1979 Moto Guzzi 1000SP
One of the better touring bikes in its day, the Moto Guzzi 1000SP Spada typically falls under the radar of some of the more classic Guzzi names. Then again, every once in a while a guy like George Dockray gets his hands on one and then turns it into an absolute beauty.
Like the Prototype – 1973 Ducati 750GT Custom

3 Years Brand New – 2012 Aprilia Mana 850 GT
One of Aprilia’s least-known bikes, the Mana featured a 839cc that produced 54 horsepower and…a 7-speed automatic transmission. Unlike the auto found in Honda’s current offerings, though, the Mana features button shifters for your left hand AND the usual foot shifter. For more on the Mana, check out this review from Motorcycle.com, which ponders if this bike is some sort …
$10k for 4 Bikes – Vertemati Collection
Vertemati is not a well known company, but they used to make some very high-strung exotics. Here’s four of those exotics from the 2002 model year so you can start a collection of bikes that are silly fast, very rare, and maintenance-heavy.
1972 Moto Guzzi V7 Sport
Post Listing Update: This V7 Sport was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown. My favorite Guzzi, the Moto Guzzi V7 Sport is still one of the most famous Guzzis ever made. Produced in small numbers (about 3,500) for only three years, it represented a change in focus for the firm. After years of truck-like bikes such as the …
Never Titled – 1985 Ducati 750F1A
#499 out of the 593 ‘A’ models, this Ducati 750F1 has impressively gone 30 years with just 361 miles and without being titled – though you’ll get the MSO.
One-Off Paint – 1983 Bimota SB4
The Bimota SB4 was Italy’s take on the Suzuki GSX-R 1100 of the time, following their tradition of giving excellent Japanese engines a worthy chassis.
2001 GRC Moto MV Agusta F4
I know what it looks like, but these things are deceptively fast. GRC Moto has been producing excellent mini motos (they call them midis) for decades, and here’s an example being offered up by the original owner. Unfortunately, I don’t know enough about mini bikes to tell which model this is, but it’s amusingly decaled up to look like a …
1 of 5 – Target Design MV Agusta 750S
Target Design was formed back in 1979 after 3 ex-BMW stylists (including the legendary Hans Muth) decided to split off and try things on their own. They almost immediately made a name for themselves by winning a competition from German magazine Motorrad about what motorcycles would look like in the future. Their winning design (called the ED-1, ED stood for …
2006 Ducati Paul Smart
Post Listing Update: This Paul Smart was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown. In the past I’ve featured multiple Paul Smarts and Bike-urious readers keep telling me that the riding position is silly and that the bike throws up a tremendous amount of heat. Yet I find these bikes to be so beautiful that I almost don’t even …
Brand New – Mondial Piega 1000
A niche Italian manufacturer that specialized in high performance, small displacement bikes between the 40s and the 70s, Mondial made their name with World Championship road racers in the 50s, and motorcycles like the Mondial 200 Super Sport. The company went out of business in 1979, but was brought back to life in 2000 by a Italian newspaper tycoon, and …
2 Rare Modern Ducks – MH900e and Paul Smart 1000LE
Here’s an interesting package deal for two of the most collectible motorcycles that Ducati has made in the last 25 years – the MH900e and the Paul SMart 1000LE.
1989 Aprilia Project 108 Replica AF1
In the 1985, Aprilia started outsourcing some of their engine production to Rotax – the AF1 was one of the earlier results of this partnership. After Loris Reggiani won the first World Speed Championship with an AF1, Aprilia released the Project 108 Replica.
2012 Ducati Multistrada Pikes Peak
Though this bike is from 2012, Ducati still offers the “Pikes Peak” variant of the Multistrada, as they’re now celebrating multiple victories at the famous race in Colorado. The special edition basically takes the mechanical components of the Multi “S” and then adds the special livery which mimics the paint scheme of the factory race bikes. This example (VIN: ZDM12BLW3CB015759) …
