1938 BSA M-21

In England, Standard by AbhiLeave a Comment

Here’s a lovely example of BSA’s venerable M-21. It’s a military version that still has the sidecar fittings, but the 600cc single engine and gearbox were rebuilt 20 years ago. It has just 11 miles since the work. There’s very little left before this bike is completely finished: you’ll need to add the left side knee pad and replace the …

Reader Ride – 1st Edition 1965 Ducati 160 Monza Junior

In Italy, Small Displacement by AbhiLeave a Comment

I’ve always thought the Ducati 160 Monza Junior was a little bizarre – it was oddly blocky and squared off. Granted, I appreciate when companies try something different, but I’m still on the fence about how attractive the bike was. Thanks to this reader submission, however, I learned that the first ‘edition’ of the Monza actually featured some rounder bodywork. …

1946 Harley-Davidson FL Knucklehead Bobber

In America, Cruiser by AbhiLeave a Comment

Here’s a Knucklehead Bobber (VIN: 46FL 4547) that has original Flanders bars and a Bates seat. There are plenty of aftermarket pieces including the coil, horn, front pipe, push rod covers, headlight, taillight, dash cover, and more. As you’d expect, it’s a bit of a mashup – the frame is from a ’40 or early ’41 bike, and it has …

1979 KTM MC80

In Austria, Off-Road by AbhiLeave a Comment

Here’s your chance to beat up on some vintage Maicos with a fully redone KTM MC80. Plenty of the bike is still original, though the plastics, graphics, tires, and brakes are new. You’ll also get rebuilt stock Ohlins shocks to complement the original Bing carb, Motoplat ignition, and Magura controls. I feel like I’ve seen plenty of MC80s, which feature …

Needs Some Work – 1974 Ducati 750 GT

In Italy, Sport by AbhiLeave a Comment

Everyone seems to love the 750 GT, but this one’s going to require a little bit of work. It’s received a ‘full cosmetic restoration’ in the last 12 months, but it has not been started in at least 7 years. If you’ve got some mechanical skills, this could be your chance to pick up a classic Duc for relatively cheap… …
