Between 2010 and 2014, the AMA and Vance & Hines came together to create a spec series of racing with Harley’s XR1200. V&H also offered a $3,500 kit for folks that wanted to turn their XR1200 street bikes into something resembling the racer – and this special example (which has just 250 miles) was originally built with that kit for …

2000 Moto Guzzi Quota
Moto Guzzi took their well-known 1,064cc twin and threw it in an ADV package to compete against BMW’s GS bikes. The result was as you’d expect – too heavy and under-suspended for serious off-road work, but very capable as a sport-tourer that could also play on fire roads or light trails. This example is well-modified for touring and it’s had …

Last month I shared an interesting RD400 build from Julian Farnham – he unfortunately passed away so his widow is selling his collection. This fascinating creation is what Julian called the AK-1, a $4,750 chassis kit that enabled buyers to utilize the EX500 motor with a seriously upgraded frame and modern components.
3 Miles – 1986 Moto Morini K2 350
Moto Morini’s heyday with production bikes was in the 70s with the legendary 3 1/2, but they weren’t able to retain the magic and after a decline in the 80s the company was sold to Cagiva. During that slide, they released a spiritual successor with top notch components and a dry weight of just 330 pounds. It was called the …
