The Market by Bonhams digital auction platform is set to launch across Europe in September, marking the latest expansion for one of the leading and fastest-growing online marketplaces for classic and collectible car and motorcycle auctions.

The Market by Bonhams EU launches for bids on Wednesday 8 September 2021, with the first sales closing on Wednesday 15 September 2021. It marks the latest development in Bonhams Motoring’s ‘always on’ motoring strategy which has a growing focus on daily online auctions.

Since its conception in 2016, The Market has become one of the most successful market offerings, combining traditional auction practices on an innovative, exciting digital platform. Delivering industry-leading expertise across the platform’s premier digital offering, The Market has a proven track record for delivering results, service and quality.

By expanding the platform internationally, The Market is meeting growing appetite and demand from buyers and sellers across Europe to reach a wider, more global audience.

Launching The Market by Bonhams internationally marks a natural progression following the success of the platform in the UK. In 2020, The Market sold £10.6m of hammer value over 640 auctions, while in this current year in the UK, it is working successfully towards a hammer value of £20m. The Market has also had a sale rate of more than 90% for the last four years.

In July 2021 the platform sold an ultra-rare metallic blue 1989 Ferrari F40, which had become a worldwide social media star, for a record-breaking £1,000,500, the first seven-figure result for an online platform in the UK and Europe.

Users worldwide will be able to benefit from using the same platform that has been successfully deployed in the UK, with the added enhancement of the platform being translated in to multiple languages.

All of the established benefits of The Market by Bonhams will be available as part of the launch. Buyers will ‘pay what they bid’ when using the platform, meaning there is no buyers’ commission. The Sellers’ Commission remains at 5% (+VAT). This is the lowest in the industry and means that vendors receive 94% of the vehicle’s sale price. The cars and their customers will be looked after by the same team that has been delivering 5-star TrustPilot service for the past five years.

Maarten ten Holder, Managing Director of Bonhams Motoring, said: “The Market by Bonhams’ success lies in its technology, transparency and client service. It is a natural progression for our Bonhams Motoring business to expand into Europe and provide this premier service to a wider audience. Our EU expansion marks a key milestone for our ‘always on’ approach.

“Prospective clients want to have choices when working with auctioneers and we are now able to provide these options, from live sales to online timed auctions and daily online sales via The Market. There is clearly an appetite from buyers and sellers for this service and the launch marks the next step in our motoring strategy.”

Tristan Judge, Director at The Market by Bonhams, said: “It has always been our ambition to reach a wider, more global audience, and launching The Market across Europe delivers that objective. We have a proven track record for delivering results, service and quality and we look forward to continuing this internationally.

“The platform has proved a resounding success since it was launched five years ago, and now the service is backed by Bonhams’ heritage and history, leveraging their established market position across Europe.”

“We have always had great interest from European buyers and sellers on The Market UK. Our left-hand drive cars were already popular with our European customers, so it is natural for us to expand fully across Europe.”

THE ALL-NEW ROYAL ENFIELD CLASSIC 350 – A LEGEND REBORN

America’s markets expected to launch the Classic 350 during the 2022 riding season.

Milwaukee, WI (Wednesday, September 1, 2021) – In its 120th year, Royal Enfield re-envisions its iconic motorcycle, the Classic, with the launch of the all-new Royal Enfield Classic 350. Completely redesigned from the ground up, the iconic Classic 350 motorcycle was launched in the Indian market today, and will be coming to American markets in the 2022 riding season.

The all-new Classic 350 adds yet another new chapter to Royal Enfield’s legacy of building authentic post-war-era British motorcycles that are loved by enthusiasts around the world. The design inspiration of the Classic range can be dated all the way back to 1948 with the groundbreaking Royal Enfield Model G2, the first to have swinging arm rear suspension on a full production motorcycle. As dependable as it was beautiful, the Model G2 served as a strong design inspiration for the hugely popular Classic 500 launched in 2008. The Classic 500 went on to help redefine the middleweight motorcycling space and was an integral part of the revival of Royal Enfield, up until the production of the dependable UCE 500 engine was stopped in 2020. Over a span of 12 years, more than 3 million Classic 500 motorcycles were produced, building an incredible legacy of its own—and now, the new Classic 350 is all set to take up the mantle and further build upon the legend.

Commenting on the launch of the all-new Royal Enfield Classic 350, Siddhartha Lal, Managing Director of Eicher Motors Ltd. said, “The Classic launched in 2008, was a modern and capable motorcycle that symbolized the timeless post-war styling from the heydays of the British motorcycle industry. Its captivating design language and simplicity coupled with dependability catapulted the Classic to global popularity, and it went on to redefine the middleweight (250-750cc) motorcycle segment.

