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 …
Trademark Issue – 1992 Carter Brothers Shortster
Post Listing Update: This Shortster did not meet reserve with bidding up to $242.50. For a very short production run (Harley-Davidson took an objection to the name), Carter Brothers sold a fairly quick mini bike that they called the Shortster. Harley objected because they had actually created a minibike called the Shortster themselves, though that lasted for just one year …
Troy Bayliss Replica – 2009 Ducati 1098R
Post-Listing Update – This Bayliss Replica was relisted several times at lower prices, but the lowest offering of $29,300 was still too much to get it sold. In 2002, Ducati released a Bayliss rep based on the 998S. 7 years later, they did the same (honoring his third and last World Superbike Championship) but with the 1098R, this time limiting …

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.
1 of 600 – 2002 Moto Guzzi V11 Scura
I know some of you don’t care for the gauges on the V11s, but hopefully the extra goodies of the limited-edition Scura (Italian for “dark”) will get you to see past that!

Ending 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 …

So, when the US Marine Corps was looking for a …
