Lawson Replica – 1982 Kawasaki KZ1000R ELR
One of 750 ever built, this 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.
1998 Cagiva Mito 125
Post Listing Update: This Mito did not meet reserve despite 14 bids up to $3,250 on eBay. Ever wanted the looks of Ducati’s beautiful 916 but with a much, much tinier engine? Here’s your chance, thanks to the rare-in-the-US Cagiva Mito 125.
1 of 300 – 2015 MV Agusta F3 800 Ago
Post-Listing Update: This F3 Ago did not get any action at the opening bid of $24,598. A limited run of the newest F3, the “Ago” is signed by Agostini himself on the tank. Just 300 will be sold, and the differences are pretty much just cosmetic, though it is 5 pounds lighter than the base bike thanks to forged OZ …
1971 Ducati Silver Shotgun

Plated 50cc – 2003 Aprilia RS50
The Aprilia RS50 is pretty much as good as it gets with 50cc “supersports”. The styling has always aped the styling of its liter-bike bigger brother, but the proportions can look a bit off because of that: Still, the 49cc two-stroke engine is powerful enough to get the bike up to about 65 mph once it’s been derestricted, and today …
1958 Simson 425S/AWO Sport
A East German company known for building cars, bikes, and firearms, Simson had a tumultuous history which included being taken over by the Third Reich (Simson’s ownership was Jewish) and later on by the Russians after the second World War. The Russians renamed the company AWO, so this bike is also known as the AWO Sport.
Restored – 1997 Ducati 916

1958 BSA Super Rocket A10
Post-Listing Update: This Super Rocket did not meet reserve at $5,350 despite 21 bids on eBay. In the 50s, BSA was considered to be a manufacturer of reliable motorcycles, though general consensus was that they were falling behind in performance to Triumph and Norton. Birmingham Small Arms fought responded with the BSA Super Rocket, which has to be fast just …
2001 MZ Skorpion Sport Cup
The MZ Skorpion was the result of an international partnership between a British design firm, an East German manufacturer (MZ), and Yamaha. Weighing just 380 pounds and packing 48 horsepower, this is a rare sportbike that has become quite the cult classic.
1977 BMW R100S
Post-Sale Update: This R100S sold for $5,926. Here’s a pretty example of a BMW R100S that has provisions for a kickstarter because it’s a Canadian model. The owner has retrofitted the older peanut style valve covers (so much better than the original black ones), but why this bike really stands out is the inclusion of a very rare Talbot/Berlin fairing …
1982 Benelli 125 Sport
Featuring an air-cooled two stroke 125cc twin, a 5-speed transmission, and a slightly-too-large front fairing, the Benelli 125 Sport was a little rocket for the road. Here’s an example (VIN: 11443) with a rebuilt motor (with no miles on it), documentation from an Italian mechanic, and 2 boxes of spare parts. Find this Benelli 125 Sport for sale here at …
