100cc of Social Displacement: 1939 Peugeot P52 Motorcycle

This next car...errr...two wheeler...comes from tipper Brad who writes: I thought you might dig this very interesting (presumably rare) little motorbike—although I cannot recall whether you are a cars-only outlet...This old cycle definitely deserves the label survivor, esp. considering it was produced in Europe just as WW2 was getting underway.  It seems like all the money is being asked but, as usual, where will you find another? Anyhow, what’s better for social distancing than a single-seater? There’s no room to haul bulk parcels of toilet paper, but they cannot be found anyway. Stay safe.  I couldn't have said it better myself -- thanks Brad!!  Find this 1939 Peugeot P52 Motorcycle offered for $3500 in Coatesville, PA via craigslist.

Rotary In The Sidecar: 2001 BMW Motorcycle with Sidecar

Motorcycles aren't exactly the safest mode of transportation...even small contact can have huge consequences (which is why people in 4 wheel vehicles should always give them plenty of room), but at least the motorcycle is small and maneuverable.  However, if you add a sidecar to a motorcycle, you still have the same crash exposure, but now lack maneuverability and agility of a normal bike, so its probably more dangerous...BUT...if you feel the thrill of danger beckoning you like a winged siren, you might want to consider upgrading to a turbo rotary powered motorcycle where the engine is in the back of the sidecar.  Find this 2001 BMW Motorcycle with Sidecar offered for $14,900 in Half Moon Bay, CA via craigslist. Tip from Kevin who found it on Bike-urious.

Two Wheel Tuesday: 1956 Indian Arrow Motorcycle

This next car comes as a tip from SecondMouse who writes: I suppose it takes an unusual find to make it into DT if the item in question isn't an automobile, but perhaps this will do. Here is a rare and excellent example of a 1956 Indian Arrow. Offered from a private collection with some good photography, this is a motorcycle for the discerning collector. For any who ride, like me, this will put a smile on your face. It is unlikely that you will see one of these again, outside of a museum. Find this 1956 Indian Arrow Motorcycle offered for $8000 in Houston, TX via craigslist.

The Future Was Here: 1984 Buick 10 Autocycle LiteStar

We were supposed to have flying cars by now.  Everyone promised it.  I've watched Blade Runner and Running Man many times (both were set in a 2019 future) and they showed all kinds of hovering and flying cars, but here I am and the closest thing is a LiteStar/Pulsar that was built in the 1980s.  If we could just convince these millennials to stop playing Fortnite and focus on engineering flying cars, I'd by floating around in the sky right now instead of hacking on a keyboard.  Find this 1984 Buick 10 Autocycle LiteStar offered for $22,500 in Gainesville, FL via hemmings. Tip from BP.

Three Wheel Mayhem: 1984 Pontiac Fiero Trike

The Pontiac Fiero is literally the Rodney Dangerfield of the car world- it get's no respect. In high school, the Fiero was voted the car most likely to be turned into something else.  DT has featured too many Fiero based replica Ferrari's or Lambo's to count, but today's feature goes into a completely different direction.  The back half of a Fiero has been mashed up with a Honda motorcycle front to create a bizarro trike that would look quite at home in Mad Max movie set.  Find this 1984 Pontiac Fiero for sale in Beloit, WI for $2,000 via Facebook Marketplace.  Tip from Eric.

Taco Tuesday: 1966 Bultaco Matador Mk2

One of the consequences of vehicles becoming so valuable that they become art is that if you used them for their primary purpose, you'd diminish their value.  This bike is beautifully turned out and is probably better than it was when it left Spain over 50 years ago.  However if you were to get it to run and rode it down some single track, you'd probably be out half of the asking price.  Sad, really.   Find this 1966 Bultaco Matador Mk2 Model 16 for sale in Olympia, WA for $7,950 via craigslist.

Big Wheels Keep On Turnin': 1987 Yamaha BW350

There are a lot of interesting ideas that manufacturers have come up with that didn't pan out littering Craigslist.  Back in the 80's, a few manufacturers thought that if big wheels worked on ATV's and Quad's, why not on two wheelers.  The results didn't exactly define a new category of motorbike.  Find this 1987 Yamaha BW350 for sale in Kirkland, WA for $3,600 via craigslist.

Little smoker: 1982 Honda MB5

In most states in the Union, any two wheeler with 50cc's or smaller can be ridden on the street without special endorsement. (although you might need special bravery pills).  Most things under that 50cc limit are either small scooters or things with a set of pedals in addition to an ICE.  However for one year in 1982 you could have walked into your friendly Honda dealer and bought something that you wouldn't be embarrassed to ride with a full face helmet.  Find this 1982 Honda MB5 for sale in Graham, WA for $2,300 via craigslist.

Rebel Without a Clue: 1954 AJS Model 20

If you own a rare classic for a number of years, you probably know a lot of details about it.  You have probably read the history books and period magazine articles about your bike.  From that you probably even know details about your bike in contemporary popular culture.  Like if a famous actor rode it in an iconic film (or not).  Find this 1954 AJS Model 20 for sale in Knik, AK for $7,910 via craigslist.

DT 5.0 Best 500cc Bike: 1971 Kawasaki H1 500

For the best 500cc bike I suppose I could have searched for some sort of race bike that had won numerous championships or something from the land of excitable people that gesture a lot with their hands, but I decided to go with "the triple with the ripple" from the two stoke nuts at Kawasaki.  Find this 1971 Kawasaki H1 500 for sale in Oceanside, CA currently bid to $5,100 on eBay with 3 days to go.  This post is part of DT's 5th Birthday Celebration.

Hardly: 1970 Harley Davidson M65 Sport

Buzzy Bee: 1972 Yamaha DS7

It's always nice when you find something old that has escaped the clutches of the modifiers and "ride it hard and put it away wet" types of owners.  That is especially cool when it is a one year only model of limited production.  Here's one that is celebrating it's 45th birthday this year.  Find this 1972 Yamaha DS7 for sale in Lake Stevens, WA for $2,200 via craigslist.

Ten-Hut!: 1941 Indian 741-b

World War 2 was an existential threat and as such, American industry went from making consumer goods to becoming the Arsenal of Democracy.  Factories were converted from civilian to military production and civilian products that had military use were re-designated.  Such as the Indian Scout which was re-designated as the model 741.  Find this 1941 Indian 741-b for sale in Iowa City, IA for $18,000 via craigslist.

Baby Arms: 1966 BSA Victor

When I say BSA you think of the quintessential post-war British motorcycle, the air-cooled vertical twin.  But, BSA also produced triples and singles as well as the little known 10 cylinder bike.  Find this 1966 BSA Victor for sale in Novato, CA for $5,000 via craigslist.

Shining Star: 1968 BSA Royal Star A 50

Didn't we fight a war here in the U.S. about 240 years ago against royalty?  Yet what was called the Star in its home country, was called the Royal Star here in the U.S.  I guess BSA didn't have a GeoPol department back in the 60's.  Find this 1968 BSA Royal Star A 50 for sale in Lebanon, OH for $4,900 via craigslist.
