In Cruiser, Italy by Abhi4 Comments

Post-Sale Update: This Ambassador was snagged for the BIN of $5,000. Produced for just a few years, the Ambassador was never as well known as bikes like the Eldorado (which replaced this bike). Built to target the American market, MG saw a way to compete with Harley with a 757cc variant of the venerable V-Twin.

1949 Harley-Davidson WL45

In America, Cruiser by AbhiLeave a Comment

With the current owner since 1952, this Harley-Davidson WL45 has a great patina thanks to extended storage in a barn, assuming you believe the ‘barn find’ story, especially considering it’s been with the same owner for so long. Still, the bike has recently had a complete tune-up including the installation of a new wiring harness and battery. It’s claimed to …

In America, Cruiser by AbhiLeave a Comment

This numbers-matching Shovelhead was a daily rider for the last couple of years, during which it got up to about 68,000 miles on the odometer. But it’s just had an engine rebuild and is ready for a new owner. Extras include a S&S Super E carb and 10-spoke Hallcraft wheels. I vote you dump the handlebars for some stockers and …

In America, Cruiser by Abhi1 Comment

Here’s a beautiful FL Panhead that has had an old repaint with a lot of rebuilt parts – engine, transmission, brakes, wheels, petcock, rockers, and front suspension.

Japanese Harley – 1959 Rikuo VLE

In Cruiser, Japan by AbhiLeave a Comment

Post Listing Update: After being relisted, this Rikuo VLE did not meet reserve at $9,200. During the Great Depression, Harley-Davidson was on the verge of bankruptcy – partially due to the 1921 Safeguarding of Industries act which imposed a 33.3% tariff on American products like Harleys that were threatening UK manufacturers. Because this pretty much shut Harley out of the …
