1894 ROPER STEAM MOTORCYCLE
One of the World’s Oldest Motorcycles
Sylvester Roper of Roxbury, Massachusetts, may have been the first American auto manufacturer. He built
at least 10 self-propelled vehicles between 1860 and 1895. Remarkably, two of them were steam-powered
motorcycles, and both survive. One is in the Smithsonian Institution, and the other, from a private collection,
is the example presented here.
Roper pursued a career as a machinist and inventor, creating, among other things, sewing and knitting
machines, hot air furnaces and ranges. His fame has been hindered by the fact that he sold, rented or gave
his various vehicles to others. This motorcycle, his last vehicle, boasts a remarkable provenance from 1894 and
is classified as one of the world’s oldest, predating early examples produced by Orient, Indian and HarleyDavidson. Following Roper’s passing in 1896, it was sold by one of his heirs to a Long Island museum, and
after moving through a series of other museums, formed part of two prominent private collections. Today,
presented in its original stove black livery, it is offered in Las Vegas for the first time at a public sale.

1899 De Dion-Bouton
Three-Wheeler
This is THE ancestor, the motorcycle equivalent of Lucy on the African plains. Ninety-five percent of all motorcycles ever built are powered by direct descendants of the powerplant
of this turn-of-the-century antique from France.
Count de Dion financed engineers Bouton and Trépardoux, who developed three-and four-wheeled vehicles propelled by an internal combustion engines. The De Dion was the first reliable
gas powered motor vehicle on the market, and its popularity made the De Dion company the largest automobile manufacturer in the world at the dawn of the Twentieth Century.
The De Dion-Bouton company also sold air-cooled internal combustion engines to people who wanted to build their own vehicles, and these engines were quickly adapted to motorcycles.
Imported to the United States as early as 1896, they were closely studied by the gearheads of the day. Both the first Indian and Harley-Davidson engines, while not exact copies, were built
using the same general design and engineering principles. De Dion-Bouton also developed a carburetor that was a vast improvement over the makeshift mixers of the day.
This complete and documented 1899 model was brought to the United States in the 1920s by Vincent Bendix, who was interested in studying its innovative front brake. Bendix developed
the modern automobile brake from his study of this little trike, making it not only the Lucy of the motorcycle world, but the missing link of automobile brake development.

1910 YALE SINGLE
1911 SEARS SINGLE
1911 WAGNER SINGLE
This Yale is a direct descendant of the 1903 California that
completed the first transcontinental motorcycle ride. This late
1910 model has a horizontal top frame tube that distinguishes
it from earlier 1910 models. In addition to the outside flywheel,
the unusual powerplant’s final drive is via chain over a rear
wheel pulley. The exemplary restoration is by well-known
restorer Mike Parti.
Yes, Virginia, Sears Roebuck and Company did indeed sell
motorcycles. The motors were built by the F. W. Spacke
Company, and similar bikes were sold under the De Luxe,
Dayton and Eagle brand names. Imagine the excitement in a
small farming town when one of these was delivered by rail to
a lucky owner, who soon would be riding around on the first
motorcycle in the county.
This motorcycle, built in Minneapolis, is one of several
early makes that routed the exhaust into the frame. Other
innovations of this belt-drive inlet-over-exhaust two-wheeler
were the curved intake routing and the low, triangulated frame.
Early frames could be quite tall, and the lower seat height was
an important selling point.

THE FLYING MERKEL
A
Funny name, huh? The name was no joke to contemporary competitors. Flying Merkels were contenders in all types of early racing.
One of the first bikes manufactured with a loop frame and a telescopic fork, Merkels were well made, fast machines. Many Harley
riders bolted Merkel front ends to their Harley racers to improve the handling. Sadly, Merkel production ended in 1915.

