Unfortunately, the bigger brother RD400 is not available for sale, though they look great together. Find this Yamaha JT1 (VIN: JT1-025143) for sale with bidding up to $898.88 and the reserve not …

1974 Bultaco Tiron
Post-Sale Update: This Bultaco El Tiron sold for $2,392.67 after 31 bids on eBay. Here’s a rare off-roader from Bultaco – I can’t say that I’ve ever seen one in the wild.

1974 Moto Guzzi 850T Cafe Racer
Post-Sale Update: After being relisted, this Moto Guzzi 850T Cafe Racer sold for $5,127 on eBay. The touring variant of the venerable California, the Moto Guzzi 850T was an oddball. It wasn’t as pretty as the average Italian bike, but it was much more reliable – making it a great ‘do-it-all’ bike and an interesting platform for a wide variety …
Viper Powered – 2005 Boss Hoss ZZ4 Custom
Packing the 8.3 V-10 from a Dodge Viper, this modified Boss Hoss ZZ4 puts down 580 horsepower (730 when running on the onboard nitrous) and 630 pound feet of torque. Just two of these Viper powered bikes were built by the late Tony Reynolds, and here’s your chance to snag one of them.

Ever wanted to own a bike that’s graced the cover of a major motorcycling magazine? Well, here’s your chance. We’re back to Michael’s Motorcycles for this heavily modified Yamaha FZR600 that was the beneficiary of many Vance & Hines parts.

AHRMA Champion – 1971 Norton Commando
The Norton Commando is not a bike I’d associate with AHRMA Open Class racing, but today we’ve got a “recent” class champion available that’s been completely rebuilt, with the addition of lights for street riding. Interestingly enough, it has the front forks and wheels from a CZ motocross bike to help off-pavement. Find this Norton Commando for sale in Pleasant …

Production Racer – 1938 DKW SS 250
Post-Listing Update: Despite 20 bids on eBay topping out at $72,655, this DKW SS 250 failed to meet reserve. One of the most famous reverse-cylinder motorcycles of all time, the DKW SS 250 featured a “split-single” or “twingle” engine which had two pistons driven by a split con-rod. DKW used this technology in several bikes up to 500cc, but none …

1 Year Only – 1987 Yamaha SRX 250
For decades, Kawasaki ruled the 250cc ‘sport’bike market – though Honda has recently taken a chunk of the market with their CBR250R. Honda also challenged the little Ninja in the 80s with the VTR250, though it did not have much commercial success. For one year in the States, even Big Blue threw their hat into the ring with the Yamaha …
1989 Honda Transalp
Post-Sale Update: After 8 bids on eBay, this Honda Transalp sold for $3,428. That’s a solid buy. The Honda Transalp XL600V was a dual-sport that was truly ahead of its time. A slightly less off-road biased cousin of the Honda Africa Twin, the Transalp was first released in 1987. This was one of the odder bikes that Honda ever sold …
