Mecum motorcycle auction in Vegas

[cyclingday]

OG Whizzers are where it's at.
Like their motorcycle brethren, 99.9% of them have been badly restored, more times than not.
So finding a nice old original one is getting harder to do.
It will be interesting to see how that original one fares, compared to the ones that have been restored.

I will never understand the whizzer restoration mentality that seems so pervasive...
Spend all this money on paint work, motor ...then put a ridiculous cheap @ss seat on it,
and a cheapo front brake ...I'm thinking 1 out of 100 whizzer restorations are maybe accurate...
Oops wrong sprocket too...

Fail!

and I'm sure it's being presented as 100 pointer blah blah blah...

I particularly like the OG motor cables.

1986 Honda Z50RD Special.

Small kids bike given to dealers on Christmas as some sort of special went for $10200. Top 10 in the day out of 250+

Before posting these pics I decided I would only post the best looking ones. Then I realized i was clicking every single one so im just gonna post them all. Too nice to leave some of them out.

My favorite of all was that flying merkel in the first pictures.
