In the already crazy world of motorcycle racing, I don’t think it gets crazier than sidecar racing. Here’s your chance to get started in the sport.
Purple Widowmaker – 1973 Kawasaki H2
Post Sale Update: This H2 sold for $10,000 after 21 bids on eBay. A legend in the motorcycling world, the Kawasaki H2 750 is remembered so fondly thanks to its peaky, narrow powerband and its poor handling characteristics. A bike for experts only, the Widowmaker commands respect wherever it goes.
Track Weapon – 2012 Kawasaki ZX-10R Tom Sykes Replica
View PostEx Police – 1977 Honda GL1000
This 1st gen Goldwing used to be a cop bike, and it retains the original cop lights, radio, and siren (though they’ve been disconnected). It’s been recently serviced and has just 6,800 miles on it.
1990 Honda XL600V Transalp
Though these are common in other countries, the Honda Transalp is a rare bike in the US – it was only sold here between ’89 and ’91. Out of the three color schemes, Fighting Red was the rarest.
KLR Cousin – 1990 Kawasaki Tengai
This Kawasaki Tengai was created as a sister bike to the venerable KLR 650. Magazine tests of the time cited the Tengai as a bit better off-road, and most thought it was better looking due to the extra plastic.
Full Resto – 1972 Suzuki TS400
Post Sale Update: After 16 bids on eBay, this TS400 sold for $5,000. For those of you that grew up on a TS400, here’s a hit of nostalgia that might make you want to open your wallet. Restored by Suzuki guru Jeff Weier, this bike is claimed to be better than new.
One Year Only – 1983 Yamaha XJ900RK Seca
View PostNew In Crate (in Germany) – 1986 Yamaha XT500
View PostConcourse Sandcast Resto – 1969 Honda CB750
Post-Listing Update: After 24 bids on eBay up to $18,600, this CB did not meet reserve. Starting with an abandoned chopper project, the seller of this bike took two years bringing it back to life as a beautiful sandcast bike.
1991 Honda Nighthawk 250
Post-Sale Update: This custom Nighthawk sold for just $860. That’s a great buy. Looking for a 250 to learn on/teach someone how to ride with but want something with a bit more style than the usual Ninja 250 or similar? This cafe’d Nighthawk might be right up your alley.
AACA Winner – 1968 Honda CL350
Though it’s ‘not a trailer queen’, this CL350 (VIN: CL3501039236)is a ‘cosmetically restored, well-preserved original’ that recently placed first in the Historic Preservation of Original Features (HPOF) class at a recent Antique Automobile Club of America event.
Ending Soon – 1978 Yamaha TZ350
View PostNice Price – 1978 Honda CB750K
This CB750 has 31,500 miles and is claimed to run well. It comes with a fairing with windshield and speakers, all for just $1,250 – presumably making it a great start for a CB project. Find this bike for sale in Blue Springs, Missouri for $1,250 here on Craigslist. This bike-uriousity brought to you by Christian E!
1984 Honda CB125S
In the seller’s words, “you will not get anywhere fast. Half the speedometer is for show.” But as long as you don’t mind a general lack of speed, her’s your chance to get a rare, tiny Honda that’s waiting to become a classic.
