Delivery Sidecar – 1965 BMW R60/2 with Steib LT-200
Full disclosure – I may just be featuring this bike because of the novel sidecar and the picture with dogs. But the bike itself is well equipped with bags, Denfield seats, the sport gas tank, and the engine has been rebuilt. Still, the Steib Package/Delivery Sidecar is very rare (the seller suggests there might only be one other left in …
1989 Honda Transalp 650
The Honda Transalp XL600V was a dual-sport that was truly ahead of its time. A slightly less off-road biased cousin of the Honda Africa Twin, the Transalp was first released in 1987. This was one of the odder bikes that Honda ever sold – truly a jack of all trades sort of bike. The US only got the Transalp between …
Video Intermission – Go Anywhere with the Tarus 2
From BikeMike comes this video of the Tarus 2, an incredibly light (about 100 pounds) and capable small “adventure” bike. Thanks to the tiny 5 horsepower engine and fat 220mm width tires, it seems this bike can nearly go anywhere, albeit slowly. And if you get stuck, just pick the bike up and throw it over the obstacle! Watch till …
Possible Steal – 1967 Honda S90
Jim R. sends over a Honda S90 (which you all know I love) for a price that I haven’t seen in a long, long time. If the description and picture is accurate, this is an absolute steal for a great little bike. Find this Honda S90 for sale here on Craigslist in Sumner, Washington for $800. If no one else …
2004 BMW R1100S Boxer Cup Replika
Post Sale Update: After 12 bids on eBay, this BMW sold for $6,500. Before BMW took the motorcycling world by storm with the S1000RR, their idea of a sportbike was to put aggressive bodywork around the trusted boxer engine to create the BMW R1100S. I don’t mean to sound demeaning with that, as I owned a R11S for a while …
1970 Muskin El Gato
Post Sale Update: After being relisted, this El Gato sold for a BIN of $1,050. Marketed as a “Midi-Cycle”, the Muskin El Gato wanted to separate itself from minibikes by completely making up a new category of motorcycles.
A Canada-Only Offer – 30 Years of the Ninja

1969 Bultaco El Tigre
Available only for one year, this Bultaco El Tigre (if I’m allowed to oversimplify) is basically a Metralla 250 that’s been turned into a street scrambler. Only about 700 were ever sold, and this specific one has just 1,800 miles. The tank has been repainted, and it runs great. It’s been with the second owner since 1970. Find this Bultaco …
100k Ducati? 1994 Ducati Supermono
Post-Sale Update: After being relisted, this Ducati Supermono sold for $125,500. Alright – I know yesterday was my “Ducati” day but when a Supermono comes up for sale, I can’t ignore it. In the majestic history of the Italian firm, the Ducati Supermono is one of the greats. Arguably one of the most collectable Ducatis ever produced, just 67 Supermonos …
1973 Maico 450 Enduro
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 …

1992 Ducati 888 SP4
Post Listing Update: Despite 27 bids on eBay, this SP4 did not meet reserve at $23,100. Though it stands in the shadow of the SPS variant, the Ducati 888 SP4 is one of the rarest Ducatis ever in the US. This is #465 and is believed to be just 1 of 4 in the country. This particular bike was up …
