This 916 is claimed to be one of the first three imported into the US, and the very bike that Ducati used as the display model for the 1995 Chicago motorcycle show.
Silence is Golden – Bike Review of the 2016 Zero FXS
View Post2015 Norton Commando 961 Sport
The ‘base model’ (quite a relative term in this case) of the Norton Commando 961, the Sport lacks some of the extras seen on the SF or Cafe Racer like a carbon chainguard, upside down forks, and remote Brembo master cylinders. I think you’ll get over it though, thanks to the beautiful styling, 80 horsepower 961cc engine, and the knowledge …
1982 Ducati 900 Super Sport

Post Sale Update: This Super Sport sold for $23,000 on eBay. The Ducati 900SS was built as a sportier version of the 860GT, it was …
Concours Quality – 1966 BMW R50/2
According to the seller of this R50/2, this bike is a concours quality restoration that has preserved the original factory pinstriper’s initial under the tank. The photos make this bike look great, but the asking price is 50% higher than I’ve seen for other restored examples.
The Mud Dauber – 1999 HD Sportster 1200 Custom
Post-Listing Update: Despite 46 bids on eBay, the Mud Dauber did not meet reserve with bidding up to $11,600. Built to “ride like a supermoto or dirt bike”, the Mud Dauber is a Sportster scrambler custom that took a year to build. For what it’s worth, dauber is defined as “a crude or inartistic painter.”
Well Modified – 2015 Kawasaki KLR650
I sometimes don’t give the KLR enough credit as a workhorse dual-sport because I prefer the XR. But if you had your heart set on a modern KLR, this is a pretty damn good one to pick up!
Restored – 1972 Honda CB450
The K5 model of the CB450, the 1972 model was a gradual evolution of the famous Black Bomber. Over the years, a moderate amount of changes were made – megaphone mufflers, rubber fork gaiters, and a front disk brake were added over time, along with other cosmetic changes like paint colors and sidecover emblems. By 1970 (when the K3 was …
1905 Indian Camelback
Post-Listing Update: This Camelback did not meet reserve with bidding up to $55,100. Named for the ‘hump’ on the back, which is the fuel tank for the 2.25 horsepower single, the Indian Camelback was produced in various guises until 1909, when a ‘normal’ gas tank was used.
1995 BMW R100R Mystic
Available only in 1994 and 1995 in the US, the Mystic was a factory custom based on the BMW R100R. The changes were entirely cosmetic, but they were not insignificant. Nowadays a ‘special edition’ just means new paint, but the Mystic actually had several restyled parts. Some people don’t get what the big fuss is about this bike, and I …
Mild ISDT Custom – 1973 Hodaka Combat Wombat
Post-Sale Update: This Combat Wombat sold for $1,201 after 35 bids on eBay. The only thing cooler than a Combat Wombat is a Combat Wombat that’s been given a mild ISDT treatment. The seller (a Bike-urious regular) has owned it for 5 years and only used it for slow trail rides. However, the gas was drained in October 2015 and …
1966 Harley-Davidson Sportster XLCH
The XLCH is one of the jewels of the Sportster model line. The CH is affectionately referred to as “Competition Hot” by some and it had a few changes from the XLH, notably a different tank and seat, as well as the removal of electric start and the battery. Both models were introduced in 1958 – the CH was a …
Never Ridden – 1972 AJS Stormer 410
Post Listing Update: This Stormer did not get any interest at the BIN of $10,000. The pictures in this listing are shit, but this does provide the rare opportunity for you to get an unridden 44 year old British off-roader…if you’re into that.
1978 Kawasaki KZ1000 Z1R
Post Sale Update: this Z1R sold for $11,500 after 13 bids on eBay. The Kawasaki KZ1000 Z1R was the brainchild of Wayne Moulton, known as the “Father of the Japanese Cruiser.” His belief was that a solid motorcycle could be moderately tweaked to form four versions, one of which is a sport-tourer.
1977 Bultaco Pursang MK10
By the time Bultaco had got to the 10th version of the Pursang, you could order one in 125, 200, 250, and 370cc versions. This replica of the factory race bikes is based on a 250cc, meaning it was a Model 192 in Bultaco’s language of internal designations.
