Super short notice, but Dave Moss is coming by Iconic Friday night from 6pm-8:30pm to teach a “Suspension 101” class. Ever wondered what “rebound” actually means, or do you just want to be able to teach yourself how to adjust your own suspension properly?
1969 Maico 360 X4
Cycle World’s May 1st 1968 review of the X4 starts with the following: “What a difference a year has made to Maico’s 360-cc motocross model. In a little over 12 months, the West German factory has transformed the bike from a competitive but unsensational mount, to one of the fastest and toughest scramblers available.”
2004 MV Agusta 750 Brutale America
Introduced in 2001, the wonderfully-named MV Agusta Brutale debuted with a 750cc inline four engine. As they offered with some other models, MV made some upgrade kits available for the Brutale – one of which was the America. Just 300 were made worldwide – here’s #30.
CA Plated – 2003 Kawasaki KRR150
I have to admit, at first glance I thought this was just a poorly repainted Ninja 250. But it’s actually a KRR150, a mini two-stroke that was never officially sold in the US.
Euro Model – 1982 Kawasaki GPz1100
See that flag on the sidecover? That’s your hint that this big Kawi was originally sold in what used to be known as West Germany. It has since found its way to the US through Ireland, however it does not have a US title and is being sold on a bill of sale only.
1966 Pannonia T5 with Duna Sidecar
Pannonia was a Hungarian motorcycle manufacturer that produced over a million bikes between 1954 and 1975 – in addition to a whole bunch of four wheelers. While their range of motorcycle engines included a boxer twin and a vertical twin, the most common motor they built was a two-stroke single as featured in this T5.
Road Service Custom – 1973 Moto Guzzi 850 Eldorado
I occasionally feature Eldorado Police bikes, but this one’s a bit different – it’s a one-off “Emergency Road Service Vehicle” that the seller calls a “Workman Edition” as it’s equipped with “a push bar, tow hitch, oil and gas cans, jumper cables, siren, air horns, back p warning system, and whatever else I could think of.” So the question is, …
825 Miles – 2018 MV Agusta F3 RC
Post Sale Update: This MV Agusta F3 RC sold for $16,799 after 31 bids on Iconic Motorbike Auctions in Van Nuys, California. Soon after updating the F3 from the 675 to the 800, MV announced the Reparto Corse (RC), a bike inspired by MV’s 800cc racer in World SuperSport. Designed as race replicas with several extra features, the RC was …
1993 BMW R100R
Between 1991 and 1995, BMW produced 20,898 examples of the R100R – one of the last airhead boxers to ever wear a roundel on the tank. Basic specifications include a 980cc air-cooled twin with an oil cooler, Brembo brakes, a 5-speed transmission, and shaft drive.
Mugen Kitted – 1981 Honda CR250R
One of the coolest upgrades one can find for their classic Honda dirt bike is a Mugen upgrade kit – here’s one that comes with a NOS “Mugen Works Water Cooled Super Pro Kit” built for a CR250.
2000 Harley-Davidson MT500
One of the rarest bikes ever built by Harley-Davidson, the MT500 was originally built by the British in the 80s. Rights to the design were sold by Armstrong-CCM to HD, who sold just 355 copies of the MT500 in 1999, and a few more the following year. Only select HD dealerships were allowed to sell these bikes.
2021 Ducati Diavel Lamborghini
I personally don’t get it, but one of the most collectible Ducatis in recent memory is the 2021 Diavel Lamborghini, a limited run of 630 bikes designed in collaboration with Lamborghini – both manufacturers are in the Audi family and part of the Motor Valley, a 70-mile stretch of Italy that includes Ferrari, Maserati, Ducati, Lamborghini, Dallara, and plenty of …
2002 Aprilia RS250
The Aprilia RS250 Cup is by far, the most race-oriented of the street-legal 250s sold in the US. Built from 1995-2002, it was designed to pay homage to Aprilia’s success in the 250 GP championships. Powered by a modified Suzuki 250cc originally designed by Rotax, Aprilia made some of their own changes and made one of the most desirable 250’s …
1985 Suzuki GS550E
The Suzuki GS550 is one of those bikes you might consider forgettable but in the mid 1980’s before fully faired sportbikes became the norm this middleweight was quite revolutionary when judged against the bikes that were being sold just a few years earlier. The GS550 was Suzuki’s answer to the Kawasaki Gpz550 that was a smashing sales success in the …
One Owner – 1993 Honda CBR900RR
The first generation of the Honda CBR900RR, affectionately known as the Fireblade, was a revolution in the large displacement sport bike market. Despite a 50% larger engine, this bike weighed just 4 pounds more than the CBR600F2. Just as important, this bike was a whopping 76 pounds lighter than its lightest competition!
