Post-Listing Update: This GS1000E did not meet reserve with bidding up to $3,350 on eBay.

Smoke Silver – 1974 BMW R90S
Post Sale Update: This R90S sold for $11,500 after 15 bids on eBay. I adore the BMW R90S, which was a game-changer when it was released to the world.

Here’s a Knucklehead that was turned into a bobber by Carl’s Cycle Supply, renowned experts who have built award winning Knuckleheads and Panheads. The bike had originally been restored into a 97 point AMCA competitor, then turned into the bobber you see in front of you.
1981 Hesketh V1000
Post Listing Update: This Hesketh was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown. By 1981, England was almost irrelevant in the international game of motorcycle production.

1972 Kawasaki H2 750
Here’s an original example of the Kawasaki H2 that’s being offered with no reserve! This bike (VIN: H2F-12383) has 3,848 miles and everything works. The only non-original part is apparently a new set of reproduction pipes. The bodywork has been repainted, but the engine and frame do not match. Find this H2 for sale in San Marcos, California with bidding …
1925 Indian Scout
Post Sale Update: After 39 bids on eBay, this Scout sold for $27,600. In 1920, Indian introduced the Scout alongside the Powerplus to offer a smaller bike in its lineup.

2002 Ducati ST4S
There’s plenty of good reasons to feature a Ducati ST4S – but the reason I’m featuring this specific one (VIN: ZDM1TB5T12B006170) is because the listing makes me laugh. Check out the mannequin!
