last of the hand built Ducati’s according to this post. These were ugly in my opinion but a step forward in handling and power according to most. A deal for a dry clutch Ducati ripper. For sale in the Bay Area on Craigslist.

Too much to list. Also comes with box of goodies if you want to go into the motor and really push the envelope.

1975 Honda CB 750f Supersport - $3000
Well priced 750SS for sale in West Marin. Post notes the bike is “completely rebuilt” but unclear what that means. Appears to be in great shape, worth checking out if you’re in the market for a 750ss.
1988 BMW R100GS - $3500
Lotta miles but a lotta life left in this one. Likely negotiable because of the miles. Paint looks great, doens’t look like it’s been ridden offroad much. Buyer should check on shaft, heads, trans rebuilds but otherwise these are workhorses. Any charging upgrading would be a bonus. After the R80 G/S these bikes got big upgrades on the front forks which is a bonus. Appears to come with factory panniers and an upgraded rear shock. For sale in Norcal on Craigslist.
1970 Moto Guzzi Ambassador 750 - $6790

Rare bird - 1992 YAMAHA XTZ750 SUPER TENERE - $7750
California plated since 1994, for sale from the original owner in Mill Valley on Craigslist. This bike has a lot of miles but appears to have been really well cared for for an offroad bike, I suspect it hasn’t seen much off road riding in it’s life. Never available in the States, would be a great collection piece for your Dakar collection. The new Tenere 700 is just hitting the states in the US and people are already gravitating towards it.
1992 Kawasaki ZX7 - $3500

1993 BMW R100GS PD - $5900
I’d consider this “cheap” even if all of that work hadn’t been done so classifying this one as a deal! For sale in Colorado on Craigslist. From the ad:
This is an unfortunate posting for me; as I am selling the most reliable machine, out of a great many, I have ever had the pleasure of owning. This Beemer has had two owners (including me). When I found this bike, I had the fortunate pleasure to do a full rebuild (engine, tranny cir-clip, spline lubed, etc..) with one (west coast) of the two United States BMW motorcycle importers whom naturally was a master mechanic on all the bikes he imported; he worked for BMW from the early 70's-late 00's. Therefore, all of the up-keep and maintenance has been done by me. It is custom for me to have a shop double-check the bike before large expeditions. Never anything but excellent reviews fro my mechanic. "runs like a watch"
It comes with a great many things because this bike is ready to ride around the world tomorrow.
Included:
Ohlins rear shock rebuild (not by me) - very recent.
Silver Canyon Cut Happy Trails Panniers.
Aerostitch electric pump/ patch kit.
ABUS lock W/ Chain.
BMW R100RS with Ural Sidecar - $10950
Low miles and appears to be well engineered. This bike has been for sale for a while, not sure why, perhaps the location? For sale in Bend on Craigslist.
From the ad: Exceptionally well assembled hack with all the right stuff. Leading link front suspension with Koni shocks. Appropriate bike sub frame. Heavy duty rear air shocks. Pretty certain this is a Neff build (Google Neff Sidecars in AZ) New rear Metzler Block K with extra new Block K included as well as a set of BMW hard bags in as new condition and about $1K in other extras. This is the best tracking and easiest Hack to ride I've ever driven. It will not beat you up trying to keep it going in a straight line on the interstate and unlike Urals you can go highway speeds with enough grunt to pass and you won't be left stranded.
