Post Listing Update: This CB750 got no interest at the asking price of $49,000. Vic World has earned himself the nickname of “Mr. CB750” thanks to decades of expertise and restorations of sandcast motors. In his words, “we take those parts and assemble a dream. The restored bike will look, run, and feel virtually identical to the legendary machines that …

For a Good Cause – 1975 Yamaha RD350
For those of us of a certain age, this was THE bike to have. It wasn’t the biggest or the baddest bike of the mid-70’s but in the right hands, it could run with anything in the twisties.
#69 – 1999 Excelsior-Henderson Super X
If you like Excelsior-Henderson but you don’t have the coin to buy the entire brand, maybe I can interest you in this early production example of the Super X, an attempt to bring the company back in the late 90s.
1992 Bimota YB8
Post Listing Update: This YB8 was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown. YB8 = the 8th Bimota with a Yamaha engine, in this case a 1000cc EXUP, 20-valve engine which yielded 149 horsepower. I find it very weird to see the “EXUP” logo on an Italian bike, but there is something to be said for Japanese reliability with …
In Italy – 1954 Norvin
10-16-17 Update: A month later, this Norvin is back up for sale.

931 Miles – 1983 BMW R80ST
BMW’s R80GS started a revolution in the world of big adventure bikes, but the German firm was only able to sell 5,963 examples of a street-based brother (R80ST) in two years. Decades later, the ST is a cult classic and many owners think it’s actually the best handling motorcycle BMW had made up to that point. This is one of …

Here’s one of the rare quad builds, which does not require …
1981 Vespa P200E with Globe Sidecar
The most popular of the classic Vespas in the US, the “P-series” debuted in 1977 with 125, 150, and 200cc variants. The frames were the same – all that different was the motor and the model name. For the American market, Vespa equipped all of the options (turn signals, 12V electrics, auto oil injection). In the early 80s, Vespa introduced …
Ending Soon – 1965 Harley-Davidson FLH

It was also the year that this beautiful FLH was built, which means it is one of just 6,900 examples. This bike still looks great thanks to a …
“Skyway” – 1979 BMW R80 Custom by Hutchbilt
I’ll start off by saying that the aesthetic of this build doesn’t work for me, but styling is subjective and I do like things that are different. This is definitely different, and it’s the work of Jeremy Hutch of Hutchbilt. What do you think?