1913 EXCELSIOR SINGLE
1913 EXCELSIOR TWIN
1913 HENDERSON
Beautiful example of a Glenn Bator restoration from an alloriginal single-cylinder motorcycle. Restored for a prominent
East Coast collector approximately five years ago. All nickel and
paint restored to the original finish, full mechanical rebuild and
currently set up for static display.
Excelsior twin beautifully restored with all the bells and
whistles!! Period correct accessories such as acetylene head
and tail light with Prest-O-Lite bottle, Claxon horn, Troxel
seat and rare Excelsior floorboards. A real showpiece!
This striking four cylinder machine, built the second year of
Henderson production, was very advanced for its time. This
58.9 cubic inch four-cylinder machine starts with a hand crank,
like an antique automobile. Although it only has one speed,
it does have a clutch – an uncommon feature on bikes of the
period. The long frame allows space for footboards and dual
pedals for the rear brake.

1917 HENDERSON FOUR-CYLINDER
BOARD TRACK RACER
Estimate: $75,000 - $95,000
Designed by William Henderson, Hendersons were
technologically advanced for their time, sewing machine
smooth and very good looking. Improvements in the design in
1916 and 1917 allowed Henderson riders to smash numerous
long-distance records. This bike, put together by star vintage
expert Chris Matthews, is set up as a period board track racer
with correct Forest Green paint.

A strong runner, thanks in part to the Schebler adjustable
carburetor, this motorcycle has only been ridden a hundred
miles since restoration. This motorcycle also features 19-inch
Coker Diamond tread tires, and much safer tear drop
center rims.
An older restoration, the paint is still very nice; however, the
nickel is showing some age-related wear as it was replaced with
NOS parts during the restoration.

1913 POPE
1916 POPE
From the now-legendary Bud Ekins’ collection. Restored by Bud back in the 1990s and recently
freshened up by Ted Tine Motorsports of Chester, Connecticut. This motorcycle is in very good
condition and a great runner. Originally built by the Pope Manufacturing Company of Westfield,
Massachusetts, it was known as the Model L and sold for $250 when new.
This Pope motorcycle is an excellent example of American invention and ingenuity. The American
Cycle Manufacturing Company started out building bicycles, but became involved in motorcycle
production in 1902. In 1911, the company reorganized as Pope, with its manufacturing plant
in Westfield, Massachusetts. The 1912 Pope was the first V-twin built by a major manufacturer
to sport overhead valves. Most motorcycles built during this time had inlet over exhaust top
ends, and many still had “automatic” intake valves, which tended to stick. This 1916 model has
the overhead-valve setup, and a three-speed sliding gear transmission, an option for that year.
Lighting is supplied by an acetylene lamp, a common option in the days before reliable electrics
for motor vehicles.
Estimate: $95,000 - $120,000
Estimate: $175,000 - $200,000
Not only does this bike have more efficient overhead valves, it also has plunger rear suspension.
This feature was unique for motorcycles of this time, most of which had no rear suspension at all.
The next American bike to feature rear suspension was the 1940 Indian.

1926 CLEVELAND FOWLER
High Quality, Well-Preserved Restoration Believed to be Sole Complete Example
Cleveland joined the motorcycle-manufacturing business in 1915 with two-stroke, single-cylinder engines, which carried on for nearly
a decade. In 1925, a new smooth-running 600cc four-cylinder, four-stroke engine designed by F.E. Fowler appeared. A three-speed
transmission, an improved clutch and chain drive were used, with the transmission mounting the ignition magneto. The engine was
mounted to the frame above the crankcase, blessing the “Fowler Four” with a very low center of gravity. Despite its promise, just 100
examples were built before a new 750cc bike appeared.
ESTIMATE UPON REQUEST
This motorcycle was acquired by a prominent private collector in 2007, having previously formed part of the famed Chandler Vintage
Museum of Transportation and Wildlife in Oxnard, California. At the time of its sale, it was purported to have formerly belonged to
Steve McQueen, who purchased it at a swap meet in 1977. McQueen evidently left the motorcycle to his friend, legendary racer and
stuntman Bud Ekins, who performed the motorcycle jump sequence in The Great Escape. Ekins then apparently sold it to Richard Morris
in 1986, who commissioned its restoration, before it went to Otis Chandler and finally to the private collector. Auctions America by RM
does not have conclusive proof of McQueen’s ownership, though the short ownership history from Ekins to Chandler certainly adds a
great deal of credibility to the bike’s provenance. A high-quality and well-preserved restoration in like-new condition, it is believed to be
the sole complete example remaining today.
CLEVELAND MOTORCYCLES
1929 CLEVELAND TORNADO
1929 CLEVELAND TORNADO
Restored by Jerry DeMille with a full engine rebuild by Mike Parti. The Cleveland Manufacturing
Company produced lightweight two-stroke motorcycles early on and later developed its
four-cylinder motorcycles from 1926 until their demise in 1929 due to the Stock Market Crash
of the same year. The Cleveland is the rarest and most desirable of all American- built fourcylinder motorcycles due to its short production run as well as its superior engine design and
dependability. Very few examples were produced and even less survive today.
A must-have for any collection or museum!
This 61 cubic inch Four deserves to be better known. Cleveland started by building wellregarded two-stroke lightweights, but turned to building in line Fours in 1926. Designed by
engineer Everett DeLong, the Cleveland Four was well designed, powerful and easy to maintain.
Top speed was near 100 mph, much faster than most contemporary road machines.
Estimate: $120,000 - $145,000
Estimate: $160,000 - $195,000

