Then two rings - Ring One - motorcycle parts, related, and everything else. Ring Two - Marble Collection Lot 100 - 1935 Coventry-Eagle Silent Superb This Coventry-Eagle “Silent Superb” is very original and very cute. • 150 CC two-stroke single-cylinder • Hand-shift 3-speed transmission • Nice Miller headlight • Paint weak • Luggage rack • 3 mufflers included (large cast w/ 2 fishtails) • Piston ring missing • Missing carb mount tube • Carb float bowl damaged • Cases welded • Incorrect taillight, seat, footpegs • No title Lot 101 - 1941 Indian Four Cylinder Model 441 • Matching numbers—complete motorcycle with engine out of frame • Ran great, but engine was removed and disassembled to correct low oil pressure • No cracks or welds in crankcase • Original stock muffler • Magneto bike • Fenders in good condition • Front fork shroud partially removed for de-chroming • Two luggage racks included • Good title Lot 102 - 1941 Indian Sport Scout Model 641 This is a great bike that needs a few parts, a little paint and some Indian love. • Matching numbers on frame and engine • Rolling basket case with engine and trans • Reportedly off the road since 1966 • Rebuilt speedometer • NOS handlebars • Cylinder head fins restored • Both left and right tanks in good condition • Front fork in good condition • Front fender and 2 rear fenders included • Included: stroker motor kit (Harley Davidson Sportster 1000 connecting rods and crank pin to adapt to Indian flywheel) • No exhaust system • No title Lot 103 - 1945? (pre-1947) BSA M20 Classic Military 500 This unmolested survivor is very solid. • 500 CC one-cylinder 12-hp • Side valve • Girder front fork • Has speedometer • Olive green military paint (dull) • Luggage racks • Probably does not have matching numbers • Ancient tires • No title Lot 104 - 1947 Gilera Saturno Sport This Saturno is a rare sporting example that ran great until is lost its spark, which may be due to slipped timing. Be sure to check out its very interesting rear suspension design. • 500 CC single-cylinder • Guy Webster restoration • Excellent compression • Believe it has matching numbers • Incorrect muffler • Front wheel chrome has some problems • Good title Lot 105 - 1948 Indian Chief Model 348 If you like the polished engine cases all you need to do is build the wheels, add some paint, assemble your Chief, and ride •Matching numbers on frame and engine •Completely disassembled except engine and trans •Disassembled to correct erroneously polished engine cases •Engine was in good running condition when bike was disassembled •Original front fender plus reproduction front and rear fenders included •Buyer can choose repro black or repro chrome rims (unchosen set to be auctioned separately) •Good title Lot 105A - 1949 Indian Scout • Indian vertical rigid frame and front forks only • No title Lot 106 - 1951 Sunbeam S-7 •500 CC two-cylinder •Long-term basket case, but carefully organized and stored •Very complete, except for missing toolbox •Included new rear-end gears •Good title Lot 107 - 1952 Vincent Series “C” Rapide Current owner purchased this Vincent Rapide with non-matching numbers in 1972, sold it in 1974, and repurchased it in 1985 after a new bottom end was installed. It is likely that this Vincent Rapide was enhanced with Black Shadow parts before it made the journey from England to the US. Crankcase will require drain-plug helicoil before riding. Front brake balance-beam adjuster is stripped. The front wheel has one Shadow front drum and one Rapide rear drum—a quality new front Shadow drum is included to complete the Rapide-to-Shadow brake conversion. Also included, a set of NOS AM4 brake linings. Probably needs a new wiring harness, but runs with current wiring harness and magneto.Horn will require disassembly and adjustment to be operational. Front tire OK, but ancient rear tire requires replacement. All the hard work has been done. After a few mechanical touches and a new rear tire, this Vincent will be a great ride for its next owner. BTW, this bike’s name is Gladstone. •1,000 CC two-cylinder •Excellent motor, 9:1 compression pistons (0.020 oversize) •Black Lightning cams (not too hairy for the street—idles well) •Amal 930 carbs •Low-restriction Burgess muffler •Alpha main bearings installed approximately 2,500 miles ago •Eddie Stevens crankcase breathers work great •Black Shadow cylinder heads have new valves, guides, bushings, and springs. All cylinder-head work performed by Mike Urschel of Chicago 250 miles ago •V3 clutch installed •Non-original Triumph headlight currently installed on bike •Correct Miller headlight bucket (minus lens), switch, and a new ammeter included •Non-stock stainless steel fenders on bike •Stock-appearance home-made seat by Burt Wiesz of Windsor, Ont. with strong stainless steel base •Due to backfiring, new exhaust port gaskets will be needed before running •Good title Lot 108 - 1955 BSA C10L Very rare—not many of these bikes survived the abuse by the youths who owned them. This BSA was adult-owned. This is a very cute BSA. •250 CC single-cylinder 8-hp •Side valve •3-speed transmission •3,500 miles fron new •Original paint except rear fender •Some chrome weak •50 mph top speed •Leaky petcock •Motor sump plate requires helicoils •Incorrect front brake cable •Original tires (front tube is bad) •Good title Lot 109 - 1955 Moto-Confort Scooter The original Swiss owner imported this rare Moto-Confort scooter in 1960, but parked it in 1967 rather than submit to the compulsory helmet law. The current (second) owner of this scooter acquired it in 2005. Its top speed was claimed to be 43 mph. •125 CC two-stroke single-cylinder •Ugly paint •Unique front luggage rack •Two solo seats •Taillight extends from tail-mounted spare tire •Good title Lot 110 - 1956 Panther Model 100 This Panther has actually been ridden on the Isle of Man. A big, heavy, stable road bike, the strong engine will propel it at 5 mph solo or while dragging a dead horse. With a good shining, this would be a beautiful addition to any British motorcycle collection. •600 CC single-cylinder •Twin exhaust port •Chronometric speedometer •Thousand-mile Solo saddle installed •Original dual seat included •Swing-arm model •Owned since 1990 •Motor and gearbox worked when parked in ‘90s •Tool box from left side missing •No title but English logbook included Lot 111 - 1957 BMW R60 This R60 offers way more than you need to begin restoration—needs more labor than parts to make a nice classic BMW. This unmolested survivor is very solid. •600 CC •Number 118 off the line •Basket case •Believe crank redone •Nice sheet metal •Big Seat •Steel wheels •Non-original exhaust •Good title Lot 112 - 1958 NSU Lux •200 CC two-stroke single-cylinder •Motor turns over; has compression •Gearbox shifts •Brakes operational •Believed to have original paint •Weak chrome •Very complete •Good title Lot - 113 1958 Zundapp Challenger This rare Zundapp is a real survivor; most of them were trashed by the youths who wished they could have a bigger bike. •200 CC two-stroke single-cylinder •Motor turns over; has compression •Gearbox shifts •Brakes operational •Repainted red tank and rims •Nice cast alloy taillight assembly •Good title Lot 114 - 196? Triumph Bonneville •650 CC two-cylinder •Bare frame, swing-arm, and motor only •Chromed cylinder barrel •Non-matching numbers •Have not attempted to turn over motor or select gears •No title Lot 115 - 1963 Norton Atlas 750 This Norton requires a complete restoration. •750 CC two-cylinder •Matching numbers •Motor out and disassembled •Chronometric speedometer in headlight •No mufflers •Good title Lot 116 - 1962 BMW R27 This is a beautiful example of BMW’s final single. Known as a classy, quiet, and extremely civilized motorcycle, only about 900 examples were manufactured during this model year, making it a rare BMW, indeed. On one of their shows, the American Pickers paid $8,000 for an R27 not as nice as this one. Note: This R27 ran great after a fresh top-end job, but then the timing chain got very noisy. The bike should not be started until the included new timing chain and new tensioner are installed. •250CC single-cylinder •Original paint (except rear of frame) •Completely stock •Solo seat •USA handlebars •Alloy wheel rims •New big alloy oil pan •New motor-mount rubbers •Around 18K miles •Charging system not working •Does not use oil •Good title Lot 117 - 1962 Matchless G80S This cherry Matchless is an incredible find. •500 CC single-cylinder •Less than 3,000 miles since new •Original black paint, tires, cables, etc. •Runs sweetly as only a factory motor can •Everything works •Very quiet •Valenced fenders •Small tear in seat •Good title—retitled in 1971 as “Michigan assembled” Lot 118 - 1964 BMW R50/2 The current owner has ridden this motorcycle at least 50 miles every year since 1980. It has been the soul of reliability—it just will not quit. Even though not all its parts are correct, they all work well together, if not the most powerful R50/2 on the block. Thebike starts on first or second kick. The name of this bike is Moose because the Hoske tank and USA bars give him a big-shoulders, wide antlers look. •500 CC