Rare in Orange – 2008 MV Agusta Brutale 910S
Post Listing Update: This Brutale was pulled off of eBay because “the item was lost or broken.” The MV Agusta Brutale is an exquisite bike that garners a lot of attention – doubly so when adorned in orange, the rarest color offered in 2008. Estimates online peg the total number imported to be between 25 and 45 that year, though …

Based out of Madrid, Spain, Classic Co has been building some interesting customs since 1994. Their passion is in racing, and it shows in their builds. Here’s a beautiful vintage racer that started as a Moto Guzzi Le Mans.
Ending Soon – 1999 Bimota SB8R
Post Sale Update: This SB8R sold for $9,103 after 21 bids on eBay. I recently featured a SB8R as part of an Italian collection, but this one’s in better shape and the seller is a frequent participant on Bike-urious! Here’s #18 of the 250 built, and it fresh off a showing at the Quail Motorcycle Gathering.
1970 Laverda 750S
Let’s follow-up the Laverda museum from earlier this week with just one bike – but it’s one of the most important models of the marque. The 750S was one of Laverda’s first big bikes, and it was very quickly combined with the 750GT to become the legendary SF line.
1988 Ducati F1 750
First debuted at the 1985 Sydney Motorcycle Exhibition, this road going replica was an instant success. So much so that even the little sibling versions F3 350 and 400 were thrown into production in an attempt to cater to markets with more focus on smaller displacement machines.

2005 Ducati 749R
Post Listing Update: This 749R did not meet reserve despite 28 bids up to $10,100. The styling of Ducati’s 749R was polarizing: it seems like for every person that liked the way it looked, you could find four people who didn’t. But thanks to a slipper clutch, Ohlins suspension, and lower weight (despite a larger fuel tank) than the 749, …
The Gulf Classic – 2006 Ducati Monster 1000S
While it may be listed as a 2006 “Built Monster 1000s”, I’m calling this build “the Gulf Classic” for what should be obvious reasons.
2002 Ducati 998R
Post Sale Update: After 13 bids on eBay, this 998R sold for $23,100. In 2002, the 998R was Ducati’s halo sportbike. The Italian firm released just 700 examples of the model, which ended up being the last variant of the 916 lineage before the 999 took over in 2003. Cosmetic changes over the 998 were minimal but the Testastretta motor …

Moto-personality Alicia “The MotoLady” Elfving has teamed up with Sofi Tsingos of GT Moto to create this gorgeous, heavily-customized 2014 MV Agusta Brutale 800 that can be yours for as little as $25. Instead of just building another bad-ass build in today’s world that’s oversaturated with Instagram-worthy modern customs, Alicia and Sofi did something really cool (and admirable), they set …

Parilla is an Italian motorcycle company formed after World War II.

Some models were imported to the US, and supported by Cosmopolitan Motors until the late 60’s. This is a rare, twin-cylinder, 350cc “Clipper” model. Acccording to the …
1999 MV Agusta F4 750 Serie Oro
Back in 1999 MV Agusta relaunched their brand with the F4 Serie Oro (Italian for “Gold Series), a cutting edge bike at the time of which only 300 units would be produced with 60 of those units shipping to the US. The F4 was a product of legendary moto-designer and Bimota cofounder; Massimo Tamburini, shortly after he designed the iconic …
1972 Benelli 250 Super Sport
