Thanks to extensive work by Fast by Ferracci, this Ducati ST4S puts out 140 horsepower at the rear wheel, 30 more than the stock bike. The FbF kit includes a new crank, billet titanium rods, pistons, lightweight flywheel, slipper clutch, and cylinders. The kit was apparently worth $10k, which explains why the seller says that the total work cost $15k.
Nice Price – 1978 Yamaha SR500
The seller doesn’t give much information about this bike, but he/she says it “starts, runs, and handles beautifully.” For $1,950 or best offer, I think it’s a winner. Or more three times as much you can get a new SR400 with a smaller motor, a drum in the rear, and other downgrades.
No Reserve – 1974 Ossa Phantom 250
Post Sale Update: After 5 bids on eBay, this Phantom sold for $3,050. By the early 70s, OSSA had established a dominant position in the off-road motorcycle market. But when Honda released the 250cc Elsinore, the Spanish firm was forced to respond with a strong competitor. The Phantom 250 met the mark, thanks to 33 horsepower and a weight of …
Expensive and Shiny – 2017 Ducati Monster S4R “Infinita”
Last year, an appropriately-named Italian shop called Metalbike Garage decided to rebody a Ducati Monster. They apparently went a little overboard as they ended up making three rear subframes with different bodywork, as well. It’s shiny, and it’s very expensive – what do you think about it?
2,386 Miles – 1985 Honda XL600R
Honda’s XL600R was a popular dual-sport for a wide variety of riders in the 80s – Dirt Rider magazine said it was the best in the dirt of the open class dual purpose bikes (like the Kawasaki KL600 or Yamaha XT600). You wouldn’t know that from this example, which has apparently spent all of its life on the street. The …
Movie Star – 2000 Ducati 996
A Ducati featured in a big-budget Hollywood movie focused on motorcycles has gone up for sale again. Unfortunately that movie was 2003’s ‘Bike Boyz’ (not a typo) and though I haven’t seen it a quick google-search revealed reviews to be less than stellar. The movie did have a $24M-budget and somehow they spent more than $215K for every one of …

Rare in Orange – 2008 MV Agusta Brutale 910S
Post Listing Update: This Brutale was pulled off of eBay because “the item was lost or broken.” The MV Agusta Brutale is an exquisite bike that garners a lot of attention – doubly so when adorned in orange, the rarest color offered in 2008. Estimates online peg the total number imported to be between 25 and 45 that year, though …
10,993 Miles – 1990 Honda Hawk GT
Post Sale Update: This Hawk sold for $3,500 after 13 bids on eBay. Honda was ahead of its time when it debuted the Hawk GT, also known as the NT650. It was one of the world’s first modern naked bikes but it was a commercial failure. Over the years, many riders have fallen in love with the Hawk as used …
Rare Dual Sport – 1995 Honda Transalp XL400V
View PostCustom Streetfighter – 2003 Buell XB9S
Most custom street fighters you find online are born out of a lazy effort to clean-up a set of thrashed fairings more often than they’re built out of an ambition to purposefully actualize a vision of something cool. This custom Buell however unmistakably falls into that seldom-seen latter-category. This heavily-modded 2003 XB9S has had all kinds of work done to …
1967 Royal Enfield Continental GT

1964 MZ BK350 with Sidecar
Post Listing Update: As pointed out by a few commenters, this price is to good to be true and this listing is a scam. I’ve removed the link. MZ has produced some oddballs over the years, but the BK350 stands out thanks to a 2-stroke opposed twin motor with shaft drive. THis example is even cooler thanks to a Simpson …
Custom Adventurer – 1981 BMW R80GS
Thanks to a slight bump in power (67-70 horsepower) and a decrease in weight (dry weight of 369 pounds), the seller calls this a Hot Rod R80GS. Would you ride it?
