Arguably the successor to the V7 Sport, the Moto Guzzi 850 LeMans was named after the famous race in France. Guzzi took a modified version of the 850T engine and wrapped it in interesting styling that has led to it becoming a cult classic.

View Post1 of 150 – 2008 Ducati 848 Nicky Hayden Edition
The Ducati 848 Nicky Hayden Edition is one of the very, very few Ducatis that was exclusive to the United States. Built to honor Nicky Hayden, one of Ducati’s MotoGP riders, this bike celebrates Nicky’s American heritage with the red-white-and-blue theme. This exact paint scheme was actually used at both American MotoGP races (Laguna Seca and Indy) on Ducati’s 2010 …
1973 Ducati 450 Desmo
Legendary motorcycle historian Falloon considers this to be the last motorcycle “that was built purely to be a machine, free of concessions to noise, civility, or emission controls.” Production ended just one year after this bike in 1974, and it got plenty of changes for the last year. This ’73 had Grimeca brakes and 35mm Marzocchi forks.

View Post1974 Moto Guzzi V7 Sport
Post Sale Update: This V7 Sport sold for $13,500 after 6 bids on eBay. The seller says that this is “the usual for a 40 year old motorcycle” – but a Guzzi V7 Sport is anything but the usual. It was built specifically by Tonti to honor Guzzi’s racing legacy and it’s one of the best looking production bikes to …
2006 Ducati Paul Smart
One of the most beautiful motorcycles ever made (as well as one described by Bike-urious readers as a torture rack if you don’t maintain the right posture), the Ducati Paul Smart was a limited edition built in homage to the 750 SuperSport and 750 Imola Desmo racer that Paul Smart won Imola with.
1974 Ducati 750 Sport
11-5-15 Update: This bike has been up on eBay a few times (with bidding never getting above $25k, but this time the bidding is up to $17,100 with the lowest BIN I’ve seen from this seller at $36,999 here on eBay. As if the 750 Sport wasn’t cool enough, this example comes with a GT conversion kit – seat, tank, …
Nice Price – 1974 BMW R90S
No, it’s not perfect, but this is the lowest price for a R90S I’ve seen in a while. That assumes that the bike still runs, which is not explicitly stated. But if you’re close by, it’s probably worth an email to find out…

View PostCanadian Spec – 1999 Honda Fireblade CBR900RR
The first generation of the Honda CBR900RR, affectionately known as the Fireblade, was a revolution in the large displacement sport bike market. Despite a 50% larger engine, this bike weighed just 4 pounds more than then CBR600F2. Just as important, this bike was a whopping 76 pounds lighter than its lightest competition! Here’s an example from our brothers to the …
Baby Gixxer – 1987 Suzuki GSX-R 50
The GSX-R 50 was Suzuki’s take on the street-legal minibike movement of the 80s. The Yamaha YSR50 and Honda NSR50 are the more common options, I love the ‘little engine that could’ feel of the Suzuki GSX-R 50 – especially this paint scheme which almost exactly matched what you’d get on the Gixxer 1100.
Tribute Build – 1952 Vincent “Black Lightning”
This Vincent Black Lightning is called a tribute as it was apparently built with “all original parts” after factory production ceased. Part of the Gene Brown collection, it’s received quite a bit of acclaim, including a 1st place at the Quail Motorcycle Gathering – it’s even the subject of a painting (or maybe two).
