Here’s a Harley WL (VIN: 45WL1559) with matching Goulding sidecar. It was restored 15 years ago and comes with a 3 speed (and reverse) transmission. Not everything is NOS, but it “runs and drives great.” The Goulding is a great piece that was originally designed in the 20s but is now available through Classic Sidcar. Find this combo for sale …

1 of 180 – 1990 BMW R100 Classic
Though BMW sold a similar bike called the R100R for a few years afterwards, the BMW R100 Classic is quite an oddball. Information is very scarce on this bike, as it seems just 180 were sold in the US and Japan in 1990/1991.
2002 Ducati MH900e
There are multiple motorcycles out there inspired by Mike Hailwood, but the Ducati MH900e Evoluzione might be the most visually extreme. Originally a sketch from the legenedary Pierre Terblanche, Ducati got plenty of positive feedback and decided to post a survey on their website to see if its passionate fans would actually buy a production version. 300 people said yes, …

2006 Triumph Bonneville Multi-Union
4 years after Triumph’s 100th anniversary, Paul Smith designed 9 different T100 Bonnevilles, each with a custom paint job. Triumph took two of the designs and sold 50 of each – one was called “Live Fast”, the other is what you see in front of you here, a Triumph Bonneville Multi-Union.
1976 MV Agusta 350S Ipotesi
The MV Agusta 350S Ipotesi is a classic Italian designed by legendary automotive stylist Giorgio Giugiaro. Nicknamed the Ipotesi (Hypothesis in Italian), it was Giugiaro’s attempt at styling a bike. It was quite advanced for the time – triple disc brakes, cast magnesium wheels, and a 10,000 rpm redline made this 350cc bike a treat to ride.
1972 Norton 750 Commando Combat
Post Sale Update: This Commando Combat sold for $9,601 on eBay after 35 bids. Norton Commando fans know that 1972 was a bad year for the motorcycle. The British firm introduced an upgraded engine, designated Combat. Unfortunately, the bearings would often self-destruct, rendering the engine useless. Thankfully, this specific Commando Combat (VIN: 201297) has had the engine rebuilt with Superblend …
1977 Custom Pro Street Chopper Project

This specific bike (VIN: NY12198) is a homebuilt bike sold by Custom John’s Choppers and Painting of Anaheim, California. Later on, the axle was replaced with a Jaguar unit. You’ll get all the paperwork and receipts, but this trike has not seen …
Reader Ride – 1973 Honda CL350 Flying Dragon
Post-Listing Update: Despite the outcome on the listing, I’m told this Honda CL350 Flying Dragon sold for $3,800 on eBay. A little known tidbit of Honda history is in ’72 and ’73, you could order an incredible set of alternate bodywork for CL350 or CL450 models – an idea that came from Honda’s paint department because they figured these crazy …
900SS Replica – 1976 Ducati 860GT
Post Sale Update: After being relisted, this 900SS Replica sold for $13,600 on eBay. Sold for just two years, the Ducati 860GT was a relatively angular bike that didn’t end up being as popular as Ducati might have hoped. But the styling doesn’t matter for this example, which the seller has converted into a replica of the iconic 900SS.
Wes Cooley Rep- 1979 Suzuki GS1000S
Post Listing Update: Bidding got up to $8,701 but this bike was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown. Suzuki shocked a lot of people with the GS series, particularly with their 997cc-engined entrance into the liter bike market. It was fast, it had great handling and brakes, and over time it’s proven itself to be one of the …
Reader Ride – 1983 Honda CB1100F
Post-Sale Update: After 27 bids on eBay, this CB1100F sold for $5,701 – an impressive figure. Built for just one year, the Honda CB1100F was a sleek looking standard that evolved from the 900F. In the process, it had tremendous performance – in January of ’83, Cycle World said it was the fastest stock bike they’ve ever tested.
