If one is good, two must be better, right? That must be what reader Jim A is thinking, as he’s snapped up two Yamaha SDR200s that we’ve featured here on Bike-urious this year.
Charlie Mavros Estate Auction of 200+ Motorcycles
Kyriacos “Charlie” Mavros passed away last year in a motorhome crash while en route to an AHRMA race in Carolina, and his incredible collection of motorcycles (mostly sportbikes) is being offered up with no reserve in November by J.

New Auction Bike with No Reserve – 1990 Kawasaki Ninja 750R
Post Sale Update: This Ninja sold for $2,450 on Iconic Motorbike Auctions in Marina del Rey, California. Our general policy on the new auction site is that we don’t relist bikes that didn’t sell. But we make exceptions when a seller is willing to relist with no reserve so we know the bike’s going to a new owner! That’s the …

Today on the auction site we’ve got a SP2 version of the Honda RC51 in the less-common black – and I love it because it’s got Sato pipes!
Still New For $8K – 2017 Honda Africa Twin DCT
Honda of Russellville in Arkansas has a leftover Africa Twin DCT that they’re offering up for $8,985 “out the door”. Considering the original retail price was nearly $14,000 plus tax/title/license, this represents quite a deal if you don’t feel the need to shift for yourself.
VW Powered – 1965 BMW R60/2 Sidecar
Post Sale Update: this Willis sold for $8,000 after 19 bids on eBay in Santa Ynez, California. You guys seemed to get a kick out of the VW-powered R60 Tim found earlier in the week, so here’s one that ups the ante with a sidecar!

View PostNovember Customs – 1991 Kawasaki Zephyr 750 Custom
Last month we featured an ’83 K100-based R80GS tribute project from the UK’s November Customs, and while I was a fan of their Bavarian build, it’s got nothing on their more recent 1991 Kawasaki Zephyr custom. Inspired by endurance racers, the Japanese four-banger features modern top-shelf components including inverted (Showa) Ducati 848 forks and triples, and Triumph Thruxton 1200 wheels …
New Auction Bike – 2016 Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory

This example’s got a few goodies such as a Graves slip on pipe and OFT Stage 2 …
August 2019 Result Highlights

Today on the auction site we’ve got an example of one of the most beautiful motorcycles of all time. This one’s got just 294 miles on the odometer!
No Reserve – 1965 Honda Dream CA77
Post Sale Update: This Dream sold for $2,575 after 37 bids on eBay in Durham, Connecticut. I don’t feature many of these because I think they’re kind of ugly, but I like that this hard-to-find blue example is being offered with no reserve.
