I forgot to comment on Knievel's CR500 , but that seemed like a fair price .
Hopefully it goes to a good museum exhibit.
Would be really cool if they put one of Evel's bikes with it and had house of wax figures of them both with the bikes.

Wow, that's beautiful. I remember when that bike was on the cover of every dirt bike magazine in the world.

My buddy (who’s a member here) has one of those. I’ll have to text him and alert him to this thread.

I couldn’t believe it went that high it wasn’t evel kinevel it was Robby . Not that he didn’t do great jumps but his dad was really the man

Riding one of these is on my bucket list, but it is dead last on the list. Not because I want to ride one less than I want to do the other things on my bucket list, but because I assume once I get on one of these things I won't live long enough to address any remaining items on the list.

I have never own a "dial - a - wheelie" dirt bike, and have always wanted one.

I have street bikes that would, but they are bit insane.

I grew up on dirt bikes, First one was a 74 honda Elsinore. Gave up riding when I hit 45. Now at 62 thinking about getting back into it. Grandson just bought one of the electric bikes. It has settings 10,20,30,40,50,60 and 80 hp. I rode it at 50 and that was impressive. He said at 80 it is just about unrideable. Just can't get into no sound, all you hear is the chain. no clutch or shifter.
He also bought a 350 husky 4 stoke. I love that bike. Electric start is great. Traction control and 3 different tunes. I think he said it has 48hp.
I had to laugh when he said wow you can still ride.

When I was vintage road racing it was always so strange seeing an 80 year old guy hobbling around the pits, then get on a bike and it's like high speed ballet.
