Friday Auction Fun!

Post by KungFooBob »

It's the last couple of days of the Mecum Las Vegas bike auctions...

This is tomorrows lot listing...

https://www.mecum.com/auctions/las-vega ... les/01/29/

If you had unlimited cash to bid one one of them, what are you having?

(you can look at the previous days if you like).

I'll have this one...

Probably kill me if I ever tried to ride it.

Triumph X75 Hurricane for me

I know it's a styling exercise that's worse than the original Trident/Rocket in almost every way, but those stacked exhausts...

"Very rare, only known example in Nevada"

I think they can probably widen that net a bit.

I'll take this one,only because I had one the same colour in the mid 70s. They are wrong,though,it's a Z1A.

This is as cool as they come,so I'll win this one too.

Love the exposed kickstart gears. the tank mounted speedo with a big thick drive from the rear wheel and best of all, I've never seen a motorcycle with a dizzy cap before!

Frame number is Z1A ( I looked it up, I'm not a total anorak )
