Post Sale Update: This custom Monster sold for $6,700. Yesterday, I featured Ducati’s own take on a tribute to the 900SS Darmah. Today, here’s another take from aftermarket firm Flight Cycles (looks like they’re no longer in business?)
Eddie Lawson Rep – 1983 Kawasaki KZ1000R ELR
One of 750 ever built, the Kawasaki KZ1000R ELR (Eddie Lawson Replica) was a limited edition homage to the mount of Eddie Lawson, 4x winner of the World Championship (among many other titles). It was aggressively set up, and with the exception of subpar shocks, consumers and reviewers loved this bike.
1 of 100 – 2007 Ducati Sport 1000 Special Edition
View Post2008 Bimota DB7 Oronero
The Bimota DB7 continues the Italian company’s ethos of building exquisite frames and bodywork around existing high-performance engines. The first letter of the model name clues you in as to where the engine came from – the “D” in DB7 stands for Ducati. Specifically, this bike comes with the 1099cc desmo engine as found in recent Ducati superbikes. Even better, …
$2,000 – 1990 Honda VFR750F
Here’s a solid example of a classic sport-tourer – this was the first year that the VFR got a single-sided swingarm, and it was the only year you could get this red/white paint scheme.
1976 Triumph Trident Legend Replica
After Triumph bit the dust in 1976, their race manager (named Les Williams) started a business specializing in spare parts for Rocket 3s and Tridents. The business was called LP Williams, and they not only supplied OEM spares, but they created go-faster parts, Slippery Sam replicas, and a ‘new’ version of the Trident that was supposed to be the ultimate …
Odd Custom – 1997 Bimota YB11
Post Listing Update: This custom Bimota got no interest at the opening bid of $5,000. Well, this bike is going to piss off a few people. This custom streetfighter started off as a Bimota YB11, but it’s been turned into something…else. I don’t think the YB11 was something so sacred that it should ever be modified, but I do think …
1999 Laverda 750S
This is a one owner 750S – the seller notes that it’s just one of three bikes sent to the west coast that were silver and equipped with the half fairing. It has a new battery and fuel lines, and it ran today after sitting for 3 years. The seller knows it needs to be loved by someone else – …
“Super Survivor” – 1978 Suzuki GS1000E
Here’s an impressively original Suzuki GS1000E – the seller affectionately calls it the Skunk. It’s being offered by the 3rd owner, who has maintenance records back to 1980 and claims that there’s no rust or damage.
Restored – 1976 BMW R90S
View Post2011 Husaberg FS570
When this bike came out, it was a bit of a revelation. It wasn’t cheap, but many reviewers considered it to be the best supermoto you could buy at the time.
1979 Honda CB750 10th Anniversary
10 years after releasing the CB750, Honda put out an Anniversary Edition to mark the occasion. Differences between the Anniversary Edition and the K model include mag rims instead of spoked wheels, and different badges/side covers. Like the base bike, the 748cc engine produced 78 horsepower and 48 pound-feet of torque that went through a 5-speed transmission, yielding a top …
Nice Price – 1974 BMW R90S
This is a ‘rider’, not a show bike, but I think the $7,500 price reflects that just fine. I haven’t seen a good-running example of the R90S for this cheap in a while, but can you get over the faults?
