Tomorrow, Bonhams is auctioning off a whole bunch of cars and 14 motorcycles in Paris.
1978 BMW R100S
Thanks to the factory luggage and multiple tank bags, this R100S would be a great option for someone looking for a classic touring bike with some pep.
One Owner – 1993 Honda CBR900RR
Back in 1993, the seller of this bike was 44 years old. He had the good sense to buy one of the most revolutionary sportbikes of the 1990s, and he’s kept it until now. He’s kept it quite stock and in excellent condition, and now it’s ready for a new owner.
Restomod – 1984 Honda VF1000F Interceptor
Post Listing Update: This Interceptor did not meet reserve despite 32 bids up to $4,250. In 2008, the seller of this bike took a ’84 Interceptor and restomodded it to what you see here. It was featured in the June 2014 issue of Practical Sportsbikes Magazine, who said “The overall effect is understated, subtle and very much as if Honda …
Restored – 1968 Triumph Bonneville
Restored by Commando Specialties, this Bonneville has spent the last year on display in their showroom. Who’s ready to get it back on the road?
Ending Soon – 1983 Honda MVX250F
The MVX250F stands out for a few reasons – but the most notable is the unusual two-stroke V3 motor. Honda has a well-earned reputation for reliability but this was one of their few misses. That just makes it all the more impressive to see one still around and kicking, especially as they were only really sold in Japan and New …
5 Rarities in Italy
A elderly gentleman in Carini, Italy has a collection of bikes, most of which he has owned for over 30 years. Unfortunately, he is getting old and needs to sell some motorcycles, so a group of his friends are helping out. They’ve currently got 5 bikes up on eBay, and all are said to be “in beautiful restored condition” and …
1971 Norton Commando 750 Cafe Racer
Any reader of this site doesn’t need an explanation of why the Norton Commando is one of the legends of motorcycling history. I like this example because it’s got a “cafe” tank, seat, and clipons – I think it’s a beautiful twist on a legend. What do you say?
1967 Suzuki X-6 Hustler
When the first Suzuki models hit America in 1963 it was with three two stroke twins that were very ordinary in performance and style. Nothing that would indicate the new model that would arrive in 1966, the X-6 (T 20 elsewhere). The first production motorcycle with a 6 speed transmission, it allowed a very good two stroke twin to stay …
Hurricane – 1991 Honda CBR1000F
The Honda CBR1000F was a long-lived sport tourer that did everything well, though period reviews suggest it wasn’t as exciting as the competition. Still, 135 horsepower at 155 miles per hour can’t be too boring, right? This example has just been unearthed from over a decade in storage, which is why it has just 16,530 miles. Even better? It’s being …
1968 BSA Spitfire MKIV
12-26-2017 Update: Almost a year later, commenter PeeJay notes that this Spitfire is back up for sale again. Looks like the seller used the previous eBay bidding to set an estimated value, as he/she is now asking for $9,500 here on Craigslist. Post Listing Update: Despite 16 bids up to $8,850, this Spitfire did not meet reserve. 1968 was the …
1978 Ducati 900SS Replica
The fine folks at Austin Vintage Cycle (they have the good sense to support Bike-urious, so check ’em out!) are selling a replica of a 900SS – if you’re not a stickler for authenticity, you may find that this is a much cheaper way to enjoy similar riding dynamics.
Custom Streetfighter in Australia – 2008 KTM RC8R
Starting with KTM’s RC8 superbike, Australia tuner MC RoadRunner (MCRR) has created a hell of a naked speedster after over 200 hours of work. Is it easier to wheelie? Absolutely. Would you rather have this than a stock RC8R? You tell me.
Rare in the US – 1992 Yamaha SRV250
Post Sale Update: This SRV sold for the BIN of $3,750. Never officially sold in the US, the SRV250 was Yamaha’s baby cafe racer a la the Honda GB500. The seller is not aware of another example in the US, and neither am I. I hope the next owner keeps it as-is and avoids the temptation of turning it into …
Rare in the US – 1993 Honda NSR80
US minibike enthusiasts will be familiar with the Honda NSR50. Japan got a 80cc variant that was never sold in the US, but here’s an example that’s somehow made it across the ocean.
