Words: Charlie Thomas
Whilst we’re a big fan of new motorcycles such as the Midual Type 1 and the Confederate Hellcat Speedster, sometimes you just can’t beat vintage. Riding a classic motorcycle is a feeling like no other, providing she’s well-kept that is and these bikes are just that. Here are 3 classic motorcycles for sale you’ll wish you owned.
ROYAL ENFIELD BULLET 350
This beauty has been completely restored from the ground up, meaning it’s virtually brand new. Whilst it is in good enough condition to win virtually any concourse event, it would be a great shame if its new owner didn’t ride it. The bodywork is stunning, complete with a cream and green colour-way that pairs beautifully with the tan leather accents. It’s the ultimate cruiser.

BMW R100 RS RHCC SCRAMBLER
For those looking for something more rugged yet equally well-finished, this BMW R100 should fit the bill. Its tasteful modifications include an aftermarket handlebar, Pro Grip fork covers, Motogadget speedometer and a custom exhaust, which allows the 1000cc engine to really sing.

HARLEY DAVIDSON CAFE RACER ‘JUNIOR #5’
This fully-custom Sportster is somewhat of a beast. It’s been re-built by an ex-Suzuki race team engineer and includes a number of modifications including uprated cams, plugs and cylinder heads, a 1200cc conversion, progressive suspension and a bespoke exhaust system.
