Post Sale Update: this ZRX sold for $5,029 on IMA in Brooklyn, New York. Built as a tribute to the KZ1000 piloted by Eddie Lawson while winning the 1981 and 1982 AMA Superbike titles, the ZRX series is a muscle-car version of the UJM. This low-mileage example is adorned in the less common pairing of Candy Lightning Blue/Galaxy Silver and …

Post Listing Update: this Ghezzi Brian was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown. 6-4-20 Update: Four years later, this bike is back on eBay and it’s correctly identified as a Super Twin.

1985 Honda VF1000R
Post Listing Update: This VF-R did not get any interest at the opening bid, which was lowered to $7,000. When it was released, the VF1000R was a bit of a revelation: it was Honda’s flagship, designed to showcase what the Japanese firm was capable of. It was also a huge tease to US riders, because it was initially only released …
Coppa Italia Clone – 2002 Moto Guzzi V11 Scura
Take the Moto Guzzi V11, add some higher spec components, black paint scheme, and limited production numbers, and you get the Scura. Approximately 700 examples of the Scura were built, and they were upgraded with Ohlins suspension (forks, shock, and steering damper), carbon fiber panels, and a single disc clutch/aluminum flywheel that was supposed to be more aggressive, though there …

Find it in Grover Beach, California for a slightly higher price of $12,500 (and a leaking oil pan gasket) here on ADVRider.

Rider Magazine Feature – 1983 Suzuki GS750E
I often link to Rider Magazine Retrospectives by Clement Salvadori to illustrate the history of featured bikes for sale – this time it’s a bit different, because today’s feature is the specific bike that Clement wrote about in his story.
2000 Moto Guzzi V11 Sport
An evolution of the incredible V7 Sport, this Moto Guzzi V11 Sport was a heavy (546 pounds wet weight) bruiser of a sportbike that was distinctive and rare.
1986 Moto Guzzi Lario V65
Post Sale Update: This Lario sold for $2,125 after 10 bids on eBay in Beverly, Massachusetts. The Moto Guzzi Lario V65 was almost like a baby LeMans, but it was one of the fastest pushrod 650cc bikes ever built. Capable of nearly 125mph, it at one point broke multiple Land Speed Records, and the distinctive bodywork made this MG stand …
Restomod – 1980 Honda CBX
Thanks to a cosmetic refresh, Ohlins suspension front and rear, Brembo calipers front and rear, and a few other goodies, this CBX has a done of modern performance to go along with the classic looks.
Cooley Clone – 1978 Suzuki GS1000E Custom
Suzuki never officially called the GS1000S a Wes Cooley replica – that name was affectionately gifted by riders. Just 1,200 were imported between 1979-1980, meaning they’re hard to find and fairly valuable. Consider this a replica of a replica, as it’s a stock GS1000E that’s been given an aftermarket fairing and a paint job to look like the Wes Cooley …
In England – 1999 Honda CBR900RR Evolution TT100 Fireblade
There are some bikes across the ocean where I wonder if it’s worth the shipping cost to import it – this is not one of those bikes. The CBR900RR Evolution TT100 Fireblade (affectionately known as the “Evo Blade”) was an official Honda offering in the UK, built to celebrate their 100th Isle of Man TT win.
1978 Triumph Bonneville T140V
If you’re looking for a Bonneville to ride, the second generation (T140) can be very appealing as they’re typically cheaper than the T120 and they have some quality upgrades: 100 more cubic centimeters of displacement, a front disc brake, and an additional gear in the transmission. This was Triumph’s way of combating the onslaught of advancements from Japan – but …
2007 KTM 990 Super Duke
Walter Barlow has been a frequent contributor to Bike-urious over the years – this time he’s got a bike for sale! I’ll leave the description to him:
1,825 Miles – 1976 Moto Guzzi 850 Le Mans
Post Listing Update: This Guzzi did not meet reserve despite 34 bids up to $11,850 on eBay in Concord, New Hampshire. In Moto Guzzi’s long history, there are several models that have stood the test of time. But for many, the ultimate offering is the first gen LeMans.
