Bonhams will feature the 1895 Hildebrand & Wolfmüller motorcycle at The International Classic MotorCycle Show, Stafford on 25th April 2010.
An unrestored example of the very first vehicle to which the name ‘motorcycle’ was ever applied. It is a twin-cylinder, four-valve, water-cooled, 1488cc engine, no clutch, no brakes. Maximum power output of 2.5 hp at 240 rpm, capable of speeds approaching 50 kph. The machine has been in the same family since the 1930s and it will cost you between $65,000 and $100,000 before you even can start restoring the bike. Pic #3 is a drawing of how the bike looked like when it was new.

Well, they expect atleast 60K. Maybe I hold on to my R1 a little longer, you never know
Isn't it amazing, 1488 cc in such a tiny little block?
