Here’s Matt’s first post – featuring the juggernaut that is the BMW GSA!
2001 BMW R1150GS Custom
The R1150GS sold very well, but almost all the modifications riders make are farkles for long distance touring. This bike has also had some cosmetic work done – how do you think it went?
1942 Excelsior Villiers Welbike
Post-Listing Update: This Welbike got no action at the opening bid of $11,000. At the request of the British government, Excelsior developed the Welbike, a tiny single seater that was designed to be dropped into combat situations via parachute-equipped containers, then unpacked and moving on the road within 11 seconds.
Needs Some Work – 1970 Hercules K125BW
BW stands for Bundeswehr, or Germany’s armed forces, so you can probably guess what this Hercules was designed for!
Sammy Miller – 1965 Bultaco Sherpa T
This gorgeous motorcycle is a game changer. Bultaco came into being in the late 1950s with high quality racing motorcycles. They were involved in all forms of racing, but when they introduced their Sherpa T (trials) model they started to dominate the dirt.
Well Farkled – 2010 KTM 690 Enduro R
Ready to go around the world? Here’s a bike that’s waiting for you.
1967 Honda CL77 305 Scrambler
If you came of age in the late 1960s you were divided into two categories. Those that owned a 305 Scrambler or those that wanted one. Ah, sure, the CB77 Superhawk had it’s followers, but everybody wanted a Scrambler.
All-Electric – 2011 Zero DS Dual Sport
Zero is the largest ‘all electric’ motorcycle manufacturer and a survivor of the rush to electrics. They have consistently pushed the needle in performance and usability.
1985 BMW R80GS
Post Sale Update: After 15 bids on eBay, this GS sold for $7,200. Arguably the motorcycle that created the ‘adventure bike’ segment, the R80GS (and successors) has been invaluable to BMW. It’s also becoming harder and harder to find a good example.
Gravel Tracker – 1979 Yamaha XS650 Custom
View PostWell Farkled – 2013 BMW G650GS Sertao
The farkle list for this bike reads like it was a demo bike for Touratech, so if you’ve been looking to spend R1200GS money on a Sertao, come take a look.

View Post75th Anniversary – 1998 BMW R1100GS
For BMW’s 75th anniversary, the Germany company created a limited run (750 examples) of the R1100GS. Differences were limited to the special paint scheme and fancy paperwork called the “Edition Folder” for the owner – Euro bikes got a dark smoke windscreen and the US got a clear one.
