Were you a big fan of Sons of Anarchy? Well, here’s your chance to acquire John Teller’s motorcycle, which was present for six season of the show. Besides, how often do you get to buy a motorcycle that has a die-cast toy replica?
Restored – 1948 Indian Chief
As 1948 rolled around, the Chief was the only model Indian offered. Later that year the Arrow would come around, but that’s a story for another day. Here’s an example that’s been restored to her former glory and recently won a recent People’s Choice Award, to boot.
Ending Soon – 1978 Harley-Davidson MX-250
In Harley’s long history, they’ve only offered one motocross bike – the MX-250 built by Aermacchi. This example has been modified to widen the powerband of the engine, and it’s one of the few examples I’ve seen that’s ready to get dirty or even compete.
Electric Cafe – 2012 Zero XU Custom
Post-Sale Update: This custom electric sold for $1,975 after 15 bids on eBay. Introduced in 2011, Zero’s XU model utilized a dirt bike frame but it was designed for street riding. One year later the bike gained belt drive, a new AC motor, and 50% more battery capacity. Two years later the bike was discontinued, making room for more new …
25th Anniversary – 2008 Buell Ulysses XB12XT
A couple of years after the XB12X was released, Buell introduced the XB12XT in 2008, during the 25th Anniversary of the marque. The X was a big dual-sport, but the XT is an ‘adventure-tourer’ with a lower seat, hard luggage, taller windscreen, heated grips, and more.
Silence is Golden – Bike Review of the 2016 Zero FXS
View PostThe Mud Dauber – 1999 HD Sportster 1200 Custom
Post-Listing Update: Despite 46 bids on eBay, the Mud Dauber did not meet reserve with bidding up to $11,600. Built to “ride like a supermoto or dirt bike”, the Mud Dauber is a Sportster scrambler custom that took a year to build. For what it’s worth, dauber is defined as “a crude or inartistic painter.”
1905 Indian Camelback
Post-Listing Update: This Camelback did not meet reserve with bidding up to $55,100. Named for the ‘hump’ on the back, which is the fuel tank for the 2.25 horsepower single, the Indian Camelback was produced in various guises until 1909, when a ‘normal’ gas tank was used.
Mild ISDT Custom – 1973 Hodaka Combat Wombat
Post-Sale Update: This Combat Wombat sold for $1,201 after 35 bids on eBay. The only thing cooler than a Combat Wombat is a Combat Wombat that’s been given a mild ISDT treatment. The seller (a Bike-urious regular) has owned it for 5 years and only used it for slow trail rides. However, the gas was drained in October 2015 and …
1966 Harley-Davidson Sportster XLCH
The XLCH is one of the jewels of the Sportster model line. The CH is affectionately referred to as “Competition Hot” by some and it had a few changes from the XLH, notably a different tank and seat, as well as the removal of electric start and the battery. Both models were introduced in 1958 – the CH was a …
Never Ridden – 2003 Cannondale E440
In the late 90s, Cannondale (you probably know them as a bicycle company) attempted to break into the powersports market with an ATV and a dirt bike. The $80 million experiment was a failure, and Cannondale had to declare bankruptcy in 2003 so they could re-focus on bicycles. By the end of the run, the dirt bike was available in …
2004 CCM Rotax 600 Flat Tracker
Post-Sale Update: This Rotax flat tracker sold for $3,960 after 27 bids on eBay. A few of you mentioned that you enjoy seeing some well-built flat trackers last week, so I’m happy to oblige with yet another Rotax-powered example from the estate of David Molitor.
H Garage Build – 1982 Honda FT500 Custom
Post-Listing Update: This Ascot custom did not get any action at the BIN of $14,500. I recently featured a Ascot custom, and frankly I thought I wouldn’t see another one for at least several months. This one’s going to the Handbuilt Show – what do you think of it?
1 of 50 – 2007 Buell XBRR
A factory-built, $30,995 racebike, the Buell XBRR was Erik Buell’s effort at taking care of privateer racers, and it was specifically designed to compete in the AMA Formula Xtreme class. This might surprise you as FX was normally for modified 600cc bikes, and the XBRR uses a 1339cc Thunderstorm V-Twin. But considering it was the first year of competition with …
1964 Mustang Trail Machine
Sold for nearly 20 years, the Mustang was developed and built in Glendale, California by Gladden Products Corporation. It started as a homebrew bike built for an employee of Gladden to commute to work during World War II – management liked it so much that they commercialized it! Most Mustangs were small, cruiser-looking minibikes but the company offered some variations …
