Last month, Alta announced that they were updating the dual-sport Redshift EX model with the new EXR. To clear out space for the new model, Alta recently started offering $3,500 factory rebates on the 2018 EX. If you’ve ever been curious about what it’s like to own an electric bike, this is probably the sign you’ve been waiting for.
Mid-Century Brit Single – 1950 Vincent Comet
Vincent Motorcycles are some of the most elite and prized two-wheeled examples in existence. Back in January, a 1951 Vincent Black Lightning became the most expensive motorcycle ever sold after fetching a cool $929K at the Las Vegas Bonhams auction. Fortunately, you don’t need to shell out close to a million to get your hands on a clean Vincent example. …
1968 Kawasaki Bushwacker F3 175
Post Sale Update: This Bushwacker sold for $1,826 after 31 bids on eBay in Sanford, Florida, but there’s a lot more to the story. From commenter Rod down below: “Abhi, did you know I was awarded this bike. Then the seller backed out! His made up high bid was $1850 I believe. My top bid was $1325 I think. He …
1 of 100 – 2007 Ducati SportClassic 1000 Special Edition
In 2007, Ducati released a limited edition of just 100 bikes exclusively for the North American market. 90 were sold in the US and the remaining 10 were sold to our northerly neighbors of Canada. That production number actually makes it one of the rarest Ducatis made in recent history, and I adore the combination of classic design with modern …
1 of 61 – 1995 Ducati Supermono
Post Listing Update: This Supermono did not get any interest at the opening bid of $149,900. It was relisted at the same price with the same outcome. In the majestic history of the Italian firm, the Ducati Supermono is one of the greats. Arguably one of the most collectable Ducatis ever produced, just 67 Supermonos were built exclusively for racing …
Fascinating Motor – Meirson/Harley-Powered Speedway Build
View PostL. Ron Hubbard Owned – 1975 Yamaha XS650B
Post Listing Update: Shocking nobody, this bike got no interest at the $50,000 asking bid. It’s been relisted at a 50% discount but I won’t bother sharing it again unless I see a significant further price cut. 7-1-18 Update: Over two years later, Calvin R notes that this Hubbard-owned Yamaha is back up for sale. The price keeps plummeting, but …
No Reserve – 2017 Benelli TnT 600 Tornado
Post Sale Update: This Benelli originally sold for $3,550 after 25 bids on eBay. HOWEVER, it seems that the buyer flaked (or maybe the buyer was trying to artificially inflate the price) as the bike was relisted, selling for $2,550 after 10 bids on eBay. Benelli has a long and illustrious history, but as of late it hasn’t been much …
1953 BSA Golden Flash A10
Post Listing Update: This A10 got no interest at the opening bid of $5,400. It was then relisted and pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown. A 646cc parallel twin, the BSA Golden Flash was the predecessor of the Super Rocket. It was available in black and chrome, but also in the gold paint scheme shown here that led …
Hageman Cycles Build – 1982 Yamaha Virago
Greg Hageman has made quite a name for himself by customizing Yamaha V-twins, and his work with Viragos deserves special praise. I’ve featured one before, but this one differs as Greg’s inspiration was a Yamaha DT360.
The Captain America Bike
6-30-18 Update: The last time I featured this bike, I didn’t mind there wasn’t as an asking price but I was very curious. Now I know, as it’s available on that auction site with an unmet opening bid of $100,000 or a BIN of $300,000. Let’s see what the market thinks it’s worth. Find it here on eBay. In the …
The Original – 1971 Ducati Scrambler 450
In 2015, Ducati launched its modern Scrambler range, a hip, modular standard available in a variety of flavors. The Italian marque’s Scrambler lineup now accounts for just over a quarter of the company’s total sales, and this is largely thanks to trendy vintage aesthetics which were directly borrowed from the original Ducati Scrambler going back over 25 years ago.
1 of 500 – Ducati Monster 1200 25° Anniversario
New for 2018, Ducati is about to release a limited edition of the iconic Monster to celebrate 25 years of production. Unlike most of the bikes featured here on Bike-urious, snagging one of these is going to require a visit to your local dealership.
Raffle Only Mini Cruiser – 1983 Yamaha RX50
Throughout motorcycling history, we’ve seen manufacturers use a myriad of different methods in an effort to lure in customers. This little 50cc Yamaha is one of said methods. Interestingly, the RX50 was never officially sold in showrooms. Instead, American Yamaha dealerships were each given two RX50’s which were to be raffled off – the whole idea was to draw in …
Video Intermission – Petrolicious Features Dan Untura
Petrolicious has a history of making some fantastic videos, but they’re usually focused around automobiles. This time around we get a profile of Dan Untura, who runs Escobar Motors out of Moldovia.
