We really can’t spend more than 100 thousand dollars.....I will never be able to say that sentence in my life lol 😂

The auctioneer sounds like he needs his carbs cleaned. LMFAOOOO

Auctions kind of scare me, but you guys documenting this video has answered a lot of questions that i had that i kept hidden away. What helped you most is you did your homework before the auction and placed a price on each one and kept to your plan!!! Thats pretty awesome and many who see these kind of videos can learn a lot and not be intimidated when tey go to one.

10:02, when your trying to start your diesel ute on a cold morning.

Absolutely love your channel. We drove 9 hrs just to meet you guys ca few weeks back and it was totally worth it. Down to earth honest guys with really entertaining content.

My dad told me "When you buy car at auction, you are either the smartest guy in the room, or the dumbest."

good advice @ 20:30. One time the Misses (never been to an auction) pointed to the ceiling from the back of the crowd showing me how lovely the chandeliers were at a house auction. She just made a bid for $500 000 on that house. I realised what she had just done and must have had that look on my face that you get when you shit yourself and your balls drop and thankfully the auctioneer asked me whether that was a real bid or not. Fark we were out of there quicksmart. So yeah, last time I went to any auction with her.

The man selling the bikes seemed very nervous- he couldn't stop talking.

Keep up the great work bro love the videos!!! Saving up to buy my first bike from yall!!!! Cant wait to finally get a bike

Thanks for taking us along for the ride. What a treat. Hope you do more vids on behind the scene going’s on.

I haven't owned a bike in a long time but your videos really make me want to buy one!! Thanks for all the great content! I'm slowly making my way through all your older videos on both the channels, SRK & Bikes/Beards!! Great stuff

id love to attend an auction and learn some tricks of the trade. you guys are soo blessed!

Great video, I’ve never seen a motorcycle auction, really enjoyed it, your crew really makes work look like fun, wish I could say the same thing about what I do, but I can’t. Thanks again for a great video.

Love the vids. Keep posting so we can see those awesome rides. Would love to do what you guys do. #ridesafe #godbless

Great to watch this lad ...... Wish we had a dealer like this in the uk I would trust this fella Sean seems 100% to me 👌

I think SRK videos are what Reality TV should have been like. You se the good and the issues that come with running a business. It’s not packed with drama.

Excellent content guys. Fun watching somebody spend that kind of money. Wish I could...

I will travel from Europe to USA just to buy a bike from you guys!!! Great channel and great videos!!!

Y’all deserve my subscription you guys are awesome I love all y’all videos keep it ip

I had a 2001 Kawasaki Drifter 800. It had a 805 cc V-twin, single mono shock and chain drive. The 1500, actually 1470 cc's, had two shocks like the Harley Dyna's and was shaft drive. I currently own a 2002 Meanstreak that i purchased new. 14,000 miles, and I'm fortunate enough to be able to say it's never been dropped. I can't ride anymore, but I still give it the love it deserves. When they're at a responsible enough age, I'll probable end up giving it to one of my great nephews someday. I just hope he'll love it like I did. Love watching your all's channel. You guys are living the life I wish I would have had. Keep up the hard work, and always stay safe and stay upright, and may God bless you young men.

Your channel has more value than you realize. Thanks for all the amazing information. Subscriber for life.

"Sir, you can't buy anything saying no." -Auctioneer 2019

Me going to the auction: trying not to spend 10k lol

Really helps you keep a low profile by standing at the front and being filmed. However the fact that every time you bid the auction helper points directly at you and shouts yhea! Every time you made a bid. 🤔😉🏍️🛵🏍️🛵🏍️

This and Srkcycles,, my favourite bike related youtube channels. Great couple of fellers. Mustie1 is awesome too.

You have to be careful at these auctions sometimes you can buy new at the dealer for less if they want to get rid of it

You guys work EXTREMELY hard. We can totally tell. May God continue to bless SRK Cycles. And thanks for another feature length vid for us to enjoy as a family during pizza night. We love you guys! God bless!!!

Great channel,very interesting by seemingly honest bike dealers.Quite a rare thing,especially where I come from.I can’t believe how cheap bikes are in the states,moreover the Harlelys.

Good job , and thanks for the Verse , me an my ol’lady ( she hates that) needed that verse . 🙏

Brilliant thirty minutes of entertainment. Thanks. Regards, Bob M, South Wales

From the uk... absolutely love this channel keep up the work guys... your mate sounds just like Jonah hill it’s nuts

I have a close friend that has a 1500 drifter!!! Great bike!! It has over 50000 miles on it and still runs great!!

I love these auction videos!!

