Very rare Rickman CR900!
This motorcycle was ordered new through Yamaha of Cleveland in 1977 and has had 1 owner its whole life. Originally it was fitted with a Turbo engine but that engine didn't even last 1,000 miles and a new engine was installed. I do have a set of uncut side covers that I will include in the sale, they are a slightly lighter
red though. The whole bike has 4,895 miles and was only ridden a few time a year up until 1994 when it was parked in the garage. Recently I have put in a new battery, changed the oil, cleaned the carburetors and flushed the brakes. The bike does run and ride but will need some more love before its roadworthy, the tires are from the 80's.
Clean title.

1971 Norton Commando 750cc Production Racer.
Its innovative vibration-beating Isolastic frame enabled the Commando to prolong the life of Norton's aging parallel twin. Launched in 1967, the model was an instant hit with the motorcycling public, being voted Motor Cycle News 'Machine of the Year' for five consecutive years. A true 'skunkworks'
project, the Production Racer was introduced for 1971 and hand-assembled at Norton race manager Peter Inchley's famous 'Long Shop, ' a hangar at the old Thruxton air base. A homologation special built for little more than one season to qualify for various 750cc road racing series, the street-legal 'Proddy Racer' was the fastest/quickest Commando made, capable of 130mph as delivered with a list price double that of standard Commandos.
Credit for the performance goes to the blueprinted engine, meticulously assembled with high-compression pistons, factory 3S racing camshaft, ported cylinder head, larger valves and polished internals, good for at least an additional 10bhp over an assembly-line
Commando. Handling likewise was improved upon thanks to test rider Peter Williams, also an excellent development engineer, who could simply throw open the hangar doors and commence to hot-lapping the adjacent Thruxton race circuit.
It certainly did the bike's credibility not one iota of harm when Williams and co-rider Charlie Sanby took a Production Racer to victory in the 1970 Thruxton 500 endurance race. Fork sliders and internals have been reworked for superior damping, while the swingarm bushing was totally revised, and the arm itself was lengthened. A 6-gallon gas tank replaces the standard Production Racer item.

1980 Harley-Davidson FLH Bobber.
This is a foot clutch, tank shift, no front brake, kick only bike which all equates to bad back A recent build with minimal âshakedown â miles on the rebuilt engine (clean/clear stamped vin numbers with matching cases. No broken fins. This is the tightest, leak free Shovel Iâve ever owned. Fuel is delivered
to the engine through a Prism Supply petbird to a new SS Super E carb. controlled by the Müller internal throttle. ) which is mated to a stock H-D four speed transmission with a new BDL 1-1/2â belt drive open primary. The 5 finger clutch hub and the new add-a-disc clutch plates deliver power to the black powder coated rear wheel with fresh rubber (matching the front wheel in size and diameter).
This is all sitting in a stock 1980 FLH tubular swingarm frame. The Wide Glide front end has shaved lower legs and has lowering springs installed. Iâm sure there âs more Iâm forgetting.

This bike is a true one owner bike (besides me) Sat in a barn since 1978.
Bike had been repainted beige (see photos) I took off all the sheet metal, got a galllon or goof off and started rubbing. A few days later I had all the original paint back! It was sanded before t was painted so there are some blemishes but it has a really cool look and
it âs a real deal original paint bike. I re wired most of the bike, new battery, rebuilt the carb, out some good year double whites on it. Bike starts runs and rides EXCELLENT. Only 8000 miles on the speedo and it âs got great compression. This is a REAL deal survivor.
Every part on this bike has been on it since new or added 50 years ago. You can hop on this bike and ride it, now! All he lights work, including the glass bullets on the back. Doesn ât leak oil except a few drops out of the primary. Engine is quiet, really a nice survivor bike. Clean title.

A 1974 Norton 850 SC Commando with 13,669 original miles.
A series of tasteful custom features adore this wonderful street bike. They include the following; Competition Fairing, Full instrumentation Package, Wickedly Beautiful Black Paint, Corbin Gun Fighter Seat, Carry On Tool Kit, Light Weight Front Fender, Back Dated Vented Front Drum Brake,
Custom Oil Lines, Twin Oil Coolers and the incredibly Rare Drouin Super Charger with Fuel Injection. The Drouin unit, Slide Throttle Fuel Injection unit and the Instrument Package were after market item that could have been purchased in the 1970's, through the Norton dealer.
The Drouin Super Charger and the Slide Throttle Fuel Injection unit are fully operational and produces amazing and quick 100 HP. The Fuel Injected Slide Throttle system was the very last iteration of the Drouin Super Charged series intake systems, therefore, being the most advanced and powerful. Upon riding this custom Norton there is sense of amazement in the additional torque and power that comes from the bike.
It runs properly and smoothly. The shifting in precise and positive. The brakes are quite ample in bringing this bike to a halt. The tire have some age on them, but are quite usable.
The fuel tank interior has been cleaned and sealed. Simple open the twin fuel pit birds to allow fuel to siphon to the fuel Infection unit, turn the key, give it a health twist of the duel activated throttle and she fires up on the second pump with a deep drum like sound and a faint whine of the Super Charger. Hang on and simply smile! She shuts down in standard fashion, with a flip of the key and twisting the fuel pit birds off. The rear fender has some small dimples and a little discoloring. There is some
very minor pitting on the wheels, a 1/8" hole that had been drilled through the front, between the forks.
Otherwise, this Norton 850 SC was shown recently at the prestigious " Riding Into History" Motorcycle show in May and was judged as a first runner up in the all Norton class, next to a very well known, twin engine Bonneville Norton. A spare Super Charger Drive Belt is included with the sale of the Norton, as well as an original Drouin Super Charger Manual.
