Picture Intermission – 2nd Annual OG Moto Show Preview
I missed the Outlier’s Guild Moto Show last year because it was the same weekend of the Quail, but yesterday I got to check out a preview event and I have to say I’m impressed. If you’re local to LA and have an opportunity to go today (Saturday, March 31st), I’d say it’s well worth the $10 ticket at the …
Ending Soon with No Reserve – 1992 Yamaha TDM850
Post Sale Update: This TDM sold for $1,325 after 4 bids on eBay. I’m making this post quick because it ends in 30 minutes. But it’s a TDM850, which is awesome, and bidding is only up to $1,259 with no reserve. It runs, it has a Corbin seat and Yoshimura pipe, and it has 32,000 miles on it. Someone snap …
Show Winner – 2002 Indian Spirit
Post Listing Update: This Spirit did not get any interest at the BIN of $8,888. Indian now seems to be in good financial shape but for decades the company was a mess with few reasons for hope. One of the brief moments where it looked like the company had a future was at the turn of the century, when nine …
In Japan – 1980 Yamaha Vogel

Quick Gear Review – AGV Sport Apex Kevlar Jeans
It’s taken a few years, but gear companies have finally realized that some motorcycle riders don’t always want to look like Power Rangers. Jeans are a popular option but regular denim isn’t ideal in the unfortunate event where you get separated from your bike. AGV has enjoyed success with their Alloy line of jeans, but now they’ve added a new …
Limited Edition – 2014 Honda CBR1000RR SP
Post Listing Update: This CBR1000RR SP did not get any interest at the opening bid of $9,250. In 2014, Honda released a limited production version of their CBR1000RR sportbike. It wasn’t a homologation special as production was relatively high at 5,000 models worldwide, but it was still an upgrade over the base bike with an exclusive paint scheme, additional power, …

View Post1994 BMW R1100RS Battle of the Legends
One of the most popular American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association (AHRMA) race series with fans was the Battle of the Legends, a partnership with BMW that had motorcycling legends face off against each other on identically-prepped BMW bikes.

87 Miles – 2002 Ducati MH900E
Post Listing Update: This MH900E did not meet reserve despite 28 bids up to $20,100 on eBay. The MH900E started as a sketch from the legendary Pierre Terblanche. Ducati decided to post a survey on their website to see if its passionate fans would actually buy a production version. 300 people said yes, so Ducati decided to build…2,000 of them. …
1996 Honda CBR900RR Erion Racing
Post Listing Update: This CBR was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown. Erion Racing has had a long line of success flying around racetracks in AMA competition as Honda’s premier support team, so Honda paid tribute to them with a special paint job that emulated the Erion AMA racer. Honda would also do the same thing with the …
Still In The Crate – 1973 CZ 250 Enduro
Post Sale Update: This crated CZ sold for $10,400 after 57 bids on eBay. For 45 years, this CZ has sat in a crate, waiting to be unboxed in a day that I assume will probably never come.

This lovely V7 is one of the lowest serial number Guzzis in the US, and the third custodian is letting it go from his collection. Per Ian Falloon, it is one of 813 examples imported by the Premier Motor Corporation in ’67 to be sold in America.
110 of 300 – 2003 Aprilia RSV1000R Haga Replica
3-27-2018 Update: A year later, this bike is still up for sale. Now it’s got a discount down to $3,999 – is that enough to get you to overlook the cosmetic issues? Normally, a company releases a limited edition to celebrate a specific achievement like a certain amount of victories or an anniversary. For some reason, Aprilia decided to release …
0 Miles in Canada – 2005 Honda Rune
When Honda released the Rune, a few wealthy riders suspected that the factory custom might be a better investment than a motorcycle. Over a decade later, we’re starting to see some Runes come up for sale with minimal mileage. This example probably takes the cakes as it has 0 miles on the odometer. Or seeing as the bike is in …
