1975 BMW R90S
I adore the BMW R90S, which was a game-changer when it was released to the world. The gray and smoke paint scheme shown here was the first of two available paint schemes, both of which are beautiful and incredibly difficult to reproduce. With oversight from Hans Muth, this bike was built to show the world that BMW could make more …

Built over the ’84 and ’85 model years, the Kawasaki 750 Turbo only had minor changes between years. Most riders consider this to be the best of the factory turbo’d bikes from the big 4 Japanese manufacturers.
1975 Norton Interstate 750
The Norton Interstate was a variant of the Commando designed to be more touring-friendly thanks to changes including a larger fuel tank and a comfier seat. Unfortunately, it was introduced in 1972 with the infamous Combat engine, meaning the traveling you were doing was probably back to the dealership for warranty work. For more on the Interstate, check out this …
Reader Ride – 1985 Honda VF1000R with sidecar
I’m disappointed to see such an unique rig go up for sale, but hopefully it finds a new owner within the Bike-urious ranks. Reader Mike B. has let me know that he has to let his Honda VF1000R with Motorvation sidecar go, and this thing is too cool not to share.

1970 Kawasaki A7 Avenger
Post-Sale Update: After 16 bids on eBay, this Kawasaki A7 Avenger sold for $5,500. The last of the big 4 Japanese manufacturers to start selling motorcycles, Kawi had a little bit of catching up to do when it came to understanding the US market.

1 of 300 – 2005 MV Agusta F41000 AGO
Post-Listing Update: This F4 AGO got no action at the asking price of $24,995. When MV released the 750cc version of the F4, they started with a special edition called the Oro. 5 years later, they did the same thing to introduced the 1000cc bike with the MV Agusta F41000 AGO.
White Lightning – 1998 Buell S1W
The White Lightning, also known as the Buell S1W, was the one-year-only, cream of the crop edition of the S1 Lightning. Made only in 1998, the White Lightning took Erik Buell’s concept of what you could build around a Harley engine to an extreme. It may also end up being one of the most collectible bikes from Buell’s run.
1999 Ducati Monster 900S
I sometimes fear that in my quest to find you interesting and quirky bikes for sale, I sometimes lose sight of motorcycles that are actually…affordable. So I’m going to try to make a better point of finding quality examples of more “common” motorcycles that can be acquired and enjoyed by us normal folks. Feel free to let me know in …
1983 Egli Red Baron
Honda made quite the splash back when it introduced the CBX to the world. The six-cylinder engine was clearly the star of the show, though some people felt the frame/handling wasn’t up to the task.
1 of 25 – 2010 KTM RC8R Red Bull Edition
Post-Listing Update: Despite being relisted, this RC8R got no love at $19,900. In 2010, KTM started importing the RC8R to the US. To celebrate, they released two limited edition models, both of which had just 25 examples produced. One was the Akrapovic Edition (reader Zack B. actually found one for sale just 3 days ago), the other is this post’s …
