Post-Listing Update: This F3 Ago did not get any action at the opening bid of $24,598. A limited run of the newest F3, the “Ago” is signed by Agostini himself on the tank. Just 300 will be sold, and the differences are pretty much just cosmetic, though it is 5 pounds lighter than the base bike thanks to forged OZ …
1971 Ducati Silver Shotgun
Thanks to its distinctive silver metal flake fiberglass bodywork, Two Wheels called this the Desmo Mark 3 the Ducati Silver Shotgun. It’s one of the rarest desmo singles and it’s quite visually stunning.
926cc – 1995 Ducati 916 Custom
Here’s an impressively modified Ducati 916 that was modified with plenty of top-notch period parts.
Plated 50cc – 2003 Aprilia RS50
The Aprilia RS50 is pretty much as good as it gets with 50cc “supersports”. The styling has always aped the styling of its liter-bike bigger brother, but the proportions can look a bit off because of that: Still, the 49cc two-stroke engine is powerful enough to get the bike up to about 65 mph once it’s been derestricted, and today …
The First Ducati – 1949 Ducati Cucciolo
The first motorcycle model ever released by the Italian firm, the Ducati Cucciolo was introduced in March 1946 out of the Borgo Panigale factory. One year later they were winning races with Glauco Zitelli at the helm, and a year after that the Cucciolo was being imported into the US.
Restored – 1997 Ducati 916
The Ducati 916 needs no introduction, but I’ve always considered it to be a bit of a revelation.
2000 Moto Guzzi V11 Sport Custom
Here’s an interesting Moto Guzzi Custom Cafe Racer from the folks at Santiago Chopper. I’ve featured a custom Guzzi from Santiago before, but this one’s based on a V11 Sport.
Mini Chopper – 1986 Laverda CU 125 Custom Ride
Normally the Laverda marque evokes thoughts of big triples with excellent style and exhaust notes. This is why I was especially stunned to discover this diminutive chopper – the Laverda CU 125 Custom Ride.
1958 MV Agusta Raid 300
Originally introduced as a 250cc model, the MV Agusta Raid 300 brought an increase in displacement as well as new fenders, tank, and exhaust to make it an even better long distance mount.
Needs Some Work – 1974 Laverda 750 SF Racer
Here’s a Laverda 750 SF race bike that last competed about 15 years ago. The seller suggests that it just needs a battery and some gas before it’s ready for the road, however there’s some cosmetic work that will need to be done as well – a fall in the garage damaged the fairing and windscreen and there’s a dent …
1982 Benelli 125 Sport
Featuring an air-cooled two stroke 125cc twin, a 5-speed transmission, and a slightly-too-large front fairing, the Benelli 125 Sport was a little rocket for the road. Here’s an example (VIN: 11443) with a rebuilt motor (with no miles on it), documentation from an Italian mechanic, and 2 boxes of spare parts. Find this Benelli 125 Sport for sale here at …
Original Owner – 1974 Ducati 750SS Green Frame
After not seeing one of these for sale for about a year, here’s the third Green Frame I get to share in as many weeks! You all know the story with this bike, so let’s just get to the good stuff – it’s an original owner bike with 5,880 miles, complete with a letter from the seller stating that he …
1998 Bimota SB6R
The Bimota SB6R was an uprated version of the SB6, Bimota’s most popular bike – though for a niche Italian manufacturer, “popular” is a relative term (only 600 units were produced). The SB6R was only produced from 1997-1998, and in many eyes it’s the pinnacle of classic Bimota motorcycles – brutal power from a Japanese engine with the style of …
2007 Bimota Tesi 3D
One of the most distinctive-looking motorcycles you’ll ever see, the Bimota Tesi 3D features a hub-steering front suspension that has been a defining feature of the model.
1958 Ducati 200 Elite
Post-Listing Update: This Elite did not meet reserve at $16,110 on eBay. I know I featured a couple of these just a few days ago, but this Elite is an absolute gem. The Ducati 200 Elite was the Italian firm’s largest-displacement bike when it was introduced – a whopping 204cc when they bored out the popular 175cc engine.
