10 1915 Cyclone – $551,200
A brand that built exclusively racing motorcycles, these beautiful yellow (according to statnekov.com, they also came in blue) motorcycles had an in-house-designed bevel-driven OHC 996cc V-Twin. From what I’ve read on the website mentioned before, the Cyclone motorcycle was introduced in 1914, and debuted in Stockton, California to a roaring success, so much so that fans just about tore the bike up for souvenirs!
The next year wasn’t so great, though.
Mechanical problems prohibited the Cyclone motorcycles in the long-distance races (Venice, California, and Dodge City). After multiple breakdowns, the Cyclone was abandoned as it proved too expensive to work on, leaving this pristine example as a testament to the history and story of the Cyclone racing bike.
