1919 OHC Excelsior Boardtracker For Sale

Until Metal Wizard Paul Brodie came along, there were no 1919 OHC Excelsior Boardtrackers. Rumor has it that Ignaz Schwinn, owner of Excelsior, destroyed them all after factory rider Bob Perry was killed at Ascot Park CA, January 4, 1920, while practicing on the new race bike.

Working from three old black and white photographs, Paul started to recreate these machines in 2005. Excelsior #001 is now in New Yorks' Motorcyclepedia Museum, #002 is in the permanent collection at Yesterdays in Holland, and #003 is in a private collection in Australia...

Excelsior #004 is now complete and ready for it's new home. Paul is a perfectionist, and simply refuses to cut corners. Visit his website to read the whole story of the Excelsior's fabrication then check out the YouTube video of the machine running and hi-rez images of the machine on my Flickr page.

Here's what other people say about Paul and the Excelsior: "Paul Brodie's regenesis of the Excelsior OHC is more than just a remarkable feat of reverse engineering; it's a vindication of the Perry legacy ..." Robert Smith, writer, in Canadian Biker, May 2008 "We at Yesterdays are extremely proud to have Excelsior 002 in our permanent collection. She attracts much attention, and is admired by many visitors and experts. This recreation is a real technical masterpiece, and Paul's workmanship is of the highest possible level. "It takes a special kind of person to commit to design, fabricate, machine, assemble every component of a motorcycle that had been lost to history for 90 years from a couple of scratchy photos. I can't think of anyone else in the world capable of building something so complicated and exquisite so well. If anyone is considering owning such a unique example of American motorcycle racing history, Excelsior 004 is the perfect machine." Leon Srhoy, Fremantle, Australia, 003 Owner. 

Excelsior 004 is very reasonably priced at $129K, and Paul guarantees you'll be completely satisfied with its high level of workmanship and exceptional quality. Please feel free to contact Paul about acquiring the Excelsior, or with any questions whatsoever. He can be reached by phone at 604.888.8785 or by email at paul@flashbackfab.com

This is a very nicely put together custom using many top-drawer components like the Spondon frame fame and swing arm, Swarbrick exhaust, C&J Radiator, TZ500 monoshock, custom tank and seat.

1973 Yamaha TZ700 For Sale

This 1973/74 TZ is a stunning restoration performed by Montreal, Canada-based Bimota restoration specialist Francois Pelletier.  Good enough to have fooled more than a few TZ aficionados into the belief that it was as delivered by the factory.  Rider history is unknown as the machine went through a number of owners before it was found in rural Quebec, Canada. Years of storage in a less than ideal environment had taken a toll and the bike underwent a complete and painstaking restoration.  On tear-down, it became apparent that the bike had very little time on it so the bulk of the restoration work was cosmetic in nature. Frame and engine numbers are visible in the hi-resolution photos HERE. 

VIN (Frame) 409-000234, Original Canadian CSA sticker: CDN 867, mfg 11/73.

1989 Ducati 851 SP1 For Sale

SOLD!

Famed Ducati tuner Reno Leoni brought this bike (one of 100 made) in from the factory and took it directly from LaGuardia airport to the World Superbike event at the Mosport circuit in Ontario, Canada where noted Canadian journalist and motorcycle enthusiast, George Jonas talked him into selling it.  The current owner was able to acquire the machine about 10 years ago.

This machine is a gorgeous and rare (possibly the only one in North America) unmolested or modified example of Ducati's first limited edition 851 ‘Sport Production' bike.  Very low (1,561km) use with most of its life spent on display in a climate controlled facility, this machine comes with the original brochure, a stack of reference material and the original exhaust silencers.  The complete hi-resolution photoset for this bike is HERE.

1984 Suzuki RG500 Mk 11 For Sale

SOLD!  The Suzuki RG500 has some interesting history – raced by Trevor Nation in the 1986 TT.  From RealRoadRacing.Com:  "The Senior Race was even more exciting, and so nearly provided the highlight of Trevor's racing career. He took the RG500 Suzuki into the lead by Ballaugh on the first lap after early leader Steve Cull retired, and soon overtook Joey Dunlop on the road on his way to a cracking lap of 116.55mph. Joey emerged from the lap 2 pit stops just ahead on the road, but Trevor soon passed him again to lead Roger Marshall by a slender 2 seconds in the race. A great dice on the roads between Trevor and Joey then followed during laps 3 and 4, but as Trevor pulled away he appeared to be in command, leading the race by 13 seconds, when disaster struck. At the 32nd Milestone on lap 4 the bike suddenly expired, apparently out of fuel and Trevor could only look on in despair as Roger Burnett took advantage of problems for Marshall and Dunlop to take the win."

George Beale restored the machine, which was acquired by Kevin Wilson; who ran it at the Isle of Man Jurby circuit and then brought it over to Canada.  It was then purchased by the current owner who ran it at a track day at Mosport in Ontario, Canada about 8 years ago and then decommissioned it (fogged and drained). 

The machine is one of three built by Padgets in '86 through Suzuki under contract as a factory MK11 with a MK 9 power valve engine. One was built for George Farlow, one for Trevor Nation, and one for Darren Dixon.  Original cases #: rgb500-10150, rebuilt cases #: rgb500-10501 and Harris frame # HPMK.102. The bike includes the factory manual, parts catalogue and a stack of documentation.

High resolution pics are available HERE.

1986 Suzuki GSXR 750 Limited For Sale
