Post Listing Update: this Indian was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown. Back in the days when Floyd Clymer owned the Indian name, he dabbled with a few small motorcycles like the Papoose, Indian Boy Racer, MM-5 minibike or the MT series of dirtbikes. One option was the Super Scrambler, which was offered in red/white, blue/white, or yellow/black.

1961 Honda CB92
Post Listing Update: This Honda did not meet reserve with 25 bids up to $8,900 on eBay. The Honda CB92 Benly Super Sport was built between 1959 and 1964, and was considered by many to be the best small-displacement sport bike of the time.

1952 Maico Mobil 175
Post Listing Update: After being relisted, this Maico did not meet reserve with 1 bid up to $15,000 on eBay. Also called the Maicomobil, this was marketed as a “car on two wheels” with enclosed bodywork, excellent weather protection, and integrated storage space – it was way ahead of its time.
2008 Victory Vision Tour
Post Listing Update: this Victory did not get any action at the $6,500 BIN on eBay. Speaking of underappreciated touring bikes, the Victory Vision is a motorcycle that I feel never really got the love it deserved. Perhaps that’s because it looks like a spaceship. Or, perhaps that’s because it weighs about as much as a spaceship. But if you …
2006 Kawasaki ZG1000 Concours
Post Listing Update: This Kawasaki originally sold for a Best Offer under $1,800 but that deal fell through. The bike was relisted and then pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown.

1999 Honda VT1100 Shadow Tourer
Those saddlebags, though. That’s the feature that has drawn my attention to this listing. Just look at those saddlebags, man. Look how well they fit the lines of the bike. You don’t often find that kind of aesthetic flow with luggage. Of course, everything comes crashing back to Earth when your eye turns to those basic alloy wheels. But if …
1975 Moto Morini 3 1/2 Sport
Post Listing Update: This Moto Morini was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown. Inspired by the 3 1/2 that I saw at the Hansen Dam show, here’s an example you can take home for yourself.

Post Sale Update: this Honda sold for $5,029 (including the buyer’s fee) after 30 bids on Iconic Motorbike Auctions. The successor of the Hurricane, the CBR600F2 was considered to be quite innovative when released in 1991. Many were sold, but few have withstood the test of time (both in terms of staying rubber side down and in terms of originality) …
Race Bike in France – Nico Bakker Barracuda
Nico Bakker made a name for himself starting back in the 70s by taking Japanese engines and enveloping them in better frames and suspensions. His focus was usually on race bikes, those in recent times he’s also built some road bikes. In the late 90s, Bakker built the Barracuda as a race bike, and he instantly started winning in the …
1975 BMW R60/6
This is, admittedly, not the most beautiful R60/6 you’ll ever see in your life, but it appears to be in pretty good condition, the seller says it runs, and, most importantly, it’s an R60/6. I often daydream of owning one of these. The R60/6 was the smallest of BMW’s /6 models, produced from 1974-1979 (the others being the R75/6 and …
1978 Ferrari Dino Powered Motorcycle
10-22-24 Update: I featured this bike last year when it was on eBay and the big question was, “what’s the reserve?” Well, it’s now up on Facebook with a fixed price so I guess we can answer that question…find this Ferrari-powered moto for sale in San Diego, California for $29,500 here on Facebook Marketplace. Built by Andreas Georgeadas in 1978, …
1967 Yamaha YDS-5
Yamaha is an interesting company, isn’t it? It makes all kinds of things and tends to be pretty good at making those things, but doesn’t seem to be very good about keeping track of those things or effectively telling their stories. Here’s an example. Sitting next to me as I write this is a probably-1969 YSL-352S trombone. If you know …
2004 Moto Guzzi V11 Coppa Italia
Post Listing Update: This Moto Guzzi did not meet reserve with 22 bids up to $5,400 on eBay.
