This 1969 Honda CB750 sold for $30,800. Early production Honda CB750 engines were sand-cast until such time as the company was sure that a market existed for the model. Quite obviously, the market did exist and soon engines were being produced with die casting. The rougher sand-cast finish on the air-cooled cylinders and crankcase set the very early CB750 apart from its successors. These bikes are clearly entering hallowed ground.

This was not the original Ducati, but it was the start of something big. When Paul Smart and Bruno Spaggiari finished 1-2 in the Imola 200 in 19XX, the Ducati v-twin legend was born and has been growing ever since. This was the highest priced Ducati of the week, fetching $109,250

This was the world's fastest motorcycle in 1973 according to the Guinness Book of World Records. Widowmaker 7 runs a Chevrolet 350 ci (5735cc) V8 with every go-fast mod imaginable and in the day, exactly as it stands here, it held the world record for a standing start quarter mile at 8.68 seconds with a terminal speed of 172 mph. $65,000 cash would let you take it home but no-one bid that high.
