Gear Review – Alpinestars Yaguara Drystar Jacket
View Post2006 Husaberg FS650E
Husaberg was acquired by KTM in 1995, but Bergs weren’t built in Austria until 2003. That new generation of bikes utilized many KTM parts, and the press loved the Austrian-Swedish hybrids. One of the interesting options was a dedicated supermoto called the FS650E. This example has been impressively modified and it needs someone to ride it aggressively.
1966 Matchless G15CSR
Post Listing Update: this G15CSR did not meet reserve despite 32 bids up to $8,200 on eBay.

Power Cruiser – 1985 Honda V65 Magna
Post Listing Update: The BIN was lowered to $3,250, but that wasn’t enough to attract a buyer for this Magna.

View PostClassic Hot Rod – 1969 BMW R60/2
Post Listing Update: This R60/2 did not meet reserve despite 33 bids up to $7,700. This probably should be called a R80/2, as it combines the classic style of a /2 with the “modern” features of a /6 and /7 drivetrain – 12V electrics with an electric starter, 5-speed transmission, and of course, more oomph.
No Reserve – 1975 Honda CB360T
