If you're into sports bikes, chances are you're fully aware of what brands like Ducati, BMW, and Kawasaki are capable of delivering when money is no issue. Their halo bikes (like the BMW S 1000 RR, the Ducati Panigale (V4 or V4 R), and the Kawasaki Ninja H2) are lusted over by millions of riders. The sad reality, however, is that most of us can't afford them. The starting price of Kawasaki's Ninja H2 ABS, for example, is $32,100 and the V4 R is well over $45,000. That's an expensive toy, costing as much as a typical car, in a market that treats motorcycles as hobbies (and not a main mode of transportation).

It was introduced in 2006 as the 650R, and six years later with a series of adjustments, reborn as the Ninja 650.

While we frequently come across all sorts of interesting modern rides with shockingly low mileage totals at collector car auctions around the web, strangely enough, that list hasn’t yet included a Lincoln MKS. We say strange because many other defunct American sedans from the recent past have quickly become coveted items these days, so one would assume that the MKS would also follow suit. That hasn’t been the case thus far, but that may change now that this very nice 2010 Lincoln MKS has hit the auction block.
