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
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
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 …
2001 Indian Scout Centennial Edition
In 2001, Indian (at the time, this was the version of the company that was based out of Gilroy, California) built a limited run of Chiefs and Scouts (2001 each) to celebrate the company’s centennial. Enter the Indian Scout Centennial Edition, which was available in either French Vanilla or Black.
1976 Harley-Davidson FLH
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
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 …
1929 Indian 101 Scout
Considered by some to be the best Indian ever made, the Indian 101 Scout was introduced in 1928 as an upgrade of the Scout that was initially introduced in 1920.
“His and Hers” – 2011 Custom Chopper and Trike
The chopper you see here was built for the June 2012 centerfold of Easyriders magazine. The builder (Capone’s Street Rod Motorcycles) then brought the bike to Daytona, where it was sold to someone who had a matching trike built for his girlfriend to ride. The seller claims that $50K was put into both bikes, now you can pick up the …
1948 Harley-Davidson FL Panhead
Here’s a beautiful FL Panhead that has had an old repaint with a lot of rebuilt parts – engine, transmission, brakes, wheels, petcock, rockers, and front suspension. For me it’s the best of both worlds new on the inside (600 miles on the engine break-in) but well-worn on the outside. Find this Panhead for sale in Hudson, Wisconsin with bidding …
1977 Harley-Davidson FXE Confederate Edition
Post-Sale Update: This Harley-Davidson FXE Confederate Edition sold for $8,700. In 1976, Harley released a limited run of bikes called the Liberty Edition to commemorate America’s bicentennial. The next year, they released the Confederate Edition…which celebrated something else? Just 631 units were built across the Harley range – most were Sportsters or Super Glides like this one, but 6 different …
CHP – 1938 Harley-Davidson Patrol Bike
I adore police bikes, and this classic Harley is a beautiful example of an ex-California Highway Patrol motorcycle. Too bad the pictures are all so tiny.
Harley-Suzuki Hybrid
Should I call it a Harzuki?
1972 Yankee Z500
Post Sale Update: This Z500 sold for $4,465 after 10 bids on eBay. In the early 70s, John Taylor of Schenectady, New York started building the Yankee Z500, an American dual-sport designed to compete with the best bikes coming out of Europe. Yankee Motor Company started by importing machines from OSSA, the Spanish off-road powerhouse, and then moved to modifying …
1946 Indian Chief Roadmaster
The Indian Chief had three model lines – the Clubman, the Sportsman, and the top of the line Roadmaster. The Roadmaster (which Polaris has brought back) was the full touring option, which came with extra chrome, a Sport windshield, twin spotlights, saddlebags, and Indian’s “Chum-Me” seat which allowed you to bring “your best friend along, too.”
Highly Original – 1940 Harley-Davidson EL Knucklehead
Here’s an unrestored EL Knuckle that’s in impressive original condition. The paint on the front fender, tank, frame, and forks are original. The rear fender was repainted to match. There are some minor issues but nothing unexpected – the front crash bar and wheel hubs are from a different year, and the muffler is a repro. When the seller originally …
