Needs Some Work – 1974 Ducati 750 GT
Everyone seems to love the 750 GT, but this one’s going to require a little bit of work. It’s received a ‘full cosmetic restoration’ in the last 12 months, but it has not been started in at least 7 years. If you’ve got some mechanical skills, this could be your chance to pick up a classic Duc for relatively cheap… …

Post Sale Update: This SPS sold for $11,900 after 9 bids on eBay.

Ending Soon – 1960 Motom Junior

Original Owner – 1974 Ducati Super Sport Green Frame
Post-Listing Update: Within a day, this Super Sport was pulled off of Craigslist. I wonder if it sold or if the seller is trying another method to get the word out… There are plenty of motorcyclists out there who believe it doesn’t get better than this – the original Ducati Super Sport. Here’s the first opportunity I’ve had to feature …
Perfect Patina – 1972 Ducati 750 GT
The Ducati 750 GT is a wonderful bike, but inevitably it seems that any decent ones for sale have been restored. That’s why I’m excited to present this 750 GT, which is in original, unrestored condition. It’s claimed to run like new but the cosmetics show a lovely amount of wear.
2000 Moto Guzzi Quota
As a R1150GS owner myself, I’m a big fan of large displacement dual-sports, particularly of the opposite-cylinder variety. This big V-Twin checks all the right boxes for an all-rounder, with the added benefit that you’re going to stand out from the GSes with a bike this rare.
BikeEXIF Feature – 2003 Ducati 999VX – Venier Customs
Starting with a 999S racebike, Stefano Venier of Venier Customs ditched the plastics and turned it into a naked (and much more elegant) streetbike called the Ducati 999VX.
1980 Ducati Darmah SSD
Post-Sale Update: After 11 bids on eBay, this Ducati Darmah SSD sold for $13,500. After the classic 750 GT of the 70s, Ducati looked to evolve with a simpler engine, and they ended up with the first ‘square case’ bevel twin – the 860 GT. It was a commercial flop, so just a few years later, the Ducati 900 SD …

10-28 Update: It seems this Laverda has made its way to a dealership that has cleaned the bike up, taken better photos, and now wants a BIN of $6,495 or best offer. Find it here on eBay. Post-Sale Update: After 24 bids on eBay, this Carenata sold for $3334.99. Here’s one I never knew about – the Laverda 750 Carenata. …
Rare in the US – 1988 Cagiva Tamanaco
Post-Listing Update: This Tamanaco did not meet reserve despite 42 bids up to $2,226. Never officially imported to the US, the Cagiva Tamanaco was a diminutive dual-sport that looks like an absolute blast. Look at the stickers on this thing! “Fun & Function”, “Soft Damp”, “Twin Cooler”. Talk about a perfect example of the 80s. On top of all of …
“New In Crate” – 1987 Bimota DB1SR
The first all Italian Bimota, the DB1 was crucial in the firm’s history, as its commercial success saved Bimota from near-certain bankruptcy. Despite the confusing “RS” on the fairing, this is a higher spec version called Bimota DB1SR which is brand new.
1970 Ducati Mark 3 450
Post-Sale Update: After being relisted, this Ducati Mark 3 450 sold for $7,495. The Mark 3 (particularly the 250) is considered by some to be one of the prettiest bikes ever made. When Ducati released their 450cc engine (the biggest of the bevel drive singles) in 1969, they also introduced the Ducati Mark 3 450.
1967 Cimatti S50
Post-Sale Update: This Cimatti sold for $2,713.99 after 51 bids on eBay. It seems appropriate that a week before Halloween we set a bike all dolled-up in orange and black. I haven’t been able to find much information on this bike, so any secondhand stories would be greatly appreciated. But this little beauty has just 808 miles and has spent …
