1976 Honda CB400F Super Sport
A show-winning example (1st Place in Classic ’76-’89 at the Classic Japanese Motorcycle Club Show in Auburn, California) of the Honda CB400F Super Sport, this beauty is claimed to run like new and look like it should still be in a showroom. Hard to argue with the cosmetic claims, based on the photos. The only thing the seller has replaced …
1980 Rickman CRE 1000 Predator
I’ve featured plenty of bikes from this seller (who somehow always has his/her hands on exquisite Italian machinery), many of which have been Bimotas that featured Italian frames/bodywork around Japanese engines. This time around we’re going with the British/Japanese combo of the Rickman CRE 1000 Predator, an odd sport-touring bike from a machine most people associate with expressions of light …
1992 Yamaha TZR250SP
Post-Sale Update: It seems this bike has quickly sold – would love to know what the final price was… Though it’s a bit overpriced, this is a beautiful, low-mileage (<1,000) example of the Yamaha TZR250SP, a race bike for the streets. As it’s a SP (Sport Production) model, it got expensive goodies like USD forks and a dry clutch. This …

New in Crate – 2 1986 Honda Z50 Christmas Specials
Post-Sale Update: Incredibly (at least to me) these Z50s sold for $42,500 after 43 bids on eBay!

It was called the Z50RDG – the D stood for Dealer, and I can’t figure out what the G signified. Some …
Bike Review – 900 Miles with the Honda NM4
I’ll say it…I think this bike is gorgeous. With that said, despite 3 weeks and 900 miles with the Honda NM4, I’m still not sure what I think of it.

$100k Honda – 1992 Honda “NR750”
The last time I featured a $100k Honda, it was one of the four original CB750 prototypes. This time we’re skipping ahead a few decades, to a bike that some consider to be the greatest of all time – the Honda NR750. Also known as the RC40, this bike was a technological showcase for Big Red that featured oval pistons, …
1989 Honda GB500
Post Sale Update: This GB500 sold for $8,100 after 20 bids on eBay. Honda’s GB500 has become quite a cult classic (with the selling prices to prove it) thanks to its classic (British) good looks and Honda reliability. Here’s an example that stands out thanks to its excellent cosmetic condition and an R90S-looking aftermarket fairing that can thankfully be pulled …
