View Post2007 Suzuki DR650SE
Post Listing Update: This DR did not get any interest at the asking price of $3,200. The recent uprising of supermotos both on the street and the track has driven up the price of dual sports. Even my own search for a traffic axe left me empty handed. However, with some perseverance, you can still find iron workhorses. The Suzuki …

Post Sale Update: This Trophy Trail did not meet reserve despite 22 bids up to $5,800 on eBay. The Triumph TR5T Trophy Trail 500 was based on a trials machine designed for off-road use.

Needs Tuning – 1969 Greeves Ranger
Post Listing Update: This Greeves was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown.

All 4 Years – Yamaha DT-1 Collection
Post Listing Update: This collection of DT-1 did not get any interest at the asking price of $35,000. The DT-1 is one of the most popular motorcycles that Yamaha ever created, and it lasted from 1968-1971.

1971 Aermacchi Harley-Davidson SX350
Post Sale Update: This SX sold for the BIN of $4,995 on eBay. In the 70’s, while Harley Davidson Sportsters and their other cruisers were playing in a small-size market, they had to confront other makers (especially the Japanese) on smaller displacement bikes. To that extent, HD also had to play by the same rules and use similar strategies. One …
M1030M1 – 2009 Kawasaki KLR650
Post Sale Update: This diesel KLR sold for $5,736 after 19 bids on eBay. KLR fans, take a close look at that motor. If it looks different than what you’re used to, it’s because this is a diesel-powered Kawasaki built by Hayes Diversified Technologies for the US Marine Corps. Hayes actually built 3 military Kawis – a gas-powered bike based …
2009 Buell Ulysses XB12XT
Post Listing Update: This Ulysses did not meet reserve despite 11 bids up to $4,027.77 on eBay. I have always been a fan of Buells. Not always how they look, but what they stand for: perseverance, innovation, and personal style come to mind. If touring is your jam, there are several new options and a plentiful used market. For those …
Well Farkled – 2012 Yamaha Super Tenere
Yamaha’s entry to the world of large adventure bikes is the Super Tenere 1200, introduced in 2010. It was a competent bike when it was released, however it has seen much in terms of updates since. Motorcycle.com just released the “street” portion of their annual big enduro comparison, and the Super Ten placed dead last. Mind you, that doesn’t mean …
1993 Honda XR250L
Post Listing Update: This XR did not get any interest at the opening bid ask of $1,700. Scramblers and ADVs have been making a comeback recently, and several well-developed models have resulted in bikes with excellent road manners and tires that can handle a dusty road. However, true dual-sports have a special place in the motorcycling world. In a world …
“Hyperscrambler 1100 R” – 2010 Ducati Hypermotard 1100 S Custom
Built to navigate the mountainous terrain of Southern Poland, this bike (dubbed the “Hyperscrambler 1100 R”) started its life as a 2010 Ducati Hypermotard 1100 S prior to being stripped down to the frame and transformed into this vintage scrambler-inspired masterpiece. The stock subframe was lopped off to make room for a one-off trellis-style unit with the (LED) brake-light (and …
1963 Harley-Davidson Scat

Basel Quest Kitted – 2010 KTM 690 Enduro R
Despite KTM’s 690 Enduro R being a competent off-roader, it still left something to be desired for die-hard rally fans. Enter KTM Basel AG, a dealership for the Ready To Race brand based in Northern Switzerland. In 2013, they introduced the Quest Kit, a high-end collection of parts that transforms the stock 690 into a bona fide rally machine.
