XR750 Tribute #2 – 2009 Harley Davidson XR1200
Post Listing Update: This XR1200 did not get any interest at the opening ask of $7,500. In 1983, Harley-Davidson tried to make a tribute to the mighty XR750 flat-track from the 70’s by releasing the XR1000, a custom evolution of the original Sportster at the time. 25 years later, HD got the idea of doing another tribute bike, but only …

1964 Honda CA110 Sport 50
Post Listing Update: This CA110 did not meet reserve despite 44 bids up to $1,750. Honda’s CA110 was one of their little bikes that was ushered in with the “you meet the nicest people on a Honda” campaign, though it’s a bit more special than the C102 Super Cub that has taken over the world.

For Charity – 2002 MV Agusta F4 750
MV Agusta is a future Moto2 Grand Prix team, a current World Superbike team, and long time manufacturer of legendary Italian machinery.

Depending on who you ask, the MV Agusta F4 is often …
2 Miles – 2009 BMW G450X
The seller of this bike owns two examples of the G450X, and he or she only put miles on one of them. That’s why this bike has just 2 miles, has never been ridden, and is probably the closest thing to a new BMW G450X that you’ll ever find. The question is…does that matter?
2009 Buell 1125R
Post Listing Update: This Buell was pulled off of eBay due to an “error in the listing”. Erik Buell was a dreamer, and the American sport bike was one of those dreams. We are lucky to still be able to experience them, though sales never quite living up to expectations. There may be some weirdness as is usually evident with …

After spending years in California, this example traded hands twice, crossing state-lines both times, before winding up back in the Golden State with its third, …
Supermoto Setup – 2006 Husqvarna TE510
2006 was the last year of Husqvarna’s operations under the MV Agusta group before BMW bought the company for nearly 100 million Euros. At the time, Husky’s flagship street-legal dirt bike was the TE510. This seller has banked heavily on the “street” portion with a supermoto conversion that would make for a very entertaining commute.
2000 Ducati Monster
Post Listing Update: This Monster did not get any interest at the opening ask of $4,500. Ducati has always been known for producing raw, fire breathing superbikes, but it was the Monster that kept the R&D dollars flowing. The air cooled V-Twin and dry clutch are classic Ducati, and the design for all Monsters has hardly changed since the model …
XR750 Tribute – 1983 Harley-Davidson XR1000
Post Listing Update: This XR did not get any interest at the BIN of $16,000. Following the success of the XR750 during the 70’s, notably thanks to Jay Springsteen, Harley-Davidson decided in the beginning of the 80’s to create a tribute bike to please the aficionados. The bike would be a blend between of XR750 character with some XLX Sportster …

1 of 17 – 1991 Moto Guzzi Le Mans 1000CI
The final version of the legendary Tonti-framed Le Mans, the 1000CI is also known as the 1000 Mark V NT (for New Type). Whatever you call it, it’s a rare find – the seller of this bike claims that the US only got 17 in 1991.
