This Scout was once owned by Carlo Leto de Priolo, a Mille Miglia driver, adventurer, and above all, a man who was never known for lacking courage. The fact that someone like him was drawn to this Indian says quite a lot in itself.

The history of this motorcycle has been carefully documented, exactly the way we like to see it: supported by the correct paperwork and verified historical records. An honest motorcycle with an honest story.

What makes this Scout even more special is its past at the renowned Umberto Panini Museum in Italy. There, it formed part of the collection. During its restoration, great care was taken to preserve its historical authenticity under the watchful eye of none other than Umberto Panini himself. The result is remarkable. The motorcycle presents beautifully without concealing its history.

The Indian Scout is one of the most important models ever produced by the American marque. From its introduction in 1920 onward, the Scout earned a reputation for reliability, outstanding handling, and advanced engineering. It went on to become a true legend and is now widely regarded as one of the most significant motorcycles in American motorcycling history.

And honestly, we understand exactly why. Just look at it. Even standing still, this Indian commands your attention. It is the kind of object that elevates any setting, whether that is a museum, a private collection, or even your office.

A motorcycle for the collector who is not merely looking for something rare, but for something with character, history, and presence.

The 650cc engine featured a unit-construction layout and a single overhead camshaft, contributing to both reliability and ease of maintenance. This made the XS650 appealing not only to enthusiasts, but also well-suited for everyday use.

The model was both praised and criticized. Praised for its character and appearance, and criticized for its vibrations and quirks—precisely the traits that make it so appealing today.

This 1972 example, originally delivered in Indiana (USA), has been expertly restored and overhauled. It is documented with photographs and various records, and is registered in the Netherlands. The motorcycle presents in a fine condition and runs and performs well.

An iconic classic with a strong character and an intriguing history.

This MV Agusta 750 S was purchased by racing driver Marcel Albers just one month before he tragically lost his life in a Formula 3 race. His family decided to keep the motorcycle and remained its custodians for more than forty years. That fact alone makes this MV Agusta unique.

The motorcycle was later completely restored and rebuilt by Alan Docking Racing as a tribute to Marcel Albers. The restoration was extensively documented with photographs, creating a comprehensive record of the entire process and preserving its history in exceptional detail.

In addition, this MV was used during the 1980s by a scientist from University of Oxford for his daily commute to work. A brilliant mind with impeccable taste, one might say. That story alone is fascinating and perfectly reflects the character and atmosphere surrounding this motorcycle.

The MV Agusta 750 S was developed as the sporting successor to the 600 and carried the racing DNA that made the marque world-famous. The four-cylinder engine, the exquisite engineering, and of course the iconic styling all make it clear why this motorcycle remains so highly regarded among enthusiasts and collectors today.

This particular example combines exclusivity, history, and emotion in a way that is rarely encountered. It is a motorcycle that is not only impressive to look at, but one that tells a story unlike any other.

The Benelli Sei was the world’s first production motorcycle equipped with a six-cylinder engine. That fact alone makes it special. But this particular Benelli goes a step further. This example was restored, rebuilt, and refined without compromise by a Dutch specialist and enthusiast who understood exactly what a motorcycle of this caliber deserves.

The result is nothing short of remarkable. The finish is exquisite, the mechanicals have been meticulously attended to, and its presence is simply phenomenal. This is a motorcycle that continues to reveal new details the longer you look at it. Everything is exactly as it should be. And then there is the sound. We could say it sounds magnificent, but that hardly does justice to the experience. The six-cylinder engine produces a soundtrack that is at once beautiful and faintly unsettling. As if an Italian orchestra suddenly decided to perform a racing symphony. You hear it once and never forget it.

The 900 Sei was an extravagant machine in its day. Rare, expensive, technically fascinating, and built for enthusiasts who wanted something different from the mainstream. Today, that remains just as true. In fact, the Sei has evolved into a genuine cult classic and is admired by collectors around the world for its unique engineering and unmistakable character.

This particular example is more than a motorcycle. It is a work of art on two wheels. A creation born from visionaries who had no interest in the ordinary and pursued only the extraordinary.

But this Mille MHR tells a second story as well. In 1985 and 1986, Ducati brought to an end something that had defined the brand for decades: the famous bevel-drive engine. This Mille belongs to the final generation of that engineering concept and therefore represents the closing chapter of a truly significant era in Ducati’s history.

This particular example is presented in exceptionally beautiful condition and has always been maintained by a Ducati specialist. In addition, this Ducati comes from the collection of an internationally renowned TI-Raleigh professional cyclist. A true enthusiast of speed on two wheels, both with and without an engine, it would seem.

The Mille version introduced several important technical improvements and ultimately became the definitive evolution of Ducati’s legendary bevel-drive twin. Today, these motorcycles are regarded as highly desirable collector’s items. Not only because of their engineering, but above all because of their significance within Ducati’s heritage.

This Ducati is fully prepared for its next custodian. For someone who understands that certain motorcycles are far more than mere means of transportation. This is a genuine collector’s piece, wrapped in one of the most beautiful designs the marque has ever produced.

