1970 Yamaha RT1 360
Post Sale Update: This RT1 sold for $3,500 but the buyer must have bailed as it was immediately relisted and then sold for $3,155.25 after 11 bids on eBay in Wichita Falls, Texas. The seller of this RT1 starts off by saying that he has “a bike that needs to be seen and enjoyed.” It’s claimed to have been sitting …
1980 Moto Guzzi “1000Ss”
Post Listing Update: did not meet reserve despite 32 bids up to $6,650 on eBay in Easton, Pennsylvania. Guzzi fans know that 1000Ss isn’t an official model, hence the quotes. But this is still an interesting custom built out of a variety of Guzzi parts – Tonti G5 frame, California 1,000cc engine, Le Mans bodywork, and a Sprint dustbin fairing.

Never Ridden – 1988 Husqvarna 430 Automatic
Post Sale Update: This Husky sold for $7,150 at Mecum Kansas City. Mecum’s auctioning off a few cars in Kansas City on December 5-7, but they’re sneaking in two bike lots as well. One is a modern Harley-Davidson with a freaky clown-themed paint job that I’m not interested in – the other is this pristine 80s Husky.
No Reserve – 1942 Harley-Davidson XA
Post Sale Update: This XA sold for $26,700 after 39 bids on eBay in San Diego, California. All the buzz at Harley-Davidson might be about the Pan America, but here’s a Harley “adventure bike” that you can ride right now!
2007 Bimota DB6 Delirio
Post Listing Update: This Delirio did not get any action at the BIN of $14,500 or best offer on eBay. One of the better model names in Bimota history, the DB6 Delirio is a naked standard that was part of Bimota’s rebirth once Roberto Comini acquired the firm in 2003. It was the “cheapest” Bimota in the lineup, though it’s …

Display Only – 1972 Harley-Davidson XR750 Replica
Post Listing Update: This XR750 sold for $24,000, but the buyer presumably backed out as it was relisted and didn’t get interest at an opening ask of $22,500. This is claimed to be one of ten tribute bikes to Evel Knievel that were painted by his original painter, George Sedlak. But “due to the high cost of XR750 engine parts, …
