This week we're ready to get out on the road and ride, and this classic Guzzi looks like the perfect bike to do it on. With just 22k original miles, this Ambassador appears to have been lovingly maintained (but still ridden), and it's already set up for touring with a period fairing and bags. All it needs is, well, you.

According to the auction, it is a two-owner bike. Originally purchased by a motorcycle mechanic from Detroit (who worked at the Guzzi shop where it was purchased), the first owner kept it for 26 years before selling it to a friend who moved to Florida. The Wixom touring package and the touring seat were installed when the bike was new. It's just received a full tune-up, a new battery and all new fluids. It's in need of a set of new tires, but other than that it's ready to go.

This week's eBay scouting found the crown jewel of 1970s Hondas: an original 1979 CBX Super Sport.

The auction claims that "This bike is in Mint condition and runs like a brand new bike. Everything on this bike is original and untouched. The seat is perfect with no tears. The paint is perfect and original. The motor runs strong with no known mechanical defects of any kind. There is no smoke, no odd sounding noises and no transmission problems. Both tires are in great condition with about half of the tread left. The chrome is in great condition with no rust and the exhaust is original and in great condition. This is a very low mileage bike and has plenty of life left in the motor. This CBX is one of the few survivors of the 79 models that has not been restored and looks this good."

If this catches your eye like it caught ours, check out the rest of the posted photos on eBay. To see the auction for this lovely Honda CBX, go here.

This week's eBay wandering led us to one of our favorite big "touring" bikes. Though some Honda purists prefer the earlier, more powerful models without all the bodywork, we've always loved the sport-touring guise of the 1981 and 1982 CBX Super Sports, which came with the fairing and hard saddlebags you see here. It's really just a big classic motorcycle with some wind protection and luggage, but it's an entertaining ride that sounds great, even with the stock mufflers.

1979 models had a factory-claimed horsepower rating of 103hp for the 1,047cc inline six-cylinder, but in response to new European rulings that limited horsepower ratings for motorcycles to 100, the CBX was detuned for 1980, to a claimed 98hp.

This particular example has had three owners. The current owner bought it from a friend in 1983 who was the second owner and had only had it a week. At that time, it showed approximately 3,500 miles, and now reads just over 23,000 miles and appears to be in lovely, if not perfect, shape.

This week's find is another British favorite: a BSA Rocket III. Introduced in 1968, the 750cc, 125mph three-cylinder Rocket III was crucial to BSA. The Japanese were flooding the market with high-tech, hi-power bikes, and the Rocket was BSA's attempt to stem the tide. And thought the motorcycling press labeled the Rocekt the world's first Superbike and applauded its performance, 1969 was just around the corner. With it came Honda's CB750, and suddenly the Rocket wasn't king anymore.

This beautifully restored 1969 BSA Rocket III is an amazing specimen, complete with a freshly rebuilt engine, a freshly powder coated frame and more. The seller states that the BSA has been  " ...completely restored with every item being rebuilt or replaced with new to original BSA factory specifications.  After restoration, it was started to confirm everything works, then stored in my home with zero miles and never ridden. Matching numbers NC00329 and cases 681A. No excuses or stories. This is as near perfect as you will find.

Why bid on just one nice old Yamaha RD when you could bid on three of them at once?

That's right. This auction is for two Yamaha RD250's and a Yamaha RD350, all 1975 models. While none of the bikes are perfect, all three are in running condition and would be great riders with minimal work.  All have clear and current Iowa titles, so getting them licensed in your state shouldn't be much trouble. Looks like the beginnings of a great garage full of fun to us!

Advertised as the last Velocette produced, this 1971 Velo LE is one rare find.

The auction for this 200cc, flat twin LE says the bike has just 153 original miles and was the very last Velocette to roll of the production lines in Birmingham, England.

Most Velocette fans are much more familiar with Velocette's more traditional single-cylinder bikes, but the "Little Engine," a flat twin, side-valve engine, won over many users and became very popular in the UK as a police motorcycle. The bikes had a reputation for near-silent operation, and were extremely sturdy and well built, running for years with just a small amount of regular maintenance.

This bike is listed as being completely original except for the battery, and it comes with the original tool kit and tire pump.

This Rocket III came from McBride Cycle in Toronto, where it was delivered when new. It became a part of the shop’s collection and remained there until it was purchased by Michael Kiernan (www.michaelsmotorcycles.com).

In fact, we featured this bike and its great story in the May/June 2007 of Motorcycle Classics, and now, for the right price, it could be yours. To read the rest of the story, go here.