1928 BROUGH SUPERIOR SS 100
Dunlop Rubber Company Fortieth Anniversary Motorcycle
Engine: KTORC71727ST Frame: 764 (original frame: 956)
Considered the most desirable Brough Superior model, this SS 100 is powered by its original 980cc, short-stroke V-twin engine. Purchased new by the Dunlop Rubber Company to
commemorate its 40th anniversary. Originally fitted with a sidecar, the combination was used for tire testing and publicity. Longtime Brough Superior registrar, Mike Leatherdale verified the
Dunlop provenance. In 1946, it was fitted with a Brough replacement frame, wartime service having been too stressful for the original. This SS 100 retained the replacement frame until 2001,
when it received a ground-up restoration and complete mechanical rebuild with a 1928 Brough works frame. The original Dunlop JAP engine was completely rebuilt and fitted to a works
frame. Recently, the engine was disassembled and found to be in excellent condition. All the finishes present as quite fresh. Brough Superior works record cards are available to provide
continuous histories of the stated frame and engine. The machine is period authentic. All plated surfaces are nickel, and a new nickel-plated petrol tank was fabricated to the original style.
Included with the machine are a U.S. title, Brough tool kit, period Dunlop memorabilia and manuals. Please be advised that the machine, having been off the road for two years, will require
recommissioning by a specialist familiar with JAP total-loss oiling systems and Lucas magnetos. Vintage Brough Superiors with provenance are scarce.

THE VINCENT
The Vincent twin was the fastest roadgoing motorcycle of its day. It incorporated numerous innovative features, such as the cantilevered frame
with dual shocks under the seat, the engine as a stressed frame member, and the Girdraulic front suspension. One of the few bikes of the early
’50s that can be regularly ridden on contemporary roads, a Vincent radiates power and charisma.

1902 WHITLEY
“The Whitley of Coventry”
Whitley of Cow Lane, Coventry, was owned by Walter Hubbard and produced motorcycles in Coventry from 1902 to 1905. This firm built its own
engines, some of which were water-cooled and which hung from the down tube of their motorcycles and sidecars. To help with engine cooling,
the latter was fitted with air scoops. With belt drive and braced forks, it was a primitive design. The company appears to have closed in 1910, but
in 1919 the Whitley Manufacturing Company was formed and may be connected.
The bike being offered over the block is an original-paint example and the only one known to exist today. It is believed to be a 1902 model,
although the Sunbeam Motor Cycle Club Pioneer Register Certificate #1837 dates the motorcycle as a 1904.

