What does "Star" and "Feature" mean on the upper corner of each bike's photo?

"STAR" and "FEATURE" just means hese are bikes from "famous" collections...and usually means they have a high reserve price and you will pay $$ TOP DOLLAR!!$$

Hey JJ, I had posted this link on the other thread regarding the still in the crate listed Lemans 3,(consensus seems to be it's actually a later model Lemans 1000 SE?)

I thought it would be a good idea to try and keep auction related material in one spot for those interested.

This link will take you to a very well put together catalog of the 21 bikes sent to auction by the Gagnon brothers who run the Motorcycle Museum "Musee L'Epopee La Moto" in Saint Jean Port Jolie, Quebec.

I saw the link on FB for the catalog of 21 bikes, that are duplicates or surplus to their collection, they are sending to auction, interesting story on the background of the brothers and some very desirable motorcycles. A lot of nice Bimotas, 4 Guzzis, 4 Ducatis, 2 rare XR HD's, Laverda & MV Augusta etc.

The brothers have obviously done well for themselves following their passion.

Any bets if the total collection could bring in up to 7 figures if auction fever kicks in? If not how close to it?

They've got one of the green frame Ducs, listed, I agree with the opinion, it won't bring top dollar if there are others on the block.

Not a lot of buyers out there with 250K, and it certainly takes away from the rarity, exclusivity and cachet for the buyer/bidder if there's more than one for sale.

Enjoy

Does anyone know if this auction will be televised or streamed somewhere?

jas67 · « **Reply #67 on:** January 16, 2020, 08:57:31 PM »

Download the Hagerty Inside app for iOS users today

Might not be video, but, at least live results.

Turin · « **Reply #68 on:** January 16, 2020, 09:56:30 PM »

NBCSN ( nbs sports )

Groover · « **Reply #69 on:** January 17, 2020, 08:25:27 AM »

Cool, thanks guys. Got the app downloaded, and TV show set to record. It appears to be televised at the end of the auction day span, probably just showing the highlights.

Either way, channel # 1604 if you have U-Verse - Mecum Las Vegas Motorcycles Sun Jan 26 5:00PM - 9:00PM NBCSN

Maybe more or re-runs on the 28th and 30th? Not sure.

For reasons I can not explain I am attracted to LOT W306 - 1960 Moto Guzzi Galletto.

Looks like this one sold for $10,000 ($11,000 with buyer premium)

Can be seen around the 7:42:00 mark here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sty1BvKBaHc "Mecum Motorcycle Auction - Las Vegas 2020 Day 2" (they are posting the videos of each day the day after)

Seems some these bikes are actually selling for reasonable prices. Not sure about the price on the Galetto, but I think it's probably what they are going for normally (not a Vegas gambling high price I don't think) - Lot's good stuff. Haven't watched the entire videos, but it's easy to find the lots you may be curious about.

Wow, that is crazy money for a Galletto. A nice one can be had in Europe for under 4000 Euro.

Yes, indeed....

* Add two buyers that want one...
* Add the bright lights and excitement of a MECUM auction in Vegas...
* Add alcohol to lubricate the process...and BOOM!

Sorry, haven't been following the Galetto market much. I do know the two Vespas P200E and the P125x sold for pretty much the going prices these days.

I just watched lot T344 cross the block - 1981 Benelli 250 4 cylinder, sold for $15K + buyer premium, that's silly money

on the other hand a 1948 Bacon Slicer 500cc GTV sold earlier today for $13,200 and a 1953 Airone 250 went for $8260, cheap in comparison to the little Benelli.

A Benelli 900 Sei made $17600, that's more than what they have gone for in the past, maybe the 'other six' is starting to get the attention of collectors?

One that surprised me was a 1976 Yamaha XT500C - 1st year of the iconic thumper, went for just under $8K. I sold one just like it, mine was a 99 point bike, I let it go about 8 years ago for under $3500, surprised they have reached this kind of money.

I have to ask forgiveness.......
I’ve strayed a bit, I bought the ‘36 Terrot 350. The bike checked all the boxes for me, and was WAY too cool and too nice for the price to pass up ! Maybe someone could post a link to it for me. Had to show a lot of restraint on the the Airone sport. I want one and I thought the price was fair, I believe it hammered at $6500.

Groover · « **Reply #82 on:** January 24, 2020, 07:48:10 AM »

^ Congrats! That's what it's all about!

Here is the link. Nice they also have some videos of the bike running

Pretty sure I saw something sell for 280,000. Not sure what it was, had the stream going on on computer in the corner with volume down, while watching TV with the wife. Saw it from a distance, thought it said that number. Fun to watch for sure!

jas67 · « **Reply #88 on:** January 25, 2020, 12:03:13 PM »

Early Brough Superior. Hammer price was $280k + 10% buyer's premium = $308k.

Yes, that was it!
