Favorite Motorcycle Auctions of 2025

About this episode

Alex and Tyler discuss their favorite motorcycle auctions and top bikes from the previous year.

Last year was, almost inarguably, our best year ever for motorcycle auctions. This week on the podcast, Alex and Tyler discuss each of their top 10 bikes of the year. Along the way, they touch on a public transport admission; daily and weekly firsts; the care taken to design parts that will always be visible; their favorite exhaust systems; scaring horses off roads a century ago; the difficulty in modernizing the Harley-Davidson; left-hand throttles and Colt Pythons; Bimota and Harley trivia; odd partnerships and engine configurations; and a great run of big pre-war, air-cooled fours.
