Bikes from Sweden’s MC Collection drive record sales in Las Vegas.
Over 1,340 motorcycles sold on the auction block during the January 22 – 26 event, collecting a total of $26.3 million in sales , an increase of 87 percent over the 2018 event. Over 91 percent of the bikes offered for sale received winning bids.
Sales were stimulated by the presence of a 238-bike grouping from Sweden’s MC Collection, a private collection based in Stockholm. The collection was founded by Christer R. Christensson, and developed with motorcycle historian Ove Johansson to help illustrate the history of the motorcycle from 1894 to present. The MC Collection is relocating this year, and the new venue, the 1645 Baroque palace Tido Castle, will have less display space -- hence the sale of surplus bikes.
