A seller in Rough and Ready, California (I’ve lived in this state for years and had no idea that was the name of a census-designated place) has two nice examples of classic Britbikes. Take your pick…or take both!
1960s Malaguti Roncobilaccio Cross
Ever heard of one of these? Me neither.
New Auction Bike – 2003 Aprilia Falco
Today on Iconic Motorbike Auctions we’ve got a heavily customized Aprilia Falco.
2000 Aprilia RS50 with Honda NX250 Motor
The Aprilia RS50 is one of the best little bikes around, but the tiny 2-stroke motor is built to meet displacement requirements, not outright power. This bike has a heart transplant that you might find interesting, because it’s now packing twice as much power!
1 of 500 – 1990 Yamaha FZR750R OW01
Post Listing Update: This OW01 did not meet reserve despite 37 bids up to $17,200 on eBay in Tucson, Arizona. I love the Honda RC30, but Yamaha’s corresponding homologation special makes the Honda look almost common. Just 500 examples were built worldwide, and it came with a $5,000 price premium over the Honda, as well. Both bikes were built to …
New Auction Bike – 1972 Honda CB450
You’ve seen a lot of sportbikes on Iconic Motorbike Auctions, so I’m excited to mix things up today with a restored CB450 K5!
1 of 760 – 1973 Yankee 500Z
Post Sale Update: This 500Z sold for $6,000 after 20 bids on eBay in Cedar Crest, New Mexico. We’ve got two Yankees in two months! As I’ve mentioned several times before, the Yankee 500Z was the brainchild of John Taylor, the American importer for OSSA and Bultaco. He thought American dirt bikes should be able to compete with Europe’s best …
New Auction Bike – 1997 Bimota YB11
Today on Iconic Motorbike Auctions we’ve got a Japanese-Italian fusion.
Award Winning Sandcast – 1969 Honda CB750
Post Sale Update: This sandcast CB sold for $25,000 after 1 bid on eBay in Santa Fe, New Mexico. As you probably know, the first 7,414 CB750s were built from sandcast molds before Soichiro Honda switched to a more expensive metal mold because there was clearly enough demand to justify the investment. As you also probably know, these “sandcast” bikes …
1 of 30 – BMW R100S Exklusiv Sport
Post Sale Update: This R100S Exklusiv Sport sold for $4,906 after 24 bids on eBay in Mahomet, Illinois. The BMW R100S Exklusiv Sport was one of the many examples of BMW throwing a special paint job on the last models in a given run to help with sales. In this case, though, BMW used vinyl stickers for the cosmetic facelift. …
1980 Ducati 900SS
I really love Ducati’s both new and old, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that I’m currently equipped to own one. So, I resign myself to searching them out for sale, and then writing about them. Admittedly, it could be a lot worse. It seems that every time I look at a Ducati that I’m thinking on writing about, I muse, …
New Auction Bike – 1984 Yamaha RZ500
Post Sale Update: This RZ sold for $14,500 plus buyers fees. Thanks to all of you for your comments and questions about the bikes up for sale at Iconic Motorbike Auctions! This one’s a fun one as it’s our first submission from outside of the state – and it’s a hell of a bike!
895 Miles – 1977 Honda CB400F
Post Sale Update: This CB sold for $7,000 after 22 bids on eBay in Waukesha, Wisconsin. The original owner of this CB400F acquired it for his wife, who enjoyed it for one season. At the start of the next riding season, the carbs needed to be cleaned, so the couple decided to park the Honda and ride their other bikes. …
1976 Honda CB500T
The best part about scouring the World Wide Web for interesting motorcycles is always walking away with more knowledge than I sat down with. Often times I’m taken in by a bike I’ve never taken any time to look at and get to experience its entire history.
Revival Cycles “Desert Runner” – 2019 Royal Enfield Interceptor Custom
As shown on BikeEXIF this week, Revival Cycles created a scrambler out of Royal Enfield’s new Interceptor, and then they did LA-Barstow-Vegas with it. Unlike most bikes featured on BikeEXIF, this one is more than just a one-off and it will be available as part of a limited production run where you can specify some components.
