2008 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 about 100 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.
1977 Ducati 900 SuperSport
Post-Sale Update: After 20 bids on eBay, this Ducati 900 SuperSport sold for $36,100. The Ducati 900 SuperSport is a street-oriented successor to the classic, race-bred 750SS.

1975 BMW R90S
I adore the BMW R90S, which was a game-changer when it was released to the world. The gray and smoke paint scheme shown here was the first of two available paint schemes, both of which are beautiful and incredibly difficult to reproduce. With oversight from Hans Muth, this bike was built to show the world that BMW could make more …

In honor of Lee, one of our newest readers who’s been on the prowl for a Honda RC30, here’s an example of one of the world’s greatest homologation superbikes. Also known as the VFR750R, the RC30 was created so that Honda could race in the World Superbike Championship.
Bought on Bike-urious – 1992 BMW K1
These have quickly become my favorite types of posts to write up – sharing the story of someone who bought a bike on Bike-urious! Today’s congratulations go to Michael B, who snapped up a 1992 BMW K1 that I originally spotted on Craigslist, and saw again for sale 6 months later on ADVRider. I’ll let Michael tell the story himself: …

Bought on Bike-urious – MZ 1000S
I’m absolutely delighted to share our first success story (tentatively titled “Bought on Bike-urious”) with you all.

Ending Soon – 1978 BMW R100RS Motorsport – 1 of 200
Post Listing Update: This RS did not meet reserve despite 26 bids up to $7,300. A classic in its own right, the BMW R100RS needs no introduction. However, in 1978, BMW released a limited edition – the Motorsport. 200 were released to the United States. The fancy name of the BMW R100RS Motorsport might lead you to believe that there …
2004 Aprilia RSV 1000 R Nera – 1 of 200
One of the best (though arguably underappreciated) superbikes to ever come out of Italy was the Aprilia RSV 1000 R. In 2004, Aprilia decided to amp up the RSVR with the Aprilia RSV 1000 R Nera, first in their “Dream Series” of bikes.
Ultimate Monster – 2007 Ducati Monster S4RS Testastretta
Post-Listing Update: This Ducati Monster S4RS Testastretta got up to $5,500 but did not meet reserve.

2001 Buell S3T Thunderbolt
As I was admiring a friend’s Ducati Paul Smart this weekend, I remarked that more motorcycles should have frames in colors other than black. This Buell S3T Thunderbolt (in addition to being the basis of the police-spec Defender) features a very distinctive paint scheme of Volcano Gray plastics on an Orange frame and wheels. This beauty is being sold by …
