Were you a big fan of the Honda CB750 Prototype I featured back in February, but not so much of a fan of the $140k+ sales price? Well, here’s your chance to grab another Sandcast CB750 in the same color, but this time with a price that won’t require a mortgage. This CB750 (VIN: CB750-1004630) has 15,543 miles and looks …
Homologation Special – 1992 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-7R K1
The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-7R K1 was a special limited edition of Kawi’s ZX-7R used in AMA Superbike. Kawasaki enjoyed tremendous success in competitive racing with this bike, and plenty of that tech made it to the ‘civilian’ version. Required to produce 500 examples worldwide for homologation purposes, Kawi packed this bike full of features like 39mm Keihin flat-slide carbs, an …
1994 Harley-Davidson VR1000
Back in 1988, Harley decided to try their hand at knocking off Ducati from their perch atop AMA Superbike. Unfortunately, what would have been top notch technology when the bike was supposed to have been released (in 1991) was well behind the curve when it actually started racing (in 1994). Homologation requirements resulted in the Harley-Davidson VR1000, of which only …
1988 Honda NX650
I’m a big fan of the Honda NX650, known as the Dominator in certain non-US markets. In fact, I bought myself a beater example of the breed to learn how to ride in the dirt with, and it was the first bike that I sold through this site (feels like much longer than a year ago). So when Bike EXIF …
1997 KTM Duke 620
4-17 Update: This KTM Duke 620 got no love at $3,800, but it’s back up for sale at the same opening bid here on eBay. KTM has always enjoyed a reputation for making some of the best off-road bikes out there, but in recent years they’ve also taken on the status of a premiere supermoto manufacturer, as well. This all …
1952 Vincent Rapide Series C
The baby brother to the legendary Black Shadow, the Vincent Rapide was sold from 1936-55 in 3 distinct ‘Series’. The final run was the Series C, which commenced in 1949. It offered the Rapide as a base model and the Black Shadow as the higher state of tune.
1966 Triton Featherbed Slimline
This Triton has been built almost entirely by parts acquired from Unity Equipe, a UK specialist. It has just 470 miles, and the seller calls it ‘essentially new.’ The bike has been sitting around for years as an uncompleted collection of parts until the seller put it together over three years – and got a title for it. Its first …
1990 Honda RC30
Post-Listing Update: This Honda RC30 was quickly pulled off eBay, final sale price unknown. The Honda RC30 is one of the world’s greatest homologation superbikes. Also known as the VFR750R, the RC30 was created so that Honda could race in the World Superbike Championship.
1959 Panther Model 120
Built by Phelon and Moore between ’59 and ’66, the Panther Model 120 was an upgrade of their previous Model 100 – but unfortunately the upgrade earned a reputation for being less reliable. Competition advanced quicker than the Panther did, and the model was killed after only about 2,500 were built.
Derbi Senda 50
In production since 1998, the Derbi Senda is a 50cc motorcycle that was barely brought into the US. This is basically a tiny supermoto with excellent components – 6 speed transmission, liquid cooling, and a top speed over 50 miles per hour. You’ll get plenty of extras like a 24mm Mikuni carb, Arrow Ti exhaust, Rox 2″ risers, and more. …

Post-Sale Update: This Knucklehead custom sold for $25,100 after 22 bids on eBay. Today, Bike EXIF just published a post on the Top 5 Customized Harley-Davidson Panheads that they’ve seen – I highly recommend you check it out. It inspired me to look for a custom Harley, and this is what I’ve got to share – the predecessor to the …
Still in the Crate – 2002 Ducati MH900e Evoluzione
Post-Sales Update: After 27 bids on eBay, this Ducati MH900e Evoluzione sold for $28,600. After not seeing one of these for about a year, I featured a Ducati MH900e Evoluzione just a couple of weeks ago. Now I get to one-up myself with a MH900e that’s STILL IN THE CRATE. Note that the last featured bike sold for $20,000, and …
1955 Toyomotor TB
4-14 Update: This Toyomotor is back up for sale with bidding up to $1,526 and the reserve not yet met or a BIN of $15,000. I don’t see it hitting reserve or the BIN price, so this is the last time I’ll update this bike for the immediate future. Find it here on eBay. Post-Listing Update: This Toyomotor TB did …
1999 Kawasaki ZRX1100 Sportcycle
Designed by Jim Musser, a former GM engineer, the Sportcycle is almost like a Kawasaki ZRX1100 where the front forks and tire have been replaced by a cockpit. For more information, check out this article from The Kneeslider. Though the paint job is different, the bike offered for sale is actually the same one featured in the article. Find this …
Royal Purple – 1975 Kawasaki H2 750
A legend in the motorcycling world, the Kawasaki H2 750 is remembered so fondly thanks to its peaky, narrow powerband and its poor handling characteristics. A bike for experts only, the Widowmaker commands respect wherever it goes.
