Post-Listing Update: This Poice Terrot did not meet reserve with bidding up to $2,480. My favorite Belgian motorcycle seller strikes again with a lovely little French police bike. Terrot started building bikes in 1902, and by 1929 they had sold 100,000 of them. They ran a very successful racing program in the 30s, but after the war they focused on …
August 2016 Result Highlights
View PostOne Owner – 1980 Ducati 900SS
Post Listing Update: This 900SS did not meet reserve despite 45 bids up to $24,200. After the angular design of the 860GT, Ducati went back to the classic lines of the 750SS when they styled the 900 Super Sport. Despite fewer-than-expected sales when it was first released, the 900SS has been steadily gaining value in recent years – and this …

View PostVintage Flat Tracker – 1928 Harley-Davidson JD Twin Cam
Homer Knapp was a legendary gearhead who founded Hollywood Motorcycle Machine back in 1966. Unfortunately, he passed away late last year, and his bikes have been moving on to their next owners thanks to Classic Motorcycle Consignments – hopefully you’ve seen their ad on the sidebar as they’re a Bike-urious sponsor. Of Homer’s extensive motorcycle collection, one of the most …
Deus Ex Build – BMW R100S Custom
View Post1953 Zundapp KS601 Sport
9-8-16 Update: Last time this was featured, bidding stalled at $8,400. It’s now back up for sale with bidding at $8,100 and the reserve not yet met or a BIN of $12,950 here on eBay. In 1951, Zundapp introduced their last big bike – the KS601 (Kardan Sport). It got plenty of positive attention from the press, but Zundapp’s sales …
Vee Two Ducati Alchemy SV-1
Last week I featured one of the rare distinct models from Brook Henry’s famed Australian Ducati tuning house, Vee Two. Here’s the other one, a bevel head-based exotic called the Alchemy SV-1.
Confused KLR – 2005/2008 Kawasaki KLR650 Supermoto
There’s a lot of custom KLRs out there – but typically when a KLR owner throws money at his or her bike, it’s to make it more dirt-friendly. This seller has gone in a slightly different direction, as he’s turned it into a fat-tired supermoto. To be frank, I’m not sure it makes sense…but it’s unique enough to share.
Enduro Bobber – 2005 Yamaha 300 Custom
Enduro Bobber: two words I don’t expect to see together. Starting with a “2005 Yamaha 300” – though I could have sworn Yamaha was making a 250 and not a 300 at the time – this bike has been turned into an unexpected bar hopper. It’s street legal and definitely different, but would you ever ride it?

View PostTwo Weeks Notice – Bike-urious Supermoto Day
Just a reminder – just short of two weeks from now (September 19th) I’m hosting a private day at SoCal Supermoto School – go here for more details. I’ve still got a couple of spots left, so come on down!
Christini 2WD – 2007 KTM 300 XCW
Christini has made a name for themselves in the motorcycle industry thanks to their AWD system. While they now offer a variety of models ranging from 250-450ccs in displacement, they also offer kits to convert certain modern dirtbikes to two wheel drive. Here’s a recent KTM equipped with such a kit – which would have cost the owner $3,995.
1992 Yamaha TDM850
The TDM850 was a bit of an oddball that was about 15 years ahead of its time. A pavement-focused dual sport like the Multistrada or the S1000XR, the TDM gave riders the ability to explore any paved road in comfort with the option to explore fire roads to their heart’s content. Unfortunately, not many riders in the US back in …
