One one hand, this rebirth of Norton (especially with the limited production “Special Edition”) is worth a second look. On the other hand, the seller’s photos are so awful that I almost couldn’t bring myself to feature it on this site. So let’s just leave it with one photo, and a quick rant – if you’re selling a bike for …
1997 Honda CBR 600 F3 Smokin’ Joe’s Replica
Post-Listing Update: As shown by the commenter Blayne, this is not a real Smokin’ Joe’s Replica. I take it all back! One of my favorite liveries of all time is the Marlboro McLaren F1s of the early 90s – probably in part due to my obsession with Ayrton Senna. Nowadays, a livery featuring a tobacco company is pretty much out …
Black and Gold – 1978 BMW R100RS
2-11 Update: After being relisted countless times, including some BIN offers, this BMW R100RS is back up for sale with an opening bid of $2,599. Hopefully the reserve is low enough to actually be sold this time here on eBay. The BMW R100RS was the flagship of BMW’s late 70s lineup. With the world’s first full factory fairing, it was …
Underrated – 1970 Suzuki Titan T500
Post-Listing Update: This Suzuki Titan T500 did not get any action at $7,999. One of the all time greats in classic Japanese motorcycle history, the Suzuki Titan T500 showed the world that a big displacement 2-stroker didn’t have to overheat. It was considered one of the most reliable motorcycles built in the 60s, but it always took a back seat …
2011 After Hours Custom
After Hours Bikes have made a name for themselves with truly custom bikes that aren’t for everyone. I have to admit, at first glance I wasn’t a fan, but after taking some time to really look at the work, I’m truly impressed with the quality of work, even if I’m not cool enough to rock one myself. This bike features …
Ducati Motocrosser – 1971 Ducati 450 R/T Desmo
Post-Sale Update: After 17 bids on eBay, this Ducati 450 R/T Desmo sold for $4,280. Not many people know it, but Ducati had a one-year, one-time-only foray into the world of motocross. The Ducati 450 R/T Desmo was created and imported after its American importer convinced them to bring a big thumper dirt racer to the states.
$100k Honda? – 1969 Honda CB750 Sandcast Prototype
Post-Sale Update: I had to bring this post to the top just to remind you all about this bike and share the final sale price. After 102 bids on eBay, this Honda CB750 Sandcast Prototype sold for $148,100. Wow. I normally don’t post on Saturday, but today I had to feature what might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity – one of …
Be Mickey Rourke – 1989 Harley-Davidson Marlboro Man Replica
Post-Sale Update: After 5 bids on eBay, this Harley-Davidson Marlboro Man Replica sold for $7,600. In the cult classic, Harley-Davidson and the Marlboro Man, Mickey Rourke turned a FXR into a silver screen legend. Here’s your chance to own a nice replica.
1972 Ducati 750GT Racer
Earlier this week we saw a lovely example of a 750GT street bike. Now we look at a converted (by who, we don’t know) 750GT into a race bike. With a conversion to desmo drive, you’ll also get 40mm Dell’ortos, Veglia racing tach, Marzocchi suspension, and more, you’ve got the start of a very cool race bike. Find this Ducati …
1 of 30 – 2005 MZ 1000S
Post-Sale Update: This MZ 1000S sold for $4,000 – to one of our own readers! Once the world’s biggest producer of motorcycles, MZ went bankrupt in May of last year. The last decade of its history was full of financial troubles, but the varying ownership had MZ constantly trying new things. In 1996, a Malaysian group took over and resolved …
1972 Harley-Davidson XRTT 750
2-9 Update: Guess the previous buyer fell through, as this Harley-Davidson XRTT 750 is back up for sale, this time with a BIN price of $75,000. Last time the reserve was met at $60k, maybe even lower – so you might get away with a similar price for Best Offer here on eBay. Post-Sale Update: After 10 bids on eBay, …
2001 Moto Guzzi California 1100EV Police
The Moto Guzzi California 1100EV is the result of a long history of Guzzis dating back to the the V7 in the early 1970s – surprisingly similar to previous Tonti framed bikes. Today we’ve got an unique option, one that’s been converted to police duty for the state of North Carolina, though they decided to instead go with a fleet …
1999 ATK 605 Enduro
In the world of air-cooled dirt-bikes, it’s harder to better off the showroom floor than with an ATK – a boutique manufacturer with an emphasis on top-shelf parts and minimum weight.
They’re Almost Here – 2014 Royal Enfield Continental GT
The Royal Enfield Continental GT is coming, and you should be excited. The lightest, fastest, and most powerful Enfield being produced, it’s the first truly new model in a long, long time. A bike that’s more about heritage than outright speed, it’s going to appeal to only a very small chunk of the American motorcycling market – I’m very curious …
Museum Quality – 1983 Suzuki XN85 Turbo
Every once in a while, the fantastic Solvang Vintage Motorcycle Museum makes some changes and offers one of their bikes for sale. Currently, they’ve got a Ducati 888 and this very rare Suzuki XN85, one of just 300 that were brought to the United States – only 1,153 were ever sold, in total. It was the first factory bike to feature …
