Our general policy on the new auction site is that we don’t relist bikes that didn’t sell. But we make exceptions when a seller is willing to relist with no reserve so we know the bike’s going to a new owner! That’s the case with this Ninja 750R, which is owned by American roadracer Steve Rapp.
New Auction Bike – 2005 Honda RC51 SP2
Today on the auction site we’ve got a SP2 version of the Honda RC51 in the less-common black – and I love it because it’s got Sato pipes!
New Auction Bike – 2016 Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory
Today on the auction site we’ve got a Tuono Factory from the first year of APRC (Aprilia Performance Ride Control) – an advanced suite of electronics with traction control as well as independent wheelie and launch control that perfectly complements the glorious motor. This example’s got a few goodies such as a Graves slip on pipe and OFT Stage 2 …
New Auction Bike – 1997 Ducati 916
Today on the auction site we’ve got an example of one of the most beautiful motorcycles of all time. This one’s got just 294 miles on the odometer!
Union Motorcycles Build – 2002 Ducati 900SS Custom
Something really magical happened in the fall of 2009. A group of guys, spending time together building motorcycles decided that they had enough interest in their work to start a company. Union Motorcycles say that they are careful to not call their work restorations, they prefer “renovations”. Whatever they want to call it, after a quick look at the work …
UK Spec – 1986 Honda VF1000FF
The US first got a 1,000cc Interceptor from Honda in 1984 with the VF1000F. In Europe, the same bike was given the model name of VF1000FE. In April of 1985, the bike evolved into the VF1000FF, a model that was sold in Europe, Canada, Australia, and South Africa. The US never got the FF, which was discontinued in August 1987. …
Brand New – 2017 Bimota BB3
This was the bike that was supposed to save Bimota (again). Obviously, it didn’t, but here we’ve got a still new example of their swan song.
New Auction Bike – 1996 Aprilia RS250
Ending soon on the auction site we’ve got a CA-plated example of the Aprilia RS250. Back in 2012, Visor Down gushed over the RS250, saying “the real problem with the RS250 is that if you want one, a good one, you’re too late.” Well, here you go!
CR750 Tribute – 1971 Honda CB750
Honda’s CR750 was an evolution of the ubiquitous CB750, sold in very limited numbers as kits to dealers to convert the stock bikes. Finding a genuine model is very difficult (and very expensive) nowadays, which is why riders often like to take current CB750s and turn them into their own versions of the CR. This one isn’t real, but it’s …
$3,430 Off – 2019 Husqvarna Svartpilen/Vitpilen 701
I’m a big fan of both the Vitpilen 701 and the Svartpilen 701, though an easy criticism is the $11,999 MSRP. But they sure get a lot more interesting if a dealer was knocking off $3,430 from the price…
New Auction Bike – 2008 Ducati Monster S4RS Tricolore
Today on the auction site we’ve got the ultimate Monster – at least back in 2008.
No Reserve – 2005 Ducati 999R
In 2005, Ducati started exporting the 999R in earnest to satisfy the AMA homolgation requirements (the year before, just 50 were sold). For $29,995, this motorcycle was just about as close to a WSBK bike you could get.
New Auction Bike – 1984 Honda Interceptor VF750F
Today on the auction site we’ve got a low-mileage example of the first generation Interceptor. Is it the best model name in motorcycling?
Motowheels Project Bike – 2010 Ducati Streetfighter Custom
I’m personally a huge fan of the Ducati Streetfighter, in terms of both performance and aesthetics. While I’m excited to see the new production V4 Streetfighter come out soon, the models from a decade ago are still total gems of bikes. This particular 2010 Streetfighter features a ridiculously long list of more than five-dozen up-specced aftermarket parts. Practically every piece …
