We've got three auctions ending today on @iconicmo

We've got three auctions ending today on @iconicmotorbikes (iconicmotorbikeauctions.com)!⁠
⁠
The third one ends at 12pm PST - it's a 1988 Yamaha YSR50 that’s being listed by our good friend Adrenaline Cycles @adrenalinecycleinc. ⁠
⁠
Adam took these photos himself - it started right up and he attests that this is a nice example of a sought after little 2 stroke. ⁠

We've got three auctions ending today on @iconicmotorbikes (iconicmotorbikeauctions.com).⁠
⁠
The second one ends at 11am PST - it's a new old stock 1981 Honda GL500 engine! Great for a project, custom build or anything you can dream up!⁠

We've got three auctions ending today on @iconicmo

We've got three auctions ending today on @iconicmotorbikes (iconicmotorbikeauctions.com)!⁠
⁠
The first one ends at 10am PST - it's a 1992 Honda NSR250R MC21 and the reserve has been met! The owner spent quite a bit of time and money on this and it's very close to being a great rider but it's not running right just yet.⁠
⁠
“This bike came to me as a frame with a rebuilt engine in it, the rest was in boxes. I slowly rebuilt everything to make it as safe and reliable as possible."⁠
⁠
“It has a rebuilt engine, thoroughly cleaned and synced carburetors, rebuilt calipers, new brake pads, new chain and sprockets, rebuilt front end, water wetter and distilled water coolant, Motul gearbox oil, Bel-Ray H1-R two-stroke oil.”⁠
⁠
“Once I had the bike complete and ready for a test ride I was warming it up on my lift, as I was pulling it off the bike turned off. I was thoroughly confused since it would fire up first kick for months. I found it had no spark, I tested every component in the ignition and charging system according to the manual and everything checked out, the only thing it could possibly be is the ECU. After years of tinkering with this bike I can no longer deal with it, replace the ECU and it’ll be a solid bike for the street or track.”⁠
⁠
Our followers were kind enough to list off a couple places where you can find a replacement ECU, so let us know if we can help!⁠ plus it’s got a bunch of spare parts and another set of bodywork.

Met @randyawni for lunch at @gilberts_el_indio - upon learning that this bike is called a Mastiff, he promptly sat his gorgeous Australian Shepherd named Kassidy on it for some dog-on-sort-of-dog goodness. Awww.

The bike handles like crap because the tires are so squared off (look at the second to last photo), so @redrumninja636 is replacing the tires (decided to go with some @pirellimotousa Diablo Rosso IIIs) and flushing fluids - might just have to take it out for a Sunday ride!

I bought something weird… This is a MZ Mastiff,

I bought something weird…

This is a MZ Mastiff, which is a super rare street-legal supermoto based around the engine from a Yamaha XT660 single, complemented by a WP shock, Marzocchi forks. Grimeca brakes, Excel wheels and Acerbis bodywork (how’s that for a supporting cast?). Plus, this one’s got an aftermarket exhaust and Keihin FCR39 flat slides!

In their review, @motorcyclenews summed it up quite well: “The MZ Mastiff is solidly-built and with looks that could launch nuclear missiles, “aggressive” just about sums up the Mastiff. However, it’s a great road bike, easy and huge fun to ride. Perfect pulling power for townies or twisties and tough enough to withstand abuse and the elements. Pleasantly unusual, too. It’s a goodie.”

It runs great but it needs new tires and a little cosmetic love. Going to make it street-worthy, enjoy it for a few weeks and then you’ll see it on @iconicmotorbikes auctions!

@cest_la_vyvy and I went to San Diego this weekend

@cest_la_vyvy and I went to San Diego this weekend, and one of my highlights was a quick visit to the @sdautomotivemuseum. Based on the name I wasn't expecting to see many bikes, but they have one of the 36 examples of the Dan Gurney Alligator and that was arguably worth the admission fee by itself!⁠
⁠
If you're not familiar with the Alligator, it was the brainchild of Dan Gurney (and eventually integrated into his company, All American Racers) and one of the most interesting recent ideas in motorcycle design. As a tall guy, Dan felt that the normal riding position was too high and tight – he decided to do something about it and create a bike that one sat in, rather than on.⁠
⁠
It utilized a Honda XR650 motor that had been bored out to 708cc. Claimed hp was 63 with a 0-60 time of 3 seconds and a quarter mile of 11.8 seconds @ 140 mph.⁠
⁠
Back in 2014 I got the chance to sit on a prototype of the Alligator's rebirth using a S&S V-Twin (150 hp/140 lb-ft) but I don't think that ended up going anywhere. Still, check out the last three photos to see what the prototype was like...⁠

Every year, @ama_racing raffles off “off one or

Every year, @ama_racing raffles off “off one or more historically significant motorcycles to raise money for the charity.” At the 2016 @mamatriedshow show in, they auctioned off this @bmwmotorradusa R75/5 which had been customized by Tony Prust of @analogmotorcycles. Analog calls it the “AMA BMW R75GS.”⁠
⁠
The current owner purchased it in 2019 from the AMA raffle winner. He says it’s in excellent condition with 1,100 miles on it. Analog has a great build list on their site, but highlights include Fox shocks, Race Tech gold valves and springs in the forks, Dyna III ignition, Motogadget electronics, and a bunch of Analog's own parts through @analogmotorgoods: subframe, billet top triple, bar clamps, pegs for rider and passenger, luggage rack, cone mufflers, custom aluminum number plate/fenders/seat pan/battery train, and much more.⁠
⁠
Link in bio for the listing - it's in northern New Jersey for $13,000 on @advriderofficial.⁠

As a bike that you could take straight from the de

When it was released, the @harleydavidson XLCR (CR

When it was released, the @harleydavidson XLCR (CR stood for Cafe Racer) was supposed to be an instant classic powered by Harley’s most powerful production engine to date. It was a jet black departure from HD’s usual chrome fare. It didn’t sell well at all – now it’s a cult classic, and today @gaslampmotorworks is offering up the nicest XLCR that I've ever seen.

This example (VIN: 7F01864H7) has just 4 miles and is on the original MSO – the seller states that it’s always been kept in climate-controlled storage and it was a 100pt AMCA winner at the Oley swap meet show. The sale includes the original parts book, 100pt engraved silver AMCA plate, unassigned MSO, manuals, brochures, warranty documents, and service book. Also, I love the Statue of Liberty New York license plate from back in the day!

It's currently on eBay with bidding up to $16,800 and the reserve not yet met. Link in bio to throw in a bid!

In the late 1980s, Japanese investor Yoshiyuki Hay

In the late 1980s, Japanese investor Yoshiyuki Hayashi approached Roberto Gallina (of Team Gallina) in hopes of joining forces to create their own cutting-edge motorcycle.⁠
⁠
The new bike was named the Quattro 750, and it was powered by a heavily-reworked Suzuki GSX-R750 engine which featured gear-driven cams as well as magnesium cases and heads. At a time when the stock motor made 105, the Quattro's made 135.⁠
⁠
The other components were just as impressive - Marzocchi suspension, Marvic wheels, Brembo brakes, and bodywork designed by Roberto Ugolini (the designer of the Bimota Tesi 1D, among others).⁠
⁠
It was originally built to compete in WSBK, but financial issues stemming from the '89 Japanese stock market crash meant Hayashi pulled his funding after just ten prototypes were built. Supposedly, each prototype cost about $250k to build (roughly $560k today).⁠
⁠
@teamobsolete has one of the ten, and it's got just 178 miles. Link in bio to check out their listing, where they're asking for $45,000…unless @iconicmotorbikes does something crazy with it first. =)
