Post Listing Update: The BIN of this Ascot was lowered to $19,995, but that wasn’t enough to get a buyer. Set in 2017, “The Fire Next Time” was a 1993 TV miniseries about how a family tries to survive a series of natural disasters that are brought about by global warming. It starred Craig T. Nelson and apparently featured this …

Today on the auction site we’ve got a classic Honda that needs a new home.
1964 Scott Flying Squirrel
“As lively as a Squirrel and never sheds a nut.” The Scott Flying Squirrel debuted all the way back in 1921, which is why the period slogan sounds a bit…dated. But the bike lived on for an impressively long time, surviving multiple closures of its parent company. By 1954, Scott Motorcycles had been moved to Birmingham, and a new series …

New Auction Bike – 1998 Honda CBR900RR Erion
The CBR900RR was a game changer for motorcycles when it was introduced in the early 90s. Honda released the 4th generation in 1998, but that coincided with Yamaha’s generational leap of the R1. Still, the Honda had earned itself a loyal following, and this example is a treat thanks to the Erion Racing-inspired livery.
1981 Honda Gorilla
Post Sale Update: This Gorilla sold for $3,850 after 40 bids on eBay in Austin, Texas. If you’ve been following this site for a while, you’re more than familiar with the Honda Monkey.

Video Intermission – Petrolicious – 1967 Bultaco Metralla 250 Mk2: Rolling Myth
When it was released, the Metralla Mk2 was the fastest two-stroke motorcycle you could buy. It held that title for a short time – you should check out Mat Oxley’s book Stealing Speed to learn why two-stroke development was at a fever pitch during this decade – but even as other companies built faster bikes, the Metralla was still fantastically …
First Ride Review – 2019 Honda CB500X
View Post565 Miles – 1973 BMW R75/5

Gift Intermission – OddBike Merch
One of my favorite motorcycle websites is Jason Cormier’s OddBike, in which he ‘obsesses over weird motorcycles from around the world.’ His work is impeccably researched, and it’s a great place to learn about two-wheeled oddballs. Whenever I feature a bike for sale that Jason has covered, I make it a point to share his thoughts.