Great vid and great editing. keep it up!

Dude, Caleb's laugh is infectious. Keep it up guys. I don't even own a bike or have a bike license yet I been watching your vids for the last 3 days because it happen to pop up on my YT recommended vids.

Very good, and entertaining video! Thank you!

i used to go to Auctions all the time buying and selling .Making a low profile is how it's done, to keep the other bidders out of the picture.

You guys are awesome I pray that God will keep on blessings you guys & your friends and family 🏁✌️✊🏴‍☠️

hey guys love your videos , should you or should you not consider major upgrades to the motorcycles

Interesting look inside the auction, thanks for sharing.

Im sorry but is Caleb kinda like the younger brother you never wanted to take anywhere but your mom told you to do so, so you just listened and brought him along anyway? Hes hilarious but thats kinda the vibe Im getting from Sean. Lol You guys are awesome love the vids.

i loved this kind of video! a bit late, but good job

love the stories like this atleast ya show us how its done

Keep up the good work dude. Too bad you're so far from me, I'd love to come meet y'all

Kawasaki Vulcan Mean Streak 1600 is what I’d love to be able to own again. Was my very first bike I bought and learned on. Miss her and just being able to ride

I have a Kawasaki VN1500 Drifter, as in my avatar. There are 1500's shaft driven and chain driven 400's and 800's that are both completely alike, apart from perhaps the color. Quite different machines made in the same period after 1999. More looking like Indian then Harley as the Classics used to. Often the other model is disguised as Drifter and in The Netherlands you can call a model whatever you want on registration. Your 800 should have a funny rail around the slim saddle that gives it the special look combined with the Indian fender. An 800 Drifter has a swing arm. Just hope for the best. These fenders have great value because you can not ever run into sand fountains and the radiator keeps absolutely clean. Never had anything Indian added to the looks (fender light is "futuristic") and still I run into receiving compliments a lot. Point potential buyers out that most Harley cruisers are lower and have wider handlebars. This week I made my first, low resolution, ride video and guess w... I read the "101 favorite Bible verses for men" that seem a lot similar to yours. I don't know about Favorite though. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r698nNKlt6uRYJc.html

Caleb has a different pair of Crocs and Satchel for everyday of the week.

Also just would like to add to my comment/message I have previous experience wrenching on and detailing all kinds of bikes from tons of vintage to current models as well. Thanks again and truly all you guys @ SRK Cycles God Bless to all and to your families as well.

The Indian logos is a very common thing to do on the drifters. Alot of people paint them on. Kawasaki never painted indian logos on the bike. Drifter came in 2 flavors, 800 and 1500. If theyre stock you can tell the year by the paint color. The blacked out frames were available for a couple of the earlier year (on the 1500 anyway) if I remember right 99 and '00. All drifters were made at 1 plant in Japan (Akashi) then shipped out across the world. Also the original name for the drifter was going to be the "Super Chief" not the "Chief". The last code on the drifters are vn1500J and vn800E Theres a global number of 18,000 Drifters made. According to some minor research only 50 in Australia

I dont currenly owned a bike, but I still watch your videos. You guys are funny....😂😂😂

Can you guys make a comparison video between the Ducati Scrambler and the XSR700!?

kawasaki drifter 1500 was the first bike i ever rode when learning how to ride. I still ride it and it is amazing.

Never seen this before but Caleb looks like Jake Johnson when he’s sitting on the couch talking

I'd love to see a bike auction with cheaper bikes, like the ones you buy for the cheap-bike-series!

The owner of this shop looks just like Ellis from die hard!!😂😂😂 especially on the couch with the facial expressions. “Hans! Bubby!”

In 2001 I bought here in Australia a brand new black Kawasaki Drifter 1500cc. It sits in my garage and has only done 9600klms and I have left it completely original and is still in new condition. Funnily when I bought it they weren't a popular bike but since Polaris reinvented Indian they are starting to get a good following. I think they are a great motorcycle. 👍

Side cars are neat but it’s a limited market. I have never ridden one, always been curious.

i go to many auctions and i get for you trying to keep a low profile when I see an antique dealer biding on something I want I figure I cant go wrong biding against him ,what I would do if I was you is get some unknown person to bid for you with some simple signal like stop biding when I scratch my but LOL

I wish you could post pics here... I have a Triumph Sprint just like that red one (mine is blue)

I bought a new Kwak Drifter here in the UK dirt cheap as they weren't selling. Most uncomfortable bike I ever owned so shipped it within 6 months.

Play it again sports! Loved that place as a kid!

