In France – Clutch Motorcycles Kawasaki W650
Based out of Paris, Clutch Motorcycles has a consistent style in their builds that should appeal to those of you that prefer simplicity. Here’s their take on a 2001 W650 – Kawasaki’s competitor to the Bonneville.
Yamaha Engine – 1949 Harley-Davidson Hummer Racer
I’d love to know what the builder was thinking when he put this together. Starting with a ’49 Harley-Davidson Hummer, he added a ’53 Teleglide front end and…the motor from a ’87 Yamaha YZ125!
Ending Soon – 1969 Honda CL350 Scrambler
Over the years, Honda’s marketing department hit a lot of home runs. “You meet the nicest people on a Honda” was one of the first, but they came thick and fast through the 60s and 70s.
One Owner – 1993 Honda CBR900RR
Back in 1993, the seller of this bike was 44 years old. He had the good sense to buy one of the most revolutionary sportbikes of the 1990s, and he’s kept it until now. He’s kept it quite stock and in excellent condition, and now it’s ready for a new owner.
Restomod – 1984 Honda VF1000F Interceptor
Post Listing Update: This Interceptor did not meet reserve despite 32 bids up to $4,250. In 2008, the seller of this bike took a ’84 Interceptor and restomodded it to what you see here. It was featured in the June 2014 issue of Practical Sportsbikes Magazine, who said “The overall effect is understated, subtle and very much as if Honda …
1959 Tohatsu Runpet CA1B

March, 1967, Spokane, Washington State B Basketball Tournament was (still is) a big deal in Spokane, March ‘67 I was a Sophomore and the BB Tourney was a perfect excuse to get needed supplies for Baseball season and to cheer …
1989 Honda NX650 Dominator
My first taste of dual-sporting was with a beat up NX650, so I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for them. They don’t come up for sale very often, and this is one of the nicest I’ve seen in a while (I’d put the original front fender back on in an instant, though).
Ending Soon – 1983 Honda MVX250F
The MVX250F stands out for a few reasons – but the most notable is the unusual two-stroke V3 motor. Honda has a well-earned reputation for reliability but this was one of their few misses. That just makes it all the more impressive to see one still around and kicking, especially as they were only really sold in Japan and New …
Free – 1986 Kawasaki LTD454 Project
No, that’s not a typo. If you’re in the Bay Area, Evolution Motorcycles has a Kawasaki LTD that’s been sitting for a while (with compression issues in one cylinder) that they’re trying to get rid of. It needs work, but you can’t argue with the price!
1967 Suzuki X-6 Hustler
When the first Suzuki models hit America in 1963 it was with three two stroke twins that were very ordinary in performance and style. Nothing that would indicate the new model that would arrive in 1966, the X-6 (T 20 elsewhere). The first production motorcycle with a 6 speed transmission, it allowed a very good two stroke twin to stay …
Hurricane – 1991 Honda CBR1000F
The Honda CBR1000F was a long-lived sport tourer that did everything well, though period reviews suggest it wasn’t as exciting as the competition. Still, 135 horsepower at 155 miles per hour can’t be too boring, right? This example has just been unearthed from over a decade in storage, which is why it has just 16,530 miles. Even better? It’s being …
1982 Honda Motocompo
Post Listing Update: After being relisted, this Motocompo was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown. I don’t know why I like the Motocompo so much. It’s just so quirky and adorable that I can’t help but want one. Honda designed the Motocompo as a 50cc folding scooter that would fit in the trunk of subcompact cars Honda was …
Ending Soon in Japan – Ex-Suzuka 8 Hour Racer – 1987 Honda VFR750
In 1987, Doug Polen and Iain Pero placed 23rd at the 1987 Suzuka 8 Hour Endurance race. Though the race number has changed, this is supposedly the same bike.
Honda Z50 Collection
A seller in Hollywood, Florida has 5 different examples of Honda’s iconic Z50 line. From old to new: 1. 1969 Honda Z50A Military Tribute – the seller got this three years ago.
