Maico’s 450 (displacing a true 438cc) was an Open-class monster that was enjoyed by many riders in Southern California’s hard-packed dirt. The distinctive engine shape was called radial by some, and it had a 4-speed transmission because that’s all it really needed. This specific example has just 128 miles and has never been raced. It comes in the original shipping …
Urban Tiger – 1995 Honda CBR900RR
The 1995 Honda CBR900RR doesn’t get as much love from fans as the first generation, even though it’s an improved bike. This specific example stands out because it comes with the cheeky “Urban Tiger” paint job that wasn’t available in the US. The seller tells a story that 200 bikes were accidentally brought to Canada, which is why this example …
1965 BSA C15
The BSA C15 was BSA’s first four-stroke unit-construction bike. A 250 cc single-cylinder, it was very popular with learners in the United Kingdom because at the time, a 250cc was the biggest engine that beginners could use. BSA also made the C15T (Trials), which opened up access to the dirt. For more information, head on over to bsa-c15.org. This specific …

1991 Bimota YB8
It’s hard for me not to feature a good-condition Bimota, but the Bimota YB8 is a lovely find especially considering I just showed off the 400cc Japan-only YB7 a couple of days ago. YB8 = the 8th Bimota with a Yamaha engine, in this case a 1000cc EXUP engine which yielded 148 horsepower. I find it very weird to see …
1954 Jawa Type 353
After buying the German firm Wanderer in 1929, František Janeček created Jawa by taking the first two letters from his last name and the firm he had purchased. Fast forward to the 50s, and Jawa had made nearly a million bikes, including the 250cc twin exhaust Type 353. The seller doesn’t include much in terms of details besides the fact …
1986 Buell RR1000 Prototype
Fans of Buell are very familiar with the company’s tumultous history, which thankfully has ended up with EBR and some very cool bikes like the 1190RS. But the story all begins with American engineer Erik Buell and this very prototype – the bike that truly launched Erik’s career. It’s rare, it’s pricey, and it’s damn cool. Find this Buell RR1000 …
1969 Moto Guzzi V700
The Moto Guzzi V700 Special was Guzzi’s first V-Twin. This specific example (VIN: 3352) has been with the current owner for 17 years, during which he has put just 1,000 miles on it. Apparently some people who know Guzziss better than I do suggest that this is actually a ’67 model, despite what the title says. Something new to me …
1985 Yamaha RZ500
Yamaha’s RZ500 (also known as the RD500LC) was a two-stroke rocket that was kept out of the US thanks to EPA regulations. Only built between ’84 and ’86, it’s now a desirable collector’s bike.
2010 BMW HP2 Sport
The BMW HP2 Sport is one of the rarest bikes from the last few decades of BMW bikes. It certain ways, it was a tough sell. Loosely based on the R1200S, this was a very pricey and exclusive sportbike that put down less power than its competitors thanks to the limits of the venerable boxer engine.
MotoGP – 2013 Forward Racing Kawasaki

1949 Matchless G3L
Post Sale Update: This G3L sold for $6,400 after 28 bids on eBay. Like the BSA M20, the Matchless G3L was produced for the British Army for World War II.
