Earlier this week, I went the movie theater for the first time in over two years so that I could watch vehicular pornography called Mad Max: Fury Road. Don’t expect much of a story (but were you anyway?) and go enjoy an incredible visual feast. Run! Drop everything!

View Post1990 Moto Guzzi Le Mans 1000
Moto Guzzi learned from their mistake of putting a 16″ front wheel on the Mk V Le Mans, so the Mk5 went back to the usual 18 incher. Many other small but helpful improvements came together to form the last generation of Le Mans’, in a wall of red.
$4,000 – 2.5 Suzuki GT750s
The Suzuki GT750, also known as the Water Buffalo, was the bike that put Suzuki on the map in the United States. Introduced as competition to the big bikes of the day, like the Honda CB750 and the Triumph Bonneville, this bike was basically a T500 with an extra cylinder and liquid cooling crafted on.

The Ragged Edge Review
About a week ago, I shared a trailer for a documentary of Erik Buell called the Ragged Edge. I was lucky enough to get a screener copy of this film, and wanted to share my thoughts on what is basically a modern tragedy.
Needs Some Work – 1975 Yamaha TZ750
View Post1988 Honda NC30
Considered by some to be a baby RC30, the Honda NC30 (also known as the VFR400R) has become a cult classic in Japan – it was never officially imported to the US. Turn it into a fantastic trackday weapon or enjoy it on the street…it’s already been plated in Louisiana.

The photos aren’t great, but I can’t pass up the already rare Nimbus Model C when it’s paired with a sidecar!
1973 Triumph Trident 750 T150V
The last significant development from the Meriden plant, the Triumph Trident was built to meet US preferences (it even set speed records in Daytona before the Kawasaki Z1 came around).

Great Price – 1982 Honda CX500 Turbo
You guys seemed to be pleased with the last CX500 Turbo I featured, which was being offered at around $4,500. This one doesn’t look as nice (the original paint has faded a bit), but the asking price is less than half…better hurry! The seller says this bike is all original and that he’s had it since 2006. He doesn’t actually …
Needs Some Work – 1947 Velocette KSS
It’s not road ready just yet, but this KSS is ready to be brought back to life after the original owner passed away and this bike changed hands in an estate sale. It was apparently turned into a bit of a bobber in the 50s, hence the shortened fenders. Note that you’ll get a box of extra parts that includes …
