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 – …
1968 Moto Guzzi V700 Ambassador
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.
Typical Lowlife – 1983 Denver’s Chopper
Built and owned by Freddie Hernandez of Denver’s Choppers from 1983-2005, this bike is called “Typical Lowlife” and is built around a KZ1000 engine. The builder now owns Fred’s Frames. This bike is unrestored so the paint has aged a bit. The last time it was displayed at a show was in 2013, and it has spent the last 10 …
2 Miles – 1995 Triumph Thunderbird
Post Listing Update: This Thunderbird did not meet reserve despite 21 bids up to $4,151. Here’s a first-year example of the Triumph Thunderbird 900 that has all of 2 miles on it – and those miles aren’t from riding, just from moving it around. It seems it was bought with the intent of collecting, though this seems like an odd …
Ford Promotion – 2004 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy
In 2004, Ford and Harley-Davidson partnered up to introduce the F-150 Harley-Davidson edition:
2007 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy Skull Train
In 2007, Harley released a limited number of 150 sets of “Skull Train” bodywork for the Fat Boy. This bike is #60 of 150. The package is solely cosmetic, though this specific bike has a lot of extra Harley aftermarket parts. The seller claims that over $38k has been invested. Find this Skull Train for sale in Sarasota, Florida for …
One Owner – 1974 Harley-Davidson Sportster XLH
Post-Sale Update: After 48 bids on eBay, this Sportster sold for $7,200. Here’s an impressively preserved example of a XLH Sportster from back in the AMF days of Harley-Davidson. Despite being 41 years old and having some (as the seller calls it) ‘beauty marks’ like a crack in the speedo and some scratches on the tank, this is a beautiful …
1972 Moto Guzzi Ambassador
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
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 …
2001 Indian Scout Centennial Edition
In 2001, Indian (at the time, this was the version of the company that was based out of Gilroy, California) built a limited run of Chiefs and Scouts (2001 each) to celebrate the company’s centennial. Enter the Indian Scout Centennial Edition, which was available in either French Vanilla or Black.
1976 Harley-Davidson FLH
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 …
“His and Hers” – 2011 Custom Chopper and Trike
The chopper you see here was built for the June 2012 centerfold of Easyriders magazine. The builder (Capone’s Street Rod Motorcycles) then brought the bike to Daytona, where it was sold to someone who had a matching trike built for his girlfriend to ride. The seller claims that $50K was put into both bikes, now you can pick up the …
1948 Harley-Davidson FL Panhead
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. For me it’s the best of both worlds new on the inside (600 miles on the engine break-in) but well-worn on the outside. Find this Panhead for sale in Hudson, Wisconsin with bidding …
1977 Harley-Davidson FXE Confederate Edition
Post-Sale Update: This Harley-Davidson FXE Confederate Edition sold for $8,700. In 1976, Harley released a limited run of bikes called the Liberty Edition to commemorate America’s bicentennial. The next year, they released the Confederate Edition…which celebrated something else? Just 631 units were built across the Harley range – most were Sportsters or Super Glides like this one, but 6 different …
CHP – 1938 Harley-Davidson Patrol Bike
I adore police bikes, and this classic Harley is a beautiful example of an ex-California Highway Patrol motorcycle. Too bad the pictures are all so tiny.
