Post Listing Update: This Harley did not meet reserve with 3 bids up to $5,908. In 1977, Harley-Davidson built a limited edition of just 631 bikes across 6 models – they dubbed these motorcycles the Confederate Edition and they are some of the rarest Harleys ever built. Presumably due to political correctness, no Confederate Editions are on display at Harley’s …
3 Bikes – Police Motorcycle Collection
6-1-16 Update: The seller has let me know that the HD has sold. He’s now asking for $4,500 each for the remaining two, or $8,000 for both. Here are three police motorcycles being sold in a package deal – you’ve got an American, and Italian, and a Japanese bike. Sounds like the start to a bad joke (or the opening …
Moo Glide – 1993 Harley-Davidson Heritage Softail FLSTN
Post-Listing Update: This Moo Glide got no action at the starting bid of $8,993. In 1993, Harley Davidson releaseda limited run of the Heritage Softail: they called it the Nostalgia and produced just 2,700 examples. It was black and white with red pinstripes – that color scheme plus the cow-fur seat and bag accents led to the nickname of the …
Nice Price – 1999 Excelsior Henderson Super X
At the turn of the 20th century, Excelsior and Henderson were two of America’s preeminent motorcycle manufacturers. Schwinn bought up both brands in the 1910s and shut them down in September of 1931. Skip ahead 60 years to Minnesota in 1993 and the founding of the Hanlon Manufacturing Company in 1993 – they secured the rights to both the Excelsior …
2008 Saxon Mad Jack
Post-Listing Update: This Saxon did not get any action at the asking price of $12,500. I’ve never been much of a cruiser/chopper/bobber guy, but I’ve had no choice to learn more about them and appreciate them as I constantly search for motorcycles for you to enjoy. Over time I’ve seen several names come up over and over again – one …
In Australia – 1946 Harley-Davidson FL Knucklehead
Post-Sale Update: After 33 bids on eBay, this beautiful Knucklehead sold for $33,433. Harley-Davidson’s Knucklehead is an icon in American motorcycling, and this is a lovely example of the breed. This bike has been with the seller for just 2 years but it’s already looking for a new owner. It looks quite original, it’s beautiful, and it’s Down Under…
Unexpected Project – 1955 Ariel Square Four Chopper
Post-Sale Update: This Ariel chopper sold for a best offer of $6,599. Ariel’s Square Four engine is a thing of beauty, but it’s rarely used in custom builds. Here’s one of those rarities that needs some work before it gets back on the road.
2015 Arch KRGT-1
In 2006, Gard Hollinger customized a Harley-Davidson Dyna for actor Keanu Reeves, turning it into a long, low, and shiny sport cruiser. Reeves was apparently so enamored with it that he convinced Hollinger to start a company and produce a motorcycle with him. A few years later, Arch was born, and they released their first model – the KRGT-1.
NASCAR Promotion – 2001 Harley-Davidson Sportster 883
I can’t find an independent source to verify this, but according to the seller, this is one of four Sportsters built as a giveaway at NASCAR races in 2001. The promotion was organized by Miller Brewing, who was sponsoring driver Rusty Wallace at the time. Thus, these four bikes were all given a special paint scheme inspired by Rusty’s livery. …
Panhead Cop – 1960 Harley-Davidson Police
Post-Sale Update: This Panhead Police bike sold for $26,201 after 71 bids on eBay. According to the seller, this Harley has always been equipped as a police bike with a sidecar. While it’s currently decommissioned, the sweet police parts were not stripped, the wires were just cut. If you’re OK with some electrical work, you could have yourself a bike …
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!
Sons of Anarchy Star – 1946 Harley-Davidson Knucklehead Model E
Were you a big fan of Sons of Anarchy? Well, here’s your chance to acquire John Teller’s motorcycle, which was present for six season of the show. Besides, how often do you get to buy a motorcycle that has a die-cast toy replica?
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.
Numero Uno – 2004 Honda Rune
Post Listing Update: This Rune got no interest at the asking price of $25,000. The Honda Rune is already an interesting bike – but this specific example definitely stands out as it is serial number 1! When it was first released in 2004, the public was a bit stunned – amost people did not believe that this concept would actually …
