1911 Flying Merkel Board Track Racer

US$423,500 Joseph Merkel only made bikes for 15 years, and under three different names (Merkel, Merkel Light and Flying Merkel), but his motorcycles are among the most collectible in the world. This 1911 Flying Merkel board track racer presented at auction in completely original condition, and was regarded as one of the central gems of the entire E.J. Cole collection.
