Post Sale Update: This Empulse sold for the BIN of $7,999 on eBay. Before Victory failed in their quest to compete with Harley-Davidson, they had the goal of beating HD to market with an electric motorcycle. They did in fact succeed, licensing some Brammo hardware and pushing them to market back when Scarlett Johansson was the only person who had …
Ending Soon – “GARMR .003” 2009 Harley-Davidson Reverse-Leaning Trike Custom
Post Listing Update: This Harley did not get any interest at the opening ask of $25,000. I’ve never been a big fan of custom trikes, but this one-off Harley isn’t your average three-wheeler. Built by Barghest Motive, this tricked out trike is built around an unspecified 1,200cc V-Twin from a 2009 Harley-Davidson. Dubbed the “GARMR .003”, the trike reportedly gets …
1937 Harley-Davidson UL Flathead
Post Listing Update: This got less action the second time around, with 21 bids up to $42,100 on eBay. 2-16-19 Update: Almost four years later, this UL is being sold again. It’s moved to Texas, and the new seller has better photos and more information. After the Ogar restoration, the bike was sold to Dale Walksler – the man behind …
Pikes Peak Winner – 2014 Zero SR
This upgraded Zero ran in the 2015 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb where — piloted by Jeff Clark #777 — it took first place in the production electric class (with a time of 12:06:346), granted there were only two other entries in the class that year. Either way you can actually watch Jeff tear up the mountain in the below …
50th Anniversary Project – 1954 Harley-Davidson KH
Post Listing Update: This KH did not meet reserve despite 41 bids up to $11,000 on eBay. In 1952, Harley announced the new Model K. Raised compression and bigger cams were good for 30 hp from 45 cubic inches. For their 50th anniversary in 1954, Harley introduced the redesigned KH model and continued their bigger is better mentality, bumping engine …
Period Trike Custom – 1952 Harley-Davidson Panhead
Post Sale Update: This Panhead sold for $10,453 after 43 bids on eBay. By combining half a Panhead frame and half a Servicar frame, the builder of this custom Harley-Davidson trike has created something infinitely cooler than the average three-wheeler. What does it for me is the inclusion of several period parts, such as the Bates headlight, AEE springer front …
2009 Kawasaki KLR650 M1030M1
Post Listing Update: This diesel KLR did not get any interest at the asking price of $14,000. It was later relisted at the same price with the same result. In 1997, the US Navy announced that it was consolidating the various types of fuel it provided for military vehicles. Diesel motorcycle research at Hayes Diesel Technology (HDT) was already underway, …
2013 Harley-Davidson Sportster Iron 883
The Art Director of Hot Bike (which, sadly, was recently killed off) is selling off his little Sporty, and it’s one of the better-modified examples I’ve ever seen.
1977 Penton/KTM MC5 250
KTM’s early success in the US was due to John Penton, which is why Penton’s name could be found on US-sold KTMs through 1977. Here’s one of the last bikes with John’s name on the tank, and it’s just gone through a restoration.
Little American Enduro – 1972 Indian ME100
Though utterance of the Indian Motorcycle name typically conjures up images of big-bore American-style V-Twin baggers and cruisers, the now Polaris-owned outfit for a time produced a decent number of small and micro-displacement dual-sports, mini and dirt bikes. Primarily produced in the late 60s and 70s, Indian’s range of off-road-oriented tiddlers included some very cool offerings such as the Boy …
2014 EBR 1190RX
Post Listing Update: This EBR did not get any interest at the opening bid of $7,100. I’m a fan of Erik Buell – the man refused to let his dreams die, and while his business may have failed, there are a few EBR 1190RX models left for us to remember his genius by. 185hp comes from an 1190cc v-twin and …
2019 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Special vs 2019 Indian Chieftain Dark Horse
View PostZero Miles – Street-Legal 1994 Harley Davidson VR1000
Originally slated to replace Harley’s XR platform, the VR was the MoCo’s attempt at dethroning Ducati in AMA racing. Supposedly race-tuned versions were making as much as 150 horses in the early ‘90s. However a series of events lead to the VR not being released until ’94, at which point it had grown noticeably long in the tooth and was …

Back in 2016, Indian Motorcycle joined forces with iconic American whiskey purveyor Jack Daniel’s to introduce limited edition versions of the Springfield and Chief Vintage. The collaborative effort instantly proved itself to be a hit, with all 150 units being snapped up in just eight-hours of the limited edition’s release.
First Year Harley Mini — 1973 Harley-Davidson X-90
Produced for only three-years, Harley-Davidson’s X-90 was one of the smallest machines to ever bear the bar and shield logo. Built by Harley’s Italian subsidiary, Aermacchi, the X-90 was powered by an air-cooled, 90cc, two-stroke single married to a four-speed gearbox. The successor to 1972’s “Shortster”, the ’73 X-90 featured full road-going lighting, and suspension and brakes fore and aft.
