MZ decided to expand their product line with the introduction of the Baghira, a supermoto with excellent components – bodywork from Acerbis, motor from Yamaha, and suspension from WP and Marzocchi. It all combined to make a rare and very satisfying dual purpose motorcycle.
1995 BMW R100GSPD Classic
View Post1992 Yamaha TDM 850
The Yamaha TDM 850 is definitely an oddball…a well-rounded bike in a US market that seems to prefer hyper-specialization. Sold in the US for only two years (1992-1993), there aren’t very many of these bikes still around, but the TDM definitely has a cult following. Well suited for tall riders, Yamaha designed this bike to enjoy mountain roads and also …
A Couple of 1994 Ducati Elefants
You may also know it as the Cagiva Elefant, but either way this is a rare Italian dual-sport that has developed into a cult classic.
37 Years New – 1978 Indian ME-100
Here’s a basically brand new example of a 40 year-old Indian ME-100 – one of the classic examples of Indian’s flirtation with tiny displacement off-road bikes. The ME-100 featured a Fuji F500K engine, which displaced 97cc. In 1974, the ME-100 got upgraded to a 22mm carb, and power went through a 5-speed transmission. If you’re curious, here’s a digital scan …
1987 Cagiva Elefant 650
The Cagiva Elefant is an interesting odd-ball – an Italian dual-sport with the heart of a Ducati. Available with a 900cc or 650cc engine, this is definitely the most unique option compared to the KLR, DRZ, and XL/XR options available from Japan.
1996 Harley “Dual-Sportster”
Alright, that’s my name – the seller actually calls his creation the Dirtster. Either way, it’s a Sportster that’s been converted to tackle dirt!
1989 Honda NX250
The middle weight of the Honda NX line-up (which also included a 125 and a 650), the NX250 was available for just two years. This example is in incredible condition thanks one caring owner who put just 2,405 miles on it.
Movie Hero – Jurassic World Triumph Scrambler
Have you seen Jurassic World yet? If so, you noticed the Triumph Scrambler that was used in several shots. Triumph provided 3 bikes for the shoot – and now one is for sale.
Custom Dommie – Andrew Greenland Honda NX650
I have a huge soft spot for the Honda Dominator (known as the NX650 in the US), as it was the bike I used to learn how to ride in the dirt, and it was the first bike I actually sold through this site. In the last couple of years, the Dommie has become a popular platform for customization, and …
1965 Triumph TR6SC
Offered by one of the owners of The Classic Bike Experience in Essex, Vermont, this Triumph TR6SC is one of just 346 sold in 1965 (and just 656 produced in total). Consider it a follow-up to yesterday’s TR6SR.
Custom Paint – 2006 BMW HP2 Enduro
View Post1966 Triumph TR6SR
In ’66, Triumph was making several versions of the TR6 Trophy – this was the SR, considered to be a ‘high-performance roadster’. What did that mean? This bike got raised handlebars and a smaller fuel tank.
Ducati Powered – 1974 Condor A350
Post Sale Update: This Condor sold for $4,250 after 24 bids on eBay. A bike built for the Swiss Army, the Condor A350 was produced between ’73 and ’79. 3,000 were produced, and the military only started releasing them to the public about 15 years ago.
1984 BMW R80GS
Post-Listing Update: The seller removed this bike from eBay. The poor photos of this listing were not enough to overshadow my love of the start of the BMW GS line (and my appreciation for no reserve auctions).
