Last month we saw some great bikes – but did they sell? And if so, for how much?

1 of 700 – 1961 Velocette Viceroy
Post Listing Update: This Viceroy did not get any interest at the opening bid of $12,500. One of Velocette’s least-known creations is a scooter called the Viceroy. It made sense in theory but sales were poor and production ended after just 700 were sold over 4 years (1960-1964). Obviously, they’re now hard to find, especially in the US.
1994 Yamaha FZR400RR-SP
Post Listing Update: This FZR did not get any interest at the BIN of $8,900. It was relisted at similar amount with the same result. The owner of White Knuckle Motorsports in Springville, Utah has an collection of JDM imports that consistently find their way onto eBay. Today’s feature is a bit more special than most, as the FZR400RR-SP is …
1980 Testi Comfort 50
Every once in a while, you find someone who’s willing to invest a bunch of time and money into a motorcycle that most people would not think is worth. This seller knows what he’s done, noting that “I have more money and time in this machine than I could ever recover by selling it…I do projects like this to keep …

Back in April, I let you know about a large auction by Mach IV Motors as they were clearing out 180 motorcycles. They accumulated more parts and bikes throughout the year, and it looks like it’s time for another auction!
CA Titled – 1986 Honda NS400R
Post Sale Update: This NS400R sold for the opening bid of $7,800 in Vista, California on eBay. In 1983, Freddie Spencer became the world’s youngest 500cc World Champion, and he did it on a Honda V3. Honda responded by releasing a 250cc production bike to commemorate the win, but it took them until 1985 to build something closer to the …

No Reserve – 1975 Triumph Trident T160 Project
Post Sale Update: This Trident sold for $4,427 after 34 bids on eBay. Per the seller, this numbers-matching Trident (VIN: T160DK03766) was found sitting in a private collection. It kicks over so he’s listing it as a “non-running project”, and there’s plenty of photos for you to verify the cosmetic condition with. This could be a fun and relatively quick …
2019 Honda CRF450L with 122 Miles
Honda made plenty of news earlier this year with the launch of a 450cc dual-sport that was dirt-focused but could link trails with reasonable comfort on pavement.
1973 Auranthetic Charger
Post Listing Update: This Auranthetic did not get any interest at the BIN of $1,450. A few years ago, Vy went to Chicago to film an episode of Chicago PD. I decided to join her, and while I was in town I visited a reader with an amazing collection of motorcycles. He had some incredible stuff, and I knew we’d …
Restored – 1981 Maico 490 Mega 2
Ending soon on the new auction site is a restored example of what Motocross Action Magazine called (in a period review) “the greatest bike ever made.” It’s met reserve, so it’s going to find a new owner – will it be you?
