Iconic's 4th auction hitting our site today: a sup

Iconic's 4th auction hitting our site today: a super low-mile example of what was once Moto Guzzi’s most powerful v-twin bike! This Daytona 1000's from 1993 and it's available for bid now on Iconicmotorbikeauctions.com

Dr. John Wittner made a name for himself in the late 80’s thanks to his ability to modify the hell out of MG’s – his bikes won consecutive US Endurance Championships, among other racers. Due to his success, the Guzzi factory asked him to come to Italy and help develop a superbike unlike anything the Italian firm had produced before. The Moto Guzzi Daytona 1000 was born, and it was the most powerful Guzzi ever built at the time.

Unusually for a sportbike, the Daytona retained the traditional MG shaft drive, though they utilized a system similar to BMW’s Duolever to counteract shaft-jacking. Realistically, it was a bike that didn’t feel as nimble as the Japanese competition, but die hard Guzzi fans and riders looking for something a little bit different found it be charming, and relatively easy to ride thanks to the torque.

From a Cycle World review in 1993: “Both the 888 and the Daytona are expensive. Both are exclusive. Both are exciting. Both speak to the emotions. And both are very easy to fall in love with.”

The seller states “I purchased the Daytona as a Christmas present to myself in 2023. I have ridden it sparingly (to keep the miles low) and enjoyed staring at it often. With many other bikes to ride and maintain, I have decided that it’s time to allow another caretaker to enjoy the bike. It will be missed, and I will likely regret the sale.” The odometer shows 1,452 miles.

Maintenance:
In preparation for the listing, the seller had us perform a safety inspection. For our service department's full condition report, feel free to visit the listing on the auction site!

Currently located in Santa Monica, California, this Moto Guzzi is offered on a clean California title with registration current through May 2025.

Please Note: the VIN report for this bike incorrectly states the bike is a model year 2023.

Hitting our auction site 2nd today: an RSV4 Factor

Hitting our auction site 2nd today: an RSV4 Factory aPRC ABS that sports an aftermarket slip-on, bodywork, and more! This iconic Aprilia's from 2014 and it's available for bid now on Iconicmotorbikeauctions.com

After a decade of its flagship V-Twin platform, Aprilia introduced the all-new RSV4 superbike in 2009. Built to compete in the 2009 World Superbike Championship series, the RSV4 was Aprilia’s first-ever four-cylinder model.

The RSV4’s chassis was the latest in Aprilia’s line of Grand Prix-bred aluminum twin-spar frames. The trick twin-beam unit was constructed from a hybrid of cast and pressed sheet sections, offering the optimal balance of strength and rigidity. Equally race-inspired and derived from the same manufacturing techniques was the RSV4’s double-arch aluminum swingarm.

Aprilia took it upon themselves to load up this Factory model with lightweight rims, a quickshifter, Ohlins multi-adjustable suspension, and the most advanced version of ABS they had made yet, with 3 programmable features all catered to separate environments: Track, Sport, and Rain. Plus the new aPRC (Aprilia Performance Ride Control) allowed for riders to adjust traction control, wheelie control, and launch control to three separate levels.

The seller purchased the bike in 2016 from Rumbleon. During his ownership, the seller has covered approximately 10,000 miles. The odometer shows 11,941 miles.

Maintenance:
Per the seller, “Valve check and regular maintenance. There is a left turn signal relay flasher error.”

Modifications:
“Mostly cosmetic, slip on exhaust and shortened throttle movement tube, modified headlights.” The sale includes an extra wheel.

Currently located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, this Aprilia is offered on a clean Pennsylvania title.

Our long term client and my good mate went all out on this one. He won numerous regional championships and a few podiums at Daytona but now he’s retiring from racing and doing a super cool Ariel Nomad @nomadadventureusa tour company.

We hope to have this one on the auction site as soon as next week and if you’re looking for the ultimate track bike…this may be the hot ticket.

