The baby brother to the Bonneville, the TR6 was known again as the Tiger in 1970 (though it would get a controversial redesign the next year to Oil In Frame).

View PostEnding Soon – 1974 Norton Commando Hi-Rider
What’s that, you say? You thought the Commando needed mini-apes and a giant seat? Apparently, Norton agreed with you for some reason – the exact reason for why this bike came out isn’t documented, but most people agree that it was an odd attempt to try and capitalize on the “Easy Rider” movement that was taking over the States.
1969 BSA Thunderbolt A65
If you’re OK with a bike that’s not 100% correct (but has had some good upgrades for someone who would rather ride than display), here’s your chance at a decent deal on a BSA Thunderbolt.

View Post1965 Triumph T120C TT Special
Post-Listing Update: Despite 22 bids up to $12,500, this T120C TT Special did not meet reserve. Between 1963 and 1967 (and only in the United States), Triumph released a series of ready-to-race bikes (dubbed the TT Specials) to the public. Starting with a Bonneville, Triumph stripped away anything non-essential and gave it another 2 horsepower. These are special bikes, but …

This segment of Guess That Bike was for a British motorcycle…were you able to guess what it was? Several of you were, but user “foiled again” was first!
Needs Some Work – 1975 Tyran 125 MX
A short-lived enduro from the early 70s, the Tyran 125 MX were more 40% expensive the Japanese competition, but were slower and less reliable. As you might expect, not many people have heard of them since. The engine was a Sachs two-stroke 122cc unit that produced 18 horsepower to move a bike that weighed 190 pounds. For more on the …
Running Barn Find – 1937 Ariel RH Racer
You probably wouldn’t guess from the cosmetic state of this bike, but this Ariel Red Hunter racer recently got a new spark plug and some gas and it actually fired up. It’s obviously still going to need plenty of work, but this is a very cool find.

View PostEnding Soon – 1969 Norton Ranger P11A
One of the lesser-known models in the Norton line-up was the P11/Ranger. It all started by California distributor Bob Blair, who put an Atlas 750cc engine in a Matchless G85CS frame because desert racing was all the rage in the Southwest US. That evolved into the “Project 11”, which became the P11 when officially released by Norton in 1967. A …
Diesel Engine – 2005 Royal Enfield Bullet Diesel
9-20-2015 Update: A year later, this bike is up for sale with an unmet opening bid of $2,000here on eBay. I’ve been waiting a long time to find one of these – the closest I got was a military KLR650 that originally had a diesel but was since converted to gasoline. But finally, thanks to this Royal Enfield Bullet, I …
1971 Triumph Blazer T25SS
At first glance, I thought this bike was restored. Turns out it’s just in “exceptional” original condition – though the current seller did have it gone through mechanically. It’s in impressive shape, but is it worth over 6 grand?
1948 Vincent Rapide Series B
Post Listing Update: This Rapide did not meet reserve at $65,000. The seller then relisted the bike for $69,500, and it got no interest at that price. The baby brother to the legendary Black Shadow, the Vincent Rapide was sold from 1936-55 in 3 distinct ‘Series’. The middle run was the Series B, which ended in 1948.
