1986 Moto Morini 500 Sport For Sale

SOLD!  The final stage of the early Moto Morini twins’ evolution, the 500 Sport is a handsome and affordable - and very unique - Italian classic.  With its Heron cylinder heads, dry clutch and six-speed box and top-drawer Italian components, these are exotic yet reliable machines.  This example shows very little evidence of its low 6,854 miles and has spent the better part of its life on display in a climate-controlled environment.

Check out the hi-resolution pics HERE and you'll see just how well-preserved this machine is.  There is unfortunately some staining on the left side lower frame and swing arm from a battery acid overflow and a couple of small chips (visible in the hi-res photos) from normal use.  Otherwise, mint.

1973 Benelli 650 Tornado For Sale

In 1969 Benelli introduced the Tornado 650; a vertical twin designed primarily for sale in Great Britain and the US. The Tornado earned a reputation for reliability and high performance.  Benelli claimed at the time of launch that the Tornado was capable of 57 hp at 7,400rpm for a top speed of 117 mph.

This example is completely original and the previous owner was well known to the current owner.  It’s was a strong runner with 9,651 miles recorded on the clock when decommissioned for display and has been stored in a climate-controlled environment for the past six years. The dent in the right-side muffler was sustained in a stationary tip-over.

 Often overlooked, the Tornado uses all the top Italian components available back in the day and is unique and well regarded Italian classic twin. Please click HERE to see a high-resolution photo set on this machine.

1951 Ariel 998cc Square Four For Sale

SOLD !

Designed by Edward Turner, creator of the legendary Triumph Speed Twin, the first Ariel Square Four was shown at the Olympia Motorcycle Show in 1930. Conceived as an overhead-camshaft 500, the model grew to 601cc before a total redesign saw it emerge as the Model 4G, with 995cc overhead-valve engine.

I fell in love with this bike while I was photographing it on an Indian Summer afternoon.  The setting – dappled sunlight through trees rich with the colors of fall seemed to give this survivor an almost majestic presence in the woodlot.  It’s complete – and waiting for someone to breathe a second life into it. 

You can see the complete hi-resolution photoset HERE.   The bike is located in the Toronto, Ontario, Canada region.

1929 Harley Davidson JD For Sale

SOLD!

I’m listing this 1929 Harley Davidson JD for a very good friend who’s not very computer savvy.  I’ve personally seen the machines and took the listing photos last summer.

First introduced 1n 1915, the “J” Series motorcycles produced by Harley Davidson were designed to not only compete with European, and American motorcycle manufacturers; they were designed to put Harley Davidson at the top of the motorcycling world. Development of the “J” Series bikes culminated with the release of the JD in 1929. This bike quickly set the standard for performance with over 20 horse power and a high top speed. At around 400 pounds, this bike was quite quick for the time and was capable of 80 Miles per Hour!

This Police H-D and OEM sidecar was one of four originally ordered by Toronto Harley dealer Bert Kennedy for the Toronto Police Department.  The department only took three, so this one went to a civilian who; for many years loaned it to the Ontario Provincial Police for use in their displays.   The machine was also on display for a time in the Canadian Vintage Motorcycle Group museum.

Prior to the current owner acquiring it, the original sidecar was restored, however the bike has remained as parked a good many years ago.  These are very rare machines and this one - even in its “survivor” state has incredible presence. 

The complete hi-resolution photoset for this bike; located in the Toronto, Ontario, Canada region is HERE and you can watch a video on this machine HERE..

1972 Moto Guzzi 850 Eldorado For Sale

The 850cc Eldorado, unleashed in 1972 with a price tag of $1,985, would be Moto Guzzi’s most potent weapon in the battle against Harley for US market share. The new cruiser was built on basically the same chassis as the Ambassador but featured a five-speed transmission and an engine that boasted far more torque than the it predecessor’s 750cc V-twin. The extra oomph came courtesy of a new crankshaft with a throw of 78mm instead of 70mm, driven by completely redesigned pistons that increased the compression ratio from 9:1 to 9.2:1.