The company also reportedly produced bicycles from about 1869, an obvious basis for what would lead to the first motorcycle in the early 1900s, at least a frame that could accommodate a ‘minerva type’ engine. The first true BSA motorcycle was presented at the Olympia Show in London in October 1910. It was constructed in the manner common at the time: a single-cylinder side-valve engine without rear suspension, clutch or gearbox, but with a parallelogram fork at the front. . In 1965 the production of the BSA Lightning began, made known to the public through the James Bond movie Thunderball, a 650 cc motorcycle with 2 cylinders and ditto carburettors, coupled to a 4-speed gearbox, used as an all-round sports model, mainly intended for the US market. Production ran until 1972, the year our Lightning was first registered, one of the last. The advantage of this late copy is that it had some updates such as a balanced exhaust and improved front brakes. The BSA comes from Colorado and is in well-maintained and used condition. The fact that the motorcycle was never restored makes it extra beautiful, precisely because of its (minimal) signs of use. The engine starts and runs, but it has stood still in recent years, so some love beforehand is recommended. The paint is good, probably original, but not perfect, the same applies to the chrome, in good condition but not perfect. You would wish that all motorcycles of this age stood like this, not restored, a wrinkle here and there, pure enjoyment.

Quarter-mile acceleration times of around 12 seconds made it abundantly clear that this was no ordinary motorcycle. The Mach IV was renowned for its raw power and immediate character—traits that firmly established its reputation.

At the same time, Kawasaki continued to refine the model, improving handling and stability compared to earlier versions. This makes the later production years, including 1975, particularly appealing to enthusiasts.

The example offered here has been professionally restored and presents in a very well-kept condition. The motorcycle runs and performs well and is registered in the Netherlands.

A powerful and characterful classic that definitively established Kawasaki’s reputation as a builder of uncompromising motorcycles.

The Z 900 quickly became known as the “King of the Road”—and for good reason. Its combination of performance, reliability, and long-distance capability made it one of the most complete motorcycles of its time.

During the entire restoration and overhaul, the decision was made to install a 1000 cc engine instead of the 900 cc.

The inline four-cylinder engine delivered smooth yet powerful performance, while the design was both functional and instantly recognizable. This was a motorcycle that was not only fast, but also perfectly suited for everyday use and extended rides.

This 1975 example has been beautifully restored with respect for factory specifications. The motorcycle presents in a fine condition, has been mechanically overhauled, and performs well. It is also registered in the Netherlands.

A milestone in motorcycling history and an absolute classic within the Kawasaki range.

Now this is a true classic. And not just any classic — this is a 1978 Kawasaki KZ650, finished in the striking Candy Emerald Green. But here’s what makes it truly special: this is number 10 ever built. Yes, the tenth motorcycle to leave the factory. How extraordinary is that?

Only 190 kilometers

You read that right — this Kawasaki has covered just 190 kilometers since new. One hundred and ninety. It’s essentially brand new, as if it just rolled out of a 1978 showroom. This is nothing short of a time capsule.

Back in the day, the KZ650 (known in Europe as the Z650) was Kawasaki’s ultimate middleweight — the little brother to the legendary Z900, but with its own distinctive character. Lighter, more agile, yet still packing that iconic four-cylinder, air-cooled punch. Under the tank sits a 652cc DOHC inline-four, delivering that unmistakable, raw Kawasaki growl. Fire it up and it sounds like four trumpets waking up on adrenaline. The 1978 model year was a special one, bringing a series of smart refinements: The front brake caliper was moved behind the fork leg for better balance. A rear disc brake was added for improved stopping power. And for the engineers among us: the swingarm bushings were upgraded to needle bearings for smoother suspension movement. Even the fuel petcock was redesigned to close automatically — a small but clever touch of Japanese ingenuity.

Outstanding Originality

What truly sets this machine apart is its remarkable originality combined with its near-zero mileage. It remains exactly as it left the factory — original paint, decals, documentation, and even the iconic California Blue Plate still attached. It has spent its entire life with one careful owner in California, preserved like a piece of mechanical art.

And that’s exactly what it is: a time capsule from the golden age of the “Universal Japanese Motorcycle.” A period when brands like Honda, Suzuki, and Kawasaki built machines that could do it all: sporty, reliable, beautifully balanced, and brimming with character — motorcycles that quite literally changed the world.

The S2, also referred to as the Mach II, was positioned between its smaller and larger siblings and offered a compelling balance between power and handling. Its 346cc three-cylinder two-stroke engine delivered smooth performance, while the relatively lightweight double cradle frame contributed to its agile character.

Where the larger models were sometimes regarded as uncompromising, the S2 provided a more accessible riding experience without losing the distinctive Kawasaki character. This made it particularly appealing at the time to riders seeking performance while retaining a sense of control.

The example offered here has been restored with great attention to detail, with a clear emphasis on originality and correct specifications. The motorcycle presents in a very attractive condition, has been mechanically overhauled, and performs as it should. It is also registered in the Netherlands.

A rarer representative of the Triple family, with a character of its own and an important role in Kawasaki’s history.
