It looks like the seller of this Monster took any piece that could be replaced with carbon fiber and made it happen.
CA Titled – 1994 Honda RVF400 NC35
Post Sale Update: This RVF sold for $10,272 on Iconic Motorbike Auctions in Marina del Rey, California. My buddy Glenn has been the source of some of my favorite features on Bike-urious over the years – he’s always got some fascinating JDM imports (like this Suzuki SW-1). Today he’s got a Honda NC35 that’s equipped with Tyga bodywork and a …
1993 Moto Guzzi Daytona
Post Sale Update: This Daytona sold for $15,100 after 19 bids on eBay in Timnath, Colorado. Earlier this week, I featured a red ’93 Daytona with a sky-high asking price, the original MSO, and just 922 miles. We don’t know what the asking price on this one is, but at least it’s something you wouldn’t feel bad riding. In fact, …
$12K in Carbon Fiber – 2016 Ducati Panigale 1299 S
Post Listing Update: This Ducati did not get any interest at the BIN of $17,500 or best offer. Hope you like carbon fiber! With over $12,000 worth of satin finish CF from Shift-Tech, this one-owner 1299 Panigale is offered up “by a 55 year old enthusiast who rode every single weekend, and has decided to upgrade to the 2020 V4R.”
Never Been Titled – 1993 Moto Guzzi Daytona
Dr. John Wittner made a name for himself in the late 80’s thanks to his ability to modify the hell out of MG’s – his bikes won consecutive US Endurance Championships, among other racers. Due to his success, the Guzzi factory asked him to come to Italy and help develop a superbike unlike anything the Italian firm had produced before. …
213 Miles – 1983 Harley-Davidson XR1000
Post Listing Update: This XR1000 did not meet reserve despite 22 bids up to $15,110 on eBay in Hebron, Ohio. The XR750 is one of Harley-Davidson’s most iconic motorcycles – though it was never intended to be street legal. But what if Harley took a XR motor and shoved it in a Sportster frame? Willie G himself had a similar …
Ending Soon with No Reserve – 1972 Kawasaki S2 Mach II 350
Post Listing Update: Tough to categorize this one – it sold for $10,320.11 after 9 bids in Tallmadge, Ohio…though it looks like the buyer fell through as the bike was then relisted and then pulled off of eBay. In 1972, Kawasaki offered up the 750cc H2, the 500cc H1, and the 350cc S2. There’s an example of the smallest option, …
1978 Ducati 900 Super Sport Darmah
Post Listing Update: This SSD did not meet reserve despite 21 bids up to $11,350 on eBay in Grand Rapids, Michigan. After the classic 750 GT of the 70s, Ducati looked to evolve with a simpler engine, and they ended up with the first ‘square case’ bevel twin – the 860 GT. It was a commercial flop, so just a …
1982 Suzuki Katana GS1000SZ
Post Listing Update: The BIN of this Katana was lowered to $10,500, but that wasn’t enough to get a buyer on eBay. One of the most defining motorcycle of the 80s, the Katana was inspiring enough that it just got a reboot this year. This is one of the first 1,000 built, and it’s got a couple of 1st place …
1993 Ducati 900 Superlight
Post Listing Update: This Superlight did not meet reserve despite 18 bids up to $7,501 on eBay in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. In 1992, Ducati took their 900 Supersport and added several choice extras to create a limited edition called the Ducati Superlight – 953 examples were built over 2 years. Unfortunately, for reasons unknown, in 1993 they removed almost all the …
1993 Ducati 888 SPO
Post Sale Update: This SPO sold for $10,800 after 19 bids on eBay in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The 888SPO seems to get less attention than the average limited edition Ducati, but values are definitely climbing up as riders are appreciating the wonder of a bike that won both the World Superbike and AMA Superbike championships in 1993. Just 390 were built …
250 Miles – 2016 Suzuki GSX-R600
The 600cc sportbike class hasn’t seen much advancement in the last several years – Kawasaki’s 2019 update of the ZX-6R (for just $9,999) is one of the few recent highlights. What that means, of course, is that you aren’t giving up much if you save a few bucks by going used for your next track toy or canyon carver. A …
Michigan Titled – 1985 Yamaha RZ500
Post Sale Update: This RZ500 sold for $18,099 after 20 bids on eBay in Muskegon, Michigan. Yamaha’s RZ500 (also known as the RD500LC) was a two-stroke rocket that was kept out of America thanks to EPA regulations. Only built between ’84 and ’86, it’s now a desirable collector’s bike – and this one’s already been titled in the US.
2006 BMW K1200R
“Gorilla in a Tuxedo.” That’s how Motorcycle.com described the K1200R, a naked version of BMW’s K1200S sportbike. It was fast, heavy, and a bit quirky – I liked it so much that I bought a used one for myself.
No Reserve – 1993 Suzuki GSX-R600
Post Sale Update: This Gixxer sold for $4,850 after 66 bids on eBay in Joppa, Maryland. After impressing motorcycle buyers with the 750 and 1100 GSX-Rs, Suzuki introduced a 600 in 1992. It had the same frame and plastics as the 750cc but the engine was watercooled. The bike was carried over unchanged for 1993, except for the graphics.
