Last month we featured some great bikes – but did they sell? And if so, for how much?

This list will only include listings from eBay (or other auction sites). I unfortunately have no way of finding out final sale prices of bikes offered on Craigslist/Cycle Trader/Kijiji/etc. With that said, here are some highlights from last month:

Born Free 8 Best in Show – 1942 Harley-Davidson UL Chopper – sold for $21,100 after 26 bids on eBay in Orange, California.

The Icon’s Little Brother – 1973 Bimota HB1 350 – sold for $4,549 after 69 bids on eBay in Reno, Nevada.

1965 Honda CL72 Scrambler w/ Belly Tank Trailer – sold for $6,600 on Bring a Trailer in Portland, Oregon.

No Reserve – 1994 Yamaha TZR250RS 3XVA – sold for $6,056 after 25 bids on eBay in Springville, Utah.

Pre-Unit Bobber – 1957 Triumph Tiger Custom – sold for $13,056 after 13 bids on eBay in Manassas, Virginia.

Krauser Fairing – 1984 BMW K100 – sold for $4,101 after 33 bids on eBay in Glastonbury, Connecticut.

Japan Only – 1991 Yamaha R1-Z – sold for $6,101 after 36 bids on eBay in Auburn, Washington.

2 Miles – 2002 Ducati 998S Ben Bostrom Replica – 6/155 – sold for $18,299 after 16 bids on eBay in Manhasset, New York.

Built for Japan – 1986 Ducati 400 F3 – sold for $5,299 after 15 bids on eBay in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Toasted Scrambler – 1973 BMW R75/5 Custom – sold for $5,344 after 44 bids on eBay in Mount Kisco, New York.

AVC Rebuild – 1974 Ducati 750GT – sold for $25,000 after 20 bids on eBay in Leander, Texas.

Ending Soon with No Reserve – 1986 Yamaha SRX600 – sold for $4,350 after 23 bids on eBay in Jacksonville, Oregon.

Of the bikes that did not sell, here are some examples that I thought were noteworthy:

SFC750 Spec Race Replica – 1974 Laverda SF2 – did not meet reserve with 13 bids up to $13,100 in Brooklyn, New York.

1975 BMW R90S – did not meet reserve with 21 bids up to $13,000 in Stockton, New Jersey.

1985 Moto Guzzi V65 TT – did not meet reserve despite 49 bids up to $3,200 in Telluride, Colorado.