“We’ve paid great attention to every aspect of the motorcycle, right from its stunning look, to the perfection in parts and the touchpoints, to its impeccable riding performance. The engine is super smooth, intuitively responsive and engaging, and has that gorgeous growl on acceleration. The all-new chassis lends enormous confidence while riding, with surefooted handling and agile braking. The motorcycle feels in control and well-mannered around tight corners. The motorcycle is, without a doubt, class-leading, and feels incredibly refined and enjoyable to ride.

“Throughout our history, we have been consistent in our pursuit to build timeless, beautiful motorcycles that are great fun to ride, and the new Classic 350 does just that. The all-new Classic 350 combines this quintessential, retro design with a modern and refined ride experience. We are confident that the all-new Classic 350 will once again redefine the midsize motorcycle space, globally.”

Powered by the modern 349cc air-/oil-cooled single-cylinder engine, launched recently on the Meteor 350, the all-new Classic 350 brings in a new level of comfort, smoothness, and refinement to the ride experience. Designed and developed by teams of designers and engineers based at Royal Enfield’s two state-of-the-art technology centers—in India and the UK—the Classic 350 is a product of true collaboration across continents. The all-new chassis is built for superior comfort and maneuverability—designed with improved strength, the chassis encourages more confidence at higher cornering speeds, and feels planted and stable on straight roads. The front and rear suspension has been extensively developed for more comfortable saddle time. With better ergonomics and more confident braking, the Classic feels agile and responsive, further enhancing the riding experience.

The new Classic 350 is set to arrive in North America during the 2022 riding season. Royal Enfield continues to release products dedicated to the midsize motorcycle segment, delivering more appealing and accessible options for riders of all ages and experience levels.

The Duesenberg of Motorcycles

The Crocker motorcycle has long been known as “The Holy Grail of Motorcycling” due to its rarity.

It also carries the nomenclature, “The Duesenberg of Motorcycles,” due to its hand built high-quality, and finally “America’s Superbike,” due to its performance. Three titles suggesting strongly that no other machine has reached such a high pinnacle of acclaim.

It also carries the nomenclature, “The Duesenberg of Motorcycles,” due to its hand built high-quality, and finally “America’s Superbike,” due to its performance. Three titles suggesting strongly that no other machine has reached such a high pinnacle of acclaim.

From 1896 – WWI, 200+ different motorcycle manufacturers existed in America, so how can only one brand accomplish this? This Crocker enthusiast, owner and rider can personally attest to its validity. To understand why one must first immerse themselves in the history of Albert Henry Crocker to begin to understand how this legacy came to exist.

Young Al Crocker was a very early participant in the fledgling moto-cycle industry in the preteen years of 1907-1909 where he raced moto-cycles manufactured by Aurora Automatic Machine Company, Aurora Illinois (Chicago area). Aurora Automatic Machine manufactured components for many of the earliest manufacturers of the day. They built frame forgings, castings, pedal cranks, wheels and motors.

When George Hendee and Oscar Hedstrom, Hendee Manufacturing, started building Indian Moto-Cycles in 1901, the components were all from Aurora. By 1906 Hedstrom Indian started building their own engine plant and Aurora then offered their own moto-cycle under the Thor brand. Al Crocker raced these Thor’s and was extremely hard to beat. So hard that Indian offered him a contract to race for them. Crocker simply declined and entered college to become an engineer.

After college Indian pursued Crocker knowing he was visionary, and that he knew how machines should be built to withstand the rigors of riding with no roads and increasingly higher speeds. Crocker loathed the idea of working in a controlled corporate environment so Indian offered him an Indian dealership in Denver in 1919 to keep him close to their brand.

Crocker later moved to Dodge City Kansas and operated a dealership there until moving back to California in 1928 to open an Indian dealership at 1346 Venice Boulevard. Throughout his Indian career he constantly tinkered, designed and built his own new ideas into working realities. Crocker was even distracted by Harley-Davidson for a brief period, hiring him to help them get back into the winner’s circle.

In 1931 Crocker finally focused on building his own Speedway motorcycle first utilizing an Indian 45 ci motor and later his own 500 cc single overhead valve design. He built approximately 40 such units before focusing on a road machine.

In 1936 Crocker unveiled Crocker #1X. It was a single front down tube rigid frame of his own design with an integral transmission forging that allowed the transmission to be bolted in place from two sides, with the engine also being a stress member, thusly creating a far more rigid driveline.

