2008 Vanquish V8

In America, Cruiser by AbhiLeave a Comment

As if the Boss Hoss wasn’t crazy enough. Frankly, when I hear “Vanquish V8” I think of the gorgeous Aston Martin: Apparently it also refers to a batshit crazy motorcycle that puts down 550 horsepower thanks to a 427ci V-Brodix V-8. If you’ve been following Bike-urious for a while, you’ll know this isn’t my usual cup of tea. But still, …

Nice Price – 1999 Excelsior Henderson Super X

In America, Cruiser by AbhiLeave a Comment

In the early 1900s, Excelsior and Henderson were two of America’s best motorcycle manufacturers. Excelsior produced the first motorcycle to official hit 100 miles per hour, while Henderson was producing the favored bikes of America’s police officers.

Even though there was a limited run of them, there’s been a tremendous amount of the CMC (California Motorcycle Company) replica Captain America bikes (“endorsed by Peter Fonda”) up for sale in the last few months – I suspect that owners were trying to get max value after the original movie bike went on the block for giant money – …
