Post Sale Update: this MV Agusta sold for $21,400 (including the buyer’s fee) after 32 bids on Iconic Motorbike Auctions. Seeing as I was just whining about the looks of MV’s newest bike and hoping that they’ll bring back the F4, it only seems fair to share an early example of the original…with just two and half miles on it, …

“THE GOOD THINGS in life don’t come cheap these days,” wrote Cycle World in 1972. “The Benelli 650, a pushrod Twin with electric starting and five-speed gearbox, will cost you more than $2,000 by the time it gets here from Italy.”

In Spain – 1970 Mini Marcelino

In 1992, Ducati took their 900 Supersport and added several choice extras to create a limited edition called the Ducati Superlight. Unfortunately, for reasons unknown, in 1993 they removed almost all the extras, leaving just a fully floating rear brake to differentiate the limited edition from its less exclusive brother. Today we feature a beautiful example of one of those …

Built by Johann Keyser of Moto Motivo, this custom (and gorgeous) Guzzi “was an exercise in creating a “period correct” cafe racer.“
2002 Di Blasi Express
I’m featuring this scoot for two reasons. First, it’s hard not to appreciate the engineering required to build a vehicle that folds up into a bag. Second, the delightfully 90s website is worth checking out.
