The Weird Lane
WEIRD BIKES
The stuff the market didn’t know what to do with. Two-strokes, triples, homologation leftovers, weird one-off dirtbikes, turbos, and machines with excellent bad ideas baked in.
1993 Yamaha GTS1000
The 1993 Yamaha GTS1000 was so far ahead of its time that the motorcycle world didn't quite know what to do with it. James Parker's RADD hub-center steering, fuel injection, ABS, and a 102-horsepower Genesis inline-four made this one of the most technologically ambitious motorcycles of the '90s. Unfortunately, all that innovation came with a price tag that scared off buyers who preferred conventional forks and familiar engineering. With just 5,038 miles, this largely original example is a reminder that Yamaha was willing to take some serious risks back when motorcycle manufacturers still thought outside the box.
35-Years-Owned 1940 Harley-Davidson WLD Sport Solo
The WLD's hotter 45ci flathead was Harley's answer to performance in 1940—three decades of single-ownership proves this isn't some flip, it's a keeper. If you understand why the WL line matters to American motorcycle history and want a documented survivor that never chased trends, this is the real deal.
1982 HONDA CX500 Turbo
Honda's turbo CX500—the bike everyone forgot existed—is suddenly relevant again as collectors realize it was the company's weirdest shaft-drive experiment, complete with a liquid-cooled parallel-twin and boost at 7,200 bucks with fresh brakes and full service. If you want to own the oddball that proves Honda would try literally anything in the '80s, this is your move.
EX-Bandito, 1954 Harley-Davidson 74
This ex-outlaw 1954 Harley 74" FL bobber carries actual road miles and real history—the kind of provenance that can't be faked or added in a garage. At $27.5K, you're getting genuine patina and a bike that earned its scars, not some sanitized restoration that forgot what made these things matter.
