35-Years-Owned 1940 Harley-Davidson WLD Sport Solo
Daily rotation across the best motorcycle finds in the feed.
The WLD's hotter 45ci flathead was Harley's answer to performance in 1940—three decades of single-ownership proves this isn't some flip, it's a keeper. If you understand why the WL line matters to American motorcycle history and want a documented survivor that never chased trends, this is the real deal.

No Reserve: 1975 Yamaha RD350
This 4,200-mile survivor spent 40 years in a garage before a comprehensive rebuild, making it essentially a time capsule of mid-'70s two-stroke perfection—the RD350 was the bike that made Yamaha's reputation as a performance brand before they went mainstream. At $1,850 with no reserve, you're looking at entry-level pricing on one of the most charismatic mid-range bikes ever built, which matters if you actually want to *ride* a piece of motorcycle history instead of just polishing it.

1993 Yamaha GTS1000
The 1993 Yamaha GTS1000 was so far ahead of its time that the motorcycle world didn't quite know what to do with it. James Parker's RADD hub-center steering, fuel injection, ABS, and a 102-horsepower Genesis inline-four made this one of the most technologically ambitious motorcycles of the '90s. Unfortunately, all that innovation came with a price tag that scared off buyers who preferred conventional forks and familiar engineering. With just 5,038 miles, this largely original example is a reminder that Yamaha was willing to take some serious risks back when motorcycle manufacturers still thought outside the box.
Italy
2000 Bimota DB4
This 2000 Bimota DB4 is what happens when Italian engineering meets an open checkbook. A 944cc big-bore Ducati V-twin, Keihin FCR39 flatslide carbs, full Moto Corse titanium exhaust, Marchesini wheels, Brembo monoblock brakes, and enough Moto Corse titanium hardware to make your wallet nervous. With just 2,761 miles, this isn't some untouched museum piece—it's a properly built Italian exotic with all the right parts. Bimota was never interested in building motorcycles for the masses, and this DB4 is a perfect reminder of why.
Japan
1986 Yamaha FZ750
This 1986 FZ750 is a rolling tribute to Eddie Lawson’s Daytona-winning Yamaha, and the parts list is ridiculous: Yamaha race-kit dry clutch, close-ratio six-speed transmission, Dymag magnesium wheels, Spondon swingarm, Öhlins shock, Brembo brakes, and a full SuperTrapp exhaust. With just 11,960 miles and a frame-off restoration, this is a serious piece of 1980s superbike history. The FZ750 was overshadowed by the two-stroke RZV500 hype and eventually had its thunder stolen by the GSX-R750, but Yamaha’s five-valve Genesis engine was no joke. This is what happens when someone builds the FZ750 Yamaha should have sold in the first place.

No Reserve: 2009 Harley-Davidson XR1200
Harley's forgotten streetfighter: the XR1200 was supposed to be Milwaukee's answer to the Buell, but it landed stillborn in 2009 and disappeared just as fast—making this orange tracker-styled V-twin a genuine rarity that cost nothing and looks nothing like the cruisers clogging every driveway. If you understand that sometimes the best bikes are the ones Harley's own marketing department fumbled, this no-reserve auction is exactly the kind of score that separates collectors from people who just own motorcycles.
Japan
No Reserve: 20-Years-Owned 1974 Honda CR250M Elsinore
The CR250M Elsinore—Honda's genuinely quick two-stroke dirt bike that actually won world championships—just got a complete frame-off refresh by someone who actually kept it for 20 years, not flipped it for Instagram. If you understand why a properly sorted vintage 250cc two-stroke still murders modern playbikes on tight trails, this no-reserve auction is your lottery ticket.
Japan
933-Mile 1994 Honda RVF750R RC45
Honda built exactly 200 RC45s in 1994 as homologation specials for World Superbike—a screaming 749cc V4 that never saw mass production and vanished into collector vaults before most riders even knew it existed. With under 1,000 miles, this is the bike that reminds you Honda's race department could sanction pure theater; it's the answer to "what if they made a WSB machine street-legal and then forgot about it?"
Japan
2003 Honda RVT1000R RC51
The RC51 is one of my all-time favorite motorcycles. Honda went after Ducati with a 999cc V-twin of its own, and the result still makes me want one every time I see it. The sound, the proportions, the whole damn thing—it gets me. There’s nothing subtle about an RC51, and that’s a big part of the appeal. This is a bike I’d buy to ride, even if it meant spending half my time in the garage staring at it.

1982 HONDA CX500 Turbo
Honda's turbo CX500—the bike everyone forgot existed—is suddenly relevant again as collectors realize it was the company's weirdest shaft-drive experiment, complete with a liquid-cooled parallel-twin and boost at 7,200 bucks with fresh brakes and full service. If you want to own the oddball that proves Honda would try literally anything in the '80s, this is your move.

EX-Bandito, 1954 Harley-Davidson 74
This ex-outlaw 1954 Harley 74" FL bobber carries actual road miles and real history—the kind of provenance that can't be faked or added in a garage. At $27.5K, you're getting genuine patina and a bike that earned its scars, not some sanitized restoration that forgot what made these things matter.
