You are looking at a 1929 JDH 2 cam "cut down." (bobber these days). This bike has been a cut down ,I believe, about 80 years. There were only 100 of these Harley-Davidson motorcycles made in 1928 and 29. The 1929 crash and depression was on it's way and these Harleys were about 200 bucks more expensive so they didn't sell well. Better for us, I guess. It has 3 speeds and original rear stand and new chain, sprockets and clutch. A couple sets of points and some rear brake lining goes with this Harley.I got invited to the 2012 Canon ball run but our house caught fire and I had to rebuild it, so couldn't go. My preparation for the canonball was to completely rebuild the transmission which was done by Steve Lipoldt, rebuild the generator, with nos parts, done at Harbor Vintage in Vermont and to get the original coil rewound with, get this, 7500 feet of .0015 wire. New plug wires. These bikes had dual headlights as new but this one only has one with original taillight. It's been painted black & white for a very long time. It has two extra taillights I added to the rear. Can't have too much light back there. It has the rectangular dash, not the triangle dash with ammeter as some had. This 1929 was the second year of the front brake. With these old front brakes the bike went faster when it was pulled ;-). It now has a 1968 BSA double leading shoe front brake that stops great. Both wheels and tires are 400/18" Dunlop K70s (C pic). which handle and ride great. This bike is very nimble handling. The handlebars and spirals are re-manufactured with all new inner and outer cables. The grips are just tape like riders did back then. This machine has been completely rewired. It has switch and fuse on the ground wire for fast shutoff if needed, There is no speedo but there's no more that 600 miles on the motor and only about 100 miles on the other rebuilt items.This Harley is for sale on 3 other sites, Europe. plus locally so this auction may end without notice so if ya want or need a very very rare old museum piece or a daily rider, bid...ah nobody hasta tell ya that. Whomever really wants it is gonna win it. $1000 immediate deposit into my PayPal. Final payment is any way we agree on... Cash is king. Shipping is free in the con US if I get $55,000 and under 55 we'll split the shipping 50/50...Howzat? Winner must set up shipping with a trucker that ships to their area. I will help with any shipping. In Florida, after full payment, I will deliver it for the gas money. I know a vehicle shipper for specific area, between the southern USA and upper USA, east of the Mississippi and maybe into Canada although I never discussed Canada with him. He is fully insured and passionate about his care of antique vehicles. Just the lower end of these engines go for $10,000 or more if one's lucky enough to find one....Offers are gladly entertained. FWI: When I acquired this bike it had 400/18 1950, totally worn flat, dry rotted and cracked, Sears-Roebuck, tires on it. The pre WW 2 real rubber inner tubes held air pretty well with 4 patches in each tube. When I installed the new Dunlops, with new tubes, each wheel got 17 pounds lighter. Call Florida George at 772-466-9009 office-shop or 772-20104242 cell with any questions or to just bulls--t. Be glad to hear from y'all. Have fun bidding. AMCA # 6362I also buy, sell and rebuild Linkert carburetors.

I do em right and sometimes it ain't cheap depending on condition when I get em. I get $30 per hour, keeping track exactly, in a book I keep for time keeping.Been biking for 57 years and 500,000 miles.

