The Motorcycles
This year at the Bulli Antique Motorcycle Weekend we will be featuring 125 years of Indian Motocycles, 90 years of the Harley Davidson 'Knucklehead', and 10 years of the best-of-the-best motorcycles previously seen at Bulli.
The following examples are just some of the motorcycles that will be on display at Bulli this year:
1928 Indian 101 Scout
The Indians are coming to Bulli. Celebrating 125 years of Indian Motocycles.
This year we are proud to present a display of Indian Motocycles at Bulli. A line up of early Indians through to the end of production in 1953.
This 1928 Indian 101 Scout will be there together with machines representing the timeline of evolution of the marque. Hedstroms, Powerplus, Scouts, Chiefs and even an Indian Four will be there.
Indian Expert Jim Parker will be providing a technical talk on the Indian Marque.
Come join us to see the Indians at Bulli.
1925 Brough Superior SS100 Sand Racer – DD 6391
One of just 12 surviving examples of the original SS100 introduced in 1925, this remarkable Brough Superior was built for privateer racer and three-time Isle of Man TT competitor C.F. Edwards.
DD 6391 competed at Pendine Sands, Southport, Brooklands and the Ulster Grand Prix, where Edwards finished an outstanding third in 1925 behind Stanley Woods.
After being advertised dismantled for just £22 10s in 1951, it remained apart for an extraordinary 67 years before being sold at Bonhams in 2018 and painstakingly restored by Howard Wilcox, retaining as many original components as possible.
With matching frame and engine numbers and a documented competition history, DD 6391 is a genuine survivor from the very beginning of the legendary Brough Superior SS100 story.
See it at the AMCA Australia Motorcycle Weekend at Bulli – 28–29 August.
1913 Indian Hedstrom TT
1913 was Indian’s highest production year. The first year of a two-speed transmission made these machines very competitive against the many belt-drive machines of the veteran era.
This beautifully presented example is an AMCA Winners Circle machine and will be on display at the AMCA Australia Motorcycle Weekend at Bulli – 28–29 August.
1934 Indian Chief Bobber
This stunning Indian Chief Bobber began as a project in 2010, when its owner found a 1934 frame in South Australia. Over the next 13 years, the parts were carefully collected and the build gradually came together. The aim was simple – create a period-correct Indian bobber with modern upgrades to make it a great bike to ride.
The original 74ci engine has been stroked to 84ci, using Truett & Osborn flywheels and H-beam rods, together with high-lift Shunk cams and Bonneville lifters. A four-speed overdrive transmission with torque evener, electronic ignition and CV carburettor complete the package, while the electrics have been upgraded to 12 volt for reliability.
Finished in the striking combination of Navajo Blue and Apache Grey, the 13-year build was finally completed in 2023.
A beautiful example of traditional Indian styling with some very clever engineering underneath.

