This insane idea by Bonanza took a Hodaka Ace engine and threw into a mini chopper frame, presumably creating the world’s greatest wheelie machine for little riders.
2015 Indian Scout Customs
Shaun Ruddy of Chop Deville has built two customs based on the Indian Scout. Are they improvements or would you rather have the stock bike?
1981 Can-Am MX-6B
The Can-Am MX line was once an impressive series of motorcycles – in 1974 they swept the podium at the 250cc AMA National Championship. But over time they struggled to keep up with the Japanese, famously leading to the MX-3 “Black Widow” and eventually on to the MX-6 before things fell apart and Bombardier moved production to England. So it’s …
Parascooter – 1944 Cushman Model 53
Post-Sale Update: This Model 53 sold for $7,631. The Cushman Model 53 is probably as cool as a scooter gets. 4,734 of these bikes were produced to serve the US in World War II. These bare-bones scoots were intended to primarily be messenger bikes, helping to increase the mobility of troops and assist in communications. Their diminutive size was supposed …

View Post1917 Harley-Davidson Model J with Sidecar
This beautifully restored Harley sidecar is claimed to run and drive perfect, and it looks fantastic. The Model J introduced a lot of first for Harley. In 1915 it got what was advertised as the “most powerful motorcycle light system” available, a new electrical system that incorporated the headlight, taillight, horn, and ignition with a generator. 1917 was the first …

View Post1946 Cushman Package Kar
Amusingly called “the original Can Am Spyder” by the seller, the Cushman Package Kar has one wheel in the back and two wheels in the front. Most examples were sold with a storage box in between the front wheels, though you could order a box-less version if you wanted to customized it for a specific purpose.
1920 Briggs & Stratton Scooter
In 1919, Briggs & Stratton acquired the patent and manufacturing rights for the Smith Motor Wheel. What they learned from that engine led to development of the ubiquitous Briggs & Stratton motors seen in lawnmowers and all kinds of small equipment, but before that the company used the motor wheel to power vehicles like this (restored) scooter, which won the …
Restored – 1986 Can-Am ASE 250
Introduced in 1984, the ASE (Aircooled Single Shock Enduro) was the imaginatively-named results of an agreement between Can-Am and Armstrong/CCM for the latter to build Can-Am’s in England. It did not sell well.
V-Twin Jet – 2003 Harley-Davidson VROD Custom
Here’s the perfect bike for when you need an extra dose of patriotism…a Harley VROD that’s been given fiberglass bodywork and custom paint to make it look like a jet.
1957 Harley-Davidson KR750
The successor to the WR and the last of Harley’s side-valve racers, the KR750 was built between ’52 and ’68. A race bike that you could buy straight from the dealer and then tweak to your needs, the KR might have been relatively low-tech even for the time, but it won the AMA Grand National Championship series 12 out of …
