In 1983, the Moto Guzzi Le Mans Mark III was brought back after MG was able to get the smaller engine certified under US emissions – for a few years the US was stuck with a 949cc engine. With the arrival of the Mark III, Guzzi created approximately 80 technical changes of varying severity from the Mark II model.

The Commander – 1968 Kawasaki W2
A couple of weeks ago I featured a “fully restored” Commander with a couple of details that you guys didn’t care much for. Here’s an example that will probably go over a bit better thanks to the lack of pipe wrap and the factory tailight. The bigger brother of the W1 (a name which Kawasaki would eventually bring back), the …
1996 Ducati 900SS/SP Custom
Post-Listing Update: This Ducati 900SS/SP Custom was pulled off of eBay before the auction ran it’s course. This custom 900SS started as a SS/SP, but has received plenty of modifications including Brembo Goldlines, Marchesini wheels, Ohlins forks and shocks, and Fast by Ferracci carbon exhaust. In addition, the bodywork is all carbon fiber (except for the steel tank), and it’s …
630 Miles – 2006 Ducati Paul Smart LE
Post Listing Update: This Paul Smart was pulled off of eBay due to “an error in the listing.” Here’s a Paul Smart with just 630 miles. It’s claimed to be 100% stock – I can’t remember the last time I saw one with the stock exhaust, which I don’t find particularly attractive. It’s spent most of its life in a …
“Sports Hog” – Custom 1994 Suzuki GSX-R 750
Here’s an odd-ball pairing – a 1994 Suzuki GSX-R 750 that’s been modified to look like a Harley. Work includes a 8 inch stretch to the swing arm, 18 inch ape handlebars, Harley teardrop exhausts, and a custom made fender from a Wide Glide. I’m almost speechless: Find the Sports Hog for sale here on Craigslist in Ambler, Pennsylvania for …
Hot Rod – 1963 BSA B40
Here’s a pretty example of a BSA B40 with a twist – it was modded back in the 60s with a period correct round barrel 441 engine. Long live displacement!
1953 Vincent Comet Series C
A single-cylinder evolution of the famous Rapide, the Vincent Comet was one of four models using the 499cc single engine. This is one of the Series C bikes, the final evolution of the breed. There was apparently one Series D bike built but it never made it to production.
Rebuilt Commando – 1975 Norton Commando 850
Here’s a beautiful Norton Commando 850 that was restored by Classic Bike Experience in 2012, and then repainted by Vintage Vendor into the bike you see in front of you. It has 16,975 miles on it, though under 200 were put on post-rebuild. The seller includes an invoice of the money put in – it wasn’t cheap: Find this numbers-matching …
Reader Ride – 1974 Ducati 750SS Green Frame
Post-Sale Update: Bike has sold. I finally featured my first Green Frame on Bike-urious just a few days ago, but it almost immediately was taken off Craigslist. Thanks to reader Sebastien L., I can now feature a beautiful example of this legendary bike – but this time I can ensure the listing stays up for more than a couple of …
1984 Moto Morini 350 K2
Post Sale Update: After 33 bids on eBay, this K2 sold for $4,801. Normally, a 350 from Morini makes people think of the 3 1/2, but the Italian firm released the Moto Morini 350 K2 a decade later.
Limited Edition – 1995 Triumph Daytona Super III
Post Listing Update: This Super III did not meet reserve with bidding up to $4,050. It was relisted and then pulled off of eBay. The Triumph Daytona Super III was a limited edition of the under-appreciated Daytona 900. Just 805 were sold worldwide and they featured engine work by Cosworth.
1970 Ducati 450 Desmo Corsa Replica
Post-Listing Update: Despite 43 bids on eBay up to $9,100, this Desmo Corsa rep did not meet reserve on eBay.

Here’s a replica of Ducati’s 450 Desmo Corsa racebikes – which was pretty much as …
1 of 300 – 2007 MV Agusta F4 1000 Senna

2009 BMW HP2 Megamoto
Produced for just 2 years, the BMW HP2 Megamoto is one of the highest performing boxers ever built by the German firm. Only 107 were brought into the United States at a MSRP of $20,520, making them a very rare and unique supermoto from a company that never would have tried anything like this just a few years before.
