Post-Listing Update: This interesting contraption did not get any love at the $25k BIN offer. A motorcycle with a boxer six cylinder engine should make you think of the new Goldwing. But here’s a bike that’s been built around the engine from a ’69 Chevrolet Corvair.

1979 Harley-Davidson XLCR Custom
I’ve featured plenty of XLCR’s in the past, as I find them to be such an interesting departure from what one would normally expect from Harley. Here’s one that’s been customized with an aluminum tank, aftermarket shocks, and more. The bike (VIN: (VIN: 3A21911H9)has a bit over 10,000 miles and unfortunately the listing does not come with much information. Do …
1966 Wards Riverside 450SS
Post-Sale Update: After 13 bids on eBay, this Fireball sold for $1,700. Despite the name, this bike (a rebadged Benelli Fireball sold out of Montgomery Wards stores) has a 49cc engine. Maybe the name translates to “4” – number of gears in the transmission and “50” – displacement?
1991 Harley-Davidson FXDB Sturgis
In 1991, Harley released a customized FXDB to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Sturgis rally. One year later, they did the same to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the rally in Daytona. 1600 and 1700 of the limited models were released, respectively – here’s #350 of the former.

2001 Harley-Davidson FXDP Dyna Defender
When people think of Harley police bikes, the Dyna platform doesn’t usually spring to mind. Yet between 2001-2004, Harley sold a police-issue Dyna (called the FXDP Dyna Defender) that did not get much love, making it a cool and rare find now.
In England – 1925 Ner-a-Car Model C
Designed by Carl Neracher in 1918, the Ner-A-Car was sold as a cheap automobile alternative. Approximately 10,000 were build at sold in the US, and another 6,500 were built and sold in England under license. Here’s one of the latter.
2000 Confederate Confederado
Confederate Motorcycles are turning heads nowadays with some crazy style and hefty power. 15 years ago, they had the power down, but the styling was still a bit too close to what Harley was putting out at the time.
1 of 3 – The Enterprise
Post-Sale Update: This Enterprise sold for $25,000…to a Bike-urious reader in France! It’s going to take a while but I’ll try to get more details about the story when possible. Obviously, this is going to need a full restoration, but what a piece of motorcycling history! The Enterprise was the vision of Orley Raymond Courtney, an incredible designer who sadly …
$150K – 1917 Henderson Four Factory Racer
Looks like Heroes Motorcycles has performed a full restoration on what’s claimed to have been a factory racer Henderson Four. Not much information is given, but it’s powered by a 1,100 cc (67 cubic inch) engine. Wish there was more documentation of the restoration given, but I’m pretty much featuring this for the shock value of the sticker price.
1971 Rupp Roadster 2
Post-Listing Update: Despite 14 bids on eBay, this Rupp Roadster did not meet reserve at $1,536. In 1971, Rupp Manufacturing was flying high. The year prior, owner Mickey Rupp was honored as one of the “Outstanding Young Men of America”, and they had become more than a snowmobile manufacturer – they were also cranking out ATVs, go-karts, and mini-bikes. The …
