Called the “Gonzo Guzzi”, this custom Eldorado 850 (VIN: 061146) was rebuilt and customized by Svenmeister Motorcycle Works, then featured in Rebel Rodz in 2007. It was up for sale back in 2009 but I can’t figure out how high bidding went that time.
“Sports Hog” – Custom 1994 Suzuki GSX-R 750
Here’s an odd-ball pairing – a 1994 Suzuki GSX-R 750 that’s been modified to look like a Harley. Work includes a 8 inch stretch to the swing arm, 18 inch ape handlebars, Harley teardrop exhausts, and a custom made fender from a Wide Glide. I’m almost speechless: Find the Sports Hog for sale here on Craigslist in Ambler, Pennsylvania for …

1946 Harley-Davidson FL Knucklehead Bobber
Here’s a Knucklehead Bobber (VIN: 46FL 4547) that has original Flanders bars and a Bates seat. There are plenty of aftermarket pieces including the coil, horn, front pipe, push rod covers, headlight, taillight, dash cover, and more. As you’d expect, it’s a bit of a mashup – the frame is from a ’40 or early ’41 bike, and it has …
“Earache” – 1968 BSA A65 Custom
While writing up a Triumph Salt Flat Racer a few days ago, I stumbled upon Factory Metal Works. On their site I discovered a beautiful custom built around a BSA A65 motor – they’ve named it “Earache”, and I’m a fan.

1942 Harley-Davidson WLA
Of all the motorcycles Harley produced for the military, the Harley-Davidson WLA was by far the most common – though that doesn’t mean it’s easy to find nowadays. Based on the WL (W – a model line of bikes, L – high compression, A – Army), this bike helped create a dramatic rise in Harley’s popularity as surplus bikes were …

1947 Harley-Davidson FL Knucklehead
Here’s a gorgeous Harley-Davidson FL Knucklehead (VIN: 47FL9239) that’s got a 20 year-old restoration. It’s not completely OEM – the front end is from a late model springer, the transmission is from a ’50 model, there’s a disk brake up front and it’s been converted to foot shift, hand clutch, and a 12V electrical system. But I’m not a purist …
1972 Moto Guzzi Eldorado Police
Post-Listing Update: Despite 39 bids getting up to $20,800, this Moto Guzzi Eldorado Police did not meet reserve. The best selling model MG ever produced, the Eldorado has been a classic for decades.

Sons of Anarchy – 1946 Harley Knucklehead
Post-Listing Update: Despite 36 bids on eBay, this Knucklehead did not meet reserve at $34,100.
