This bike (called Daisy Duc) was a finalist in the Ultimate Builder Competition at the Washington DC stop of the Progressive International Motorcycle Show. I’m wondering what you guys and gals think about it.
In Italy – 1976 Kawasaki KZ750
Built by Motomato out on the Amalfi Coast of Italy, this custom Kawi KZ750 has been featured on sites like the Bike Shed.
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.
1967 Ducati 250 Mach 1
When it was introduced, the Mach 1 was the fastest 250cc road bike available – it was capable of topping 100 miles per hour.
2004 Ducati 999R FILA
To celebrate its 200th win in WSBK, Ducati released 200 examples of their top of the line 999R in the Team Ducati FILA livery of 2003. 75 were supposed to make it to the US but it’s possible that just 67 were initially imported.
Museum Restoration – 1976 Yamaha YZ125
Introduced in 1974, the YZ125 is still in production (and has won 5 AMA National MX championships over the years). In the first year of production, the bike had dual shocks, but Yamaha quickly switched to a monoshock design. Here’s one of the early models that was given a full restoration and has not been ridden since.
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 …
CHP – 1931 Harley-Davidson VL
View PostTrivia Discount – 2002 Ducati S4 Fogarty
If you’re looking at the number of championships and individual race wins, Carl “Foggy” Fogarty is the most successful racer to ever rule in World Superbike. In 2002, Ducati released a special edition of their Monster to honor Foggy – here’s #16 of 300. Plus, this is the first time I’ve seen a seller asks a trivia question that will …
In Uruguay – 1951 Hansa-Lloyd-Goliath GD750
View Post5,776 Miles – 1968 BMW R60/2
Somehow, this R60/2 has under 6,000 miles despite the fact that it’s almost 50 years old. It’s numbers matching and is claimed to be ‘unmolested and original’.
1974 Rokon RT140 Chopper
Introduced in 1970, the Rokon RT140 (RT = Rokon Trail, 140 was displacement) was built to get a slice of the trail bike market that had become so popular. It used the same pull-start 140cc engine that you’d find in a Snorunner, and an automatic transmission. If you believe the seller, this chopped RT140 was built by a Rokon employee …
1977 Moto Guzzi V1000 Convert
Initially designed to target the US police bike market, the V1000 Convert was the first production large displacement shaftie. You can probably guess why it was called Convert – the bike had a torque converter which allowed for smooth shifting between the two gears and allowed a rider to stop the bike while in gear.
Video Intermission – Bike-urious’ Indian Scout Adventure
Yup, this time the video intermission is of yours truly! In the past I’ve done written reviews of bikes (and don’t worry, there’s one of those coming up for the Scout in a few days), but thanks to the talents of my friends Aaron Schasse and Nathan May, I’ve also got a video of our adventure to share. Hope you …
1974 Ducati 750 Sport
Post-Listing Update: This 750 Sport did not meet reserve with bidding up to $33,100. I feature this bike with caution, as the last two ’74 750 Sports that I’ve featured (one of the few bikes I like in yellow) on eBay have been pulled off before the auction ended. Still, it’s not like I can see a bike like this …