First up for Iconic today's a ’96 frame for your

First up for Iconic today's a ’96 frame for your next NC35 project! This Honda RVF400 cavity's available for bid now with NO RESERVE on iconicmotorbikeauctions.com

Please Note: Iconic has reduced the minimum buyer fee on this item from $250 to $150.

In 1994, Honda introduced the RVF400, or NC35. Successor to the VFR400 (not confusing at all), the NC35 was two things: a mini-me of the legendary RC45 and one of the greatest 400s ever built. Just like its 750cc big brother, the NC35’s fit and finish was top-notch, and the model had all the trappings of a full-size superbike in a potent 400cc package.

Think about what a 400cc sportbike means nowadays – then look at what this offered over 20 years ago with the single-sided swingarm, V4 motor, endurance racer-inspired air ducts, and gear-driven cams! The NC35 made it clear that small displacement bikes didn’t have to be cheap. In addition to all the nice details above, the liquid-cooled, DOHC, 90-degree, 399cc V4 with four-valves per cylinder, gear-driven cams, and quad 28mm carbs made just shy of 60hp at 13,000rpm. A 2020 Kawasaki Ninja 400 (still a very fun bike!) makes 45.

Never officially sold outside of the Japanese market, the RVF400 featured a V4 engine in an aluminum twin-spar frame paired with upside-down 41mm Showa forks and a monoshock out back. Dual front discs with Nissin calipers help to slow the 400 from its roughly 125 mph top speed.

The frame was sent to Iconic from Japan and the seller states, “Not from a crashed bike, came from a bike in Thailand that did not have documents, was switched for a Japanese titled frame.”

Currently located in Santa Monica, California, this Honda is offered on a Bill of Sale only.

Iconic's 4th closing auction for Thursday's a Monk

Iconic's 4th closing auction for Thursday's a Monkey-Davidson, the mini bagger sure to make you stand out! This Honda Z50J Gorilla's from 1996 and it's available for until 1PM PST with NO RESERVE now on Iconicmotorbikeauctions.com

Affectionately called the “Monkey” in other markets, the Mini Trail (as branded in the US) started life in 1961 as a ride at the Tama Tech amusement park, a former venture owned by a Honda subsidiary that was all about promoting the “joys of driving”.

The name came from the fact that riders looked like monkeys on the diminutive machines, but the bikes proved so popular that Honda created a production version in 1964. Between the small wheels and the ultra-compact wheelbase, riders of any size could swing a leg over knowing that they’d be in for a good time. Japan and Europe got to play with it first, but American riders got their chance in 1968 with a model designated the Z50.

For the engine, Honda borrowed the same, proven 49cc four-stroke single as found in the C100 step-thru. Though it made a mere 4.5hp, the four-speed gearbox allowed the bike to have plenty of giddyup for its size. In fact, Monkeys are perfectly streetable in many parts of the world — they can even be plated should you choose.

The seller purchased the bike through an Iconic auction approximately a year and a half ago and states, “This example is a rare Japanese market only 1996 Honda Gorilla. The bike have some quality Japanse “tuning” parts such as the aluminium swingarm, and most important the ultra rare Kijima (small Japanse factory) Monkey-Davidson kit.” The odometer shows 734 KM which is 456 miles.

-“Only 50 Monkey-Davidson kits have been produced pre-2000, they are ultra rare and collectable nowadays”
-Kijima Mon-Davi kit
-Aftermarket fish-tail mufflers and foot pegs

Currently located in Seattle, Washington, this Honda is offered on a Bill of Sale only.

Third set to finish up for Iconicmotorbikeauctions

Third set to finish up for Iconicmotorbikeauctions.com Thursday's been outfitted with panniers, luggage, and lots of touring extras! This one-owner BMW F800ST's an ideal road trip companion; it's from 2007 and available for bid until 12PM PST!

With performance and comfort at the forefront of its design, the BMW F800ST was first made in 2006 as part of BMW’s Motorrad F-series lineup. The BMW F800ST is powered by a liquid-cooled, 798cc parallel-twin engine with four valves per cylinder that produces a maximum power output of 85 horsepower at 8,000 rpm and a peak torque of 63 Nm (46 lb-ft) at 5,800 rpm.