1936 Harley-Davidson EL – Harley City Collection
A very special 1936 EL Knucklehead, from the Harley City Collection, will be on display at the AMCA Australia Motorcycle Weekend at Bulli. This EL61 has been part of the collection since 1990. Its previous owner had owned the motorcycle for 15 years and rebuilt the engine during that period. Since joining the Harley City Collection, the 1936 EL has been far from a static display piece. It has taken part in many Great Races and numerous club rides, as well as serving as a regular commuter.
Remarkably, the engine has never been apart during more than 35 years in the collection – testimony to the durability of Bill Harley's original overhead-valve design.
Introduced in 1936, the EL and its now legendary Knucklehead engine represented a major step forward for Harley-Davidson and established an engine architecture that would influence the company's big twins for generations to come.
See this piece of Harley-Davidson history at the AMCA Australia Motorcycle Weekend at Bulli – 28–29 August.
1922 Henderson Deluxe
This magnificent 1922 Henderson Deluxe is a wonderful example of one of America's great early four-cylinder motorcycles. Powered by its impressive 1300cc four-cylinder engine and fitted with a 100 mph Corbin police speedometer, this is an older restoration that presents as a beautiful piece of motorcycle art – and, importantly, is still a pleasure to ride.
With its distinctive Henderson styling, exposed four-cylinder engine and wonderful period details, it's a motorcycle that deserves to be seen up close.
And for anyone looking to add something very special to their collection, this Henderson is also available for sale.
See it on display at the AMCA Australia Motorcycle Weekend at Bulli, 28–29 August.
1951 Vincent Black Lightning – “Black Jack” Ehret
One of the most famous Vincents ever built – and arguably the most celebrated Black Lightning in Australian motorcycling history.
One of only around 30 Black Lightnings built to special order, this machine was constructed at Stevenage for Australian racer Tony McAlpine as a replica of the legendary works racer Gunga Din. After arriving in Australia it was raced by Jack Forrest before being purchased in 1952 by the fearless “Black Jack” Ehret, who would own and race it for almost 50 years.
On 19 January 1953, Ehret rode this very motorcycle to a new Australian Land Speed Record of 141.509 mph, despite having to change gears by hand after the gearbox selector failed. In practice he had reached an extraordinary 149.6 mph. Ehret continued to campaign the Lightning in solo and sidecar competition for decades, including victory in the 1956 Senior Sidecar TT at Bathurst. Remarkably, he raced it again with his son John at Eastern Creek in 1993.
Today the motorcycle remains preserved rather than restored, retaining the scars and patina of its extraordinary competition life. Its international significance was confirmed in 2018 when it sold at Bonhams Las Vegas for US$929,000 – a world auction record for a motorcycle at the time.
A remarkable survivor from the era when Vincent proudly proclaimed: “The World’s Fastest Standard Motorcycle” — a fact, not a slogan.
See this legendary 1951 Vincent Black Lightning on display at the AMCA Australia Motorcycle Weekend at Bulli – 28–29 August.
1938 Indian Chief
This beautifully restored 1938 Indian Chief features magneto ignition and retains matching engine and frame numbers. Restored in 2016, the Chief has already achieved the prestigious AMCA Winners Circle Award – recognition of the quality and authenticity of its restoration.
This year it's returning to Bulli, but in a different role, entering the Preservation Class and continuing its story as a motorcycle to be enjoyed and preserved.

1928 Brough Superior SS100 Alpine Grand Sport
On display at the Bulli Antique Motorcycle Weekend will be this exceptional 1928 Brough Superior SS100 Alpine Grand Sport – one of just 35 built that year and number 28 of the series.
Powered by the legendary 998cc overhead-valve JAP V-twin and fitted with the Bentley & Draper spring frame, the SS100 was one of the fastest and most prestigious motorcycles of its era. Famously, every SS100 was guaranteed by the factory to have exceeded 100 mph before delivery.
Despatched from the Brough Superior works in Nottingham on 8 June 1928, this motorcycle has a remarkable documented history, including more than 70 years in Australia.
Restored by Graeme Carson in 1979, it subsequently achieved an extraordinary 499 points out of 500 and a Gold Award from the Vintage Motorcycle Club of Victoria, before becoming a familiar sight at major Australian vintage rallies. Its extensive history file includes correspondence dating back to the 1950s, factory and club records, restoration documentation and even handwritten period riding and maintenance instructions.
After later passing through the collections of Franco Trento and Steve Hazelton, it was purchased by its current owner in July 2026. Believed to have travelled only around 3,000 miles since its restoration, it remains a wonderful example of George Brough’s most celebrated creation.
Fast, beautifully engineered and unquestionably deserving of the famous title: “The Rolls-Royce of Motorcycles.”

1972 Honda CB100 – A 50-Year Time Capsule
This little Honda has a remarkable history. Bought new from a Honda dealership in Wagga Wagga in 1973, it was purchased by a young man who needed a commuter bike for work.
Not long afterwards, the young man met a young lady – and her parents apparently gave him an ultimatum: “It’s the bike or the girl... your choice.” The girl evidently won.
With just over 3,000 km on the clock, the little CB100 was traded at a local car dealership. Rather than being sold, it was pushed to the back of the workshop – where remarkably it would remain stored for the next 50 years.
Eventually offered to its current owner, the Honda was carefully recommissioned and entered in the AMCA Judging Program for the first time in 2025.
The result? An outstanding Junior First Award with 99.5 points out of 100, as well as the award for Most Original Motorcycle.
This remarkable survivor will be at Bulli in 2026, once again entering the AMCA Judging Program – this time hoping to achieve its Senior Award. A genuine time capsule and a wonderful example of how the AMCA welcomes and celebrates all motorcycles 35 years and older – from humble commuter bikes to the rarest machines in the world.
And as for the young man and the young lady? We can't say whether their relationship has stood the test of time... but the little CB100 certainly has!
