1999 Laverda 750S
This is a one owner 750S – the seller notes that it’s just one of three bikes sent to the west coast that were silver and equipped with the half fairing. It has a new battery and fuel lines, and it ran today after sitting for 3 years. The seller knows it needs to be loved by someone else – …
“Operator” – 1999 Ducati 900SS Custom
When reader Jim R. sent this to me, he was succinct with his words: “What the hell happened?”. You tell me.

Cheap Rare Tourer – 1983 Honda CB1000C Custom
Produced for just one year, the Honda CB1000C Custom was notable for the TRAC anti-dive system and dual-range transmission (a sub-transmission that let you choose high or low for any given gear, even if people only really used it to act as a sixth gear/overdrive).
Di Blasi Express Folding Scooter
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.

I’m not a big fan of the Dream’s styling, but here’s a one owner example that’s claimed to be in gorgeous shape.
$4,000 – 2.5 Suzuki GT750s
The Suzuki GT750, also known as the Water Buffalo, was the bike that put Suzuki on the map in the United States. Introduced as competition to the big bikes of the day, like the Honda CB750 and the Triumph Bonneville, this bike was basically a T500 with an extra cylinder and liquid cooling crafted on.
1987 BMW K75C
I will concede that BMW K75 is not the sexiest motorcycle that’s ever been built – I remember that the editors of Motorcyclist once called it “the two-wheel equivalent of Birkenstocks.” With that said, I have a soft spot in my heart for these bikes, which I consider to be some of the most reliable motorcycles ever built (and there’s …
