5-3-16 Update: Two years later, this Daytona is back up for sale. The mileage is now up to 11,600 and the seller says it’s more of a sport bike than he expected, so it has to go. I’m surpised to see that the price has dropped down to $5,300 – find it here on Craigslist in Houston, Texas. There’s a …
1980 Ducati 900 Super Sport
Post-Listing Update: This Ducati was pulled off of eBay with bidding at $25,800, final sale price unknown. The Ducati 900SS was built as a sportier version of the 860GT, and it was designed to evoke a similarity to the classic 750SS Desmo. Unfortunately, bikes like the Mike Hailwood Replica were more in demand, relegating the 900SS to commercial mediocrity. According …
1982 Honda CB750F Super Sport
The Honda CB750F, also known as the Super Sport, was an evolution of the storied CB750 line. It gained some 80s styling to complement the 748cc dual overhead cam engine, a unit that produced 78 horsepower. The bike was capable of hitting about 125 miles per hour, and it was very competitive in the market in terms of power and …
2015 Arch KRGT-1
In 2006, Gard Hollinger customized a Harley-Davidson Dyna for actor Keanu Reeves, turning it into a long, low, and shiny sport cruiser. Reeves was apparently so enamored with it that he convinced Hollinger to start a company and produce a motorcycle with him. A few years later, Arch was born, and they released their first model – the KRGT-1.
1977 Moto Guzzi Le Mans 850
The seller of this Le Mans found it in a barn 15 years ago – it was mechanically solid but cosmetically rough. He took it down to the frame and had it repainted, so this book looks great and runs just as well.
In Ireland – 2008 Bimota DB6 Delirio
A great name for a naked bike, Delirio (which translates to Delirium) was Bimota’s designation for their 6th modelbuilt with a Ducati engine. It was the cheapest Bimota of the time, though that still meant a MSRP of $30k.
2000 Moto Guzzi V11 Sport Custom
4-30-16 Update: Alright, this’ll be the last time I share this bike. If it sells, it sells. If not, c’est la vie. Find it with bidding up to $2,125 and the reserve not yet met here on eBay. 7-6-15 Update: Almost a year later, this bike is now on the west coast. Unfortunately, the original Ghezzi speedo (which had broken) …
1965 Honda S90
Post Sale Update: AFter 34 bids on eBay, this S90 sold for $2,280. I think one of the rules of this site is that I have to feature a S90 every month or so – it’s in the bylaws or something. I adore mine and it still gets me to work once a week, no problem (even if I can’t …
1982 Suzuki GS1100EZ
In the early 80s, Suzuki knocked off the CBX as the superbike du jour. The Suzuki GS1100E came into the market and instantly became the bike of choice for the power hungry. American press mags constantly raved about not just the power, but also the surprising handling abilities for such a large bike. The shame for Suzuki was that this …
1993 Moto Guzzi 1000S
Post Sale Update: This 1000S sold for $14,400 after 20 bids on eBay. Introduced in 1990 (and built for three years with slight revisions), Moto Guzzi’s 1000S is a cult classic that is hard to find for sale as owners rarely let them go. It did not sell particularly well, but the retro styling – it was designed to look …
1 Year Only – 2008 Suzuki B-King GSX1300B
The best way to think about the Suzuki B-King is to consider it a naked version of the famous Hayabusa. Sold only for one year in the US, it features the 2nd generation, 1340cc Hayabusa engine that was retuned for more mid-range torque. When it was unveiled to the world as a prototype, this bike featured a 240 section rear …
2013 EBR 1190RS Carbon Edition
In 2011, Erik and his company, Erik Buell Racing (EBR), decided to get back in the sportbike game with a bang – the EBR 1190RS. The RS featured a powerplant that produced 175 horsepower just shy of 10,000 rpm, and it weighed less than 400 pounds wet. This is one of the extra rare Carbon Edition models.
In Canada – 2011 Confederate P120 Fighter
It’s a love-it-or-hate-it kind of motorcycle (I love it, at least the looks), but you can’t deny that the Confederate Fighter is distinctive. This example is slicker than your average as the seller has put a lot of thought and money into handling some of the more ‘boring’ aspects like the cooling and electrical systems.
