Ending Soon – 1965 Bultaco Metralla 62
The first generation of the famous Metralla, the ’62’ had a 200cc engine, 4 speed transmission, and a single leading shoe front brake. The Mk2 was arguably bigger/better in every way, but the first generation bikes are so rare that they still command impressive prices, and Bultaco fans seem to love them.
1983 BMW R80ST
Edit: Sorry, seems like this bike is already been taken off eBay. The street based brother of the R80G/S, the BMW R80ST did not sell particularly well – only 5,963 were built over two years. But it’s become a bit of a cult classic, and plenty of owners feel that this was the best handling motorcycle BMW had made up …
Randy Grubb’s Decopod Prototype
Well, it looks like this Prototype was won at the Boone County Swap Meet Auction and the winner is trying to resell it on eBay.

Needs Some Work – 1962 NSU Supermax 250

Fast forward four years and NSU introduced the Supermax, which featured a 18 horsepower single good for a top …

Never Imported – 2000 Yamaha TRX850
The TRX850 was a little bit of a ‘parts bin’ special – it was a blend of the TDM850 and the FZR that came together in an attempt to challenge Ducati’s 900cc SuperSport (note the trellis frame). If you’re looking to stand out with your ride among people in the know, here’s your chance to get a bike that Motorcycle …
1948 Hiawatha Super Doodle Bug
Post Listing Update: This Doodle Bug did not get any interest at the opening bid of $3,500. Built between ’46 and ’48, the Hiawatha Super Doodle Bug was built to compete with Allstate-branded Cushman scooters. As the latter were being distributed out of Sears, the Doodle Bugs were sold out of the now-defunct Gambles retail chains under the Hiawatha brand …
Custom Cafe Racer – 2001 Ducati Monster
Here’s an interesting custom that’s based on a 750 Monster (which unfortunately has a salvage title). The tank and rear shock are from a 999, and the front forks and rotors are from a S4R. The headlight is from a Harley V-Rod, and the whole thing comes together thanks to a beautiful “Allusion Blueberry” powdercoating job. This bike definitely won’t …

1986 Honda Interceptor VFR700F
The VFR750F was one of the best sport bikes of the 80s – it won best 750cc sport bike from Cycle World 6 years in a row. But due to the drastic tax that was placed on bikes larger than 700cc at the time, it was a bit expensive. Honda thus created the VFR700F, a little brother/tariff beater that was …
