Post-Listing Update: Despite 43 bids on eBay up to $9,100, this Desmo Corsa rep did not meet reserve on eBay. With that said, reader James H. let me know that he snagged it afterwards and he’s in the process of registering it for the road! Here’s a replica of Ducati’s 450 Desmo Corsa racebikes – which was pretty much as …
1 of 300 – 2007 MV Agusta F4 1000 Senna
Post Listing Update: This Senna did not meet reserve with 12 bids up to $13,300. A special edition of the already wonderful F4 1000R, the MV Agusta F4 1000 Senna was built to honor the late Ayrton Senna. The MSRP of $29,995 bought you one of just 300 bikes in the production run.
1938 BSA M-21
Here’s a lovely example of BSA’s venerable M-21. It’s a military version that still has the sidecar fittings, but the 600cc single engine and gearbox were rebuilt 20 years ago. It has just 11 miles since the work. There’s very little left before this bike is completely finished: you’ll need to add the left side knee pad and replace the …
Reader Ride – 1st Edition 1965 Ducati 160 Monza Junior
I’ve always thought the Ducati 160 Monza Junior was a little bizarre – it was oddly blocky and squared off. Granted, I appreciate when companies try something different, but I’m still on the fence about how attractive the bike was. Thanks to this reader submission, however, I learned that the first ‘edition’ of the Monza actually featured some rounder bodywork. …

2009 BMW HP2 Megamoto
Produced for just 2 years, the BMW HP2 Megamoto is one of the highest performing boxers ever built by the German firm. Only 107 were brought into the United States at a MSRP of $20,520, making them a very rare and unique supermoto from a company that never would have tried anything like this just a few years before.
2002 Malaguti F-15 Firefox Ben Bostrom Replica
In 1996, Malaguti introduced the F-15, a scooter was instantly popular in Italy. Fast forward 16 years and they partnered with Ducati to create the Ben Bostrom Replica.
1946 Harley-Davidson FL Knucklehead Bobber
Here’s a Knucklehead Bobber (VIN: 46FL 4547) that has original Flanders bars and a Bates seat. There are plenty of aftermarket pieces including the coil, horn, front pipe, push rod covers, headlight, taillight, dash cover, and more. As you’d expect, it’s a bit of a mashup – the frame is from a ’40 or early ’41 bike, and it has …
1979 KTM MC80
Here’s your chance to beat up on some vintage Maicos with a fully redone KTM MC80. Plenty of the bike is still original, though the plastics, graphics, tires, and brakes are new. You’ll also get rebuilt stock Ohlins shocks to complement the original Bing carb, Motoplat ignition, and Magura controls. I feel like I’ve seen plenty of MC80s, which feature …
Needs Some Work – 1974 Ducati 750 GT
Everyone seems to love the 750 GT, but this one’s going to require a little bit of work. It’s received a ‘full cosmetic restoration’ in the last 12 months, but it has not been started in at least 7 years. If you’ve got some mechanical skills, this could be your chance to pick up a classic Duc for relatively cheap… …
Bike Review – Honda Grom
The Honda Grom has become quite the internet sensation – I feel like I’ve seen a tremendous amount of press on it, and owners are a passionate group who have created a loyal community (and amusing internet memes):

For those of you on the fence about getting into electric motorcycle ownership, here’s a Brammo Empulse R at half price that might be just what you’re looking for.
Ending Soon – 1979 Honda CB750 10th Anniversary
10 years after releasing the CB750, Honda put out Anniversary Edition to mark the occasion. Differences between the Anniversary Edition and the K model include mag rims instead of spoked wheels, and different badges/side covers. Like the base bike, the 748cc engine produced 78 horsepower and 48 pound-feet of torque that went through a 5-speed transmission, yielding a top speed …
1997 Harley-Davidson Velo Glide Ultra
I was really on the fence about featuring this because I obviously try to keep my posts limited to motorcycles. I’m going to pretend this is close enough, and maybe one of my Harley-loving readers will want to snap up this very expensive bicycle.
1974 Honda Elsinore CR125M Flat Tracker
When it was released, the Honda Elsinore was an absolute game-changer. Just under 20 horsepower and 200 pounds, it was light, it was reliable, and it had plenty of suspension travel. Competitors scrambled to catch up. Here’s an example that’s been converted into a flat tracker.