The single spring front forks, later twin spring forks, and motor were also of his proprietary design. The motor was a 45-degree, V-Twin with a bore of 3 ¼-inch and stroke of 3 5/8 inches utilizing thick cast iron walled cylinders and aluminum hemispherical heads. The cylinders were cast this thick to allow customers to order their machine from 61 ci. (1,000 cc) to as large as 72 ci. (1180 cc).

It is believed that between 17 and 25 of these original hemi-heads were built along with an additional 25 motors. The hemi-head motor produced 54 hp at 5,800 rpm. The aluminum hemi head however was short lived as the head bolt pattern created a torque cracking problem from the immense heat transmitted upward from the enormous cast iron cylinders. Crocker then designed the later vertical valve heads utilizing both lifter rods enclosed in one nickel plated tube per cylinder.

The world was forever changed as Crocker custom hand-built 70 machines from 1936-1942. Crocker told his buyers, “If anyone got beat by a stock Harley or Indian, he would buy the motorcycle back.” He was never forced to honor that claim.

“The Crocker was handcrafted in very limited numbers, exhibited superb performance, is a work of art in terms of design and is as stunning today to view as it was in 1936,” said Chuck Vernon, author Crocker Registry.

Each wheelbase was between 57 and 62 inches, with 59 inches being the most typical, the frame was low slung with a seating height of only 27 inches, and along with the cast aluminum gas tanks these machines looked fast standing still.

The period from 1936 –1942 was economically tough in America and for any business coming out of the Great Depression. Only very few consumers could save much money to spend on recreation. Crocker offered his buyers choices of paint color, engine size and offered additional parts polished or even chrome plated. Buyers were far more interested in performance than appearance, so most Crockers were somewhat understated with cadmium plating and only a few polished parts, chrome handlebars and a chrome exhaust system.

This writer and Crocker owner can personally attest to the high level of design and finish of these machines.

“They are simply beautiful to view in every detail throughout, but until one steps on the kicker and brings one to life, does one truly understand the brilliance and intense focus of Al Crocker,” said Don Whalen, founder of Sierra Madre Motorcycle Company.

The first 15 machines sported Brookland’s style mufflers and then Crocker designed his own more-free flowing unit with his own fishtail cut design.

At idle the machines are smooth and quiet. When rolling on the throttle a very distinctive bark arrives and under full throttle the resonance is authoritative and angry in tone– The very sound that each Harley and Indian rider heard when losing a race to any Crocker.

By 1942 WWII was growing and the small team of 7 people at Crocker found themselves not able to obtain necessary raw materials to machine and fabricate motorcycles any longer. At this time Crocker switched his tiny Venice Blvd. machine shop to building parts for the war effort.

The Last Crocker, #42-61-310 was assembled and sold without fanfare. So how does the last Crocker built sport a #310 serial number when only 70 total machines were built? Al Crocker had no interest whatsoever in ever being a production motorcycle company, but he also wanted to create the illusion that he had built far more than 70 machines. Thusly he was well known for skipping large sequential sets of numbers on his machines. Number 310 is fully documented by The Crocker Registry as The Last Crocker.

It unbelievably left the Venice Blvd factory and remained very close to its birthplace its entire life. “When I purchased it, it was located less than 100 miles away,” said Steve Klein.

Ernie Skelton is credited with keeping Crocker’s legacy alive for more than 30 years when it likely would have slipped into obscurity. Crocker #310 was owned by Skelton and later Gordon Clark. Both Skelton and Clark each owned numerous Crocker’s as one could buy them in the ‘60s and ‘70s for $1,000 – $1,500. Today Crocker’s demand very high values as only 47 complete machines are documented and 41 are documented as being in running condition. Their values have steadily climbed to this day.

In 2014 Crocker #310 rolled into Steve Huntzinger’s shop for a full restoration. The machine was as complete as it left the factory. The frame was beautiful and untouched. Huntzinger stated the motor and transmission were in terrific condition for its age and he simply re-honed the cylinders while rebuilding the engine. The last set of Crocker factory footboard rubbers and handgrips were used.

Even the 4.00 x 18-inch tires are NOS (new old stock) 1942 Firestone Chevron pattern. The only new parts utilized in the restoration were four tall head bolts that Huntzinger had to machine since the original ones showed too much pitting.

The handlebars were made new, the front brake cable is remanufactured and of course the spark plugs are new. The Messenger seat rides on Al Crocker’s “cantilevered” seat bracket and pulls on two springs located horizontally inside the top rear frame section, instead of two compression springs as found below most solo saddles. The Crocker Registry states that only six machines received Crocker’s new seat bracket.

