Post Listing Update: This custom Ducati did not meet reserve despite 27 bids up to $7,100 on eBay in Pacoima, California. This was the first of a Ducati in-house customization called “Maverick”, in which the Italian firm asks “maverick artists” to customize the Scrambler. This was done by GRIME, who is apparently a celebrity tattoo artist that has a waiting …
1963 Garelli Rex KL75
Post Listing Update: This Garelli Rex KL75 did not get any interest at the BIN of $2,500. American Rex Corporation used to be located at 1216 Monte Diablo Avenue in San Mateo, California.

Rare Project – 1964 Benelli Fireball Trail 50
Post Listing Update: This Benelli did not get any interest at the BIN of $1,275 on eBay in Longmeadow, Massachusetts. Benelli made the Fireball 50 (also sold as the confusingly-named Montgomery Wards 450SS) as a streetbike, but the Fireball Trail was its scrambler sibling with a one-person seat, high exhaust, and rounded styling.
2003 Ducati ST4S
Post Listing Update: This ST4S did not meet reserve despite 33 bids up to $4,950 in Jacksonville, Florida. A sportbike with practicality, the ST4s was introduced in 2001 as Ducati’s top-of-the-line touring bike, distinguishing itself with the 4-valve 996cc superbike motor and Ohlins rear shock. That was paired with fully adjustable Showa fork, color-matched luggage, and the other features that …

Never Been Titled – 1993 Moto Guzzi Daytona
Dr. John Wittner made a name for himself in the late 80’s thanks to his ability to modify the hell out of MG’s – his bikes won consecutive US Endurance Championships, among other racers.

“Griso Americano” – 2015 Moto Guzzi Griso Custom
Dubbed the “Griso Americano” by its builder to “play on the Italian heritage and American spin,” this customized Griso offers a red/white/blue twist to one of my favorite machines from Moto Guzzi. What do you think about it?
1978 Ducati 900 Super Sport Darmah
Post Listing Update: This SSD did not meet reserve despite 21 bids up to $11,350 on eBay in Grand Rapids, Michigan. 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 …

1993 Ducati 888 SPO

Just 390 were built …

“1100SS” – 1994 Moto Guzzi California Custom
One of Moto Guzzi’s most popular machines in the last several decades is the 1000S, but that’s also why prices are high and they can be hard to track down. An owner of this California has made it a “modern take” on the S – what do you think of it?
196K Miles – 1991 Ducati 900SS Project
Post Sale Update: This 900SS sold for $1,450 on Iconic Motorbike Auctions in Santa Monica, California. This 900SS may never be more than a project ever again, but I just have to share that it has covered 196,546 miles – all with the same owner!
Free Shipping to the US – 1972 Moto Guzzi Nuovo Falcone
Post Listing Update: This Nuovo Falcone did not get any interest at the BIN of $6,950 on eBay.
