One of the most valuable motorcycles in the world is going to auction in Italy next month. The Brough Superior SS100 nicknamed "Moby Dick" by Motor Cycling (U.K.) magazine in 1931 was also proclaimed at that time as "the fastest privately owned machine in the world." Previously sold by Bonhams for £210,500 (US$333,210) in 2011, when it became one of the top 10 most valuable motorcycles ever sold, Moby Dick is estimated by auctioneers RM-Sothebys to sell for between EUR€500,000 and EUR€700,000 (US$550,000 to US$770,000).
