Post Listing Update: This Endeavour did not get any action at the BIN of $45,000. The Endeavour was a groundbreaking bike for Douglas, and their marketing materials reflected that notion with descriptions like “the motorcycle of the age, a masterpiece on who wheels…silent, safe, light, luxurious. The last word in engineering practice and design.“. Despite all that, very few were …
Period Road Racer – 1976 Ducati 900SS
View PostThe Huskymer – 1976 BMW R75/6 Custom
Built by Mokka Cycles, the Kuskymer is named as it’s a Husky tank on a BMW slash 5. It’s a weird concept, but do you think it works well?
1971 Honda CB750 Cafe Racer
Here’s a rare cafe racer where the builder realized it takes more than a set of cafe bars and a custom tail. What do you think of the end result?
SYSK – Trophy Motorcycles
This post guest written by reader Michael K! San Diego, California enjoys year-round motorcycling weather, is the home of a number of AMA Hall of Fame members, and a plethora of motorcycle shops including Trophy Motorcycles.

Are You At the Isle of Man Classic TT?
Contributor Ted Clough just let me know that he’s in Isle of Man for the Classic TT this weekend. If any of you are out there as well and feel like meeting up, drop me a line and I’ll pass it along!
Fire Rescue – 1962 Motobecane 125SV
Post Listing Update: This Fire Rescue Motobecane was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown. I love public service motorcycles, and this “Fire Rescue” bike is easily one of the coolest I’ve ever seen. It’s claimed to still be in “fairly decent” condition but it may need some work if you really want to cover some miles on it.
1973 Honda CL350 K5
We live in a world now where OEMs are all about bringing back “scramblers” – but if you’re older than 20, the word scrambler evokes images of bikes like this CL350. This example ain’t a show bike, but it looks to be a good survivor with a reasonable reserve price that’s already been met (bidding’s at $1,375).
A Deal For You – Club EagleRider and Bike-urious
10-4-2016 Update: EagleRider has just let me know that they are lowering the price of Club EagleRider to a $29 initiation fee and then $29/month. Of course, that ignores the special offer you get for being a Bike-urious reader as detailed below… When I mentioned that you’ll start seeing some more advertising on this site, I promised that I would …
Bought on Bike-urious – 1999 Laverda 750S Carenata
Editor’s Note: Reader dnaj has just picked up another bike featured on Bike-urious, and this time he’s sharing the entire story himself! I enjoy these posts because they make my life worth living. =) Hopefully you enjoy them, too.
Rally Prepped – 2012 Honda ST1300
Starting with a Honda ST1300, the seller of this bike “spared no expense” when he turned it into a bike that would let you be competitive in something like the Iron Butt Rally. There are $15,000 worth of parts on this thing, and it features one of the craziest cockpit views I’ve ever seen.
Spare Parts Party – 1975 Moto Morini 3 1/2
Post Sale Update: This 3.5 sold for $4,325 after 21 bids on eBay. Offered with no reserve, this Moto Morini 3 1/2 stands out thanks to the rare paint color and a plethora of spare parts. Some are NOS, some are used but in good shape, and some will need some work – but it’s way more than you usually …
Stuck Motor – 1913 Harley-Davidson Model 9E
Post Listing Update: This 9E project did not meet reserve despite 77 bids up to $33,900. Featuring a “7-8 horsepower” engine, the Model 9E was a twin that had a roller chain transmission. 1913 got a few refinements over the previous year, including larger inlet and exhaust chambers, more clearance between the tires and mudguards, wider forks, and more. MSRP …
1996 Ducati 900 SS/CR
Ducati offered the 900SS between 1991 and 1998, and during that time they sold a full-fairing version (the SS/SP) and a half-fairing version (the SS/CR). I find the latter more attractive, though the ’96 and newer CRs have non-rebuildable Marzochhi front forks that some riders aren’t happy with – don’t worry, this seller has dealt with that. This example has …
Turbo Supermoto – 2008 Yamaha WR280X
For a few years, Yamaha offered one of the only factory supermotos that US riders could buy. Based on the WR250R, the X got 17 inch wheels with sticky street tires to complement the 249cc single that shared high tech features from the YZ250F motocross bike. I already like the 250X, but this example is on a whole ‘nother level …
