Stored For Years: 1974 Rickman Montesa 250VR

Modified Mailster? 1957 Cushman 780 Truckster

This one is a bit of a head-scratcher as the model number is 780-26, which relates to a 1957 Cushman Mailster, but let’s refer to it as a 1957 Cushman Truckster for now. The seller has it listed here… more»

Displayed Since New: 1969 Indian MM5A Mini Mini

Small Survivor: 1974 Harley-Davidson X-90

We’ve seen a few Aermacchi Harley-Davidson matchups here on Barn Finds over the years, from the era when companies were experimenting with anything and everything. It doesn’t seem like there’s a lot of experimenting going on now, everything is… more»

Rare Barn Find! Two-Stroke Parilla Olimpia Motorcycle

Original Allstate DeLuxe: 1963 Sears Allstate 175

JDM Pivoting Scooter: 2000 Honda Gyro UP

Barn Find: 1960s Bridgestone 175 Dual Twin

I don’t know how it’s possible, but we’ve only seen four Bridgestone motorcycles here on Barn Finds over the last 11 years. For such an interesting brand, that’s nutso. The seller has this late-1960s Bridgestone 175 Dual Twin posted… more»

Good Price? 1968 Honda CB77 Super Hawk 305
