To celebrate their 50th anniversary, Yamaha took their incredibly popular 1000cc sportbike and modified just 500 examples into near-production racers. The Yamaha R1 Limited Edition bikes have been in hot demand ever since, but this one stands out from its 499 brothers as it has just 0.1 miles on the odometer.
Maverick – 1985 Kawasaki Ninja GPZ900R
As a child of the 80s, I believe this Kawasaki Ninja GPZ900R checks all the right boxes. An instant legend of a motorcycle further memorialized by a role in the 80’s classic Top Gun, and it’s in great shape.

2008 Ducati Desmosedici D16RR
The Ducati Desmosedici D16RR might just be the greatest sportbike to ever come out of Italy. The RR stands for Racing Replica, and it was a limited production (just 1,500 examples) version of the Desmo MotoGP racebike piloted by Casey Stoner in the world’s greatest motorcycle race series.
Nicest Around – 1967 Yamaha YCS-1 180 Bonanza
Post-Listing Update: This Bonanza did not sell, despite being relisted. I don’t think I’ve seen an original YCS-1 in this kind of shape – but I’ve also never seen such a high asking price for one! The Yamaha YCS-1 180 Bonanza was a lovely small-displacement 2-stroker that was also available in a scrambler variant.

1966 Honda S65
You all know that I love the Honda S90, so when reader Mark K. found the little brother Honda S65, I just had to share it with you. 6.2 horsepower, 56 miles per hour, and a claimed 190(!) miles per gallon. What else do you want to know?
1966 Norton Atlas
Post-Listing Update: This Norton Atlas was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown.

1 of 148 – 1996 Bimota BB1 Supermono
Post-Sale Update: After 21 bids on eBay, this Bimota Supermono sold for $8,500.

The Bimota BB1 utilized the Rotax-developed 652cc thumper – an engine …
1 Owner – 1980 Honda CBX Super Sport
We’ve featured Honda’s classic six-cylinder bruiser several times before, but this one stands out as it’s had just one owner in a 34 year long life.

Take Your Pick – 1974 Condor A350
A bike built for the Swiss Army, the Condor A350 is hard to find in the states – but today I’ve got a seller that has three of them!
1968 Wards Riverside Benelli 350 Restomod
Sold through Montgomery Wards department stores in the ’60s, Benelli bikes were made available in varying displacements. Today we feature one of the biggest examples, a Benelli 350 that’s been restomodded and (at a quick glance) reminds me of a baby Ducati 750SS.
1965 Gilera 202 Super

One of the many street bikes built to help fund racing efforts was the Gilera 202 Super, an over-square thumper that features a lovely paint scheme on the tank.
