Here’s an XR400R in impressive condition considering it somehow has only about 100 miles. With the exception of a period correct FMF exhaust that was installed by the dealer when the bike is new, this bike is stock – though it is missing the tool kit and original handguards. The seller notes that the only flaw is a few bubbles …
Ending Soon – Gilera 175 Turismo
This Gilera has been with the current owner for 6 years, who bought it with the intention of running it in the California Moto Giro. Unfortunately, that’s never happened, though the bike is claimed to run well and have new tires, wheels, spokes, and rubber pegs. The paint is original and the bike has 6,252 miles – here’s your chance …

View Post1964 Parilla Special 125
One of the later Parillas ever made, this Special features a OHV 4-stroke paired with a 4-speed transmission. This specific bike was prepared to run in the Milano-Taranto, though it did not have a chance to run.
Needs a Restoration – 1969 Laverda 750GT American Eagle
Post Sale Update: This Laverda/American Eagle project sold for $3,726 after 22 bids on eBay. I hate featuring bikes that need this much work, but this is truly a special one. Italian motorcycle fans love Laverdas, but they weren’t well-known in the US until they were imported under the American Eagle name, the creation of Jack McCormack.
1966 Honda S90
Post Listing Update: This S90 did not meet reserve with 23 bids up to $2,050. Even if reader David N calls it a scooter, I still love the Honda S90 – so I’m always excited to feature a solid example of the breed. Here’s one that’s claimed to run as well or better as new, thanks to a ‘complete restoration’. …
Ending Soon – 1999 Royal Enfield Bullet 500
Want a ‘modern’ Enfield with a little more authenticity than the recent release of EPA certified models? Here’s a one-owner military model from 1999 (VIN: MBFFSV222XM589547) that spent some time in storage and has just 864 miles. It comes with the ‘military’ bags, crash bar, optional larger headlight, 30mm flat-slide carb, and the muffler from a Harley Sportster. Find this …

View Post1 of 40 – 2004 Moto Guzzi V11 Coppa Italia
Post-Sale Update: This Coppa Italia sold for $9,495. A very limited edition of the V11, the Coppa Italia was very well spec’d, with Ohlins suspension, Brembo brakes, an optional $2,000 titanium exhaust, and more. I’ve seen estimates of production between 40 and 50 – here’s one that’s claimed to be extremely well-cared for.
Rotary Project – 1975 Suzuki RE5
Nowadays, mention of a rotary engine usually makes gearheads think of the Mazda RX-7 and RX-8, but in the 70’s all four major Japanese motorcycle companies were at least in the prototype stage. Suzuki was the only Japanese company to bring a rotary into production, though it was for just two years. Between the two years of production, the ’75 …
Grande Grunge – 1977 Honda CB750 Custom
Post-Listing Update: Grande Grunge did not meet reserve with bidding up to $2,550. I’ve featured a Powder Monkees build before – that was the “Wabi-Sabi“, and I have to say I liked that bike more than this, the Grande Grunge.

This very yellow Triumph Daytona has been owned by the current seller twice, but now he’s selling it so maybe he can buy it back from you to own it a 3rd time.
