When you think about cafe-builds, Honda likely comes to mind, however the name: Goldwing, probably not so much. Nonetheless this unusual cafe example boasts the classic 999cc GL1000 Goldwing powerplant from 1976. This old school Honda-tourer has undergone a complete rebuild from the ground up with all the metal being blasted and repainted before piecing together this odd two-wheeler. As …

1 of 9 – Bandit9 Eve

Anheuser-Busch Promotion – 2000 Yamaha V-Star 650 Sidecar
Riders are all excited about Yamaha’s announcement this morning of the new Star Venture, but I suspect that’s because they forgot the majesty of this sidecar that was built for an Anheuser-Busch non-alcoholic energy drink called 180 Degrees. It was their attempt to take on Red Bull, and I think you know how it ended. Per the seller, Motorvation built …
Isle of Man TT Racer – 2013 Honda CBR1000RR

View PostStreet Legal – 2007 Husqvarna SMR450 with CR500 Motor
5 years ago, I saw one of my favorite posts of all time on BikeEXIF – a crazy person had stuffed a CR500 motor into a Husqvarna supermoto to create a “Husqvonda.” It was a street-legal monster that was said to put down “80-85 horsepower to the rear wheel.” The bike isn’t in show condition any more, but it’s still …
Count ‘Em – 40 Honda CB160s
Someone in Minnesota has “about 40” Honda CB160s for sale. Not enough? How about “about 10” Benly 150s, a couple of CL160s, and a CA160 for good measure? I’ve mentioned in the past that one of my favorite AHRMA race classes is for CB160s – here’s your chance to start your own race team and have enough spares for years!
Heavily Customized – 2014 Honda Grom
