Last year I built two of these motorcycles, with the intentions of selling one and keeping the best bike to add to my collection. One bike I took to the Vegas motorcycle auction and it did not reach my reserve (I think bidding only went to $7500) so I brought it home and listed it on Ebay…. I actually wound up trading that bike to a guy in San Francisco for 2 bikes, a Laverda 750 and a Honda CB750 (good trade). He actually had to go back to Germany and relisted it on Ebay and sold it to the Griotes museum last summer. So, my plans have changed and this beauty needs to go to another home….This will be a ** NO RESERVE ** auction!Beautiful museum quality restoration by Kent Riches Any Italian motorcycle collector worth his weight in salt will know that a Motobi racer is one of the most desirable and sought after machines… A Motobi racer rarely makes it to the open market… They are usually passed around between collectors, friends and museums… Now is your opportunity to add a highly desirable brand to your Italian collection… This classic racer has had a no-expense spared restoration to make this piece a true museum quality motorcycle. Flawless paint, accurate decals and badging are just some of the fine detailed work. Other features are… Zanzani frame modifications for road racing C2 camshaft Ceriani forks Grimeca brakes Radelli rims Rob North megaphone exhaust Dellorto carb with velocity stack Fiberglass fairing tank and tail The motor is fresh and ready to run This restoration is the best of the best and almost to nice to race. That being said, if you have ever thought about vintage road racing this would be an excellent bike. This is a rare opportunity to get a beautiful motorcycle… don’t let it slip by…This is a ** NO RESERVE ** auction. I do have the bike for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction if it sells before auction end.

Kent Riches ps... i can take this bike to forward air in San Diego for free, and i can also toss it in the trailer and take her to the Vegas auction in Jan since i am going there.... kr
