Starting with this… …the seller of this slash 5 (who also happens to be the creator of Moto-Skiveez) basically took it down to the frame, cleaned it all up, and put it back together.
1975 Ducati 860 GT
Sold for just two years, the Ducati 860GT was a relatively angular bike that didn’t end up being as popular as Ducati might have hoped. It ended up evolving into the much-more loved Darmah. The 864cc twin yielded 60 horsepower, and it was capable of hitting 109 miles per hour. The GT was sold just in ’74 and ’75 – …
263 Miles – 1981 Honda CM400A Hondamatic
Post Listing Update: This Honda was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown. I don’t find these to be particularly interesting in general, however it is unexpected to see one with such low miles in running condition.
Restored El Camino – 1963 Suzuki T10
Post Listing Update: This old-school Suzuki did not get any interest at the BIN of $9,999 on eBay. Introduced in 1962, Suzuki’s T10 had different names for different markets – in most countries it was the Colleda, but here in the US it was the “El Camino.” 1963 was the first year of Suzuki’s operation in the US, thanks to …
1 Mile in England – 198x Honda CBX750P Police
Typically utilized in Asian markets, the Police version of Honda’s CBX750 was also used by cops in Ireland – which may be why this unused example is currently sitting at a dealership in England. The odometer shows just 1.6 miles!
CR500 Tribute – 1978 Honda CB550
With red paint, a blue seat, and gold wheels, this CB550 was “built in 2018 to pay homage to the 86 Honda CR500, coolest vintage MX bike hands down.” What do you think of it?
1982 Honda CB650SC
A claimed “barn find” that was freshened up over the last 8 months, this CB650SC has under 2,000 miles.
No Reserve – 1971 Honda CB500 Four
Post Sale Update: This CB500 sold for $2,650 after 32 bids on eBay in Royal Oak, Michigan. Cycle News called the CB500 “the thinking man’s motorcycle” when it debuted in 1971 because it offered up many of the pluses found in the big brother CB750 but in a package that offered better handling, smoother motor, and lower weight. For more …
Motorcycle Classics Feature – 1958 Honda Benly JC58
Post Listing Update: This Benly did not meet reserve with 1 bid up to $15,000 on eBay in Chicago, Illinois. Featured in the November/December 2017 issue of Motorcycle Classics, this Honda Benly has undergone a restoration and is one of few running examples in the US as the model was never officially sold here.
Free Shipping to the US – 1972 Moto Guzzi Nuovo Falcone
Post Listing Update: This Nuovo Falcone did not get any interest at the BIN of $6,950 on eBay. Before Guzzi became famous for their venerable V-Twin, they were known for the flat single found in the Airone/Falcone. The Nuovo Falcone was the imaginatively-named successor to the Falcone, produced between ’69 and ’76.
2007 Ducati SportClassic GT1000

Find it for sale in Phoenix, Arizona for $9,000 here on Craigslist. Did anyone see the Tron Sequel from 2010? I saw it in the theater …
No Reserve – 1967 Sears Allstate Puch 250 Twingle
Post Sale Update: This Twingle sold for $1,420 after 25 bids on eBay in Onsted, Michigan. In 1967, Puch updated the styling of their 250 Twingle (two pistons share one combustion chamber). It lost some curves but gained some color, and the distinctive drivetrain was left alone. I’ve featured a couple of these in the past and they never seem …
300cc Swap – 2014 Honda Grom
Like the Grom but think it needs some more oomph? Thanks to the engine out of a 2016 Honda CB300F, this one will now top 100 miles per hour.

View Post1982 Kawasaki KZ1100
In 1982, Kawasaki grabbed some headlines with their KZ1000-based Eddie Lawson Replica. But for riders who wanted 100+ horsepower in a more relaxed ride, the shaft-drive KZ1100A was sitting right alongside the ELR in Kawi dealerships.