The scalloped paint job in White and Midnight Blue (almost black) is stunning. Huntzinger is well known as a premier restorationist, and his level of detail is never less than utterly amazing.

Recently I put oil and gas in #310. I set the choke full on, gave it two good prime kicks and backed the choke off two notches. I could tell that the machine was no longer a 61 ci. displacement. It kicked more like a 74. I turned the key on and when my foot hit the floor on the first kick, she roared to life and settled into a strong, yet quiet idle.

While getting settled in the saddle one’s mind wishes to quickly remind oneself that you are about to ride a $1M machine. I instead closed my eyes and pictured myself in the early 1940s in Southern California going out for an evening ride. I pictured the cars and hot rods that must have been on the road, the drive-ins and movie theatres and then I let out the heel-to-go clutch. The Last Crocker certainly did not disappoint.

Its heartbeat is indeed very strong, and its soul is undeniably of race pedigree. The machine rides smooth with its longer wheelbase and low seating style. It likes to corner hard and pulls like a train down straightaways. Mind you, I am only adding another 10 miles to the existing 14.9 on the brass Corbin speedometer, and high rpms were never attempted. With each mile the grin on my face and the warmth in my heart grew.

“To study the history of these great machines is very enjoyable. To visually study any Crocker in person is a rare event to be cherished. But to start and ride one is something that very few people in history have ever experienced. Thank you, Al Crocker, for your vision, persistence seeking perfection and contribution to The Wonderful Sport of Motorcycling,” said Steve Klein

All attendees of the annual Sturgis Rally have burst into flame and perished in shrieking hollering agony due to the Delta Dawn Variant of the Jerrycolona Virus that came from the Wu Tan Clan laboratory in the Testosterone Valley of China Smith via Dan Duryea.

Motorcycles went flying helter-skelter, spinning through the air and slamming into the clouds as the Corona viruses interacted with the carbon footprints being left on the ground creating a globally warmed mutated variant of the varianted doppleganged dissimilar new variable of the Panda-Created Bat Pandemic Death Contagion causing tree ignition explosions due to 90 degree air temperatures, destroying all the forests of the earth and in nearby towns.

Vast clouds of Covid dust filled the air causing mutated cases of new cases. Cases also were reported of other cases caused by caseness. Viruses enlarged to visible size and shaped like leopards were reported to be carrying children up into trees, setting them down onto branches and snarlingly eating them, many while still screaming for their parents, all of whom were already dead from the Corona Beer Variant Anomaly Case Count Variable Inversion Layer Ozone Depletion Icemelt.

Bodies now line the streets and some are falling from the skies. Black clouds of Corona Daytona Delta Dawn viruses are seen rising from the corpses and spreading across the hot planet and killing all but me and all others like me who duly report on such matters.

Bikinied and Daisy Duked women who were, prior to having been torn to shreds by Corona Leopards, sensually trying the elicit heterosexual responses from the males in violation of the Rainbow Protocols, could be seen expressing regret that they ignored the Stay Safe Mandates by
not wearing masks, helmets, and Delta-Defying suits of armor now being distributed by President Biden, Governor Newsom and Matt Damon, currently in the penalty box for saying a word currently on the Forbidden Vocabulary Data Sheet.

The very planet sprouted tubes of virology that rose up from the terrain and ascended into the clouds, the Earth itself now being transformed into a 24,000 mile in diameter Corona Melanoma Oo La Paloma Blanca Virus and now thus as a result posing a threat to the entire solar system thus requiring an end to
the space program until further notice.

All rockets are under lockdown safety mandates until further notice. Meanwhile all my efforts and all the efforts of my fellow saintly and filled-with-holiness journalists and reporters and sources and according-to’s who tried vainly to encourage the ruffian hordes of uncaring disease-spreaders and highly immoral self-absorbed fun seekers concerned only with their own needs and not the needs of the planet or its inhabitants in Gondwanaland….to obey the rules….were met with laughter and derision and comments ranging from “You gotta be kidding” to “Fuck you and the cunt-faced crossdresser who gave you birth and from whose cock you suckled until your Aids infected balls dissolved into syphillitic ass-nodes. Prick.”

This was uttered a lot and with increasing ire depending on the degree of repetition. Overweight loud and boisterous flu dispensers called “bikers” jammed together shoulder to shoulder, drinking beer, slapping Daisy-Duked womens’ asses in violation of the womens’ fragile emotional nature not to mention the violation of their near-naked buttocks, and using vocabulary clearly forbidden by the Supreme Court, the Constitution, the UN Restriction Revisions and Assembly Bill 5520966470118359177 and generally not wearing masks.