As RoadCarver phrases it in their review of the bike, “The BMW f800 ST is precisely the sort of bike you can get the most out of.”

The seller is the original owner and purchased the bike new from Honda of Hollywood in Los Angeles, California, and states, “I have loved this bike. Great for the city, but have also done big roadtrips to WA, NV, AZ. Utterly reliable."

Maintenance:
In preparation for the listing, the seller had our service department change the oil and oil filter, flush the brake fluid and install new rear pads, and replace the fuel pump. For our service department's full condition report, feel free to visit the listing on the auction site!

4th to hit the Iconic auction site today's a burgu

4th to hit the Iconic auction site today's a burgundy MV Agusta that sports lowered bars, STM slipper clutch, aftermarket turn signals, and more! This Brutale 1090R's from 2012 and it's available for bid now on Iconicmotorbikeauctions.com

MV debuted the appropriately-named Brutale in 2001 with the Andrea Goggi-developed F4 motor enveloped in an aggressive, naked design penned by Massimo Tamburini. It wasn’t as fast as other 750s of the time, but the styling and handling earned many fans – MCN called it “arguably the most stunning roadster type motorbike anyone can own.”

As it goes in the world of motorcycling, MV continually stuffed larger engines into the Brutale frame – by 2007 the top of the line powerplant was displacing 1,078cc. 2009 was the last year of Tamburini’s design, and in 2012 MV released the 1090R still with the same 1,078cc engine now pumping out a claimed 144hp and 82.5 claimed ft-lbs of torque with a dry weight of 404lbs.

The seller purchased the bike in 2014 from The Cycle Exchange in Ledgewood, New Jersey, and states, “Great bike, wish I didn’t have to sell it.”

During his ownership, the seller has covered approximately 5,000 miles. The odometer shows 14,714 miles.

Maintenance:
Per the seller, “Valve checks, and regular maintenance.”

Modifications:
“Mostly cosmetic upgrades, lower handlebar, aftermarket headlight and turn signals, rear spoked rim, also an STM slipper clutch was added.” The sale includes the owner’s box, tool kit, and spare wheel.

Currently located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, this MV Agusta is offered on a clean Pennsylvania title.

Wrapping up second for Iconic Motorbikes Thursday:

Wrapping up second for Iconic Motorbikes Thursday: a highly stock GSX-R1000 that sports engine sliders and under 7,000 miles on its clock! This iconic Suzuki's from 2001 and it's available for bid until 11AM PST on Iconicmotorbikeauctions.com

After approximately a decade and a half with the GSX-R1100 being the top of the Gixxer lineup, Suzuki introduced the all-new GSX-R1000 for 2001. Journalists felt it was the first bike to compete with Yamaha’s revolutionary R1 of 1998, and Suzuki was able to top the R1 with less weight and more power (374 pound dry weight, 160 hp/81 lb-ft at the crank).

As Visor Down put it in its used review: “Famous for its staggering performance the GSX-R1000 may be. But behind the supercar-slaying speed lurks a much more relaxed animal that fits into the real world quite nicely. And on that basis the rapid all-rounder might be a bit more suited to your needs than you’d expect.”

The seller purchased the bike in Japan from the original owner and subsequently sent it to Iconic. He states, “Bought it as an example of a first year K1 GSX-R1000 but does not really fit in with my 240/400cc JDM collection. This was the bike that set a new standard in liter bikes, like the 98 R1 and 92 900RR before it. This is an original low mile unmolested example, originally a Canadian model, it was a new re-import to Japan because it was full power when the JDM version was restricted."

Per the seller, “In December 2024 pretty full service on the bike. New NGK spark plugs, injectors and fuel pump were pulled off bike and cleaned, injectors flow tested. New Eneos 10w-40 oil and OEM Suzuki filter, fresh DOT4 brake fluid flush and fill front and rear, all of this work has less than 25 miles on it, just before sending to Iconic. Runs and rides great, tires are getting a bit old as is the chain.”

