    ***1981 Yamaha XS1100 Midnight Special (1 of only 250 ever made!)***                                                                        Fall Special-Low reserve!   For sale is this awesome Yamaha XS 1100 Midnight Special.  If you are unaware of how rare these actually are, you should probably do some research before you bid.  This is one of only 500 ever, and one of only 250 for 1981!   Not only one of the rarest production Yamahas ever, one of the rarest production early Super-bikes as well---EVER!!!  Based on the company's big XS1100 sport-tourer introduced in the late 1970s, the 1981 Yamaha 1100 Midnight Special motorcycle differs from other Super-Bikes of the era in having a traditional Japanese inline four-cylinder engine rather than the trendy V-twin.  It also featured shaft drive, likewise carried over from the XS.  While an extended fork, teardrop tank, and stepped saddle made it clear this was a cruiser, the double-overhead-cam four-cylinder engine gave it powerful performance unmatched by contemporary V-twins.  95 BHP and a blistering 112 MPH quarter mile time!

Steve McQueen’s Von Dutch Customized Bikes to be Auctioned Tomorrow

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Here’s an opportunity to own motorcycles associated with Steve McQueen and Von Dutch - need we say more? Get your credit cards out because tomorrow, January 9, 2014, will see a 1923 Indian Big Chief with Princess Sidecar owned by McQueen and fully restored by Von Dutch put on the auction block at the Bonhams Las Vegas Motorcycle Auction. Previously sold at the Steve McQueen Estate Sale in Las Vegas in 1984, the 74cu (1200cc) Indian is “capable of reaching speeds of 90mph.” If McQueen’s coolness factor isn’t enough, having the notoriety of Von Dutch’s restoration is the icing on the cake.
