A couple days ago I reported on last weekend “Legend Of The Motorcycle” event and the Bonhams & Butterfields auction of rare motorcycles at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Half Moon Bay, CA. Saturday May 3rd total auction reached close to 2 million dollars, and I am pretty sure you want to know which bikes got the highest bids from a pool of international collectors (calling themselves “Petrol Heads”). A one owner 1975 Ducati 750 SS in perfect condition sold for a whopping $117,000. A gas powered 1929 Harley JDH 74” sold for $67,860 while a 1918 Harlet bicycle was offered $4,050. A 1940 Indian Scout belonging to Mike Corbin and that he bought in 2000 from the Steve McQueen Estate sold for $52,650 Mike Corbin also sold a 1929 Indian-Crocker Conversion 45ci Overhead-Valve for $64,350. $65,500 was getting you a 1955 Black Knight Vincent 998cc, and $69,030 was paid for a 1993 MV Agusta Magni 861cc. Even a 2004 red, white and blue Harley-Davidson 88ci Heritage Softail from the collection of Evel Knievel, sold for $46,800.
