There’s plenty of good reasons to feature a Ducati ST4S – but the reason I’m featuring this specific one (VIN: ZDM1TB5T12B006170) is because the listing makes me laugh. Check out the mannequin!
2014 Ducati 1199 Superleggera
The ultra-exclusive (500 produced), even-better version of the Panigale R, the Ducati 1199 Superleggera was claimed by the Italian company to have the best power-to-weight ratio of any production motorcycle ever. With the fuel tank full, this bike weighs just 393 pounds, and you’re looking at about 186 horsepower. Unfortunately, I only found out about this auction with 6 hours …
1955 Gilera 150 Sport
1-10-2015 Update: This beauty is back up for sale with bidding up to $1,750 and the reserve not yet met here on eBay. Post-Listing Update: This Gilera 150 Sport got up to $3,650 but did not meet reserve. One of the prettiest bikes I’ve ever seen, the Gilera 150 Sport was a tiny Italian from back in the days when …
2006 Ducati Paul Smart
Post-Sale Update: This Ducati Paul Smart sold for a best offer under $25,800, exact price unknown. I simply cannot help myself whenever I see a Paul Smart. Here’s another example of the instant classic which was built as a tribute to the Green Frame 750SS – I think it’s one of the most beautiful motorcycles made in the last 25 …
Lucky Explorer – Cagiva Elefant
The Cagiva Elefant is already a cool bike. But add the Lucky Explorer livery and you’re on an different level of desire. The only problem? This bike is in Italy.
1987 Cagiva 650 Alazzurra
Produced for just three years, the Cagiva 650 Alazzurra was a rebadged Ducati street bike. Cagiva purchased Ducati in 1985, and was looking to grow their market share in larger-displacement bikes. Instead of building one from scratch, they used a 650cc version of the Pantah engine for both the Alazzurra and the Elefant. MSRP was $3,893, putting it slightly above …
“Il Castrolo” – Ducati Monster M750 Custom
Built by Foundry Motorcycle, this Ducati Monster M750 has been turned into an interesting street tracker.
1975 Ducati 860GT Custom
Post-Listing Update: This 860GT custom did not meet reserve at $17,950 after 26 bids. If only all bikes for sale had Phil Aynsley taking photos of them.
2000 Bimota SB8R-S
I’ve featured a couple of SB8R’s before – they’re almost “common” in the world of Bimotas, ignoring how the words common and Bimota should never be used in the same sentence. But the Bimota Bimota SB8R-S lives up to its name, by taking the base bike and slathering it carbon and special black paint in a limited production run of …
Centaur – 1998 Moto Guzzi Centauro Sport
Designed for the 75th anniversary of the MG factory, the Moto Guzzi Centauro was a limited production model (just 1918 ever built, 300 imported to the US) that was a sporty variant of the classic Italian cruiser with very distinctive bodywork, made out of bodywork that the factory advertised for some reason as 100% recyclable.
2003 Cagiva V-Raptor 1000
1-4-15 Update: This V-Raptor is back up for sale with nicer photos and a BIN of $6,500 or best offer here on eBay. The Cagiva V-Raptor was designed as alternative to the Ducati Monster – they were even styled by the same man. Though there are plenty of similarities, the Raptor comes with the V-Twin heart from a Suzuki TL.
2007 Ducati GT1000
An instant classic, the Ducati GT1000 matches an excellent 992cc 2V engine with retro styling. Here’s a “exceptional” example with just 578 miles on the odometer in the unique black and tan paint scheme. Find this GT1000 for sale (VIN: 008994) in Grants Pass, Oregon for $11,495 here at Automania.
1979 Moto Guzzi 1000SP
Post-Listing Update: This Moto Guzzi 1000SP cafe racer was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown. 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. I’ve already featured one example that was turned into an absolute beauty, but here’s an interesting …
1965 Ducati Monza 250
Here’s a “fully-restored” example of the last year of the Ducati Monza 250 before they became angular. It was used mostly as a show bike (and has apparently won its share of trophies), but now it’s your turn to hopefully get it back on the road for regular use. Note that the seller and I have different definitions of fully …
1982 Ducati 900 SD
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 Darmah was released, and it was a much better sport tourer. The SD (Sport …
