Reader Zack B. sent this to me saying that as a TLR guy, he loves this bike. And for good reason! Powered by the TL’s wonderful V-Twin (but then pumped up to 133 horsepower by the Italians), this bike was capable of hitting 170mph. You also got top notch components such as an Ohlins shock, Paioli forks, Brembo brakes, and …

1980 Ducati 900SS
This is a beautiful, relatively original example of a classic Ducati offered by a seller who gives great details, never overstates, and is very knowledgeable about his bike. That’s a great combination, which also means that the selling price won’t be cheap. There’s actually another 900SS available on eBay right now, but I believe this one stands out thanks to …
1968 Aermacchi CRTT 250
Aermacchi was originally called Aeronautica Macchi and formed to create seaplanes. Motorcycles entered the picture after World War II, and the Americans that are familiar with the company usually know it because HD bought 50% of the company in 1960 to get access to small bikes. Aermacchi released a limited number of racers for the North American market. Research suggests …
1974 Ducati 750 Sport
Post-Listing Update: This Ducati was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown. I’ve mentioned before that I usually don’t care for yellow on bikes, but it just works on this Ducati 750 Sport, which has been on display in a house for the last 16 years. Less than 1,500 miles ago it got a total tear down, though it’s …
1 of 500 – 1995 Aprilia RS250 Loris Reggiani Replica
I’ve already ravd about the Aprilia RS250, so I won’t bore you with those details again. This bike stands out because it’s #485 of the 500 Loris Reggiani Replicas – named after the man who first brought a Grand Prix victory to Aprilia. Take an already hard to find bike, make it a limited edition (with arguably the best paint …
1978 Benelli 750 Sei
Post Sale Update: After 29 bids on eBay, this Benelli 750 Sei sold for $10,675 The first production motorcycle to utilize six cylinders, the Benelli 750 Sei was the result of Alejandro De Tomaso (of sports car company fame), who had just purchased Benelli and wanted them to build a flagship. The inline six engine produced 71 horsepower, which was …
1 of 200 – 2013 MV Agusta F3 Serie Oro
As you probably know, Oro is Italian for gold – and this bike has plenty of it. Frame plates, SSSA, and the wheels all come together to help form the special paint scheme particular to this limited edition. The “Serie Oro” concept was pioneered with the F4 – it was a run of 300 that introduced MV Agusta’s resurrection to …
1986 Bimota DB1R
The factory works version of the DB1, the Bimota DB1R got improvements like magnesium parts, better engine inernals, 42mm carbs, and more. Just 9 were made (one was just sold as a frame to an ex-Bimota dealer), and 4 made it to the US. Here’s your chance to own 25% of the US inventory. While the listing identifies this as …
1970 Moto Guzzi Ambassador
Produced for just two years, the Ambassador was never as well known as bikes like the Eldorado. Built to target the American market, MG saw a way to compete with Harley with a 757cc variant of the venerable V-Twin. This specific example has 34,200 miles and has had a recent refresher, including a repaint in a lovely shade of green. …
100k Ducati? 1994 Ducati Supermono
Post-Sale Update: After being relisted, this Ducati Supermono sold for $125,500. Alright – I know yesterday was my “Ducati” day but when a Supermono comes up for sale, I can’t ignore it. In the majestic history of the Italian firm, the Ducati Supermono is one of the greats. Arguably one of the most collectable Ducatis ever produced, just 67 Supermonos …
1992 Ducati 888 SP4
Post Listing Update: Despite 27 bids on eBay, this SP4 did not meet reserve at $23,100. Though it stands in the shadow of the SPS variant, the Ducati 888 SP4 is one of the rarest Ducatis ever in the US. This is #465 and is believed to be just 1 of 4 in the country. This particular bike was up …
1967 Ducati 250 Scrambler
Post-Sale Update: After being relisted, this Ducati 250 Scrambler sold for $4,000 on eBay. I can faintly hear your concern…”Ducati day? But I wanted a bike that was as happy off-road as it was on-road.” Well, fear not, my friend, as we’ve got a Ducati 250 Scrambler for you to enjoy. This is a two-owner bike that’s enjoyed a “frame-off …
1974 Ducati 750 GT

1991 Bimota YB8
It’s hard for me not to feature a good-condition Bimota, but the Bimota YB8 is a lovely find especially considering I just showed off the 400cc Japan-only YB7 a couple of days ago. YB8 = the 8th Bimota with a Yamaha engine, in this case a 1000cc EXUP engine which yielded 148 horsepower. I find it very weird to see …
