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 …
Ending Soon – 1954 Norton International – Manx

2 Special John Player Livery Norton Commandos
I’ve always been a big fan of the John Player livery on the Commando 850, and today I’ve got two interesting examples for you to peruse. One’s been heavily modified, the other has barely been touched…
Nut and Bolt Resto – 1986 Suzuki GSX-R 750
Post Listing Update: After being relisted, this did not meet reserve with 24 bids up to $5,350. 12-1 Update: This Gixxer is back up for sale with bidding up to $4,300 and the reserve not yet met here on eBay. A classic sportbike, the Suzuki GSX-R 750 was originally introduced in 1985 and debuted with a win in the 24-hour …
8.401 – 2011 BMW S1000RR Turbo
8.401 is the number of seconds that this bike has ate up a quarter mile in the past. Thanks to some serious work including a DaVinci Turbo, PS2000 ECU, and VP100 race fuel, this is one of the fastest S1KR’s you’ll find. With that said, you could turn down the tune and run it on E85 and still have something …
Original Owner – 1974 Ducati 750SS Green Frame
After not seeing one of these for sale for about a year, here’s the third Green Frame I get to share in as many weeks! You all know the story with this bike, so let’s just get to the good stuff – it’s an original owner bike with 5,880 miles, complete with a letter from the seller stating that he …
1998 Bimota SB6R
The Bimota SB6R was an uprated version of the SB6, Bimota’s most popular bike – though for a niche Italian manufacturer, “popular” is a relative term (only 600 units were produced). The SB6R was only produced from 1997-1998, and in many eyes it’s the pinnacle of classic Bimota motorcycles – brutal power from a Japanese engine with the style of …
2007 Bimota Tesi 3D
One of the most distinctive-looking motorcycles you’ll ever see, the Bimota Tesi 3D features a hub-steering front suspension that has been a defining feature of the model.
1982 Honda CB750F + Freddie Spencer Helmet
Post-Sale Update: This Honda CB750F sold for an unknown best offer less than $2,500. Not a bad deal for the buyer! I’ll admit that I’m basically just featuring this bike so I have an excuse to feature the helmet. The Honda CB750F, also known as the Super Sport, was an evolution of the storied CB750 line. It gained some 80s …
A Tale of Two Commandos
Here’s a dilemma – do you want a fully restored Commando, or one that’s about to turn 40 that’s original and unrestored? What would you pick?
Just Hands – 2003 Yamaha R6
This Yamaha R6 has been modified by the seller to be rideable by someone who is paralyzed from the waist down. It’s quite fascinating – a Translogic push button shifter takes care of swapping gear ratios, while custom electronic outriggers take care of keeping the bike upright at a stop. The outriggers are deployed via a toggle switch mounted in …
1958 Ducati 200 Elite
Post-Listing Update: This Elite did not meet reserve at $16,110 on eBay. I know I featured a couple of these just a few days ago, but this Elite is an absolute gem. The Ducati 200 Elite was the Italian firm’s largest-displacement bike when it was introduced – a whopping 204cc when they bored out the popular 175cc engine.
