Post Listing Update: This Mito did not meet reserve despite 14 bids up to $3,250 on eBay. Ever wanted the looks of Ducati’s beautiful 916 but with a much, much tinier engine? Here’s your chance, thanks to the rare-in-the-US Cagiva Mito 125.
1968 Norton P11
Back when AMC owned Norton and Matchless, the latter sold a bike called the G85CS, which was competitive in European motocross. The US west coast distributor sold several but thought they were a little slow for the ‘scramble’ racing that was happening in America, before MX took off. After requesting that AMC put a more powerful Norton Atlas engine in …
2004 BMW Rockster R1150R
The BMW Rockster was an interesting variant on their naked bike of the time, the R1150R. The Rockster was BMW’s take on a streetfighter of sorts, made by pulling together the headlight from a R1150GS, gauges from the R1100S, and throwing them onto the R1150R with a distinctive paint job.
1 of 300 – 2015 MV Agusta F3 800 Ago
Post-Listing Update: This F3 Ago did not get any action at the opening bid of $24,598. A limited run of the newest F3, the “Ago” is signed by Agostini himself on the tank. Just 300 will be sold, and the differences are pretty much just cosmetic, though it is 5 pounds lighter than the base bike thanks to forged OZ …
Conquer Baja – 2007 Honda CRF450X
The last time I featured a Honda CRF450X, it was an example that had been modified to conquer snow. Today, I’ve got an example that’s been converted into a bad-ass rally bike.
AHRMA Racer – 1938 Ariel Red Hunter
A model that lasted for nearly 30 years, the Ariel Red Hunter was the name given to a grand variety of single-cylinder engines produced by Ariel from 1932-1959. Here’s an interesting example that’s been converted into a AHRMA vintage racer.
1971 Ducati Silver Shotgun
Thanks to its distinctive silver metal flake fiberglass bodywork, Two Wheels called this the Desmo Mark 3 the Ducati Silver Shotgun. It’s one of the rarest desmo singles and it’s quite visually stunning.
Budget Tourer – 2002 Kawasaki Concours
The Kawasaki Concours isn’t the most exciting bike out there, however if you’ve been looking for an excuse to get into sport-touring, this might just be a perfect way to get started. This Connie has aux driving lights and an aftermarket windshield in addition to the factory luggage. It has all service records for the last 30,000 miles (odo is …
926cc – 1995 Ducati 916 Custom
Here’s an impressively modified Ducati 916 that was modified with plenty of top-notch period parts.
Plated 50cc – 2003 Aprilia RS50
The Aprilia RS50 is pretty much as good as it gets with 50cc “supersports”. The styling has always aped the styling of its liter-bike bigger brother, but the proportions can look a bit off because of that: Still, the 49cc two-stroke engine is powerful enough to get the bike up to about 65 mph once it’s been derestricted, and today …
1958 Simson 425S/AWO Sport
A East German company known for building cars, bikes, and firearms, Simson had a tumultuous history which included being taken over by the Third Reich (Simson’s ownership was Jewish) and later on by the Russians after the second World War. The Russians renamed the company AWO, so this bike is also known as the AWO Sport.
2012 Norley Cafe Racer
You’re probably familiar with the Triton – a Triumph engine in a Norton frame. But have you heard of a Harley Sportster engine in a replica Norton Manx frame? Say hello to the Norley. Or should it be called Sporton? Harlon? Harlton? Whatever.

It’s not every day that I get to feature a bike that’s had a very detailed write-up done on it before. But thanks to this article from Motorcycle Classics, you can learn all about the story behind John Whitby’s beautifully restored Rickman Metisse Scrambler before you start bidding.
One Year Only – 1934 Harley-Davidson CB 500
The Harley-Davidson CB 500 is an unusual bike – produced for just one year, it was the result of taking the 500cc engine from Harley’s “C” model and sticking it in the frame of their “B” model, which normally utilized a 350cc engine. Consider it a rare factory hotrod? As far as I can tell, just 150 of these were …
1994 Kawasaki KLR650 with Sidecar
Here’s a cool Kawasaki KLR650 with a sidecar that was specifically built to house a Newfoundland, though it apparently will fit a normal sized dog and a person just fine. The bike has just 13k miles and has been modified with hard luggage, a bigger windshield, and a 7 gallon fuel tank. Find this KLR650 rig for sale here on …
