More from the incredible collection of Michael Harper-Smith – I think I’m obligated to share when he puts something up for sale. Will he ever run out? In 1954, Moto Morini introduced a series of bikes that were all named after Italian card games – Settebello (7 of Diamonds), Biscola (Trumps), and in 1958 – the Tresette (Three Sevens), which …

Cavani-Designed – 1954 DKW RT125
In the 1930s, DKW was the world’s largest motorcycle manufacturer. In 1939, they released the RT125 – it would go one to be one of the most popular motorcycles in the world, but for a reason you might not expect.
1952 MV Agusta Sport E
Remember Gary Kohs collection of MV Agustas – 71 beautiful bikes that he turned down an offer of $800,000 for during an auction in Monterey in 2012? The next year, he ended up auctioning off everything individually through a separate auction in Vegas and he got a total of nearly $850,000. I bring all this up because this Sport E …

879 Miles – 1957 Maico Blizzard 250
Most people associate Maico with a series of world-beating off road bikes. But they also made road bikes, each of which was named after a “wind”, as in a weather feature. So say hello to the Maico Blizzard 250.
1986 Honda Nighthawk S
Also known as the CB700SC, the Nighthawk S was an interesting bike designed to avoid the 45% tax imposed on imported bikes of 700cc or bigger. Despite the ‘smaller’ engine, this bike was faster than many of its 750cc competitors, and the press loved it. Honda killed this bike after only a couple of years, leaving it to become a …

View Post1972 Suzuki RV90 Rover
Post Listing Update: This Rover did not get any interest at the opening bid of $1,000. Known in other markets as the Van Van, the RV90 Rover is an adorable dual sport (this is plated and street legal in California) that featured 10″ wide tires and (according to Suzuki) “the ability to go anywhere you point it.”
US Forest Service – 2004 Gas Gas FSE 450
Ask 10 different dirt riders who makes the best enduro and you’ll probably get 8 different answers.
