You guys seemed to enjoy the “Just Ride” video I did with a Honda CBR250RR, so I thought it’d be fun to do another one with a personal bike – my Bimota Tesi 3D!
BMW MOA Motorcycle Relief Project Raffle – BMW R80ST
The BMW Motorcycle Owners of America is deeply tied to a charity group called the Motorcycle Relief Project which supports military and first responders who are battling PTSD, and this year they’re raffling off a BMW R80ST!
1983 Benelli 900 Sei
When the Sei was introduced (as a 750), it was the first production motorcycle featuring a six cylinder engine. By ’78, the Sei got a bump up to 900 and a redesign that included many parts from Moto Guzzi (De Tomaso owned both companies at the time). You had to pay to play – MSRP was $5,406 in ’83 – …
Picture Intermission – 1/14 Sunday Ride
I went for a little ride this weekend and saw some fun stuff – come check it out!
102 Miles – 2005 Honda XR650L
Post Sale Update: This XR650L sold for $5,002 after 36 bids on eBay in Star, Idaho. Introduced as a 1993 model, the XR650L was a revelation that was considered by many to be the best dual-sport ever. Impressively (or depressingly, depending on your outlook), the bike has just about stayed the same as it’s still offered new from Honda with …
2000 Bimota 500 V-Due
1-14-24 Update: Three years later, this V-Due is up for sale on a different platform and with a cheaper price. Find it in Spreckles, California for $40,000 here on Craigslist. Post Listing Update: This V-Due did not get any action at the BIN of $45,000 on eBay. The V-Due is one of the most interesting things that ever came out …
Aprilia Tuareg Experience Baja 2024
Over the last year or so, you’ve probably seen that I’m a huge fan of the track day events that Aprilia puts on under the name of Aprilia Racers Days. Well, the Italian firm also puts on events for those of you that like to get dirty. They call it the Tuareg Experience, and this February you can join them …
1981 BMW R80GS
Hindsight has shown that the introduction of the GS model line was one of the best things BMW did for their Motorrad business. But at the press launch in 1980, journalists (and the public) shared a general sentiment of “what’s the point of a large, heavy dual-purpose bike?” Modern cynics still have the same complaint as the bike seems to …
Bought On Bike-urious – 1981 Ducati MHR 900
It’s time for another round of my favorite posts to share: Bought on Bike-urious! This time we’ve got an Ducati MHR 900 that was bought by Bike-urious reader John K!
Video Intermission – Honda CBR250RR MC22
A couple of days ago I mentioned that I was going to take a MC22 out for a spin for a video. Well, here’s the video!
1 of 89 – 1963 Greeves Starmaker 24ME
Sometimes a bike is rare because it’s limited production, and sometimes it’s rare because consumers weren’t particularly interested so sales were low. But the Starmaker is rare because Greeves – the company who made it – only made 89 as they didn’t think it would be successful. They weren’t wrong.
Abhi Buys a Krämer HKR Evo2 S, Part 5 – Circuit of the Americas
I did a separate post about my experience at Circuit of the Americas with Aprilia Racers Days but that was focused on the event, not my bike of choice. I highly recommend you check out the above post (and I also highly recommend that you join me at CotA next year), but here’s what I have to share about the …
400+ MPH – 2017 Bonneville Streamliner
I’m going to leave the intro to this to the seller: “This streamliner is currently the fastest gasoline powered streamliner in the SCTA record book.” In addition to the SCTA record, it also “qualified at 398.227 miles an hour with an exit speed of 409.421 miles an hour on 24 lbs. of boost, while the car was in impound, waiting …
What Do You Want To Know? Honda CBR250RR MC22
My first bike was a 2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250, and while it was a pleasant enough way to get started in the world of motorcycling, it was also a sign of how depressing the 250cc sportbike market was in the US for years. Nowadays you can get all kinds of 250-400cc entry level sportbikes here, but throughout the 90s and …
Video Intermission – Aston Martin AMB001
Over at Iconic, I’ve been trying out a video series called “Bike of the Day.” Here’s one I felt like I had to share because I don’t know if I’ll ever seen one of these bikes in the flesh again. It’s an Aston Martin AMB001 that came to us for a break-in service of sorts, and I hope you enjoy …
