Buell’s first streetbike was the RR 1000 Battletwin, an evolution of the Road Warrior RW750 race bike that was abruptly killed off when AMA racing ended the Formula One class. When Harley developed the new 1,203cc Evo motor, Buell decided that was going to be the powerplant for his best-of-America streetbike. The RR1200 Battletwin was born, and a tuned version …

“Goliath” – 1980 Harley-Davidson XRTT
The XRTT was a fully-faired road-racing motorcycle based on Harley-Davidson’s XR750 flat tracker. With at most only two-dozen-or-so units produced in total (some say it was as little as 12), XRTT’s are incredibly rare finds. The story of this particular example, dubbed “Goliath”, starts back in ’79 when Alan Sputhe joined forces with Vance Breese to take the XRTT to …
R80GS Tribute – 1983 BMW K100 Custom
November Customs is based in a small town in Northeast of England comprised of husband and wife team, Paul and Linda.

Back in February of this year, the shop had two separate builds featured on BikeEXIF: a Ducati 350 Scrambler restomod, and an endurance-style …

2011 Suzuki TU250X
I often sing the praises of small displacement bikes, but there are only a handful I would actually own. When I did my motorcycle training course years ago, the instructor handed me what ended up being one of the most fun, well balanced and charming bikes I had ever ridden. I ended up getting 100% on my riding test at …

New Auction Bike – 1992 Honda VFR400 Smokin’ Joe’s Custom
At first glance, it’d be fair to assume that today’s auction bike is the CBR600F3 that Honda offered with a Smokin’ Joe’s livery as a tribute to Miguel Duhamel’s race bike. But look closely and you’ll see that things aren’t what they seem!
New Auction Bike – 1983 Honda Motocompo

Post Listing Update: This Rosso Mandello did not meet reserve despite 9 bids up to $5,600 on eBay in Oakland, California. The V11 Sport is already a rare motorcycle, but the Moto Guzzi V11 Sport Rosso Mandello takes it one step further.

In New Zealand – 1982 Krauser MKM 1000
Post Listing Update: Thought it’s been relisted several times, this MKM has not been able to get a buyer at the BIN of $24,500. The Krauser name is best known for luggage, but in the early 80s Mike Krauser decided that he wanted to build a world-beating road bike. He started with his favorite road bike at the time, a …
1977 MV Agusta 750S America
View Post1985 Honda Shadow 1100 with Boat Sidecar
The original Shadow 1100 was a fine motorcycle, good enough that Honda kept it around until 2007 with very few changes. Still, it’s not the kind of bike I’d typically feature here. However, I have to make an exception for this example, as it’s got a sidecar which doubles as a powered boat!
