Someone in Santa Barbara, California is selling off 15 fantastic Italian sportbikes. All of them have hefty individual asking prices, but “a significant price break will be given if all of them are purchased as a package.”
Though the seller says he’s got 15 bikes, only 10 are currently on Craigslist. Click here for a list of all them, which include 4 Bimotas, 2 Ducatis, 1 Laverda, 1 Moto Guzzi, 1 Magni, and 1 Ghezzi Brian. Here are my three favorites:
1994 Magni Australia – $35,000 with 3,023 miles.
One of 50 ever built, the Magni Australia 98 was powered by a 992cc Moto Guzzi V-Twin. This example has a clean CA title and is said to be in mint condition.
1996 Moto Guzzi Daytona Racing #100/100 – $20,000 with 13,437 miles.
According to the seller, this is one of 47 examples still in existence of the 100 produced for homologation purposes. The Racing bikes got 102 horsepower thanks to high compression pistons, bigger injectors, and Carillo rods. They also got WP suspension, twin Brembo 320mm discs, Marzocchi USD forks, and more.
2001 Ghezzi Brian Supersonic Custom – $35,000 with 4,687 miles.
Formed in 1995, Ghezzi-Brian immediately tasted success by winning the Italian SuperTwin championship in 1996 with their Super Twin prototype – it won 9 of the 32 races. Four years later they built a run of replicas with the engine/drivetrain from the Moto Guzzi Sport 1100i. I think this is one of the Supertwin 1100s. The seller calls this a “Supersonic” custom but I’m not able to find any sort of information on that and my knowledge of the company founded by Giuseppe Ghezzi and Bruno Saturno is sparse at best. Have any of you heard of the “Supersonic”? Either way, it’s a bike I want to ride, badly.