In preparation for the listing, the seller had us perform a safety inspection.
“Bike has aftermarket frame sliders, otherwise all stock and original.”

Currently located in Santa Monica, California, this Suzuki is offered on a Bill of Sale only.

Going live 3rd for Iconic Motorbikes today is an R

Going live 3rd for Iconic Motorbikes today is an RZV500R from Japan with an aftermarket exhaust, Ohlins suspension, and more! This iconic Yamaha's from 1984 and it's available for bid now on Iconicmotorbikeauctions.com

The RZ was introduced in 1984 and was arguably the first production race replica. Built to emulate Kenny Roberts’ YZR500 factory racer, the RZ500 was the closest thing two-stroke enthusiasts had to a GP competitor for the road… as long as you didn’t live in the United States of America. Emissions rules put in place by the EPA prevented Yamaha from selling the RZ500 in the US, so the select few we get to enjoy had to be imported (typically from Canada). But the RZV is extra special, as it was a bike for the Japanese market that had some distinct changes.

There were minor ones – a switch that converted the water temp gauge into a fuel gauge, fork preload adjusters at the top of the forks, or the deletion of the self-canceling turn signals. But the reason RZ fans covet the RZV500R is because it also came with a hand-welded aluminum frame, which helped the bike weigh 20 pounds less than its international siblings.

This helped counteract a power cut – Japanese regulations required an output of no more than 64 ponies, which Yamaha enabled by restricting the exhaust and changing carb jets. Both things could be easily addressed to unlock the full claimed 87 horsepower.

Maintenance:
In preparation for the listing, the seller had us detail the bike. For our service department's full condition report, feel free to visit the listing on the auction site!

Modifications:
-Team Alpha Racing exhaust system
-ACT Sport rearsets
-Titanium nitride forks
-Brembo brake calipers on adapter plates

-Ohlins rear shock
-Aftermarket tinted windshield with red fasteners, clip-ons

First to close up for Iconic Thursday's a Japanese

First to close up for Iconic Thursday's a Japanese imported exhaust for you iconic Honda! This Moriwaki MP-101 exhaust will fit a 2000/2001 RC51 and it's available for bid until 10AM PST with NO RESERVE on iconicmotorbikeauctions.com

Please Note: Iconic has reduced the minimum buyer fee on this item from $250 to $150.

Introduced in the latter-half of 1999 as a 2000 model, the Honda RC51 was a big-bore V-Twin superbike created to put an end to Ducati’s reign of supremacy in production-based racing. The RC51 featured a powerful liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, 999cc, 90-degree, DOHC V-Twin paired with a six-speed transmission and an aluminum alloy twin-spar frame. Honda achieved some impressive results with its “Ducati killer” in the form of World Superbike Championship titles in 2000 and then later in 2002 — the same year the RC51 was ridden to an AMA Championship.

Moriwaki Engineering is a Suzuka, Japan based manufacturer or motorcycle performance parts and accessories. It was founded by Mamoru Moriwaki in 1973 who was a former racer for Hideo “Pops” Yoshimura in the 1960s (and actually married his eldest daughter). In the 1980s the company built a strong relationship with Honda and became the first outside firm allowed to use one of Honda’s racing engines. FAst forward to the 21st Century and Moriwaki competed in the premier MotoGP class with a Honda RC211V motor in a Moriwaki designed frame from 2003 to 2005.

The exhaust was sent to Iconic from Japan and the seller states, “This is pretty rare Ultra high mount Moriwaki MP-101 badged slip on exhaust for the Honda RC51 VTR1000 SP-1. This will fit 2000-2001 RC51, will also fit the SP2 if you use an SP1 header. Good used condition, and comes with a new reproduction set of the standard Moriwaki badges. This set was originally on one of the rare MP-101 Moriwaki SP-1s.” This set comes with extra decals and a mounting instruction manual.

Currently located in Santa Monica, California, this Honda is offered on a Bill of Sale only.
