Just 1,698 pairs of these rare cycles were produced 105 years ago, with its "unrestored" state meaning the relic could fetch as much as 50,000 pounds at auction, Daily Mail reported.

The ancient bicycle is in fact a 1906 Indian Camelback, one of the first ever two-wheeled motorized machines and one which is hugely desirable to collectors.

And it packs a puny 2.25 horse, has a single cylinder and top speed of just 30mph.

The motorcycle is going under the hammer at Bonhams in Las Vegas, Nev., on Jan. 12.

105岁摩托车将被拍卖

       据英国《每日邮报》报道，105年前制造的1698辆最原始的古董摩托车之一将被拍卖，拍价或能达到5万英镑(约49.5万元)。

       这辆印第安摩托车于1906年制造，装有最早的两轮发动机，对于收藏家来说是超值的惊喜。

       它有一个单独的汽缸，仅有2.25马力，最快时速也只有30英里（约48公里）。

       这辆摩托车将于明年1月12日在美国内华达州拉斯维加斯宝龙拍卖行拍卖。
