Post Listing Update: This DDB did not meet reserve with 40 bids up to $36,322. Based on that price point, the seller has relisted the bike with an opening ask of…$99,500. So if you didn’t want it at less than $40k and instead wanted to spend over twice as much, you can now find it here on eBay. After a …

Servicustom – 1967 Harley-Davidson Servicar
With the rise of the automobile, motorcycle companies were forced to respond in the way of producing utilitarian scoot-based machines with the most common example being the Harley-Davidson Servicar. These machines were manufactured from 1932 to 1975 and saw dozens of changes and updates in its 43 years of production with some models having a car-like rear differential. While this …
Three Wheeler – 1984 Honda ATC 200S
Honda brought the 3-wheeler to the US thanks to an engineer named Osamu Takeuchi. Osamu was simply trying to create a product that could bolster motorcycle sales during winter months, but by the time it was all over he had created something so prone to causing injury that the US Justice Department banned them entirely. The model line started with …

Anheuser-Busch Promotion – 2000 Yamaha V-Star 650 Sidecar
Riders are all excited about Yamaha’s announcement this morning of the new Star Venture, but I suspect that’s because they forgot the majesty of this sidecar that was built for an Anheuser-Busch non-alcoholic energy drink called 180 Degrees. It was their attempt to take on Red Bull, and I think you know how it ended. Per the seller, Motorvation built …
1966 BMW-Powered Sidecar Racer
Built by Herr Helmut Lünemann in the winter of ’65, this rare BMW sidecar racer was used in international GP’s including Germany in ’66-’68. Since then this two-man racer has gone through a few different owners before ending up with its current seller who would go on to do extensive restoration work since buying it three decades ago. Despite it …
1964 MZ BK350 with Sidecar
Post Listing Update: As pointed out by a few commenters, this price is to good to be true and this listing is a scam. I’ve removed the link. MZ has produced some oddballs over the years, but the BK350 stands out thanks to a 2-stroke opposed twin motor with shaft drive. THis example is even cooler thanks to a Simpson …
2 of 17 – 1941 Harley-Davidson TA Knucklehead Trike Projects
Post Listing Update: These TA projects did not meet reserve with bidding stalling at $51,350. This won’t be cheap or easy to finish, but it’s a hell of a find that someone needs to take care of. The Wheels Through Time museum has 2 of the 17 Harley TA bikes ever built, but they’re incomplete. What’s a TA, you ask? …
1984 Moto Guzzi SP1000 with Sidecar and Trailer
A few weeks ago, I featured a modern Harley with a sidecar and trailer, and the general consensus (understandably) was that you’d be better off with a truck. While that might be true, I still find these combinations interesting – triply so when it’s a classic Italian, the sidecar allows the bike to lean, and everything is painted to match!
Bring The Family – 2006 Harley with Sidecar and Trailer
Thanks to a 2-person Hannigan sidecar and a Little Guy camper, this Harley is ready to carry 4 people and all of their stuff – or just two people that want to sleep with their bike. I’m trying to remember the last time I saw this amount of weight added to a motorcycle.
Hack Attack! 1978 CB750A Ending Soon
As if a ‘78 CB750A isn’t rare enough, why not put a Jawa/Velorex sidecar on it? Then just to be sure you have the one and only mount a Hedingham leading link front fork set up on it. If that doesn’t put you in the ‘one of a kind’ category, nothing will.
1995 BMW R1100RS with ARMEC Sidewinder
One of the drawbacks of sidecars is how it changes the bike’s cornering dynamics. But a Swiss company called ARMEC offers a solution – a sidecar designed to allow for the motorcycle to lean as normal. They call it the Sidewinder, and it’s a rare sight in the US.
Sidecar Adventure Rig – 1991 Suzuki DR650
This Suzuki DR650 has grown quite an appendage – a sidecar specifically designed for overland exploration. Now you can take everything AND the kitchen sink with you.
