1999 Royal Enfield/Buell Custom

In America, Custom, England by AbhiLeave a Comment

Post Sale Update: This crazy custom sold for $3,050 after 15 bids. Yes, it’s another Robert “Doc” Harms build – I will never not feature one of these! This time around we’ve got a turbocharged Buell single in a Royal Enfield frame, and it’s probably my favorite of the offered builds so far.

Custom Airhead – 1979 BMW R65

In Custom, Germany by MattLeave a Comment

I’m really starting to enjoy these classic airhead builds. I knew that BMW was trying to change their demographic, but I never thought we’d see a day that people are customizing old airheads. My favorite part is that these builders are repurposing bikes that might not necessarily get a second chance at life. Case in point is this 1979 R65. …

Ford Flathead Custom Trike

In 3 Wheels, America, Custom by AbhiLeave a Comment

Post Listing Update: The opening bid was lowered to $3,600, but that still was not enough to get any interest on this oddball trike. Starting with the flathead engine and transmission from a 1952 Ford, this oddball trike runs – but are you brave enough to take advantage of that fact?

1965 Yamaha YDS3

In Japan, Standard by Tom WackerLeave a Comment

In the early 60’s Yamaha was widely considered to have the best mannered 2 stroke motors, but in 1964 they broke new ground with the YDS. A parallel twin two stroke with the first direct injection oil pump – and it worked!

1952 Indian Chief Roadmaster

In America, Cruiser by Tom WackerLeave a Comment

Post Listing Update: This Roadmaster did not meet reserve with bidding stalling at $22,200. It’s almost the end of the line. The original Indian Motorcycle Company built their last motorcycle in 1953 and all of those were built from parts left over from the ‘52s.

1975 Suzuki GT380

In Japan, Less than 5k, Standard by Tom WackerLeave a Comment

Introduced in 1972, the GT380 was one of several legendary two stroke Suzuki triples. As opposed to the Kawasaki triples of the day, the Suzuki models were well mannered and very road worthy. The GT380 (and the GT550) were air cooled with a “Ram Air” head that allowed increased cooling air flow. One other strange fact of the Suzuki GTs. …
