Post-Sale Update: This Enterprise sold for $25,000…to a Bike-urious reader in France! It’s going to take a while but I’ll try to get more details about the story when possible. Obviously, this is going to need a full restoration, but what a piece of motorcycling history! The Enterprise was the vision of Orley Raymond Courtney, an incredible designer who sadly …
Restored – 1976 BMW R90S
View Post58k Miles – 1964 Honda Dream 305
Now this is impressive. This Dream has a healthy 58,000 miles on it – and only 350 were put on in the last 20 years!
Restored by Seller – 1952 BMW R51/3
Built over four years, the R51/3 was introduced in 1951. It was one of the first bikes BMW released after they were allowed to start creating motorcycles post WWII, so they took one of their pre-war designs and evolved it to prevent having to start from scratch.
$150K – 1917 Henderson Four Factory Racer
Looks like Heroes Motorcycles has performed a full restoration on what’s claimed to have been a factory racer Henderson Four. Not much information is given, but it’s powered by a 1,100 cc (67 cubic inch) engine. Wish there was more documentation of the restoration given, but I’m pretty much featuring this for the shock value of the sticker price.
1971 Rupp Roadster 2
Post-Listing Update: Despite 14 bids on eBay, this Rupp Roadster did not meet reserve at $1,536. In 1971, Rupp Manufacturing was flying high. The year prior, owner Mickey Rupp was honored as one of the “Outstanding Young Men of America”, and they had become more than a snowmobile manufacturer – they were also cranking out ATVs, go-karts, and mini-bikes. The …
Thailand Taxi – Unknown Custom Trike
Guessing game time! This “taxi trike” was imported from Thailand many years ago. It spent time in a Hollywood collection and was in a few shows, like Murder She Wrote. Can anyone identify the parts used to make this thing?
< 2K Miles - 1989 Honda GB500
Post Sale Update: This GB sold for $5,000 after 24 bids on eBay. You’re all familiar with the Honda GB500, a bike that I have trouble not featuring. This example was bought by the seller in 2005, and it’s apparently taken him/her 10 years to realize s/he isn’t going to ride it. Now it’s your change to put some miles …
1993 BMW K75S
You seemed to enjoy the cheap BMW K100RS tourer I featured a few days ago, so let’s follow that up with another cheap flying brick.
1957 AJS Model 30
A predecessor of the Model 31 I recently featured, this AJS Model 30 is thankfully ready to go as is.
1968 Honda CB450 K1
The K1 CB450 was a one year only bike, and it was the last Honda to rock chrome panels on the gas tank.
2011 Husaberg FS570
When this bike came out, it was a bit of a revelation. It wasn’t cheap, but many reviewers considered it to be the best supermoto you could buy at the time.
1979 Honda CB750 10th Anniversary
10 years after releasing the CB750, Honda put out an Anniversary Edition to mark the occasion. Differences between the Anniversary Edition and the K model include mag rims instead of spoked wheels, and different badges/side covers. Like the base bike, the 748cc engine produced 78 horsepower and 48 pound-feet of torque that went through a 5-speed transmission, yielding a top …
1986 Yamaha SRX600
Just like the SR500, the SRX600 featured the engine from one of Yamaha’s dirtbikes placed into a chassis to enable sporty street riding. Unlike the SR500, this bike sold poorly outside of Japan. Here in the states, it only lasted for a year. But the 45 horsepower was enough to have fun, and some people consider it to be a …
Nice Price – 1974 BMW R90S
This is a ‘rider’, not a show bike, but I think the $7,500 price reflects that just fine. I haven’t seen a good-running example of the R90S for this cheap in a while, but can you get over the faults?
