Built by BERHAM Customs out of Berlin, Germany, this Speed Twin has been bobbed on the original frame and I think it looks pretty damn good. What do you think?
2001 Triumph Sprint ST
Triumph got a lot of mileage out of their iconic 955cc triple, which at the turn of the century was powering the Speed Triple, Daytona, and the Sprint sport-tourer. It’s an oft-overlooked bike, which means you can get yourself a nice example for a decent deal.
Easy Two – 1952 Norton ES2
Post-Sale Update: This ES2 sold for $8,688.81 after 32 bids on eBay. The ES2 was introduced in 1927 and was originally sold as a sports bike, though by the time production stopped in 1964, it wasn’t particularly competitive in the world of fast motorcycles. Still, an almost 40 year long production run is damned impressive, and this is a lovely …
1 of 21 – 1968 Greeves Oulton Racer
Chas Mortimer is the only rider to have won races in the FIM World Championship classes of 125, 250, 350, 500, and 750. He was also the original owner of this Greeves Oulton race bike, of which just 21 were ever built.
In England – 1927 Brough Superior 680
In 1927, George Brough though he needed to offer a motorcycle at a lower price point, so he started selling the 680, which was named after the 680cc JAP overhead valve V-Twin engine. Nowadays these bikes still command less than the SS80 or SS100, but that doesn’t mean you’ll be able to find one for cheap – this example is …
Restored Combat – 1972 Norton Commando Roadster
Post-Sale Update: This Combat Commando sold for $12,590 after 42 bids on eBay. In 1972, Norton offered an optional high spec engine initially just for the Roadster and Interstate – they called it the “Combat.” The British firm advertised an extra 5 horsepower from the Combat engine (and it was paired with a disc brake up front) but there were …
Rolling Business Card – 1964 Norton Racer
Post-Sale Update: This Norton racer was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown. This Norton was built as a ‘rolling business card’ for Cook’s Norton Service and it competed in BEARS, AHRMA’s series for “The British European American Racing Series for certain two-cylinder machines built up through 1968 and competing under Formula 750 specifications.” Because of the Cook connection, …
Original Owner – 1975 Triumph Rickman CR
The Rickman brothers are best known for their Metisse frames, but in the 70s they also made a series of Competition Replica (CR) machines for the street and track. The owner of this example bought it new in 1975, raced it for a season, and then put it in his parent’s garage, where it has since sat. Now it’s ready …
Street Legal – 1965 Rickman Triumph Metisse
Post-Listing Update: This Metisee got no action at the BIN of $8,900. Just like a dog with no discernible breed, this bike was a ‘mongrel’ of sorts – so they used the french translation (Metisse) to name it. This example is going to need a little bit of work, as it’s been on display for a few years, but a.) …
2005 Triumph Thruxton Cup Racer
In 2005, Triumph partnered with AHRMA to create a spec-series for the Thruxton. Unfortunately, the website for this cup doesn’t seem to work anymore, but the cup is still active – and there will be racing in California later this month.
Project Scooter – 1960 Triumph Tigress
Also sold as the BSA Sunbeam, the Triumph Tigress was a scooter available in 175cc two-stroke and 250cc four-stroke variants, producing 7.5 and 10 horsepower respectively. They were introduced in 1959, and production of the 250 ceased in 1964.
2015 Norton Commando 961 Sport
The ‘base model’ (quite a relative term in this case) of the Norton Commando 961, the Sport lacks some of the extras seen on the SF or Cafe Racer like a carbon chainguard, upside down forks, and remote Brembo master cylinders. I think you’ll get over it though, thanks to the beautiful styling, 80 horsepower 961cc engine, and the knowledge …
Never Ridden – 1972 AJS Stormer 410
Post Listing Update: This Stormer did not get any interest at the BIN of $10,000. The pictures in this listing are shit, but this does provide the rare opportunity for you to get an unridden 44 year old British off-roader…if you’re into that.
Ending Soon – 1951 Vincent Black Shadow
Post-Listing Update: Despite bidding up to $65,100, this Black Shadow did not meet reserve. The seller of this Black Shadow has owned it since 1967, and he believes that it’s now “time to let someone else appreciate it.”
Desert Sled MX – 1966 Triumph Custom
Post Listing Update: This custom Triumph did not meet reserve with 14 bids up to $6,450. The builder of this bike wanted to create a ‘custom desert racer that held true to its roots and didn’t appear very custom at all.’ How do you think he did?
