I actually featured another MGS-01 from this seller in Italy last month, so at first I thought this was simply a relist. Nope, turns out they just have another one in inventory. This is #34, and it has just 60 miles.
Funky Custom BSA D7 175 – The Navigator
This heavily modified BSA appropriately entitled “The Navigator” is one of the coolest one-off machines I’ve ever seen. The thing is just dripping with character and it possesses a wildly unique aesthetic with what appears to be an excellent fit and finish. While this example is undeniably pretty out there, it’s been masterfully executed and whether or not you like …
Bumblebee – 1991 BMW R100GS
Post Listing Update: This R100GS was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown. The black and yellow livery of the R100GS earned it the affectionate name of “bumblebee.” Here’s a relatively low mileage example that needs a new owner to cover some distance with it.
Triumph and Tribulations – Exploring the UK, Day 1 and 2
View PostNo Reserve Reg Pridmore Race Replica – 1974 BMW R90S
Post Sale Update: After 27 bids on eBay, this replica sold for $15,037. In 1976, the AMA introduced the Superbike class, a new championship for production-based bikes. BMW’s American importer, Butler & Smith, sponsored the #83 of Steve McLaughlin and the #163 of Reg Pridmore to compete, and the latter surprised most motorcycling fans by winning the inaugural championship on …
Ultra Rare Italian Classic in Belgium – 1975 Bimota SB1
Original Bimota models from the first few years after the company’s inception in 1975 are some of the most highly sought after sportbikes and racers in the world. The three founders who had originally met while in the ductwork industry quickly proved themselves and their ability to take a proven existing power plant from a large (initially Japanese) manufacturer and …
Production Racer – 1962 Honda CR110
Despite Honda’s RC110’s lack of success during competition, it nonetheless went on to become a highly prized machine. Honda also released a slightly lesser-known toned-down production version of the little racer – the CR110 – that was available to the public. Different sources make different claims but ultimately I’m confident saying around 210-230 CR’s were sold globally. Though I imagine …
Mark Your Calendar – 2008 VYRUS 985 C3 Carbon Edition
Vyrus is a tiny Italian manufacturer based out of Coriano that was founded in 2001 and got its start working alongside Bimota. Vyrus has a particular propensity for hub-center-steering models that are about as exotic as motorcycles can get. The brand’s 985 C3 model is a straight-up masterpiece. The little manufacturer uses Ducati engines in all of its machines, with …
1974 Moto Guzzi 850T/T3 Cafe Racer
Moe from Cycle Garden is selling off a customer’s bike that they have maintained for 15 years. It’s a hybrid of a 850T frame and a 850T3 motor, and the package has a few minor modifications. It was a daily rider so it has a couple of dents in the tank, but it also hopefully means that this has been …
Video Intermission – Black Beauty, Isle of Man TT 2017
This August, two of the ten Britten V1000s will participate in the Retro Parade at the Isle of Man Classic TT Festival, marking 23 years since they both competed in the 1994 Isle of Man TT races. I’ve always been a sucker for the pink/blue livery of Kevin Grant’s machine, but the yellow/black CRS bike has competed in more TTs …
Late Competition Scrambler – 1966 Matchless G85CS
The Plumstead, England-based Matchless Motorcycles had a decently long run of 67 years before finally closing its doors in 1966. Before shutting down however, one of its final moves would be producing (according to the seller) less than one hundred G85CS (or Competition Scramblers) in an effort to combat manufacturers like Husqvarna, Bultaco, CZ and Greeves, who had been dominating …
$190K Greenframe in the UK – 1974 Ducati 750SS
It’s not red, but many Ducati fans consider the 750SS to be the firm’s most iconic motorcycle of all time. That’s why the asking price for this not-100% original example is well into six figures. But what will the sale price be?
#20 of 31 – 2001 Voxan VB1
The VB1 was first debuted in 1999 at the Paris Motorcycle show (seems appropriate), but it would be another two years before customers would finally receive deliveries of the rare French liter bike which was only produced in 2001. Designed by Thierry Henriette (of Boxer who designed various stylish sporty two and four-wheelers), only 30 VB1 models were manufactured, making …
No Reserve Matching Triumphs – Bonneville T120R and Daytona T100R
A seller in Boulder, Colorado is letting go of his Bonneville and Daytona that have been painted to match each other. He’s selling both with no reserve so they will both be finding new homes.
Ex-AMA Racer – 2010 BMW S1000RR
The BMW S1000RR was an instant hit from the time it first debuted in 2009. The machine boasts a myriad of trick electronic assists and is an all around fantastic superbike. The fact Keith Code opts to use a fleet of S1KRR’s, year after year at his prestigious California Superbike School is a testament to the German motorcycle’s quality and …
