One of 750 ever built, the Kawasaki KZ1000R ELR (Eddie Lawson Replica) was a limited edition homage to the mount of Eddie Lawson, 4x winner of the World Championship (among many other titles). It was aggressively set up, and with the exception of subpar shocks, consumers and reviewers loved this bike.
$2,000 – 1990 Honda VFR750F
Here’s a solid example of a classic sport-tourer – this was the first year that the VFR got a single-sided swingarm, and it was the only year you could get this red/white paint scheme.
In Australia – DR BIG – 1988 Suzuki DR750S
I haven’t seen one of these for sale in years, now I’ve seen two in a month! In addition to having one of the best names in the business, the Suzuki DR BIG featured the biggest single cylinder motorcycle engine available when it was released.
“Super Survivor” – 1978 Suzuki GS1000E
Here’s an impressively original Suzuki GS1000E – the seller affectionately calls it the Skunk. It’s being offered by the 3rd owner, who has maintenance records back to 1980 and claims that there’s no rust or damage.
58k Miles – 1964 Honda Dream 305
Now this is impressive. This Dream has a healthy 58,000 miles on it – and only 350 were put on in the last 20 years!
< 2K Miles - 1989 Honda GB500
Post Sale Update: This GB sold for $5,000 after 24 bids on eBay. You’re all familiar with the Honda GB500, a bike that I have trouble not featuring. This example was bought by the seller in 2005, and it’s apparently taken him/her 10 years to realize s/he isn’t going to ride it. Now it’s your change to put some miles …
1968 Honda CB450 K1
The K1 CB450 was a one year only bike, and it was the last Honda to rock chrome panels on the gas tank.
1979 Honda CB750 10th Anniversary
10 years after releasing the CB750, Honda put out an Anniversary Edition to mark the occasion. Differences between the Anniversary Edition and the K model include mag rims instead of spoked wheels, and different badges/side covers. Like the base bike, the 748cc engine produced 78 horsepower and 48 pound-feet of torque that went through a 5-speed transmission, yielding a top …
1986 Yamaha SRX600
Just like the SR500, the SRX600 featured the engine from one of Yamaha’s dirtbikes placed into a chassis to enable sporty street riding. Unlike the SR500, this bike sold poorly outside of Japan. Here in the states, it only lasted for a year. But the 45 horsepower was enough to have fun, and some people consider it to be a …
1973 Honda CR750
Compare this to the previous post of a CB750 chopper – talk about two different ways a bike can be modified! After Honda’s victory at the 1970 Daytona 200, they sold 200 race kits that would turn a CB750 into a CR750 racer. Those kits cost $10,000 back in the day, which would roughly equate to $61,000 now.

Every week, Dino (Dean Segovis) of “Hack A Week” picks a project and documents his work on his website and on YouTube. Over 34 episodes, he turned a non-running $500 Sabre into a cafe racer.
6 into 6 – 1979 Honda CBX
View Post1986 Suzuki GSXR 750 Limited Edition
The Suzuki GSXR 750 Limited Edition was an absolute legend in the world of 80’s sportsbikes – a bike that deserved the 50% increase in MSRP over the regular GSXR 750. The dry clutch upgrade was a $2,000 option in itself!
1978 Kawasaki Rickman CR900
Post Listing Update: This Rickman was relisted at a lower price of $22,000, but that wasn’t enough of a discount for anyone to hit “Buy It Now.” The last time this Kawasaki Rickman was up for sale, I thought it was too expensive to feature. I still think it’s too expensive, but I figured you should at least see it!