two-cylinder •7-gallon Hoske gas tank •2 Karcoma petcocks •Full toolkit •Cast alloy oil pan •USA handlebars •Chrome aircleaner •Chrome footpegs •Magnetic drain plugs •Alloy wheel rims •Solo seat •Pre-1955 headlight lens •Custom crankcase breather •MCM mufflers •27/8 rear gear is perfect for the road •Mostly original paint is a bit weak •Normal drive train sound (engine, clutch, transmission, rear gears) •Motor tired, but willing •Speedometer not original but believe 80K mileage is close to accurate •Good title Lot 119 - 1964 Harley-Davidson Sprint The Norton gas tank mounting legs were cut off by previous owner so it would be difficult to again mount it on a Norton. Current owner decorated it with the “Bicentennial Sportster” look. Ran (with a bit of smoke) when parked due to a broken chain adjuster—it needs a small weld in order to properly locate the rear wheel.• 250 CC single-cylinder •Norton N-15 gas tank and headlight •Triumph 500 muffler •Funky handlebar mount •Good title Lot 120 - 1964/1965 BSA A65D Lightning [sold together with 1965 BSA A65D below] •650 CC two-cylinder •Missing barrel and cylinder head removed long ago •Included cylinder and head could go on either A65D •Included tank could go on either A65D •Seat appears to be 1964 vintage •No title Lot 120 - 1965 BSA A65D Lightning [sold together with 1964/1965 BSA A65D] •650 CC two cylinder •Missing barrel and cylinder head removed long ago •Included cylinder and head could go on either A65D •Included tank could go on either A65D •Seat appears to be 1965 vintage •No title Lot 121 - 1965 Honda Hawk •250 CC two-cylinder •Engine turns over; has compression; gears select •Ace handlebars •Odometer displays a believable 3,200 miles •Missing tank and seat •Incorrect mufflers Lot 122 - 1965 Marusho Magnum The Japanese Marusho Magnum is sort of a cross between a BMW R50 and a Honda Super Hawk. No BMW collector should be without one. •No title •500 CC opposed two-cylinder •Blown right head gasket (BMW gasket-compatible) •Unique 4-speed transmission (neutral at top) •Even more unique yellow 3rd-gear indicator light •Chrome weak •Original mufflers have tips trimmed off •Shaft drive •Telescopic front forks •Battery-and-coil ignition Lot 123 - 1965 Velocette Venom Absolutely solid machine with Norton Atlas fenders since 1972. These fenders have been on too long to change. This bike has not been used since 1981. The 1965 model offers improved oiling. With minor work (clutch adjustment and minor fettling), you will have one mellow Velo. •500 CC single-cylinder •Correct gas tank, but missing trim and emblems •Speedometer/odometer calibrated in kilometers •Classic Velocette black and gold paint •Thruxton exhaust pipe •Included refurbished magneto requires installation •Believed to be mechanically sound •Extra new wiring harness included •Extra new seat included •Extra handlebars included •Good title Lot 124 - 1966 (or 1967) Triumph T100C 500 •500 CC two-cylinder •Rolling basket case •Missing exhaust and other items •Non-matching numbers •No title Lot 125 - 1966? BSA B25 •250 CC single-cylinder •No tank •Non-matching numbers •Poor condition •No title Lot 126 - 1967 Norton Atlas 750 This Norton Atlas roller is fairly complete but needs restoration •750 CC two-cylinder •Matching numbers •Good title Lot 127 - 1967 Norton P11 750 This P11 would be a very easy restoration candidate. •750 CC two-cylinder •Disassembled to paint and repair oil tank •Matchless hubs •Motor turns over and gearbox shifts •No rear fender or taillight •Matching numbers •Good title Lot 128 - 1967 Norton P11 750 This P11 Norton is completely disassembled, but it offers plenty to start with. •750 CC two-cylinder •Basket-case: motor out of frame and disassembled •Includes Matchless hubs •No exhaust •No seat •No taillight •Good title Lot 129 - 1968 Norton P11 750 Due to its tires and lightened configuration, this Norton P11 appears to have been raced. It would be a good candidate for restoration. •750 CC two-cylinder •Motor stuck •Amal concentric carbs •Matchless hubs •Big knobby tires •No fenders, headlight, or instruments •Good title Lot 130 - 1969 BMW R60/2 •600 CC •Rolling mess that was in a fire, then stripped and neglected •Includes frame, front forks, transmission, and rear end •No gas tank •No generator •No auto-advance unit •No cylinders, heads, or carbs •Good title Lot 131 - 1969 BSA A50 Royal Star BSA 500 Twins, while just as pretty as the 650s, are very underrated. They perform well and have good longevity. The 500 and 650 engines are the same except for the bigger bore/pistons of the 650.
