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.
Clad in CF – 2012 Ducati Monster 1100 EVO
It looks like the seller of this Monster took any piece that could be replaced with carbon fiber and made it happen.

1 of 55 – 1983 Harley-Davidson FXSB Dealer Award

The Honda CR250M Elsinore is historically significant as it was the first serious dirt bike to come straight from an OEM – other bikes required serious modifications from the factory floor.

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!

Video Intermission – Allen Millyard’s Kawasaki Z1 “Super Six”
It lives! Some of you may already be aware of Allen Millyard’s latest project – if not, he’s been busy turning a 4-cylinder Kawasaki Z1 into a 6-cylinder Kawasaki Z1 that he’s calling the “Super Six.” He’ also been documenting most of his work on YouTube, and he’s just shared his first test ride…
