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:
Ending Soon – 1965 Harley-Davidson FLH – sold for $21,077.77 after 26 bids on eBay in Boise, Idaho.
2WD – 1971 Pak-Jak 3 Wheel Scooter – sold for $2,949 after 13 bids on eBay in Clinton, Missouri.
250 Miles – 1974 Suzuki TS100 – sold for $1,225 after 24 bids on eBay in Jackson, Ohio…to Bike-urious reader Chris C!
Restored and Enjoyed – 1971 Suzuki T500 Titan – sold for $6,200 after 33 bids on eBay in Sunland, California. It was bought by commenter Jim E who notes, “I was the winning bidder on eBay and have since replaced both tires, rear brakes, all the bulbs (headlight, tach and speedo), installed period correct blinkers front and rear, flasher relay, rider foot peg rubber, trans oil, spark plugs, OEM gas cap, air cleaner element, and waiting on the front brake stop light switch. Bike was in decent shape but you never know till you dig into them to find out was is really missing.”
No Reserve – 1980 Suzuki GS1000S Wes Cooley Replica – sold for $5,300 after 31 bids on eBay in Gainesville, Georgia.
2004 Moto Guzzi V11 LeMans Nero Corsa – sold for $7,000 after 25 bids on eBay in Miami, Florida.
Ending Soon – 1981 Honda CT110 with 300 Miles – Initially, this CT110 did not meet reserve with 44 bids up to $3,050. The seller then relisted it and it sold for a BIN of $4,500(!) in Reno, Nevada.
Here’s some stuff that didn’t sell:
Recently Restored – 1968 Bultaco Metralla Mk2 – did not meet reserve despite 4 bids up to $5,300.
Early American – 1911 Yale Single – did not meet reserve (BIN was $36,500) despite 48 bids up to $25,368.13 in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
1982 Moto Guzzi V50 Monza – did not meet reserve despite 21 bids on eBay up to $3,150. It’s since been relisted with a BIN of $3,800.
1960 Matchless G80CS – did not meet reserve despite 32 bids on eBay up to $6,700 in Idyllwild, California.
Unrestored – 1948 Indian Chief – did not meet reserve despite 43 bids up to $20,200 in Plainfield, New Hampshire.
AMS Ducati Restoration – 1973 Ducati 750 Sport – did not meet reserve despite 35 bids up to $36,300 in Ben Lomond, California.
1961 BMW R50/2 with Steib TR500 Sidecar – did not meet reserve despite 55 bids up to $18,700 in Port Washington, New York.
Original Paint – 1913 Flying Merkel – did not meet reserve despite 128(!) bids up to $89,999 in Marion, Indiana. The BIN was $245,000.
Did anything surprise you? I can’t believe someone spent $4,500 on a Honda CT110.
