105 Year Old Camelback Motorbike

This ancient bicycle is a 1906 Indian Camelback, one of the first ever two-wheeled motorized machines with just 1,698 of the rare cycles that were produced 105 years ago. They were called Camelbacks because of the curved gas tank that sits on top of the rear fender. In its 'unrestored' state, this puny 2.25 horse, single cylinder relic with a top speed of just 30mph could fetch as much as £50,000 at auction.
