The seller of this bike has spent some serious time and money upgrading his Husaberg as he apparently never planned on selling it. His loss means someone’s about to get a serious all-terrain machine – will it be you?

280 Miles – 1969 Suzuki AS50 Maverick
This tiddler was Suzuki’s baby street scrambler – good for 59 miles per hour and 114 miles per gallon. This example still needs to be broken in as it has just 280 miles on the odometer.
1959 Norton Nomad 600
Post Listing Update: Paul has let me know that this bike sold privately and the Nomad has been pulled off of eBay. When I last checked, it had over 220 bids! Editor’s Note: This bike is being sold by none other than Paul d’Orleans – The Vintagent. There can’t be many better people to buy a motorcycle from. One of …
Ooh, Shiny – 1966 Honda CL77 Scrambler
The seller of this bike aptly describes it as “over-restored.” The story is that the restorer worked at a chrome shop, so any parts that he didn’t either have NOS or couldn’t buy new were chromed! The current seller bought it from the restorer (whom I will now call Chromefinger) and has kept it in his living room as a …
A Weekend With the AWD Rev’It #95!
It’s Sunday morning, and I’ve been working up the courage to try this for hours. It’s finally time to forget my instincts and see what happens when I hold a slide around a corner and then whack the throttle open. On a normal big enduro, that’s an easy way to turn a slide into a lowside. But this is no …
Beautiful Cosmetics – 1969 Yamaha DS6C
The seller says he doubts “there is a DS6C in this type of condition outside of a museum.” It hasn’t run in 4 years but it’s been properly stored. I haven’t seen one better – plus this comes with a spare bike that needs new rings so you’ve got nearly every spare you could want. (Yeah, except rings. Smartass.)
6,000 Miles – 1984 BMW R80GS
Post Listing Update: AFter being relisted a couple of times, this GS did not meet reserve despite 20 bids up to $9,000. This first generation GS has just 5,616 miles because the seller had two R80GS’ and he barely rode this one! As a bonus, it also features a HPN exhaust.
1977 Bultaco Frontera 370
In 1977, Bultaco had good success in the International Six Days Trail. The US entered a team of three riders on Bultaco hybrids that utilized both Frontera and Pursang parts and all three competitors achieved Gold Medals. Bultaco took what they learned from the competition and quickly revised the production Frontera.
Erzberg Edition – 2009 KTM 950 Super Enduro
Post Listing Update: I’m stunned that this got no action at the opening bid of $8,500. I’ve seen much higher sale prices on ADVRider. KTM’s 950 Super Enduro was already one of the most impressive big dual sports ever built, but the Austrian firm decided to make something a little bit fancier with the limited edition Erzberg Edition. Hard Enduro …
Two Cheap Honda XL600Rs
A seller has two Honda XL600Rs that are said to run well considering the mileage. Considering they’re both less than $1,000 each, it could be a cheap way to start playing around in the dirt.
High Miles – 1993 BMW R100GS Paris Dakar
If you follow such things – and you should, as it is absolutely crazy, you know that the participants for the 2017 Dakar Rally are already either in or on their way to Argentina. Formerly the Paris-Dakar Rally, it was first run in 1978 as a rally from Paris through France and Spain, across to Africa, through the Moroccan mountains …
1972 Honda CL350 Scrambler
As Honda’s scramblers got bigger, they became more street focused. Cycle magazine called the CL350 not “really a scrambler at all, but a street-scrambler…doubt arises regarding the bike’s suitability for bashing around rocks and pines.” Sounds awfully similar to today’s current crop of scramblers, if you ask me.
No Reserve – 1991 Honda Africa Twin RD04
Post Sale Update: A no reserve auction feels like the most honest way to know the value of a bike. In this case, 50 bids got this Africa Twin up to $3,501. The RD04 generation of Honda’s legendary Africa Twin was produced between 1990 and 1992 – it was the second generation. The styling was quite similar to the first …
1973 Yamaha RT3 360
Yamaha introduced the DT/RT line of Dual Sport motorcycles in 1968. They featured rock solid power and reliability with good ground clearance and suspension. By 1970 they had brought out the RT1 360, an absolute monster of power with a couple of serious quirks. They had an incredible back kick on starting, and their handling was questionable at best in …
