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.

1 of 300 – 1997 Ducati 916 Senna II

“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 …

Marco! – 2000 Aprilia RS250 Cup
The Aprilia RS250 Cup is by far, the most race-oriented of the street-legal 250s sold in the US. Built from 1995-2002, it was designed to pay homage to Aprilia’s success in the 250 GP championships. Powered by a modified Suzuki 250cc originally designed by Rotax, Aprilia made some of their own changes and made one of the most desirable 250’s …
Dual-Sport Ducati – 1987 Cagiva Elefant 650
Post-Listing Update: This Elefant got no love at the opening bid. The Cagiva Elefant is an interesting odd-ball – an Italian dual-sport with the heart of a Ducati. Available with a 900cc or 650cc engine, this is definitely the most unique option compared to the KLR, DRZ, and XL/XR options available from Japan.
1968 Benelli Fireball 50
Post-Listing Update: This Benelli Fireball 50 did not get any action at the opening bid of $1,500.

1957 MV Agusta Super Pullman
Post Sale Update: After 39 bids on eBay, this MV Agusta Super Pullman sold for $3,350. Though MV Agusta is typically known for large-displacement super sports, they focused plenty of their efforts on small two-strokes in the 50s and 60s. The MV Agusta Super Pullman, despite the name, was not simply an upgrade of the 125cc Pullman model. A completely …
Paralzyed Twin – 1977 Ducati 500 GTL
Post-Sale Update: This Ducati 500 GTL was pulled off eBay. Final sale price is unknown.

1 of 150 – 2007 Ducati 999S Team USA Replica
The Ducati 999S Team USA Replica was a very limited edition of the Italian firm’s superbike of the time. Built to commemorate Ducati’s participation in the AMA, this bike was unfortunately nothing more than a cosmetic package built surprisingly around the S, and not the 999R model. With a MSRP of $19,999, Ducati released only 150 examples of the Team …
