Produced between ’32 and ’36, the RL series of Harley-Davidsons were released in the middle of the Great Depression. Here’s one that looks absolutely fantastic (assuming that you’re like and me and that you love patina).

A few days ago, I featured a modern Sportster with a retro paint job that I really enjoyed:
Cheap Rare Tourer – 1983 Honda CB1000C Custom
Produced for just one year, the Honda CB1000C Custom was notable for the TRAC anti-dive system and dual-range transmission (a sub-transmission that let you choose high or low for any given gear, even if people only really used it to act as a sixth gear/overdrive).

View PostAll Original – 1968 Harley-Davidson FLH Electra Glide
This impressive specimen is claimed to be an all original (except for the speedo), 47 year old Electra Glide that’s never had an accident or been down. Everything runs well – it was taken on a 800 mile ride last year with no problems. The bike has 38,000 miles and it has sat for 3 months. Find it for sale …
Ivory Comet – 1997 Harley-Davidson Sportster Custom
I was pleasantly surprised to see this bike available for sale, as I saw it at last year’s Venice Vintage Motorcycle Club Rally, where it won best Cafe Racer. This bike has received a tremendous amount of press and won several other awards, including best Cafe Racer at the 2014 Born Free Show.
“The Narrow One” – 1974 Harley Shovelhead Custom
Post-Sale Update: After being relisted, the Narrow One was sold for $8,500. This Shovelhead bobber is claimed to be an excellent runner (the seller says he’s taken it between LA and Vegas several times) based on a numbers matching ’74 frame, motor, and transmission.
2005 Kawasaki KZ1000P Police
A bike for those of you that look like Erik Estrada, this Kawasaki KZ1000P is from the last year of production and comes with nearly all of the police equipment (strobe lights, CB radio with walkie-talkie, nightstick holder) except for the siren, though the wiring and switches for the siren are still present.
King of the Road – 1958 Harley-Davidson Duo Glide
If you’re a patina guy, this is your bike. This ’58 (the first year of the swingarm chassis, hence the name “Duo”, as well as hydraulic rear brakes) has the F-6 package, also known as the “King of the Highway” Group.
