It seems that these days, anything with a celebrity history demands a premium. Sellers know that people are often willing to pay many times an item’s actual value if it has a pedigree from a well known celebrity. So, for all those you who are enthralled with Star Wars and the “Long Way” series of motorcycle movies, here’s your chance. Ewan McGregor is apparently “simplifying his vintage car and bike collection” by listing his 1973 Moto Guzzi V7 Sport with about 1,500 miles for sale on… eBay. Its asking price, a cool $46,000 of your hard-earned bucks.

That represents a considerable premium over what Hagerty’s Classic Motorcycle Values says it’s worth. There, a Guzzi V7 Sport in good condition should fetch about $11,500. So, you have to ask yourself whether a celebrity owned motorcycle worth an extra $34,500. The description on eBay says that the bike was restored Cycle Garden of Indio California in 2010 and a fresh engine rebuild in 2022. All up, the description says that the machine has been restored at a cost of over $30,000 in 2010 dollars.
