Honda’s CR750 was an evolution of the ubiquitous CB750, sold in very limited numbers as kits to dealers to convert the stock bikes. Finding a genuine model is very difficult (and very expensive) nowadays, which is why riders often like to take current CB750s and turn them into their own versions of the CR. This one isn’t real, but it’s …
$3,430 Off – 2019 Husqvarna Svartpilen/Vitpilen 701
I’m a big fan of both the Vitpilen 701 and the Svartpilen 701, though an easy criticism is the $11,999 MSRP. But they sure get a lot more interesting if a dealer was knocking off $3,430 from the price…

In 2005, Ducati started exporting the 999R in earnest to satisfy the AMA homolgation requirements (the year before, just 50 were sold). For $29,995, this motorcycle was just about as close to a WSBK bike you could get.

Motowheels Project Bike – 2010 Ducati Streetfighter Custom
I’m personally a huge fan of the Ducati Streetfighter, in terms of both performance and aesthetics. While I’m excited to see the new production V4 Streetfighter come out soon, the models from a decade ago are still total gems of bikes. This particular 2010 Streetfighter features a ridiculously long list of more than five-dozen up-specced aftermarket parts. Practically every piece …

9-7-2019 Update: 9 months later, this interesting Guzzi has made its way on to eBay. The price has plummeted: last time I featured it, a dealer wanted $40,899. Now the BIN is $28,999.

Vintage Racer – 1963 Norton ES2
The seller of this bike became interested in old British bikes because of his father – as noted in an interview on the Mot’Art Journal, “he has an old Triumph 750cc Bonneville, and the smells and sounds that came from that beast had me hooked.” So he found a Featherbed frame on eBay and bonded with his dad as they …
