Full of cutting edge tech for the time, such as the rear monoshock, the IT465 is revered by many as the best of the IT (International Trial) bikes that Yamaha ever made. Though Yamaha would eventually made a 490 cc version of this bike, many felt that the bigger bore required to make more power wasn’t worth the trade-off of …

1964 Royal Enfield Interceptor 750
Royal Enfield used to have the rights to one of the best names in motorcycling – Interceptor. Unfortunately, they eventually lost it to Honda, so they have to call their new twin the “INT650”.

Brand New – 2018 Aprilia Tuono Factory
The Tuono is a brilliant motorcycle – there’s no other way to put it. It’s frequently the winner of “Best Standard” or even “Bike of the Year”, and the Factory edition is even more special. I got the opportunity to sample a Tuono Factory for a cover story in Motorcyclist magazine, and I’ll never forget what it sounded like ripping …
Harley-Davidson VR1000 Tribute – 1996 Buell S1
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 …

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

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.
