By the time Bultaco had got to the 10th version of the Pursang, you could order one in 125, 200, 250, and 370cc versions. This replica of the factory race bikes is based on a 250cc, meaning it was a Model 192 in Bultaco’s language of internal designations.

View Post1938 BMW R51 Racer
Post-Sale Update: After 27 bids on eBay, this R51 racer sold for $30,100. Then it was relisted and sold for $22,600.

AMA Supercross Racer – 2005 Honda CRF450R
Post-Listing Update: This CRF450R racer did not get any action at $10,500, or at the lower relisted price of $8,995. Kevin Windham (also known as KDub) was considered by some to be one of the best motocross racers to never win a national championship – though he placed second overall five times. 2005 was a dramatic year for him, as …
0 Miles – 2004 Honda Dream 50R
Post-Listing Update: This Dream did not get any action at the BIN of $4,699. In 2004, Honda sold 440 examples of the CB50R. Also called the Dream, it was a non-street-legal tribute to the RC110, Honda’s first 50cc Grand Prix racer which competed in 1962. This example has all of zero miles on it.
1 of 50 – 2007 Buell XBRR
A factory-built, $30,995 racebike, the Buell XBRR was Erik Buell’s effort at taking care of privateer racers, and it was specifically designed to compete in the AMA Formula Xtreme class. This might surprise you as FX was normally for modified 600cc bikes, and the XBRR uses a 1339cc Thunderstorm V-Twin. But considering it was the first year of competition with …

2007 Honda CRF450 Flat Tracker
Post Sale Update: After 46 bids on eBay, this CRF450 Flat Tracker sold for $7,301. I just discovered MotoViejo, an online consignment shop that has offered some great motorcycles in the past (like this Honda SL350 AHRMA racer I featured previously). Of note, it’s run by none other than David Edwards, former editor-in-chief (for 21 years!) of Cycle World. It’d …

Who feels like buying me an early Christmas present? The HP2 Sport, the R100RS Motorsport, and the R80G/S I recently featured were all produced …
Vesrah Prepped – 2004 Suzuki GSX-R750 Racer
Vesrah made a name for themselves in endurance racing over the last decade or so with their various Suzukis, and while they’ve downsized in recent years, the name still lives on for riders in the know. Here’s a track-only Vesrah endurance racer that’s ready for a new owner to start covering miles at speed.
Possibly Street Legal – 1972 Harley-Davidson XR750
Depending on your state of residence, this XR750 could make you the coolest commuter around! Equipped with lights (but not much else), this example of Harley history is street legal in a few states even though it lacks a speedometer, turn signals, any sort of subtlety, etc.
Drag Bike – 1984 Kawasaki ZN1100-B1
Kawasaki’s LTD series was introduced in 1976 – by 1984 it had grown to a 1100 and it got a shaft drive. A year later, Kawi came out with a new design and someone turned one of those revised bikes into an impressive dragster.
TT Special – 1967 Triumph T120TT
Post-Sale Update: After 28 bids on eBay, this Triumph T120TT Special sold for $14,999. The T120TT was Triumph’s “TT Special”, a US-only 650cc racer straight from the factory built between 1963 and 1967. It was built in response to requests from Bill Johnson, the man behind Johnson Motors, Triumph’s West Coast US distributor. Just 900 were built.
Ex-AMA Racer – 2010 Harley-Davidson XR1200
Post-Listing Update: I’m surprised to report that no one snapped this bike up at the BIN of $5,900. Between 2010 and 2014, the AMA and Vance & Hines came together to create a spec series of racing with Harley’s XR1200. Here’s #47 from the series, which will hopefully get a new lease on life on the tracks of America.

In honor of EBR’s announcement that they’re somehow back again, even if no one ever seems to buy their new bikes, here’s an ex-AMA Buell racer that was ridden by Shawn Higbee for Richie Morris Racing.