It pains me to write this. This bike is my baby and has given me 20K miles of unbelievable experiences. I am the second owner and the bike now has 43,000 miles. Just recently, I put 120 miles on it through rural Vermont including the Champlain Islands. Unfortunately, I have developed a medical condition which is forcing me to sell it. I have a nerve issue in my thigh that is exacerbated by riding. This was confirmed again on my ride today so I need to stop. My loss is your gain. This particular bike is ready for a long haul trip to Yukon or as a reliable daily commuter. About the modelThe Caponord is a versatile adventure touring bike that is equally competent cruising highways at high speed, carving turns on mountain passes, and riding dirt logging trails. Similar to a BMW GS, the Caponord is more nimble because it is only 1000cc vs 1200cc. The bike has a bombproof Rotax v-twin engine that is rock solid making 98 horsepower with 71.5 ft/lbs of torque into a 6-speed transmission and a chain drive. It has switchable ABS. It is plenty fast and super fun to ride. It has a substantial fairing and handguards so it can be comfortable to ride in cold and rain. About this particular bikeI am the second owner and purchased the bike with 20K on it. It has been serviced regularly by authorized Aprilia dealers and performs as expected. It has never been crashed or laid down. I have had zero mechanical issues with it. It has the stock exhaust and is the desirable black color. I trust this bike to never let me down and have ridden it to the top of Mount Washington NH, Whiteface NY, Bailey Island, and Moosehead Lake, Maine. I took it to Finland when I lived there and did a 1800 mile trip to the top of Norway to Nordkapp, the origin of the Caponord name. Three weekends ago, I took my 76 year old Aunt on a ride to Rangeley, Maine. Needless to say, I have great confidence in the machine and trust it completely. ConditionI have taken great care of this bike and had it serviced regularly through Aprilia Authorized dealers. The 40K mile service was done on 1/22/2015. Tires are class leading Michelin Pilot Road 3 Trail tires, a 90/10 tire that is ultra grippy on tarmac and very good in the wet. They are in good shape and certainly will last through this season. Rear tire was replaced 7/2014 at 37,800mi. Brakes are great. Front and rear rotors and pads were replaced with OE original Brembos 3/2012 at 26,500mi. Pads have been changed since. Chain and cogs are in good shape and were replaced 7/2012 at 29,800 miles. Chain tension and lube are regularly checked. I just had the Vermont state inspection done on 8/26 and it is ready for another year of riding. Cosmetics: this bike is in great shape but it has been ridden and shows signs of use: There are a few minor scratches on the tank, some on the foot brake reservoir, some paint chipping on the clutch reservoir (as expected), some rust on spoke tips, a scratch on the left pannier (see photo), wear on left hand grip, wear on footpeg extensions, and minor wear on each pannier from aggressive cornering. Be sure to check the photos. UpgradesI have worked hard to make this bike my own and it comes with some great upgrades: $500 E52 Givi Box and attachment rack$500 Custom Saddlemen Adventure Track Seat$350 LED driving lights$200 Givi windshield and laminar lip (I also have the stock windshield)$550 Hepco and Becker frame guards$150 Heated grips with hazard light switch (the hazard switch does not work)$100 hard wired for a Garmin Zumo$75 K+N air filter$150 Marsee expandable tank bag All told, there are close to $2750 in upgrades here. Additionally, it also comes with 2 complete sets of keys, a battery tender plug in, deer whistles, red light changer magnet, blind spot mirrors, SOLAS reflective tape to make the bike super visible, and Aprilia valve caps. It also comes with a spare kickstand switch and headlight light bulb (two things to never be without). ServicingThe authorized Aprilia dealer Seacoast in NH will pick the bike up for servicing for only a fee of $20 each way. I used the service twice for my routine maintenance. They came to my house and loaded the bike in a Sprinter van, serviced the bike at the dealership in NH, and then returned it in the Sprinter. This makes owning the Caponord, even without a local dealer, very easy! TransportingI have a trailer and am willing to help with getting the bike to within three hours of Burlington, VT. Also, I live 10 minutes from the Burlington airport (BTV) and am happy to meet you there. Riding in Vermont is wonderful so you could make picking up your bike the start of a Northern New England road tour: Whiteface, NY is 2 hours away. Mount Washington is 2.5 hours. Bar Harbor Maine is 8 hours. Quebec City is 5 hours. Montreal is 2 hours. PricingKBB has this bike at $5015. Mid point of retail for NADA is $5700. Based on these prices, the clean maintenance history, and the upgrades, I have set a very reasonable price which I just lowered. Auction detailsTitle is in hand. This is available for pickup weeknights and weekends in South Burlington just minutes from the University Mall and I-89. Je parle francais si vous venez de Quebec. Merci! Please note the item is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. I do not have a "buy it now price". Please check my flawless seller rating and bid with confidence. Thanks for looking and good luck with the bidding! PAYMENT INFORMATION:I accept PAYPAL only as per eBay policy. If I do not receive payment within 10 days of auction close I will file a non-paying bidder notice. Non-paying bidders will be reported to Safe Harbor as per eBay policy. This item is being sold "as is" and is not able to be returned.

For sale is a beautiful 2013 Honda CB500F motorcycle with Anti-Lock Brakes. It currently has about 10,000 miles on it, and it WILL go up as I ride it every day. Well cared for, the brakes and chain will be good for another season, I'm sure, but the tires may need changing next season. Aftermarket parts include: Leo-Vince GP Corsa carbon-fiber exhaust (sounds amazing, has removable baffle) Ermax brand windscreen (hard to get in the US!) T-Rex frame sliders Green metallic paint job, black accent paint job on some bodywork, and black powder-coating on select parts of the frame. Matching Nobunaka rear-set pegs with extra replacement parts Matching adjustable brake/clutch levers Plastic rear-seat cowl and grab-handle covers Corbin brand saddle Green aftermarket mirrors (stock pictured) RAM brand cell-phone mount on the handlebar clamps Oxford heated grips Powerlet 12V plug on handlebars with USB adapter "Cramp-Buster" throttle pad Reflective green rim-stripes. Rear-Spool mounts for maintenance stand Attention getting LED license plate frame (programmable!) Connections for a battery-tender (but no battery-tender). Will also include a Harbor Freight maintenance stand and ALL factory parts that were removed! I don't own a car, this vehicle is my life and I treat it right! I'm the second owner, purchased it with around 5000 miles on it. Never been on the ground, no body damage to speak of (may be a mark here or there from road abuse like rocks and such), frequent oil changes and chain maintenance, always garage kept. This motorcycle is comfortable, nimble, light, and quick! Excellent for a beginner rider, or an experienced rider who doesn't want a sportbike but doesn't want a cruiser either. Very usable mid-range power. Not a speed demon, but not slow either. Excellent commuter or day-trip motorcycle. Asking $3500, and considering the amount of goodies on this it's well worth that! Selling because I am moving soon and don't want to deal with the cost of hauling it around. Just the same, if I can't get a reasonable offer on it I'll suck it up and drag it along after me! Lowballs will be ignored! I deal with CASH ONLY!

