Last month we featured some great bikes – but did they sell? And if so, for how much?
What Do You Want To Know? 2018 BMW G310GS
View PostMovie Star – 2006 Moto Guzzi Griso
Briefly used in “Surrogates“, this Griso was the star of a chase scene with some cop cars and a police chopper with Bruce Willis.
“Red Head” – 1970 Malanca Testa Rossa 50
Post Listing Update: This Malanca did not meet reserve despite 30 bids up to $3,051. Based out of Bologna, Italy, Malanca was a motorcycle manufacturer that had some success in small displacement racing. This is one of their impressive scooters, a 50cc “Testa Rossa”. That translates to Red Head, and depending on who you listen to the name either came …
2005 Ducati 749R
Post Listing Update: Initially, this 749R did not meet reserve with 18 bids up to $8,300. It was relisted and then pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown. The styling of Ducati’s 749R was polarizing: it seems like for every person that liked the way it looked, you could find four people who didn’t. But thanks to a slipper …
Team Cycle World/Attack Superbike – 1993 Yamaha YZF-750SP
Post Listing Update: Despite 28 bids up to $12,500, this Yamaha did not meet reserve. Back in the days when motorcycle magazines actually had money to goof around with expensive projects, Cycle World partnered with Attack Performance to campaign a Yamaha YZF-750SP in two runnings of the Daytona 200 as well as a World Superbike race at Laguna Seca. It …
What Do You Want To Know? 2018 MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR
View PostEnding Soon with No Reserve – 1968 BSA Firebird Scrambler
Post Sale Update: This BSA sold for $5,668 after 26 bids on eBay. Some Beezer fans consider the Firebird Scrambler to be the best bike that BSA made, which might make sense considering it was the last new design they created before they went out of business in 1973. It wasn’t as popular as the Gold Star but by this …
American As F**k – Nitro/Turbo-Charged NASCAR Show Piece
For a time, NASCAR was experiencing rapid growth, attracting legions of new fans and deep-pocketed corporate sponsors. Though it was a far cry from the sport’s humble roots, the well-funded association was once poised to become more popular than football (according to early 2000’s projections), and as races drew larger crowds and received better TV ratings, more and more corporate …
First Ride – 2018 Yamaha MT-07
View Post#666 – 1973 Kawasaki Z1
Post Sale Update: This Z1 sold for $19,666 after 36 bids on eBay. I’m on a bit of a Z1 kick at the moment as I recently got to ride #265. This one’s got some issues, but what else would you expect from a bike with the serial number of the devil?
Video Intermission – The Vintagent’s One Minute Moto Winners
The Vintagent’s first One Minute Moto contest is over and the winners have been announced!
1968 Velocette Venom Endurance
Post Sale Update: This Velo sold for $9,200 after 36 bids on eBay. Per Paul d’Orléans, the Venom Endurance was a street version of the Venom Scrambler – despite the name it did not have a very large fuel tank. It does, however, have an excellent model name! Grace’s Guide further suggests that the Endurance was introduced in 1956 and …
1985 Yamaha RZ350 Kenny Roberts
Post Sale Update: This RZ sold for $6,700 after 16 bids on eBay. Only sold in the states from 84-85, these were the first bikes in the US to come equipped with catalytic converters and the first Yamaha street bike in the US to use a perimeter frame. They were also one of the last street-legal two-strokes available in this …
1997 Moto Guzzi Sport 1100i
Post Sale Update: After being relisted, this Guzzi sold for a BIN of $8,700. More of a sport-tourer than an outright sportbike, the 1100i (i is for fuel injection) is a beautiful anomaly from the usual Guzzi fare of torquey cruisers. Don’t worry – this still packs the trademark V-Twin, but in this incarnation the motor is surrounded by Brembo …
