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.

1991 Honda CBR600F2
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) …
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. One of the rarest versions of the V11, the Coppa Italia was built to commemorate Guzzi’s success in the National Naked Bike Championship of the Roadster Cup in their home country of Italy in 2003. To properly pay tribute to a racer, …
1982 Suzuki GS1000SZ Katana
About a decade ago, I rode up to my father-in-law’s house astride a Suzuki V-Strom 1000. He visibly recoiled at the sight of my bike and hissed, “Suzuki” in the tone one might use for a sworn enemy. “I had a Suzuki in the ’70s,” he said. “Can’t even remember the name of it, it was so boring. Nothing wrong …

View PostModern Two Stroke – 2024 Langen 250
Right now, if you want a brand new two-stroke motorcycle in the US then your only bet is to go dirt biking. But in the UK, a company named Langen has brought two-strokes back to the road. Their limited (run of 100) creation is expensive, full of top-notch components, and unfortunately…not legal in the US. Still, here’s one of the …
1975 Norton Commando Custom
Here’s an interesting custom take on a Norton Commando that was built in the 80s by Specialized Motorcycles, Inc. out of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
2007 KTM 690SM
Sold between 2007-2011, the KTM 690SM was an excellent option for riders who wanted the handling joy of a supermoto racer that was toned down enough to be street friendly. These bikes won’t win any all-around competitions, but if you emphasize agility and don’t spend a lot of time on the highway, it’s hard to do much better.
“OEM Plus” – 1990 Suzuki GSX-R1100
Introduced in 1986, the Suzuki GSX-R 1100 was a speed demon’s dream thanks to 137 horsepower and a wet weight of 434 pounds. Even better, it was released right after the United States lowered the import tax on bikes above 700ccs to 24.4 percent (from over 39 percent), so it actually felt like bargain to American riders. The seller of …
Dunstall Kit – 1974 Norton Commando
Paul Dunstall’s motorcycle business was humming by the time the 70s rolled around, and he was so successful that he had started shipping completed motorcycles over to contracted delaers in the United States. By the mid 70s, he was almost exactly splitting his production between Norton and Hondas, though he was definitely more famous for his work with the British …
1998 Honda NSR50
The NSR50 was in Honda’s lineup for decades before they blessed the USA with a chance to officially try it for ourselves in 2004. Before that year, Americans had to either order one directly from HRC (Honda Racing Corporation) or try to import one through the gray market. It was well worth the effort, because Honda used components that made …
1973 Norton Commando 850
The Norton Commando 850 is no stranger to Bike-urious. By my count, more than a dozen versions of this iconic British twin have appeared on this site over the years. But there’s always room for one more.
2004 BMW R1100S Boxer Cup Replika
The base model R11S was a wonderful all-around streetbike similar to the Honda VFR800. BMW went above and beyond with a couple of limited editions, including the Boxer Cup Replika as featured today. BMW created a spec series to race these bikes, and 300 examples were released as a homage. They were equipped with Ohlins suspension, Laser exhaust, and custom …
1993 Ducati Superlight 900
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 …