One of the most iconic of the Guzzi machines, the Eldorado has also proven to be one of the most reliable and enduring of the classics.  This one is in incredible shape for an original example, with the expected patina of age and a few light scrapes on the left side crash guard.  Only 7,149 ORIGINAL miles.  The original owner bought bike new and rode it extensively during 1972 including a trip from Toronto, Ontario Canada to Halifax, Nova Scotia and back – a distance of some 3,400km.  The bike was then parked and remained so until the owner’s death almost 5 years ago.  The bike was transferred to a family member and then purchased by the current owner.  The bike still had the 1972 license plate on it when it was acquired. 

The current owner started the machine just after acquiring it and took it out for about 3 hours, then decommissioned it and put it in with the rest of his collection.

The complete hi-resolution photoset for this bike; located in the Toronto, Ontario, Canada region is HERE.

1972 Triumph T150V Trident For Sale

A true “muscle bike” of the 70’s, there may have been machines that were faster and that handled better, but none could match the sensory thrill of running a T150 hard through the gears.  While still maintaining the classic Triumph silhouette, the T150V was a different beast altogether.

And this completely original example looks just like it probably would have in late 1973.  It shows very little patina or wear and but for the left side cover, is a machine that’s just too clean and original for restoration.  It's an excellent runner; still sporting Dunlop K81s and with only 2,876 ORIGINAL miles on the clock…

1989 Honda RC30 For Sale

SOLD!

"Out of the box" the machine was claimed to generate 112bhp with full road equipment, however this could be increased to 135bhp when prepared for competition use with the aid of the HRC race kit. The investment made in the models development was vindicated in its first season when Fred Merkel secured the Superbike World Championship in 1988, repeating the success in 1989. The new model instantly became one of the most sought after road bikes, receiving praise from all those who tested it, although its high price and limited availability ensured that those lucky enough to acquire one joined an exclusive club envied by others, today the RC30 remains as desirable as it was twenty years ago.

RC30 #21 spent most of its 10,669km commuting between Toronto and Kingston, Ontario, Canada  and was truly pampered by the original owner.  While the machine was being moved from storage the rear cowl received some minor scratches (shown in the detaled pictures HERE).  Otherwise, this machine is in exceptional condition and even includes the leather bound owner’s manual.  Located in the Toronto, Ontario, Canada region.

1934 Scott Isle of Man TT Replica For Sale

Image by loudbike via Flickr

The post-World War I period saw the growing dominance of the four-stroke block Scott’s pre-war success at the Isle of Man TT; however, Scott did win the manufacturer’s prize in 1922 for the Squirrel (aka the flying Squirrel). In 1928, the Squirrel secured a well-earned third place, which justified producing a TT replica model for the 1929 range. Offering the superior rigidity of the duplex frame while also incorporating the TT full-frame fuel tank, the company’s telescopic forks and additional bracing for strength, the TT replica is and remains a highly capable piece of engineering. Produced until 1950, Alfred Scott’s yowling two-stroke is considered a true and formidable collector’s piece.

This particular 1934 TT Replica was restored by Andrew Bosson of Columbus, Ontario. Bosson; a patternmaker by trade, was able to faithfully replicate many of the components that were missing from the machine - the horn, engine shield, battery holder and many more unique parts including the front kickstand. The tapered roller wheel bearings were a size that’s no longer available so Bosson modified modern bearings and races to fit. The nickel-plated radiator is a hand made new unit that is an exact duplicate of the original and works perfectly.  As part of the restoration, the crank, the cylinder, piston etc were sent over to a Scott expert in England where they were rebuilt with remanufactured parts.  Bosson put over 1,800km on the completed machine before it was acquired by the current owner who logged under 100km before decommissioning the bike for display in a climate-controlled facility.  You can view a detailed, hi-resolution photoset of the machine HERE and a brief video of the bike HERE
