The most expensive bike in their catalog is a 1939 BMW RS 255 Kompressor Classic that should fetch between US$500,000 and US$600,000. Steve McQueen's 1970 Husqvarna 400 is also up for bid. There's also a 1975 Norton 850cc Commando Roadster belonging to Eddy Lawson.
Further more there's plenty of engines, and other bits & parts for sale including instruments. And then there's a lot of posters, trophies and signs, including road signs and garage signs up for sale with starting price of US$100.
You can bid for things via the internet, but hey... it's Vegas, so why not head on over there and see all these great bikes.
