Moped Army considers the Puch Magnum to be one of the most sought-after mopeds of all time. Here’s your chance to snap up a near-mint condition example.
2007 MV Agusta F4 Senna
A special edition of the already wonderful F4 1000R, the MV Agusta F4 1000 Senna was built to honor the late Ayrton Senna. The MSRP of $29,995 bought you one of just 300 bikes in the production run.
1973 Penton Six Day
Post-Sale Update: After 30 bids on eBay, this Penton sold for $3,176. The Penton Six Day was a very important motorcycle – it was the start of the commercial relationship between John Penton and KTM.
1928 Cotton “Super” OHV
2-18 Update: This Cotton is back up for sale with some better photos and bidding at the opening bid of $9,000 with the reserve not yet met here on eBay.
1978 Yamaha XT500 Custom
Post-Listing Update: This beautiful XT did not meet reserve with bidding up to $7,450. A brand new build by Rob Phillips of Husky Restorations, this is a lowered and stretched custom based on the XT500. It has plenty of new parts, highlights of which include the custom exhaust, Excel rims, shortened forks from a Yamaha YZ, and Hammer Head shocks. …
Tenni Green – 2012 Moto Guzzi Griso SE
Post-Sale Update: This Griso sold for the BIN of $9,800. The Moto Guzzi Griso SE is a (surprise!) special edition of the Griso, set off by beautiful Tenni paint reminiscient of Guzzi’s racebikes of the 1950s. The SE got several extras, including spoked wheels, the beautiful paint (and brown leather seat), and blacked out parts all over the place. Mechanically, …
Eye Watering Price – 2011 FIST Enterprises Biometric Bike
Post-Listing Update: As you probably expected, this bike got no action at the BIN of $125k. Built in 2011 by Paul Jr. Designs, this custom cruiser was commissioned by FIST (Fingerprint Identification Systems Technology) for an episode of American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior as a showcase of their technology that replaces the ignition of a bike with a fingerprint scanner.
2010 Ducati 848 Nicky Hayden Edition
Ignoring the fact that Nicky Hayden never had the kind of success with Ducati that he did with Honda, the Italian firm released a limited edition of the 848 called the Nicky Hayden Edition in 2010. It was an US-exclusive model with custom paint, signed gas tank, and a MSRP of $14,495. The drivetrain wasn’t touched, so you still got …
1972 BMW R75/5
Here’s a solid example (VIN: 2995157) of the 750cc slash 5. It’s been with the same family for over 30 years, and is claimed to ride like a dream though there’s a minor oil leak (“drop or two every month or so”). Obviously it’s got the short wheelbase and the distinctive toaster tank, and it’s only done 21,773 miles over …
German Army – 1961 Maico M250B
I’m hoping one of you out there knows more about this bike than I do, because all I’ve really been able to determine is that the M250B featured a 247cc single-cylinder two stroke that produced 14 horsepower.
1971 Ducati 450 Mk3 Desmo
Post-Listing Update: This Desmo did not meet reserve, with bidding up to $11,408. Presumably the next Ducati that will skyrocket in value (if it hasn’t already), the 450 Desmo is one of the best singles in history, thanks to the desmodromic system that allowed for 14,000 rpm engine speeds and lovely styling. For some details on what made this bike …
One Owner – 1982 Yamaha XJ650 Turbo
The Yamaha XJ650 Turbo was one of the quintessential examples of the 1980s Japanese movement to bring turbochargers to motorcycles. Right after Honda brought out the CX Turbo (an example of which is found here on Bike-urious), Yamaha brought out a turbocharged variant of their 650 Seca. In my opinion, this was the best looking of the 80s turbo bikes, …
1956 DKW Hummel 50
Post-Listing Update: This Hummel 50 did not meet reserve with bidding up to $2,002. DKW, which stood for Das Kleine Wunder (The Little Wonder) started selling cycles with engines in 1919 – 13 years later they became part of Auto Union:
2001 Kawasaki W650 Scrambler
A reference to the Kawasaki W1, itself a copy of the BSA A7, the Kawasaki W650 is also inspired by the Triumph Bonneville. The W650 actually preceded the rebirth of the Bonnie and for a brief moment in time in the early 2000s, it was the best option for someone looking for classic British looks with dependable reliability.
1970 Yamaha DS6
Here’s a highly original, numbers-matching example of a rare Yamaha – the DS6. An evolution of the YDS line, this was a 250cc class single that had a 5-valve cylinder. It produced about 29 horsepower, and was available in a scrambler variant as well.