While videoing one encounter I was subjected to the following litany of abuse by some grey-bearded tattooed very loud red-faced load of suet about the size of a Nazi shoreline concrete gun emplacement who, if I might quote, shouted while laughing at the same time “Listen you slimy little semen drinking eel, take your fucking stay safe protocols and your aids-infected tonsils out of the fucking way of my face or I’ll take your covid-fearing transgendered gonads and spread them across an anvil. Yes, I’ll wear gloves, and sledge hammer them into tapioca which I will
then feed to your boyfriend via a tube up his ass. Ok?”

This is what we’re up against as soldiers of safety to a hurting planet. I agreed to his demands, incidentally. In case you were wondering. Clearly nothing is going to stop this annual assault upon the safety of humanity until the day motorcycles are declared enemies of the People.

Motorcycles seem to be the one unifying element of this horde of whatever they even are. Take those away you take away their vaulting selfish immoral need to imperil the empowerment of the We’re All In This Together corralment of renegade individuality into compliant and environmentally-safe unity.

When a motorcycle model stays popular over the decades, it’s not a good idea to mess with it too much. Honda knows what makes the Africa Twin and Africa Twin Adventure Sports such crowd-pleasers, so it makes sure to only introduce enough upgrades to improve what’s lacking and give the bikes a fresh look.

Honda introduced the XRV650 Africa Twin in Europe more than three decades ago. What we now know as the Africa Twin is actually a “brand-new motorcycle from the wheels up,” which was launched in 2016, keeping the original version’s popular characteristics. According to Honda, this athletic-looking bike, with a comfortable chassis, proved to be a versatile riding option, from daily commutes to weekend adventures.

In 2018, the manual transmission and Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) versions of the Africa Twin were upgraded with a Throttle by Wire (TBW) control and three riding modes, extended torque control options, and benefited from improved engine response and sound. That same year, the Africa Twin Adventure Sports for off-road riding was introduced, with features such as greater range, longer-travel suspension, and upgraded wind protection.

At the beginning of this year, the CRF1100L Africa Twin was “comprehensively redrawn” for a more aggressive, compact look, while the CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports benefited from enhanced technology, including the Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment option.

For 2022, the Africa Twin is equipped with an aluminum rear carrier as standard, while the Adventure Sports model features a new 5-stage adjustable screen that is 4.3” (110 mm) lower, for improved visibility, without decreasing weather protection. Also, both DCT versions feature new settings that are meant to make handling in the first two gears even smoother.

In terms of looks, both models are updated with vibrant graphics. The 2022 Africa Twin boasts black aluminum side covers with a red rear subframe and ‘Big Logo’ graphics. The 2022 Africa Twin Adventure Sports is equally striking, with ‘Cracked Terrain’ graphics.

There are countless customized Harley-Davidson motorcycles out there, spread across almost a century and the many bike families the Milwaukee company has been making. But if there’s one bike that could probably be worthy of more exposure on the custom motorcycle scene, then that’s the Dyna.

Born in the 1990s as a new platform for the Evolution engine, the family was around for about two decades, being pushed aside in 2018 when the new line of Softails came onto the scene.

So yes, we’re talking about a rather new machine, and that could explain why shops are not all that crazy about it yet. Then again, the V-Rods are rather new as well, and we get plenty of those, especially from over in Europe, so who knows.

If there is one shop that likes Dynas more than others, that’s Bad Land. Coming from the Land of the Rising Sun, Japan, Bad Land is one of the most active custom motorcycle garages on the market.

The Dyna you’re looking at now was shown back in 2019. It’s official name is Hermosa x dios, and it has nothing to do Spain. The name was probably chosen for impact, given how hermosa is Spanish for beautiful, and dios stands for god.

The bike is radically different from stock, and you get a sense of that as soon as it comes into view. There’s a huge 21-inch tire up front, wearing a slim tire, and a tiny-by-comparison 15-inch one at the rear, though wearing a massive 230 wide tire that makes all the difference between the two irrelevant.

Put together with the same attention to detail Bad Land has gotten us used to by now, the Dyna packs a wealth of other custom parts, including a new fork, headlight, front fender, fuel tank, rear fender, exhaust, swingarm, and seat, all created in the Japanese shop.

Bad Land does not say how much the Harley-Davidson Hermosa x dios cost to make.
