Suzuki called the RE5 the future of motorcycling, thanks to its innovative rotary engine and distinctive styling. This is the ’75 model, which had more interesting design characteristics like the ‘tin can’ instrument cluster. The ’76 (and final model) was a little neutered in an attempt to make the bike more conventional.

From the factory, a ’67 VW Beetle produced 53 horsepower. Thanks to an interesting reverse trike conversion with the powertrain from a 1,100cc Suzuki Katana, this Beetle now produced 136 ponies!

11-08 Update: Almost a year later, reader David N notes that this Yamaha is back up for sale with a $1,500 discount – find it for sale here on Craigslist for $8,500 in NW Ohio.

The first generation of the Honda CBR900RR, affectionately known as the Fireblade, was a revolution in the large displacement sport bike market. Despite a 50% larger engine, this bike weighed just 4 pounds more than then CBR600F2. Just as important, this bike was a whopping 76 pounds lighter than its lightest competition! Here’s an example from our brothers to the …
Baby Gixxer – 1987 Suzuki GSX-R 50
The GSX-R 50 was Suzuki’s take on the street-legal minibike movement of the 80s. The Yamaha YSR50 and Honda NSR50 are the more common options, I love the ‘little engine that could’ feel of the Suzuki GSX-R 50 – especially this paint scheme which almost exactly matched what you’d get on the Gixxer 1100.

One of the prettiest motorcycles ever built (plus an absolute legendary sport bike), the Honda RC30 was produced in limited (300) numbers for homologation purposes so Honda could compete in WSBK. My favorite stat? It could hit 82 miles per hour in first gear.

View Post1984 Honda Gyro S
Introduced in 1982, the Gyro series of scoots are three-wheelers (one in the front, two in the back) where the body is able to lean up to 40 degrees compared to the rear axle! GYRO is actually an acronym, which stands for “Great Your Recreation Original”. Well, the translation’s not great, but you get the idea. The initial designs were …
1975 Honda GL1000 Cafe Racer
The seller of this custom ‘wing (an ex-F22 Raptor mechanic) says he/she spent about 3 years “restoring, modifying, and resurrecting this Goldwing from the grave.” How do you think it turned out?
