This year was relatively tame in terms of the gags that motorcycling companies put out for April Fools, but here’s everything I encountered – which one’s your favorite?
The Fugitive by Radical Guzzi
Post Listing Update: The Fugitive did not meet reserve despite 40 bids up to $14,500 on eBay in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Earlier this week I featured a highly modified classic Guzzi that got more “nays” than “yays”. So let’s see what you guys think about a highly modified modern Guzzi…

One of my favorite dealerships in the country is Blue Moon Cycle in Norcross, Georgia, and it’s all due to the passion of owner John Landstrom. You’ve seen his bikes all over Bike-urious in my recaps of events like the Mecum Las Vegas auctions or the Quail Motorcycle Gathering, but today I’m featuring the shop because they’ve just taken on …
Custom MG – “1984” Radical Guzzi V12
Post Listing Update: This Radical Guzzi did not get any interest at the BIN of $39,900. Sadly, there’s not a V12 in this bike. But the idea of more “oomph” is still the prevalent concept. The owner of Radical Guzzi (Stefan Bronold) was approached by a customer that wanted a custom V7 with more power. Stefan’s response was to easily …
Picture Intermission – The Motorcycles of MotoDoffo
Last week I was at the launch of the Honda CBR650R/CB650R (UDPATE: here’s my review), and Honda took us to lunch at Doffo Winery in Temecula, California. What I’m doing for lunch isn’t normally something I’d bother you with, but the owner of Doffo Winery (Marcelo Doffo) is a bike nut and he’s converted the former barrel room into a …
Italian Two-Stroke – 1957 Moto Guazzoni
Founded in Milan in 1935 by one Aldo Guazzoni, a seasoned mechanic, engineer, and motorcycle dealer, Moto Guazzoni was a moped, trike, and motorcycle manufacturer operating into the late 1970s. The company first got its start making mopeds, but eventually pivoted to producing utility three-wheelers (think Italian H-D Servicar)—churning out utilitarian trikes similar to MV Agusta’s Motocarro and Moto Guzzi’s …

Fresh off his report from this weekend’s AMCA Sunshine meet, David N’s also got a recap of his time at the combined VMA/VJMC show in Eustis:

View PostGuzzi-Based Greatness – 2001 Ghezzi-Brian SuperTwin 1100
Post Listing Update: This Ghezzi-Brian did not get any interest with the BIN of $30,000. Last week Abhi featured a beautiful 2004 Moto Guzzi MGS-01, and as exotic and rare as it is, it’s got nothing on the machine it was derived from. Ghezzi-Brian is a company you’ve probably never heard of before. The boutique Italian outfit specializes in producing …
