Not For Everyone – Buell XB9 Rat Bike

In America, Custom by Abhi1 Comment

The seller freely admits that this bike is not for everyone, but it sure is…interesting. Originally a Buell XB9, this has had some custom work to look something like a Mad Max bike with a twisted girder front end, cheese grater exhaust, and plenty of copper sheet metal. Buying it is one thing, but would you ride it?

One Owner – 1978 Harley-Davidson XLCR

In America, Cafe Racer by Abhi6 Comments

The XLCR is a Harley that I can’t help featuring, mainly because of how different it was from everything else they were building at the time. It was also one of the many bikes in history that was initially hailed as an instant collector bike…that no one bought. Designed by Willie G. Davidson, this bike was supposed to be a …

In America, Cruiser by Abhi1 Comment

Post-Sale Update: After 48 bids on eBay, this Sportster sold for $7,200. Here’s an impressively preserved example of a XLH Sportster from back in the AMF days of Harley-Davidson.

Harley-Davidson XR1200

In America, Sport by AbhiLeave a Comment

A slight departure from Harley’s normal bikes of the time, the XR1200 was almost instantly raced in Europe as soon as it was released to the public. Built as an homage to the flat-tracker XR750, this was a bike designed to handle the curves as well as the straightaways. For more on the XR1200, check out this review from webBikeWorld.

1953 Simplex Servi-Cycle

In America, Small Displacement by AbhiLeave a Comment

Originally founded in the late 20s with an initial investment of $25, Simplex Manufacturing Corporation was created by Paul Treen, a former dealer of Harley-Davidson who suggested that they start building a small bike for young riders, presumably to get them hooked on Harleys at a young age. Milwaukee said no, so Treen decided to do it himself. The Simplex …

1949 Harley-Davidson WL45

In America, Cruiser by AbhiLeave a Comment

With the current owner since 1952, this Harley-Davidson WL45 has a great patina thanks to extended storage in a barn, assuming you believe the ‘barn find’ story, especially considering it’s been with the same owner for so long. Still, the bike has recently had a complete tune-up including the installation of a new wiring harness and battery. It’s claimed to …

1976 Harley-Davidson FLH

In America, Cruiser by AbhiLeave a Comment

This numbers-matching Shovelhead was a daily rider for the last couple of years, during which it got up to about 68,000 miles on the odometer. But it’s just had an engine rebuild and is ready for a new owner. Extras include a S&S Super E carb and 10-spoke Hallcraft wheels. I vote you dump the handlebars for some stockers and …

2006 McLean Monocycle

In America by AbhiLeave a Comment

Post Listing Update: This McLean Monocycle got no interest at the BIN of $5,500. A couple of weeks ago, I shared a “Video Intermission” about the McLean Monocycle. I thought it’d be fun to share and frankly, I assumed I’d never actually be able to feature one for sale. I’m glad to say I’m wrong – here’s your chance to …
