A fun game....

Always loved the DR Big! :thumbup
The red/white is particularly fetching ...

The same guy also designed my K75s and
the first-gen Katana, I think ...

... someone once told me
the crank in the DR Big spins
in the opposite direction that
the DR650 spins ... :dunno

The famous Gaston Rahier (RIP), pics of whom people post in
"think-that-bikes-too-tall for me?" threads ... :laughing
May be an '89 DR Big Dakar pic ...

1929 Monet & Goyon 250 French Motorcycle - $12999

Powered by a Villiers 250 2 stroke and backed up by a tank shifted 3 speed, it will go for days.
Purchased at the Mecum Auction in Las Vegas, in 2017, and brought back to operable condition here in New Jersey.
Once languishing in an Australian museum, this cute little French bike needs to be ridden and enjoyed by someone that can appreciate the quirkiness of a true vintage motorcycle.
Converted to LED bulbs in case you find yourself out after dark, and wired with a brake light for safety. All the added electrics can be removed easily to bring it back to original.
The bike will be started for you to prove that it runs.

... in East Brunswick, New Jersey ... :ride

In 1916 Joseph Monet and Adrien Goyon commenced the manufacture of un-powered tricycles for disabled servicemen injured in The Great War, an activity they would maintain until 1939. The Macon-based company built its first powered two-wheeler around 1919 when it obtained rights to the Wall Autowheel, a self-contained, motorised wheel that attached to a bicycle. In 1922 Monet-Goyon obtained the licence for the manufacture of a 269cc Villiers two-stroke engine and from then onwards the French firm would be one of Villiers' best customers in Continental Europe. Four-stroke models powered by Swiss MAG engines, built under license, were added to the range in 1925.

... will keep you in mind as a vintage bike scout ... arty

Killinger und Freund built in 1935 in Munich, Germany ...
this machine has a driven front wheel ...
underneath that huge front fender is the engine itself.
The motor is a sizeable 600 cc two-stroke triple—or perhaps
three one-cylinder engines joined together.
Yet the bike was reportedly very light, at just 135 kg.

... very cool pic of the front wheel here:

1973 Kawasaki Z1 900 ... $9000

Very nice bike, runs great, shifts good, motor runs smooth
and quiet, I was told by the previous owner that the top end
was redone at around 28000 miles, but he had no receipts for it,
I had the valve cover off and it looked like new.
All the electrical works good, new gel battery.

... in central New Jersey ... arty
