Post Listing Update: I’m stunned that this got no action at the opening bid of $8,500. I’ve seen much higher sale prices on ADVRider. KTM’s 950 Super Enduro was already one of the most impressive big dual sports ever built, but the Austrian firm decided to make something a little bit fancier with the limited edition Erzberg Edition. Hard Enduro …
Vintage Motocross Collection in Colorado
Someone in Denver has a interesting set of four vintage MX bikes from all over the world. Annoyingly, the listing is sparse on details but these bikes are cool enough to take a closer look at.
Rare Duc in Italy – 1993 Ducati 888 SP4
Post Listing Update: This SP4 got no interest at the opening bid of $19,000. In 1992, Ducati introduced the 4th version of their Sport Production 888 – simply called the SP4. It was produced along side the base 851 and the very exotic Sport Production Special (SPS). Both SP bikes got Brembo brakes and Ohlins supension, plus the “1” racing …
1982 Honda CBX
Post Listing Update: This CBX did not meet reserve with 29 bids up to $7,500. When I recently featured a custom CBX, the general consensus was that the stock bike was much more appealing. Well, here’s a lovely stock example from a little bit later – by this point Honda had turned the CBX from a naked sportbike into a …

View PostRestoration of a 1977 Ducati 900SS – by Austin Vintage Cycle
You may remember that when I shared an interview with Ford Strei (the founder of Austin Vintage Cycle), I mentioned that a Bike-urious reader was having his 1977 Ducati 900SS restored by AVC. Well, the work is now done and I thought you’d want to see how it went! As told by AVC and lightly paraphrased by yours truly: Here …
1924 Indian Scout
Indian introduced the Scout in late 1919 as a 1920 model. Designed by Charles B. Franklin the Scout would continue in the Indian line up until it was interrupted by WWII as one of their most popular brands. Indian didn’t resume the Scout after the war, opting instead to give the name to an all new parallel twin model in …
Happy Holidays from Bike-urious!
View PostVolcano Red – 2007 BMW R1200S
Post Listing Update: This R12S did not meet reserve despite 25 bids up to $8,600. For a few years, the R1200S was the sportiest boxer twin that BMW ever mass produced. While there was a lot to love about the bike, the oddball red/white striped paint scheme wasn’t necessarily one of them. Here’s a well-modified example that recently got a …
1979 Honda CBX Custom
Post Sale Update: This CBX originally got no interest at a BIN of $25,000. The seller lowered the BIN to $19,950 and the bike then sold. Built by Jason Len of XKS Motorsport, this CBX has been featured in The CBX Book by Ian Foster and the CBX World calendar.
Bikers Helping Bikers – LEGO BMW R60/2
A few weeks ago I shared that LEGO will soon be offering a model kit of the new R1200GSW. Well, turns out they might be offering a kit for much older Beemer – and you can help make it happen!
Unexpected Trike – 2007 Kawasaki Ninja 500R
Thanks to a “Instatrike” kit from Tow-Pac, this Ninja 500 is now a 3-wheeler.
Ending Soon – 1962 MV Agusta 1962 Checca GTE Sport
Post Listing Update: Despite 38 bids up to $5,150, this Checca did not meet reserve on eBay. According to the seller, Checca translates to “Fairy” in English. It looks like the modern translation has taken more of a derogatory meaning, but hopefully you get the implication that this is a lightweight, nimble motorcycle. This gorgeous example has won multiple first …
Video Intermission – 1970s Motorcycle Safety Video
Here’s a 40+ year old film about motorcycle safety. The most interesting (and painful) part is the crash testing done where a motorcycle t-bones a car.
Sisufab Build – 1969 Honda CL350 Custom
Post Sale Update: After 9 bids on eBay, this Honda sold for $3,650. This Honda was built by Sisufab for the 2015 Roughrider Ink and Iron Expo in Fargo, North Dakota. The build took just 35 days and the bike ended up winning both the People’s Choice and Builder’s Choice awards.
