In 2011, Erik and his company, Erik Buell Racing (EBR), decided to get back in the sportbike game with a bang – the EBR 1190RS. The RS featured a powerplant that produced 175 horsepower just shy of 10,000 rpm, and it weighed less than 400 pounds wet. This is one of the extra rare Carbon Edition models.
In Canada – 2011 Confederate P120 Fighter
It’s a love-it-or-hate-it kind of motorcycle (I love it, at least the looks), but you can’t deny that the Confederate Fighter is distinctive. This example is slicker than your average as the seller has put a lot of thought and money into handling some of the more ‘boring’ aspects like the cooling and electrical systems.
1939 Harley-Davidson Big Twin Sidecar
The seller calls this a U/ULH because the motor is from a U but it has ULH barrels that were bored .20 over. Either way, he’s had the three wheeled rig since 1969 and it’s claimed to run and handle perfectly after a ‘complete refurbishment’ 5 years ago. Hope you like red!

View PostIn Italy – 1939 Taurus G27
I really struggled to find more information on this bike, and I’ll be really impressed if one of you guys or gals knows more about the Taurus marque. At this point, all I’ve got is that it’s Italian and that a few years back, someone tried to update the marque to modern times with a custom based on a Royal …
In Germany – 1953 Triumph Speed Twin 5T Custom
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?
1987 Suzuki GSX-R 1100
Here’s a nice example of one of the classic 80s sportbikes – Suzuki’s biggest Gixxer. It’s recently been gone through by a seller who’s owned over 10 examples of the model and he says this is the best he’s seen.
Dakar Competitors – 2013 and 2014 KTM 450 RRs
Team Rally Pan Am is “America’s premier motorcycle rally team,” and they’ve been competing for years all over the world. Last year their two riders (Ian Blythe and Scott Bright) placed 26th and 52nd in the Dakar Rally respectively, including a top 10 stage finish by Blythe – 8th place in stage 11. Now both those bikes are up for …
Sidecar Racer in Belgium – 1947 Moto Guzzi Dondolino
Built for privateers, the Dondolino (weirdly, this is Italian for ‘rocking chair’) featured a 498cc OHV single that produced 33 horsepower, good for a top speed of 110 miles per hour. Dry weight was a paltry 282 pounds. The Dondolino was actually introduced the previous year, and it immediately won the Swiss Grand Prix and Spanish Grand Prix, as well …
Restored – 1948 Indian Chief
As 1948 rolled around, the Chief was the only model Indian offered. Later that year the Arrow would come around, but that’s a story for another day. Here’s an example that’s been restored to her former glory and recently won a recent People’s Choice Award, to boot.
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.