Powerful, light, nimble and compact, boaters know that its proven reliability is unmatched for everything from pontoons to flats boats to deep-V hulls. That record of performance spawned a remarkable family line that continues with the F175 and F200. Now, more boaters can enjoy Yamaha’s technologically advanced I-4 line than ever before.

The introduction of The Ness Signature Series in 2004 set a new standard for the factory custom. In 2005 Arlen and Cory Ness were let loose on the Victory Kingpin. Once again, the bar has been raised. It starts with standard Kingpin genetics. Big fenders. Inverted front fork. Freedom 92/5 V-Twin upgraded to 100 V-Twin in 2007. Comfortable ride; and an attitude from the other side of the tracks. But look deeper, and you’ll see this bike is a vision in Ness chrome and billet. Billet wheels, billet engine cover inserts and billet-style mirrors. You’ll also find a chrome swing-arm, chrome foot controls, chrome passenger peg supports, chrome axle brackets, chrome triple clamps and chrome switch housings. If the Nesses could make it shine, they did. There’s a radical “Purple Haze” color scheme that tells you this didn’t run through any ordinary paint booth. There’s a radius drag bar with braided stainless cables and a custom-stitched ostrich-pattern seat. It’s finished with a Ness logo EFI cover and Ness signature side cover. THIS BIKE HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO A STAGE 3 KIT INCLUDING: · New custom exhaust · K&N air filter · 100 Cubic inches (from 92) · Victory shorty windshield · Victory leather quick release saddle bags (shown in picture on right) · Victory engine guard with Ness highway pegs · Kurakyn black custom gel handgrips · Corbin Seat · Howard’s “tulip” air horn · Victory back seat rest and luggage rack · Custom tie downs, · Custom digital license plate cover (write your own scrolling message) · Two Victory small windshield bags · Chrome Victory front plate PRIVATE SALE - Excellent condition (roll bag pictured in photo not included). This bike has been well loved and taken care of – a bike customized for the experienced rider. BIKE MAY BE VIEWED AT OMEGA MOTORCYCLES: 660 Harbor Blvd, West Sacramento, CA 95691

1956 year M-72 w/ SIDECAR ( MILITARY USSR STYLE)PROFESIONALY RESTORED POWERFUL MILITARY BIKE! GERMAN STYLE HISTORY Everywhere you look, this bike screams 1939! Frame, sheet metal, wheels, handlebars, tractor seats, exhaust, 750cc engine, 4-speed transmission, the list goes on and on. The story of Ural&Dnepr begins late in 1939. A secret meeting was held in the Defense Ministry of the USSR. The matter under discussion, what model of motorcycles was going to be the most suitable for Soviet Armed Forces. Now despite the fact that planed was peacefully split between two dictators right after the Molotov/von Ribbentrop pact, the Soviet Union, to be more specific Joseph Stalin, know it would soon be going to war with Adolph Hitler, the ruthless dictator of the German Third Reich. Most recent historic research proves that Joseph Stalin being as much a ruthless dictator as Adolph Hitler himself, if not more, was planning on striking the Nazis first, Joseph Stalin ordered the military to prepare all areas of operation, including ground forces. During the same time period there was also, unknown to the majority of the world, tremendous growth in the Soviet Air Force that would enable the Soviet Army to strike the Nazis first with a devastating surprise attack. Having seen the effects of Blitzkrieg (lighting war) against Poland, upgrading of military vehicles was of dominant importance to Joseph Stalin. Official version reads, after long discussion the BMW R71 motorcycle was found the closest match to the specific requirements and five of these motorcycles were secretly acquired in Sweden. Everything about the bike was reverse engineering and in early 1941 the first trial samples of M-72 motorcycles were shown to Marshall Stalin and the decision was made to produce them. Unofficially, and a more likely story is that the BMW factory supplied the construction drawings and casting molds. Transfers in technology had taken place, as a result of the Molotov/Ribbentrop Pact, in support of their soviet friends in different areas. Soviet engineers toured the German aircraft factories and had brought back complete cannons as samples. The OPEL Kadett was given to the Soviets just prior to the war however, it commenced series production only toward the end of the war as the Moskvitch 400. In 1941, BMW began series production the R75, and did not resume production of the R71. After the WWII the Factory was further developed and in 1950 the 30,000th motorcycle was produced. Since then over 3.2 million motorcycles, mainly sidecar outfits have been produced. The history of the URAL had begun with the glory of helping to defeat the terror of Hitler's armies on the Russian and European battlefields. The URAL was built for the military only, up until the late 1950's when another plant in the Ukraine (Kiev Motorcycle Zavod - KMZ) took over that job with same model, but different name - DNEPR and the Irbit Motorcycle Zavod (IMZ) began to concentrate on making bikes for domestic consumption. Today both plants manufacture bikes for domestic as well as for military needs. You are looking excellent Motorcycle M-72 of 1956y with sidecar.