Cotton Motorcycle History
The Cotton Motorcycle Company was a British manufacturer founded by Frank Willoughby Cotton in 1918. Also a trained lawyer, he remained
at the company’s helm until his retirement in 1953. At that time, the company was restructured as E. Cotton (Motorcycles) Ltd, and remained in
business until its closure in 1980.
Utilizing experience gained in hill climbs and trials, a “triangulated” frame design was patented and this became a feature on Cotton motorcycles
until World War II. Cotton’s first motorcycle was built in 1920. Soon after, this brand was the bike to own and ride due to success that had come in
multiple victories at the famous Isle of Man Tourist Trophy.
An extensive line of motorcycles was developed over the years. Despite competitive racing bikes and a range of road, trials and scrambler
models, the loss of engine supplier Villiers was compounded by the influx and popularity of the mass-produced Japanese bikes of the 1970s.
The reputation earned through superb road holding and racing was not enough to keep the doors open, and the company closed in 1980.

THE CHRISTIANSEN COLLECTION
Find Christiansen was an avid collector of all things automotive. In addition to an impressive series of classic cars, his private museum housed a vast array of memorabilia and the eight motorcycles
offered here, carefully amassed over a 20-year period. Find’s interest in motorcycles started at an early age and centered on motorcycles from his youth. Both the Francis-Barnett and the NSU
Moped are extremely original examples. The remaining six motorcycles have been subject to professional, no-expense-spared restorations. While they are completely new mechanically, they were
finished as museum display pieces and, as such, have not been actively run in recent years.

1986 DUCATI 750cc F1-B
One of the Hottest Italian Sport Bikes on the Road or Track
When enthusiasts asked for a roadgoing version of Ducati race bike, the 750
F1-A was introduced in 1985, followed the next year by the “B” version offered
here. The F1-B boosted performance and is the epitome of Ducati’s racingbred efforts from the company’s early resurgence in the 1980s. This fabulous
bike is essentially a factory-made, low-production racing motorcycle with
added lights and turn signals for road use.
F1s are rapidly appreciating, period superbikes…and a production run of less
than 2,000 machines helps to confirm this status. Very few bikes draw as much
attention or sheer awe as the F1.
This Ducati 750 F1-B is in excellent, original condition with only 2,851
kilometers showing on the clock. Museum quality, finished in classic red, white
and green Italian tri-colors. Expertly maintained and ridden sparingly only to
keep the motor exercised and in good running order. An excellent motorcycle
to exercise on the open road or for lapping at vintage track events.

1957 CAPRIOLO SPORT
1947 GILERA SATURNO
A beautifully restored 75cc Sport. Capriolo was the motorcycle division of the aircraft
manufacturer Caproni. The Capriolo Sport 75 was equipped with telescopic front forks, stamped
metal dual-cradle chassis, dual rear shocks and aluminum alloy wheels. By 1958, Capriolo
was marketed under the Aeromere (Regional Mechanical Air) name, sold as the Capriolo 100
Turismo, Capriolo 125, and Caproni Vizzola Cavilux and Cavimax which used a 247cc NSU motor.
An exceptional example of post war Italian engineering, the Gilera Saturno is a 500cc single
cylinder racing machine producing approximately 35hp. The bike was far more advanced than
its competition in many ways displaying superior techniques in smooth alloy case castings, unit
construction transmission and engine, patented vertical sprung torsion arm rear suspension, and
a full front brake.

1917 HARLEY-DAVIDSON F MAGNETO
Amazing Time Machine Condition
Mid-1917 saw the introduction of Harley-Davidson’s “military drab” color, sometimes called Olive Drab, marking an end to the famous
“Gray Fellow” after many years. This Model F is presumed to have been a mid- or late-year production due to its olive green color on
the crankcase and transmission.
Originally built in Milwaukee and sold to a motorcycle dealer in Sydney, Australia, it has withstood the test of time and remained an alloriginal, complete motorcycle.
This “time machine” Model F retains many original details: Harley-Davidson decals on the gas tank, original factory paint, original Troxel
seat, original pinstriping on forks and rims, patent decal on the steering neck, and leather-wrapped cables. It is also equipped with the
rear brake hand lever option. After 95 years it remains effortless to start and runs and rides very well with everything in working order.

