Post Listing Update: This 750GT did not meet reserve despite 33 bids up to $17,800. Ian Falloon doesn’t think model years are the best way to differentiate when it comes to the Ducati 750GT. Instead, he says there are three “production stages” that differ significantly enough to be considered separate. This “third production stage” 750GT was restored in 2009 and …
0 Miles – 2003 Aprilia RS250 GP1
Post Listing Update – this Aprilia did not meet reserve despite 21 bids up to $9,100. 5-3-2018 Update: Almost two years later, this basically-new RS250 is back up for sale – though the seller now calls it a 2003 model instead of a 2004. Find it still in Salinas, California with bidding up to $6,000 and the reserve not yet …
2010 Moto Guzzi California Vintage
Post Listing Update: This Cal Vin did not meet reserve despite 3 bids up to $5,200 on eBay. In 2006, Moto Guzzi brought back the California name for a new model, but the additional word of “Vintage” in the title tells you what this is all about – vintage styling with modern components.

1958 Moto Rumi Junior
Post Listing Update: This Rumi did not get any interest at the opening ask of $14,999. Rumi started building two-wheelers after WWII in direct response to Italy’s need for cheap transportation. The man in charge of two-wheel design (Donnino Rumi) was a sculptor, and you could see that in several of his designs – such as the Formichino scooter or …
2012 Moto Guzzi Griso 8V SE
Post Listing Update: This Griso did not meet reserve despite 6 bids up to $6,000. When it’s adorned in Tenni Green, the Moto Guzzi Griso is one of the most beautiful motorcycles in modern production. It’s more than a looker – in 2014 Cycle World compared the Indian Scout, Honda CB1100, BMW R9T, and the Griso. Even though the Guzzi …
2004 Moto Guzzi V11 Coppa Italia
Post Listing Update: This Coppa Italia did not get any interest at the BIN of $8,600. Consider me surprised. One of the rarest versions of the V11, the Coppa Italia was built to commemorate Guzzi’s challenge for the National Naked Bike Championship of the Roadster Cup in their home country of Italy in 2003. To properly pay tribute to a …
2016 Aprilia Tuono Factory
In 2015, Aprilia updated the Tuono with a 1,100cc motor, and it made a great bike even better. In their review, MCN summarized it as: “nothing short of sensational. It sums up what a super naked should be: the ultimate in sportsbike performance, all wrapped-up in a usable, practical road package. Power, torque, handling, braking, electronics and comfort are second …
First Ride – 2018 MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR
It’s expensive, exotic, and it makes you feel like royalty – the castle in the background doesn’t hurt, either. But is it worth almost $17 grand? If you’re simply looking for a high-performance naked motorcycle, the Brutale RR makes the Triumph Street Triple look like a bargain. If, however, you’re looking for art that moves you, MV’s “Motorcycle Art” will …
2000 Moto Guzzi V11 Sport
My recent post about the Guzzi museum and the upcoming festivities in Austin means that this is the perfect bike to combine the two. An evolution of the incredible V7 Sport, this Moto Guzzi V11 Sport was a heavy (546 pounds wet weight) bruiser of a sportbike that was distinctive and rare.
First Ducati Project – 1946 Ducati Cucciolo T1
Post Listing Update: Despite 14 bids up to $3,151, this little Ducati did not meet reserve. The story of Ducati motorcycles can be traced back to a man named Aldo Farinelli, who developed a small motor that could be mounted to a bicycle to help mobilize the people of Italy after World War II. He named the motor “Cucciolo” (Italian …
Union Motorcycles Build – 1993 Ducati 900SS Custom
Post Sale Update: This custom Ducati sold for $19,100 after 42 bids on eBay. Built at the beginning of the decade by Union Motorcycles (remember that they’re currently raffling off a lovely custom 60s Ducati 250), this custom 900SS was featured on several websites like Pipeburn before a collector in Carlsbad (who has owned some legends like a Cagiva 500 …
No Reserve – 2007 MV Agusta F4 Senna
Post Sale Update: This F4 Senna sold for $13,501 after 23 bids on eBay. If MV’s F4 1000R wasn’t exotic enough for you already back in 2007, you could splurge (MSRP was $29,995) for one of just 300 bikes built as a tribute the legendary Ayrton Senna. 65 examples were imported into the US.
Rebuilt Title Discount – 2006 Ducati Paul Smart 1000LE
Post Sale Update: After being relisted, this Paul Smart sold for a BIN of $13,000. This is the cheapest asking price I’ve seen for a Paul Smart in years, but there’s a good reason why – it’s been crashed and rebuilt. The seller explains the rebuild process (which includes a frame inspection by Dr. John), so if you like what …
