1978 Harley Davidson XLCR 1000 Racer
Lot #08 (Sale Order 8 of 70)
This is an excellent example of a rare bike designed by Willie Davidson. It was to compete in the newly created Café Racer Class, very successful already for Japanese and European manufacturers. It is sleek, appears fast and sinister, black on black. With its signature Siamese exhaust system, it performed well, with sub-13 second quarter mile times.

It runs and looks great. Included in the sale are the original factory service and shop manuals. In addition the seller has numerous spares, including a fuel tank and fender. Second owner since 1982 and has a bit over 14,000 miles on the odometer. It continues to draw a crowd wherever it goes.

1969 Norton P11
Lot #11 (Sale Order 10 of 70)
Instant Buy: $11,500 This late production model Norton P11 was built October/November 1968 but it is titled as a 1969 in California. This is a great running, very complete example of a late production P11. It appears to be a P11A but it is a Ranger 750 by serial number. This was the last variant in the P11 series that ceased production in November 1968. For every 22 Commando's there is only one P11, so they are actually very scarce, particularly in this condition. These P11s are now known as hybrids as they were made during AMC ownership of Norton and utilized the light weight racing frame of the Matchless G85CS, made of 531 Reynolds tubing (chromoly) and the mighty Atlas 750 engine and transmission.

1953 Indian Chief Roadmaster
Lot #16 (Sale Order 14 of 70)
Instant Buy: $40,000. Seller purchased in 1988 from an elderly gentleman in Ludlow, MA, near Springfield, home of the Indian Motorcycle Co. factory from 1901 until 1953. One of 300 Chiefs built the year they went out of business in May. This motorcycle shows signs of that “end.” When the company was failing, they would build bikes out of whatever parts they could find on the shelf as new manufacturing had all but stopped. Hence the dealer catalogs would show an Amal carburetor and handlebars just like those found on British bikes (with the choke “wheel” mounted on the bar), but not all bikes were made as such. Earlier Indians had larger differently shaped bars and Linkert carburetors. This bike has the latter with a “352” code on the carburetor meaning 3 for Chief and 52 for 1952. This was standard and correct for this bike. Another interesting feature is the small cutout on the lower left side of the rear fender. This shows that the motorcycle was used by a police department for the siren “rub wheel” would be pulled up to contact the rotating rear wheel and actuate the siren! If you are old enough, you may have had exactly the same kind of siren on your bicycle… This motorcycle was completely restored in 1989 and was entirely apart down to the frame on a milk box in the living room. Painted parts were sent out for paint and the engine went to Randy Zorn of Island Restorations in Long Island, NY. All other parts were rebuilt, rechromed, or replaced with original NOS parts, very good used or reproductions (such as tires, tubes, spokes, bearings, etc). Seller has pictures of himself on this bike in 1988 when bought with a funky paint job from an ad in New England’s Motorcyclist Post. Sold on a Bill of Sale/Alabama Registration. Fr#/Eng#CS61014

His streamliner subsequently made a victory tour of Triumph dealers around the world, while Edward Turner, the legendarily egotistical boss of Triumph, snatched the ‘Bonneville’ name for his newest model for 1959, the T120. Essentially a dual-carb version of the old T110, the ‘Bonnie’ had a host of other go-faster improvements, including the hot E3134 camshaft, and a stronger clutch to handle the power. The machine lived up to is ‘120’ designation, according to road tests of the day, and the legend of the model was established. With a winning combination of styling flair (courtesy the pencil of Mr. Turner himself), a reasonable price, and high performance, the Bonneville became a best seller and remains so to this day.
This 1961 T120R is among the last of the pre-unit construction Bonnies, which are considered the most collectible of all variants in the long production life of the model. It is certainly among the prettiest of the line as well, with its silver and sky-blue paint and ‘mouth organ’ tank badge. Beautifully executed renovation of this hallmark year model. A specialized design to meet the wishes of the all important U.S. market. 1961 was the year the Bonneville took off. Own a Jim Hiddleston meticulous restoration. Sold on a Bill of Sale/Import Papers.

Lot #42 (Sale Order 36 of 70)
**Please note: This motorcycle will not be onsite in Pebble Beach due to a shipping delay. Bidding will continue as usual.** In 1948 Harley Davidson was busy launching their now "famous" Panhead models, the F, FL, and FLH. There is not a lot of information about the 1948 U-series ("Big Fatty"). The Harley Davidson factory had anticipated producing 970 units in 1948. The actual number is unknown. The majority of these motorcycles were exported to South America with a few staying in North America for the sole purpose of fulfilling long standing police and government contracts that clearly specified the procurement of U, UL, or ULH models. A 1937 model EL (Knucklehead) was originally traded for this rare 1948 UL model motorcycle. It was restored by J.C. Burgin in 1995.

1967 Triumph Bonneville T120R
Lot #49 (Sale Order 42 of 70)
Instant Buy: $15,000. In 1956, Texan Johnny Allen built a fiberglass cigar around a 650cc T110 ‘Tiger’, and flew through the timing lights at Bonneville at 214 mph, claiming the World Motorcycle Speed record. His streamliner subsequently made a victory tour of Triumph dealers around the world, while Edward Turner, the legendarily egotistical boss of Triumph, snatched the ‘Bonneville’ name for his newest model for 1959, the T120. Essentially a dual-carb version of the old T110, the ‘Bonnie’ had a host of other go-faster improvements, including notably with the change to a power plant incorporating the gearbox and primary drive into a clean and streamlined unit. The chassis underwent big changes as well, with a duplex cradle frame giving better support to the swingarm pivot area, making the handling a little more secure. Brake sizes increased, and the styling evolved into a more compact and streamlined package, which we now think of as the ultimate Classic Bonneville.
American market T120s gained the ‘R’ suffix to denote the changes which management felt were needed abroad, which included the TR6 wheel sizes and higher-rise handlebars. All Bonnevilles have terrific performance for their day, and can be relied on for a fun and secure ride, with the added benefit of being a beautiful and highly desired machine.