1934 HARLEY-DAVIDSON SERVI-CAR
1940 HARLEY-DAVIDSON UL FLATHEAD
With time-honored tradition of careful evolution and refinement
of its products, Harley-Davidson created what experts and
enthusiasts agree to be its first modern motorcycle - the JDCB.
Immediately recognizable by its streamlined fuel tank, the JDCB
set the dominant styling and design theme for virtually all future
Harley-Davidson models.
45 cubic inch V-Twin and three-speed transmission. Classic
1930s style with beautiful red and silver paint scheme. Fully
restored and ready for your business name and logo to be
added to the rear box for promotional use, or for that Sunday
ride down to the grocery store! A great conversation piece and
also a highlight for any collection.
Power for this period correct “Cut Down” comes from the
legendary 74 cubic inch, big twin engine. The Flathead design
proved to be so reliable that Harley-Davidson was able to utilize
it for forty five years, from 1928 until 1973. Also known as a
“Bobber,” this example was completely rebuilt to recall the
classic 1960’s style by Jurassic Racing. This motorcycle has a
12 volt alternator charging system.
Estimate: $35,000 - $45,000
This exceptional 1925 Harley-Davidson JDCB is one of very few
surviving, all original, unmolested, unaltered examples.
AMCA judged at the Perkiomen meet in April 2003 as a 96.75
accurate and correct machine, this JDCB is one of the best
examples of an early Harley-Davidson to be found. Rarely does
such an untouched example become available.

ART LITTLEJOHN ESTATE
Art Littlejohn has been a part of the Southern California classic motorcycle scene long before the motorcycles in his private
collection were ever considered true classics! Focusing on the famous Triumph and Matchless street motorcycles and the Montesa dirt track racers, with a
smattering of Bultacos and Harley Sprint racers, Art rode, raced, restored and collected these rare beauties starting in the early 1960s until his last lap under the flag earlier
this year. Art was the owner of the L&M Motorcycle Shop in Santa Barbara, California, in the early 1970s and broke in many greenhorns who later became master mechanics
such as John Ireland and Kirk Sloan, both now highly regarded in the motorcycle field. Art also dabbled with the Bonneville salt flat races, as he was in the process of building
a Triumph Trident three-cylinder racer to go out and challenge the record books. Besides the Triumph street bikes, we uncovered a collection of museum-quality Triumph TT
Specials with top-quality restorations performed on many in his lineup.

1907 INDIAN 21/4 HORSEPOWER
This unrestored Indian motorcycle was built six years after the first bikes from Springfield, Massachusetts, were displayed to an appreciative public.
Designed by Oscar Hedstrom and built in a factory owned by George Hendee, a former bicycle racing-champion-turned-entrepreneur, early Indians
featured chain drive, a sturdy diamond frame, and long handlebars. Adding to its rarity, this bike features Indian’s production racing tank. Most
Indians of this era had a “camelback” gas tank over the rear fender.
The Hedstrom motor was one of the most powerful and reliable available at the time. In the early days, Indians just like this one won enduros, flat
track races and road events with regularity. T. K. Hastings won the 1907 Thousand Miles Trial in England on a twin manufactured the same year as
this find. He was the first American rider to compete on an American bike in a British event.

Estimate: $120,000 - $135,000
Well-known sportbike manufacturer Ducati has always been deeply immersed in motorcycle
roadracing, and its premier engineer, Fabio Taglioni, was a talented designer of fast
motorcycles. In the 1950s, Ing. Taglioni developed an overhead-cam lightweight with
desmodromic valves that became the bike to beat in international lightweight racing. Later
versions of this bike came with double overhead cams. Many of the world’s top riders rode a
Ducati lightweight at some point in their careers.
All of Ducati’s single-cylinder racers are beautiful, with sculpted tanks, a rounded cylinder head
and interestingly designed brakes. A racebike like this is rarely seen and extremely valuable. Walter Villa was one of the most famous GP racers of the 1960s and 1970s. Winning four
GP titles in the 250 and 350 classes in 1974, 1975 and 1976. It is believed that this 250 is
his personal mount, based on an inspection by his brother. Both the engine and frame have
significant differences from other motorcycles built by Ducati.
