Does the name Max Lambky ring a bell? If not, get yourself familiar with the Vincent Streamliner, an incredible Land Speed Record vehicle powered by two Vincent V-Twins. In addition to setting records at Bonneville, he also found some time to apparently build this Black Lightning replica.

View Post1965 Yamaha YDS3
The predecessor of the RD series, the Yamaha YDS3 was notable for many reasons. First and foremost, it was simply an excellent bike that could run rings on bikes with twice its displacement. In addition, it introduced Yamaha’s Autolube system, eliminating the need for mixing oil with gas in two-stroke bikes.
Rare Project – 1971 Rickman Interceptor
In the early 70s, an aspiring Floyd Clymer (who owned the name of Indian Motorcycles at the time) thought that the 736cc engine from the Mark II Royal Enfield Interceptor was an absolute jewel, and he ordered 200 to use in an hybrid sport-tourer to be created as Indians. Unfortunately, Clymer passed away after only approximately 15 were created, leaving …

2010 KTM Six Days 450 XC-W
This slick KTM has been converted with a removable rally setup and a whole bunch of choice modifications. The seller calls it the ‘ultimate do-it-all bike’, and it’s not hard to see why.

A 441cc engine ended up being the ticket, which helped BSA capture the 500cc championship in ’64 and ’65. The following year, the company released the BSA 441 Victor Special to the public.
1971 BSA B50MX
The BSA B50 was produced in 3 different variants – the SS (Street Scrambler), T (Victor Trail), and the MX (Motocross) that you see in front of you today.

1989 Kawasaki KD80X
A rare minibike, the Kawi KD80X that is normally hard to find in good shape nowadays because most were beat up as play bikes. The seller of this example has had two bikes – one went to the Moto Armory museum, and the other can now be yours.

Baby RD – 1974 Yamaha RD60
The RD60 was a tiny two-stroker that was built just between ’73-’75. It featured more gears in the transmission than horses out of the engine (5 vs. 4). Weird fact of the day – this bike didn’t have a green neutral light indicator.
In Germany – 1973 BMW Gus Kuhn Endurance Racer
