This little Ducati 125 Sport is a real rare collectors item that probably belongs in a Museum.
It perform very well, keeping up with some bigger bikes and didn't miss a beat. Its oil tight and I haven't actually washed the bike since, and still looks good. I have owned this Ducati Sport for around 10+ years and its such a great fun classic biketo own and ride as the handling and suspension seem faultless. With a 4 speed gear box it seems to have some torque. I believe the bike has been fully restored around 30+ years ago, the engine looks to have a new crank, big end and bearings, with original piston and rings, but of course its showing some signs of patina.
These bikes are the forerunner of the Ducati Factory production bevel over head cam bikes and this 125 Sport is a direct production model copy of the beautiful little f3 factory racer with very similar styling, just bellissimo in King Fisher blue and gold. Even the tank is sculptured out both sides to fit your knees into with your head down racing style. Its just a work of art. Some spec's: 4 speed gear box, max speed 70 mph, fuel consumption 100 mpg. Single Cylinder Bore 55.2mm x 52 Stroke. 10 HP, 124.443cc, Max 8,500 rpm. Hope I haven't missed to much.Used 1961

MV Agusta factory works bike and in incredible condition.
This bike was one of the 71 bikes included in the book, The MV Agusta Collection. Below you will find the details of this bike copied from The MV Agusta Collection. While MV Agusta built many motorcycles with sporting potential, actual factory-built race bikes were rare machines. When
the factory constructed racing machines, they affixed a brass tag to the engine case. In Lusso trim, this 150 SS was equipped with a front telescopic hydraulic ford, and a rear swingarm with hydraulic shock absorbers. The brakes were enlarged from the Sport " E" model; the front grew from 130mm to 180mm, while the tear was enlarged from 130mm to 150mm.
The Lusso was fitted with a longer seat cushion, allowing the rider to assume a more sporting stance while on the vehicle. The engine was the same as the Sport " E" in that it generated 9 horsepower at 6500 rpm. Though the bike didn't have an excess of power, it only weighed 92Kg, giving it nimble handling.

Here you go vintage bike collectors a unmolested 1973 Kawasaki Z1 900 in the famous Root Beer color.
I purchased it from the original owner. It is a all numbers matching bike. The only thing not original to the bike is the tires replaced with original style Dunlops, Chain and sprockets and exact reproduction pipes. Very high quality. Runs and
drives excellent as it should and everything works. Was one of my personal bikes that I rode. I cleaned carbs, fresh Kawasaki oil and filter, spark plugs, air filter, and battery. All original paint with very low 7789 miles. Gas Tank does have a few flaws but, in my opinion the bike is excellent.

1963 BMW R-Series R60.
It was in a Chicken Coop for last 20 years, mechanically is perfect as it just left factory yesterday. The bike cold starts with first kick and idling smoothly, When running it is dead silent even when clutch is pulled; the comment was given âIt ran like an electronic motor!â. If you wondered how a /2 should sound
while it idles, this is the textbook example. This bike has original steel factory straps, wires are clean and unmolested! This bike is so original and function so well, It was parked year ago due to coil failure and (we installed a new one from Germany). It was stored correctly and inside tank is MINT!
Therefore, we decided leave this beautiful patina along and focused on the mechanic. And the new owner can ride while do the cosmetic as his/her choose. All electronic and lights works, lots of period goodies include a nice EURO NAGURA bars, And we have gone through the whole bike with our high standard shop ready for road service, works performed were as followed: New Coil from BOSHNew
horn, New Bulbs. Serviced brake shoes, both front and back. New fuel lines. Cleaned/Re-built both carburetors with new gaskets. Safety checked/re-torqued on every single nuts and bolts on the whole bike.
Re-adjusted front brake setting. Ensured all the wiring/lights functional. Re-set valve gaps to spec. Re-set ignition timing/gap. Sealed 6 volt battery from our inventory, New spark plugs. Replaced all fluids (TWICE) (Engine, transmission, driveshaft, and final drive). Cleaned/lubed all the cables. This bike wears this 50 years old patina paint lost, and paint touch ups, and front and rear fenders are still very solid. The inside of the gas tank is clean with factory red paint still attached. There are 2 dents on top of tank and there is no key for tool box( inside contents unknown).
