27 Miles – 1974 Suzuki GT250

In Japan, Standard by Abhi2 Comments

An evolution of the T250, the Suzuki GT250 got fake air scoops in the sidecovers and a “Ram Air” cylinder head that was supposed to force cold air to the back of the cylinder. Some people felt both features were equally effective, though others though the Ram Air provided actual benefits.

1981 Kawasaki AR80

In Japan, Small Displacement by Abhi1 Comment

Post Sale Update: This AR80 sold for $2,040 after 22 bids on eBay. Adorned in a repainted designed to emulate the original Firecracker Red, this little Kawi AR80 is a little two-stroker with style. Maybe not good style, but it’s got something. The 78cc engine produced about 10 horsepower, though this example ‘may’ have a big bore kit. This bike …

In Japan, Sport by AbhiLeave a Comment

Here’s a beautiful, low-mileage example of Honda’s first 6-cylinder production bike, this CBX looks basically new in Candy Glory Red. The glorious exhaust shows no rust, and it comes with the cover, shop manual, and parts catalog. The only flaw seems to be slight chrome pitting/a small ding on the left muffler and a touched-up scratch on the front fender.

5,285 Miles – 1994 Yamaha FZR600

In Japan, Less than 5k, Sport by Abhi2 Comments

Post-Listing Update: This FZR600 did not get any love at $2,995. Sold between ’89 and ’99, the FZR600 was an inline-four powered sportbike with a Deltabox frame. In many markets, this bike evolved into the “Foxeye” FZR/YZF, in 1994, though Yamaha kept selling this model for another 5 years. Here’s (VIN: JYA3HHE07RA070904) a low mileage example in a rare color …

1987 Yamaha SRX250

In Japan by AbhiLeave a Comment

A one-year-only tiny Yamaha, the SRX250 has become a bit of a cult classic. This is one of the rare California examples that came with the extra emissions crap that Cali requires. Without that, you can only import a bike inot the state if it has over 7,500 miles on the odometer. Here’s an example that’s claimed to run well …
