World’s most exotic January motorcycle sale…
December 29, 2007
Well, our “Golden Boy” is at it again. And Roger Goldammer really means it when he says he has every bike he’s built over the past five years in his possession. He told us, “they’re like my children… once I build them I just can’t find it in my heart to let them go”
But here are two of Roger’s “kids” that he’s having to kick out of the nest. Hey, we all have bills to pay, right?

Forget cut-price M&S underpants and cheap microwaves, check out these stunning specials about to be off-loaded by the world’s top custom motorcycle builders.
Roger Goldammer’s stunning Nortorious supercharged single café racer and the Experimental two-stroke 250 broke from endless, monotonous stream of American v-twin choppers by using engines you’d never dream of.
The Nortorious used half of a Harley-style air-cooled twin to create a 965cc single. Just to make the one-off motor more interesting, a supercharger was piggy-backed onto cylinder to give the bike 80bhp. The mental motor was then shoe-horned into a frame design based around a 50 year-old Norton, complete with drum brakes!
The Experimental is an earlier Goldammer project, and uses less one-off parts, but the result was just as outstanding. A modified Honda CR250R frame holds a BRC two-stroke parallel twin go-kart engine. The geometry is long and low, with minimalist and unique bodywork. The finished bike was later timed at the Bonneville Salt Flats, reaching an impressive 128mph!
Roger Goldammer told MCN: “I’m selling them because, well, I have in my possession every bike I have built over the last five years… and too many bills!”
Nortorious is on sale for £80,000, and Experimental is on sale with an asking price of £73,438.
