Quick note at the top here: the seller has misidentified this bike as a Model 364. That’s a typo. As far as I’m aware, JAWA never sold a Model 364. This is, in fact, a Model (although, JAWA uses the word “Type”) 634. Anyway, they still make JAWAs, apparently. I didn’t know that. In fact, they still manufacture this exact …
2021 Janus Halcyon 250
Based in Goshen, Indiana, Janus Motorcycles has been steadily growing in size since they started in the early 2010s – both in terms of sales as well as the displacements they offer! The original models utilized a 2-stroke 50cc engine, but now you can get 4-strokes in either 250 or 450 cubic centimeters.
Drixton Framed in Europe – 197x Honda CB350
Over at Iconic, we’re about to do some business with Oliver Lomas (the son of Jim Lomas, of JL Exhausts fame) to help distribute JollyMoto exhausts and during my reserach I found that they’ve also got some cool bikes for sale. Here’s a great example – a Drixton-framed Honda CB350!
AHRMA Racer – 1973 BMW R75/5
Post Sale Update: It’s a long and semi-complicated story, but…this bike is now in my garage. I plan on racing it in Sportsman 750 in the 2025 AHRMA season! My buddy Don is selling a BMW R75/5 that has a lot of promise as a Formula 750 race bike in AHRMA – please buy it so that I have another …

“NorCeptor” – Norton Commando Frame with Honda Interceptor Engine
We’ve covered all sorts of hybrids over the years – Tritons, Norleys, even a “Grumph”. But here’s a first for me – a Norton frame stuffed with a Honda Interceptor V4 engine…
1966 Simplex Sportsman Senior
Fellow Americans, you don’t know how lucky you are. I live in England at the moment, and I’m aware that there’s a perception that motorcycling is more dynamic in the UK and Europe. That may be somewhat true in the variety of motorcycle types that get ridden here but I can assure you: American classified ads are way more fun.
2000 Excelsior-Henderson Super X
The world of motorcycling has always been heavily populated by dreamers and charlatans. I suppose such a statement could be applied to most business sectors, but in motorcycling it can be particularly hard to tell who is who. Is a person naive or nefarious; sometimes even the person themself doesn’t know.
Flying Fortress – 2017 Moto Guzzi MGX-21
Not so many years ago, I got a chance to visit Moto Guzzi’s factory in Mandello del Lario, Italy, where the iconic brand has been producing bikes for more than 100 years. As we were being shown around, our factory guide pointed to a gated opening in a nearby cliff.
Four Kilometers – 2000 MV Agusta F4 750
Post Sale Update: this MV Agusta sold for $21,400 (including the buyer’s fee) after 32 bids on Iconic Motorbike Auctions. Seeing as I was just whining about the looks of MV’s newest bike and hoping that they’ll bring back the F4, it only seems fair to share an early example of the original…with just two and half miles on it, …
1978 Kawasaki KZ1000 A2
Post Listing Update: this Kawasaki did not meet reserve with 21 bids up to $5,550 on eBay. That is a very pretty KZ. Not exactly stock (your mileage may vary on the aesthetic appeal of those blacked-out pipes, for example), but gorgeous nonetheless.
Picture Intermission – MV Agusta Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro
A client came by this week with one of the most expensive motorcycles currently available for sale – the $70,098 (!) MV Agusta Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro. I had to snap some photos – what do you think of it?
Pikes Peak Racer – 2015 KTM 1290 Super Duke R
Post Sale Update: this KTM sold for $9,999 (including the buyer’s fee) after 26 bids on Iconic Motorbike Auctions. Raced by my buddy Rennie Scaysbrook as part of Team Cycle News at the 2015 running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, this Super Duke R was sold to a private party in 2019 through our auction site (Iconic) but …
1966 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide FLH
Post Listing Update: this Harley-Davidson did not meet reserve with 61 bids up to $19,900 on eBay. 1966 was the first year of the Shovelhead motor, a powerplant that would last until 1984 when Harley introduced the Evolution. The “Electra Glide” name signified that this bike had an electric starter which was introduced only a year prior. Cycle World was …
1971 Indian Boy Racer
Post Listing Update: this Indian was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown. Back in the days when Floyd Clymer owned the Indian name, he dabbled with a few small motorcycles like the Papoose, Indian Boy Racer, MM-5 minibike or the MT series of dirtbikes. One option was the Super Scrambler, which was offered in red/white, blue/white, or yellow/black.
