Yes, that’s $400,000. And that’s the (obviously unmet) opening bid!

1989 Yamaha TZR250 3MA
Loosely based on Yamaha’s TZ250 racer, the TZR was a 2 stroke sportbike built between ’86 and ’99 – in 1986 it was the first production 250cc motorcycle to lap Isle of Man’s TT course at over 100 miles per hour.

View Post0 Miles – 2006 Suzuki Hayabusa
Also known as the GSX1300R, the Hayabusa was an instant legend when it was introduced in 1999 thanks to a top speed between 188-194 miles per hour. That made it the fastest production motorcycle in the world, and thanks to a gentleman’s agreement among manufacturers to keep top speeds under 186mph in 2000, it held that title until 2007 when …
1970 Norton Commando Production Racer
The coolest of Commandos, the Norton Commando Production Racer (affectionately known as the Yellow Peril) was a street-legal factory racer made available to privateers for a princely sum. How princely? It would set you back $1,900 at a time when $1,500 would buy you an Austin Mini.
1958 Moto Morini Tresette Sprint
More from the incredible collection of Michael Harper-Smith – I think I’m obligated to share when he puts something up for sale. Will he ever run out? In 1954, Moto Morini introduced a series of bikes that were all named after Italian card games – Settebello (7 of Diamonds), Biscola (Trumps), and in 1958 – the Tresette (Three Sevens), which …

1952 MV Agusta Sport E
Remember Gary Kohs collection of MV Agustas – 71 beautiful bikes that he turned down an offer of $800,000 for during an auction in Monterey in 2012? The next year, he ended up auctioning off everything individually through a separate auction in Vegas and he got a total of nearly $850,000. I bring all this up because this Sport E …
1986 Honda Nighthawk S
Also known as the CB700SC, the Nighthawk S was an interesting bike designed to avoid the 45% tax imposed on imported bikes of 700cc or bigger. Despite the ‘smaller’ engine, this bike was faster than many of its 750cc competitors, and the press loved it. Honda killed this bike after only a couple of years, leaving it to become a …
1980 Ducati 900SS
Post Listing Update: Bidding got up to $26,100 but this Ducati was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown. The black-and-gold paint scheme of this 900 SuperSport has become quite iconic for Ducati, and as greenframe bike prices have entered the stratosphere, many riders have been instead looking for excellent examples of the 900SS like this bike.
No Reserve – 2008 Aprilia Shiver 750
Post Sale Update: This Shiver sold for $3,351 after 28 bids on eBay. In 2007, Aprilia introduced the Shiver, a competent naked bike that stood out thanks to vibrant paint jobs and the relative rarity of the Aprilia name on the tank.
2003 Vertemati S570
Vertemati is not a well known company, but they used to make some very high-strung exotics. Here’s an example that’s already plated and ready to go in the state of California.
