A limited run of the newest F3, the “Ago” is signed by Agostini himself on the tank. Just 300 were produced, and while the differences are pretty much just cosmetic, the Ago loses 5 pounds thanks to forged OZ wheels, carbon fiber fenders, and billet-aluminum pegs and foot levers, making it the highest specification F3 that’s been produced. The 800cc …
Vesrah Prepped – 2004 Suzuki GSX-R750 Racer
Vesrah made a name for themselves in endurance racing over the last decade or so with their various Suzukis, and while they’ve downsized in recent years, the name still lives on for riders in the know. Here’s a track-only Vesrah endurance racer that’s ready for a new owner to start covering miles at speed.
Police – 2009 Buell Ulysses XB12XP
For years, Harley-Davidson dominated the American police cruiser market. Though BMW, Kawasaki, and other manufacturers are now also making motorcycles you’re constantly scanning for when you’re on the road, Harley also offered a police variant of the Buell Ulysses called the XB12XP. This example has a full cop kit with the siren, lights, and three hard bags.
Possibly Street Legal – 1972 Harley-Davidson XR750
Depending on your state of residence, this XR750 could make you the coolest commuter around! Equipped with lights (but not much else), this example of Harley history is street legal in a few states even though it lacks a speedometer, turn signals, any sort of subtlety, etc.
2000 Cagiva Gran Canyon
Post Listing Update: This Cagiva was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown. The Gran Canyon is an interesting option for those of you looking for an adventure bike that your buddies won’t have. This example has more miles than I’ve usually seen (which isn’t a bad thing) and it looks to be in excellent shape – looks like …
1983 Moto Guzzi 850 Le Mans III
In the early 80s, Guzzi could only export their 1000 (949cc) engine to the US because of stricter emissions rules. In ’83, MG was able to bring the 850 back, meaning they could also sell the Le Mans Mk III again – 2,609 were sold that first year.
Suitcase Cycle – 1969 Honda CT90
The CT90 is so common/easy to find that I typically don’t feature many on this site. Yet I had no hesitation writing this one up because it’s one of the ~1,000 Suitcase Cycles that were built in the 60s and 70s.
Drag Bike – 1984 Kawasaki ZN1100-B1
Kawasaki’s LTD series was introduced in 1976 – by 1984 it had grown to a 1100 and it got a shaft drive. A year later, Kawi came out with a new design and someone turned one of those revised bikes into an impressive dragster.
2015 Zaeta 530SE
View PostTT Special – 1967 Triumph T120TT
Post-Sale Update: After 28 bids on eBay, this Triumph T120TT Special sold for $14,999. The T120TT was Triumph’s “TT Special”, a US-only 650cc racer straight from the factory built between 1963 and 1967. It was built in response to requests from Bill Johnson, the man behind Johnson Motors, Triumph’s West Coast US distributor. Just 900 were built.
Ex-AMA Racer – 2010 Harley-Davidson XR1200
Post-Listing Update: I’m surprised to report that no one snapped this bike up at the BIN of $5,900. Between 2010 and 2014, the AMA and Vance & Hines came together to create a spec series of racing with Harley’s XR1200. Here’s #47 from the series, which will hopefully get a new lease on life on the tracks of America.
1965 Montgomery Wards Riverside 150-D
Montgomery Wards offered two versions of this moped during the mid-60s, both of which were produced by Benelli. Riders had the option of the deluxe 250-D, which came with a steel leg shield, passenger pegs, tool pouch, and other features, while the base 150-D was a bit more frugal. Here’s an example of the latter that’s claimed to be in …
1975 Moto Guzzi 850 T3 Police
The seller of this Guzzi acquired it in 2007 after decades of neglect, and then spent 30 months bringing it back to life. Since then he’s added about 19,000 miles so it’s now at nearly 30k – here’s your chance to add some more to that, and maybe scare some inattentive drivers along the way.
1948 Sokol Falcon 125
Post-Listing Update – This Sokol Falcon was pulled off of eBay due to an “error in the listing.” After WWII, the designs for DKW’s RT125 were given to the Allies as part of reparations. America’s version was the Harley-Davidson line of 125s like the Pacer and Bobcat. Poland had a rare version version made by Sokol, which was built between …
Rare MX’er – 1971 Ducati 450RT Desmo
Here’s an interesting footnote in motocross history – it was Ducati’s sole attempt at a MX bike and it was produced for just one year. In addition, it’s the only motocross bike ever built to have desmodromic valves. Though it was available in 250cc and 350cc street-based variants abroad, only the US got the 450cc R/T after its American importer …
