneer of slot car racing, and all-around motorcycling legend), this Streamliner was created for a magazine project (presumably for Cycle Guide as he didn’t start Cycle Rider until 1973). I don’t know what you’d do with this nowadays but it’s cool and I hope someone finds a good use for it!
1962 Tote Gote Model B
The Tote Gote was developed by Ralph Bonham, who built it to make his life easier while on hunting trips in Utah. Production ran from 1958-1970 and over that run a wide variety of models were created but the core concept was the same: Briggs & Stratton engine in a rugged steel frame for people that wanted some cheap utility …
Endurance Racer Mule – 2001 Victory V92SC Sport Cruiser
According to the seller, this bike was built by “Victory Engineering as a test mule which was also used in two 5 hour endurance races in Brainerd, Minnesota.” I was quite surprised to hear this and called a friend who worked for Polaris (Victory’s parent company) at the time – he confirmed that this is legit and that the seller …
1942 Harley-Davidson WLA
This year marks 80 years since the end of the Second World War. Here’s one of the machines that contributed to the Allies’ success: a Harley-Davidson WLA. It’s a pretty famous machine, enough that non-motorcyclists tend to know about it and claim that their granddad or great-uncle or whoever used to have one, and foolishly sold it without understanding the …
1958 Harley-Davidson FL Duo-Glide
Not long after its biggest domestic competitor had gone belly up, Harley-Davidson was feeling many of the same financial pressures that had driven Indian to bankruptcy. Cheaper foreign imports, largely from Britain (the Japanese wouldn’t really hit the scene until the ’60s), were making things difficult. To its credit, Harley decided the answer to its problems was innovation. Among popular …
1947 Indian Chief
The Indian Chief doesn’t need much introduction. It’s one of the all-time icons of motorcycling. The model was first introduced in 1921, amid one of Indian’s many rough patches. With sales down 30 percent, the brand decided that luxury was the path to success. On Labor Day (kind of late in the season to be rolling out a new model, …
1971 Moto-Ski Moto-Skeeter 450
Founded in 1964, Moto-Ski was a Canadian snowmobile manufacturer that was acquired by Bombardier in 1971. In ’76, Bombardier moved production to a different facility, but before that happened, they dabbled in mini bike production with a bike called the Moto-Ski Moto-Skeeter.
Harley-Davidson Kit Bike – 1974 Magnacycle
5-22-2025 Update: Eight years later, this Magnacycle is back up for sale – and with a much lower asking price! Also, please note that it’s now being called a 1978 model. Find it (still in Carlisle, Pennsylvania) for $8,500 here on Facebook Marketplace.
80 Year-Old Racer – 1946 Harley-Davidson WR
The WR is an interesting bike in Harley’s storied history. Designed specifically for Class C competition, it featured a 738cc V-twin with several upgrades. Sold as a stripper-spec racing machine, it did not have lights or brakes, and was sold to assist privateer efforts to avoid putting money into a factory team. It was incredibly successful – by 1948, it …
2016 Victory Cross Country Tour
One might argue that Victory Motorcycles only ever had one good idea. Actually, no, that’s not true. It had a lot of good ideas, but most were either abandoned or – toward the end – gifted to Indian. The Cross Country offered a revvy engine, ridiculous levels of comfort, and a chassis that’s about as nimble as is possible for …
2012 Travertson V-REX 2
“Once rolling, the V-REX’s straight-line behavior is about what you’d expect from a 9-foot long, fat-tired cruiser…“
1944 Harley-Davidson E Model
There are a few questions to be asked about this particular bike, and considering its price tag I reckon they’re worth asking.