I ride my buddy's silver wing sometimes and I think I'm gonna kill the engine going slow cause I ride a motorcycle, it was funny to see Caleb has that same mindset, I seen him try to go into first backing up that burgman

13:20 he smacks his tongue like he wants to talk to the manager! 😂🤣😂🤣

Good to hear Bugs Bunny is still in work, someone much have laced his carrot with speed cause our kid is going mental on that microphone!

"Counting is hard for Caleb." Brutal.

Wish you had gotten the DRZ400sm it was clean and I’d love a new one

I had a Kawasaki VN800 Drifter from new. A red lovely cruising bike.

That was crazy it was like you were in two places at once. Behind Caleb manning the camera and at his door harassing him

V-rods with ape hangers are everywhere on the east coast of Australia.

Are GoldWing Trikes still popular in America. We see some in the UK & they can be a practical European touring tool.

You guys are awesome trying to Americans back on the road GBU later

Kawasaki made an 800cc and a 1500cc Drifter over the years. Not that many made exactly. It just pays homage to the style of the older Indian Chief motorcycles of the 40s and 50s.

around my area a used ruckus (10 years) goes for the same as a brand new one minus fees, its ridiculous

Nice mandals sweet rigs man

Good job on the video

Kawasaki "Drifter" was the Indian style bike . :-) I owned a new Drifter in 2003 ,they are easy to hot rod and can really scoot one modified ,the only thing I didn't care for was the shaft drive,(the smaller Drifters had belt and a mono shock frame) but it was fine it didn't act weird in corners under acceleration like Beemers do. If you want to know about the mods let me know and I'll look up my notes.Cheers.

14:40 so you're saying the auctioneers are crooked and will fake bids in order to make you bid against yourself. Sounds like an unethical business practice, even unlawful. I find that hard to believe but what do I know. Never been to an auction.

I love the channel bro, amazing insight into the motorcycle business

I know this is an old video but right when he started laughing I thought that was Nick from new girl in the intro

"Bidding against the soda machine" LOL haven't heard that phrase before. I have done a lot of farm auctions and we talked about "phantom bidders" or "bi-bids". Some auctioneers are really bad at it. Do it long enough you can start spotting Tells, just like in poker, when the auctioneer is trying to "run you up". I have caught auctioneers doing this and so I'll pick an item, bid hot and heavy, no hesitation, until we reach some really stupid price, then I suddenly stop bidding, hanging him with it. You will also have fake "dummy bidders" who either work for the auctioneer or may be with the seller & will try to run up the price on you.

I’m so confused so on motorcycle auction, how did you specify to raise up the price without showing anything

I can't believe that Suzuki DRZ400sm went almost for retail. The old American favorites are getting more and more expensive.

My first street bike was a drifter 800 with a custom military themed paint job

14:20 looks like Caleb weed brownie kicks in and he gaps right out lmao

It's cool that you talk about this

I absolutely love the Kawasaki Drifter

That's a good life and friendship yous have there.

ayyy first view fellas, love from indy! Cant wait to come down from here and shop with yall

Ahhhhh I saw you try and kick that scooter into first 😂

Flip! here in NZ that Rod would have gone for way more! thats pretty much the only way Rods look down here haha

Interesting process!

This was fun to watch..I liked this video.

I would like to see more auction stuff

I love these Bible scriptures. Great episode.Thanks

Hope you guys got there early enough for the free breakfast. ABC always has a good breakfast. So does Manheim, but that's only exotic sales. I don't think they really have many bikes at exotics. Heck, they don't have many bikes on Friday sales either.

How to win at auctions Step 1: Don't bid on the wrong thing Step 2: Don't bid against the soda machine Step 3: DO NOT signal your bid by setting off a roman candle while screaming through a megaphone "I'M BIDDING!"

the harley with side car sell here in the netherlands between 18,000 and 23,000 depends on the state of the bike and i know a lot of harley guys here go to america to buy them maybe that is what happend there

You are blessed to have such a nice friend/partner

If the auctioneer had a banjo player backing him, I’d buy the album.

I got my 1st 2015 Fatboy from the auction for $3.200 ,other dealers wouldn't outbid me because the original owner modded the bike to be a bobber ,he also rebuilt the motor from a 103 to a 117 ,i sold the bike for $7,800 on Facebook marketplace after i rode it for 3 days,it sold the 2nd day it was on Facebook,if you guys aren't using Facebook marketplace then your really missing out ,i flip used Harleys and Used Mcintosh uber high end home hifi stereo & home theater equipment for a living ,Facebook marketplace has become my fastest selling site where i can flip without the ebay & paypal fees .
