12-16-2019 Update: This VR1000 tribute has been up for sale for a while, but reader Rod M. just shared it with me and I see that it’s had a price cut so I think it’s worth mentioning again. Find it here on Craigslist for $7,500 – does that price entice you? 11-4-18 Update: Over a year later, this bike is …
2012 Husqvarna Nuda 900R
Post Sale Update: This Nuda initially did not meet reserve, but the high bidder later met the reserve of $9,000 + 7% buyers fee = $9,630. A week ago or so, I had a “Guess That Bike” about a motorcycle with an interesting front fender, and I shared that it would be coming up on our auction site very soon. …
1983 Honda CX650 Turbo
Jeff Pamer: In the eighties I was quite young, and from that perspective I thought the future was going to be amazing. No doom and gloom on the horizon. I could look forward to flying cars, angular designs, headlights that pop out of the hood of cars, small televisions to watch anywhere, and space travel. Technology was in its infancy, …
16 Miles – 2003 Bultaco Astro 50
Post Listing Update: This Astro did not meet reserve despite 3 bids up to $2,800 on eBay in Corona, California. UPDATE: I made the mistake of taking the seller at face value on this one when he or she called it a Lobito. This is actually an Astro (who would have thought, considering it says “Astro” on the side). The …
6 Miles – 2015 MV Agusta F4 RC
Continuing the trend of 6 mile Italian exotics on our new auction site (the 916 Senna I featured yesterday ended up selling for $32,207) is this 2015 MV Agusta F4 RC. This is another bike from Danny McKenna’s collection – he bought it new and then immediately it on display. While the F4 is special, this is the F4 RC …
6 Miles – 1995 Ducati 916 Senna
Post Sale Update: This 916 Senna sold for $32,207 (including buyer’s fee) on Iconic Motorbike Auctions Powered by Bike-urious. On the auction side of things, we just received a collection of bikes from Danny McKenna – CEO of McKenna Motors. I won’t bug you with every single one of them, but there’s some special stuff with super low miles. One …
1976 Honda CB400F
Jeff Pamer: Sometimes the design of a bike, or an aspect of it leaves a mark on history. The Suzuki Katana’s angular faring, Indian’s swooping fenders, and Kawasaki green – just to name a few. Honda has certainly left a few marks along the way, but nothing quite like the exhaust design on the CB400F. The exhaust lookss like water …
1995 Ducati 900SS/SP
Post Sale Update: After being relisted, this Ducati sold for $4,500 after 12 bids on eBay in Sonoma, California. SP = Sport Production, and it was a variant of the 900 SuperSport that was only available in North America.
2009 Harley-Davidson XR1200
The odometer shows 9,200 miles, but you wouldn’t guess that based on the cosmetic condition of this beautiful XR1200 – one of the best bikes that Harley has made in the last 50 years.
1991 Moto Guzzi 1000S
Post Listing Update: This Guzzi 1000S did not meet reserve despite 33 bids up to $12,100 in Wichita Falls, Texas. It was immediately relisted but bidding only got up to $11,300. The seller then tried one last relist at a BIN of $15,000 with no takers. In 1990, Moto Guzzi released the 1000S, styled to look like an update of …
1985 Suzuki RG400 Gamma
Post Sale Update: This RG400 Gamma sold for $7,500 after 19 bids on eBay in Raleigh, North Carolina. You know the RG500 – but did you know that Suzuki made a 400cc version for Asian markets?
1984 Ducati Pantah 650SL
Post Listing Update: This Pantah 650SL did not meet reserve despite 28 bids up to $8,601.01 in Wainscott, New York. Another day, another Italian beauty out of Stuart Parr’s collection. Yesterday’s Gilera Saturno was my favorite of the current offerings, but even that stunner isn’t as visually striking as this Pantah 650SL, one of just 288 ever built.
1990 Gilera Saturno 500 Bialbero
View Post712 Miles – 2002 Ducati 998S Ben Bostrom Replica – 127/155
Post Sale Update: This Ben Bostrom Rep sold for $12,500 after 43 bids on eBay in Mukilteo, Washington. When Ben Bostrom was competing in AMA Superbike with a 998S, he raced with the number 155. So when Ducati decided to sell a limited edition replica, the production quantity was obviously…310. OK, that might not make sense at first glance, but …
California Superbike School’s Fleet – 2018 BMW S1000RR
There are several great track schools out there, and I wouldn’t pretend to know which one is the best because I’ve never taken any of them. With that said, when I was at the launch of the 2020 S1000RR at Barber, BMW had some of the staff of California Superbike School in attendance in a support role and I was …
