Post-Listing Update: This Moto Morini 3 1/2 Sport was removed from eBay, final sale price unknown. If I created some sort of “Dictionary of Motorcycling”, the Moto Morini 3 1/2 Sport would be the primary example of a cult classic. Cycle World said it best when they stated “For the lucky few, the Morini is worth what it costs.”
1994 Bimota DB2
Post-Listing Update: This Bimota DB2 did not attract any attention at the opening bid of $14,000. One of the few 100% Italian Bimotas of the 90s, the DB2 featured a 900cc 2 valve Ducati engine (best known for its usage in the 900SS). It was never the fastest bike in the world, but for many the experience of owning a …
Ducati Motocrosser – 1971 Ducati 450 R/T Desmo
Post-Sale Update: After 17 bids on eBay, this Ducati 450 R/T Desmo sold for $4,280. Not many people know it, but Ducati had a one-year, one-time-only foray into the world of motocross. The Ducati 450 R/T Desmo was created and imported after its American importer convinced them to bring a big thumper dirt racer to the states.
1972 Ducati 750GT Racer
Earlier this week we saw a lovely example of a 750GT street bike. Now we look at a converted (by who, we don’t know) 750GT into a race bike. With a conversion to desmo drive, you’ll also get 40mm Dell’ortos, Veglia racing tach, Marzocchi suspension, and more, you’ve got the start of a very cool race bike. Find this Ducati …
2001 Moto Guzzi California 1100EV Police
The Moto Guzzi California 1100EV is the result of a long history of Guzzis dating back to the the V7 in the early 1970s – surprisingly similar to previous Tonti framed bikes. Today we’ve got an unique option, one that’s been converted to police duty for the state of North Carolina, though they decided to instead go with a fleet …
1975 Ducati 750GT
The Ducati 750GT was the first of Ducati’s venerable V-twins, and its lovely lines set the stage for classics like the 750 Sport and 900SS.
Be Like Max – 1996 Aprilia RS250 Chesterfield Edition
If you’ve had your heart set on a Aprilia RS250, some think it doesn’t get better than the Max Biaggi replica Chesterfield Edition. One of the best-handling bikes ever made, Aprilia worked their chassis magic around a reworked engine from a Suzuki RGV250. It produced a nutty 69 horsepower from a 250cc 2-stroke engine, and redlines at 12,000rpm (which is …
1957 Bianchi Tonale 175
Post-Sale Update: After 10 bids on eBay, this Bianchi Tonale 175 sold for $5,900. Founded in the 19th century, Bianchi is now primarily known as a bicycle manufacturer. But for 70 years, the company made motorcycles – and they even had 5 solid years of racing success in the 20’s. Motorcycle production stopped in 1967 and the rights went to …
Italian Woody – 2009 Ducati Monster 1100 S
Post-Sale Update: This Ducati Monster 1100 S is now marked as sold – final sale price unknown. From a visceral standpoint, I believe the Monster has become worse with every generation (kind of like the new Mini Coopers, but that’s a story for another day). With that said, the new Ducati Monster 1100 S is still a fun bike that’s …
1986 Ducati 750 F1 Montjuich
Post-Listing Update: Despite 34 bids getting up to $18,911.88, this Ducati 750 F1 Montjuich did not meet reserve on eBay. The 750 F1 is already a rare, classic Ducati, but today we take it one step further. Ducati produced three limited editions of the F1, and the Ducati 750 F1 Montjuich was the first and rarest.
1 of 300 – 1997 Ducati 916 Senna II
1-30 Update: Alright, it’s back again – but the seller doesn’t seem interested in adjusting his price, so it’s the last time we’ll feature it. Find this Senna II for sale for $23,600 here on eBay. 12-21 Update: This Ducati 916 Senna II is back up for sale here on eBay at the same BIN price of $23,600. In honor …
“Barn Find”, 2 Miles – 1998 Ducati 748L Neiman Marcus Edition
Post-Listing Update: This Ducati 748L Neiman Marcus Edition was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown. The little brother of the bike that put Ducati back on the map, the 748 was produced in many variations. None were more rare than the Ducati 748L, also known as the Neiman Marcus edition. Only 100 were produced in 1998, and they …
2014 Moto Guzzi California 1400 Touring
Post-Sale Update: Just a few hours in and it’s gone. Final sale price unknown. Well, this has to be the newest bike I’ve ever featured. Packing the biggest engine that Guzzi makes, the Moto Guzzi California 1400 Touring is Italy’s take on a cruiser that you can (gently) throw around a curve.
Middleweight Track Weapon – 2006 Ducati 749R
The Ducati 749R was a limited edition of the 749 that initially came out to varying opinions with regards to styling. When it came to performance, however, everyone agreed that this middleweight was an absolute joy. With 121 horsepower and 62 pound-feet of torque, the R’s got several upgrades and the production number stamped on the triple tree.
1953 MV Agusta 125 Super Sport
Restored to incredible specifications, this 1953 MV Agusta 125 Super Sport had previously traveled in Italy’s famous Moto Giro. The gas tank has just been sealed, the seat is a custom unit, and you’ll even get the original bill of sale paperwork from over 50 years ago – all very cool. However, this bike has been on eBay a few …
