Painted to look like a baby CL72 or CL77 – or even like yesterday’s gorgeous CB77, this little scrambler was obtained in non-running condition and has been totally restored with a new top end (though the seller includes the original if you want to re-bore the cylinder). It has 4,145 miles but just one hour on it since the restoration …
1974 Yamaha RD60
View PostCheapest I’ve Seen – 2014 Honda Grom
I love the Grom, but I haven’t seen one of these (even used) for less than $3k. Here’s one with 2,000 miles for a much more reasonable $1,950 or best offer. HURRY. Find it for sale in McComb, Mississippi here on Ducati.ms. If this was in Southern California I would have already bought it…
2001 Simson Spatz MSA
A scooter with a CVT, top speed of 30 miles per hour, and electric + kick start, this Simson Spatz is a rare two-wheeler – this example has just 10 miles, and didn’t have gas in it until this year.
1966 Honda S90
Post Listing Update: This S90 did not meet reserve with 23 bids up to $2,050. Even if reader David N calls it a scooter, I still love the Honda S90 – so I’m always excited to feature a solid example of the breed. Here’s one that’s claimed to run as well or better as new, thanks to a ‘complete restoration’. …
Tiny Rebel – 1979 Suzuki OR50
View PostIn Spain – 1974 Puch Magnum X

1975 Rupp RST100
Founded in 1959, Rupp Manufacturing started out as a kart manufacturer in Mansfeld, Ohio. Within 10 years, they had grown to a 400-employee shop pumping out mini-bikes, go-karts, snowmobiles, and what some people consider to be the first “4 wheeler” – the Rupp Go Joe. Here’s one of their rare mini bikes – the RST 100.
German Triumph – 1956 TWN 125
Most people think Triumph is an English motorcycle company. Of course, they’d be right, but they might not realize that the company was started as a bicycle manufacturer by a German named Siegfried Bettman in 1886. A decade later, Bettman created another bicycle company in his hometown of Nuremberg – he called it the German Triumph Cycle Company. 7 years …
New in Crate – 2 1986 Honda Z50 Christmas Specials
Post-Sale Update: Incredibly (at least to me) these Z50s sold for $42,500 after 43 bids on eBay! In December 1986, Honda gave each of their top two retailers in the US a limited edition of the Z50 mini trails. It was called the Z50RDG – the D stood for Dealer, and I can’t figure out what the G signified. Some …
1973 Jawa Golden Sport
Post Listing Update: After being relisted, this Jawa did nto meet reserve despite 4 bids up to $606.95. Here’s a running example of the rare Jawa Golden Sport. Known as the Mustang in some countries, this was a 50cc, 3-speed bike that has covered 713 miles. The chrome is pitting, but it runs well and it comes with an extra …
Nice Price – 1968 Honda S90
All hail the Honda S90! Here’s an example that’s got 4,690 and is claimed to be 95% original. It apparently starts and runs excellently, and still comes with the original tires! All this tiny Honda fury can be yours here on Craigslist in Round Rock, Texas for $1,300. This bike-uriousity brought to you by Jim R!
Ending Soon – 1986 KTM 80MX
Post-Listing Update: This KTM got no interest at the opening bid of $1,500. A rare bird in the US, the KTM 80MX was KTM’s first foray into 80cc youth bikes and they’re quite the collector’s item now. What blows my mind is how much power this tiny bike was capable of putting down – check out this vintage ‘ad’ for …
Two Simson Scoots
A seller in Michigan is offering two very rare Simson scooters, so I figured I’d combine them into one post.
1966 Benelli 125
One of the many bikes sold under the Benelli/Montgomery Wards Riverside partnership, this 125 is claimed to be great running low mileage example complete with the original black license plate.
