Post Sale Update: After 13 bids on eBay, this Dual Twin sold for $1,525. One of the many high quality (and somewhat pricey) small displacement bikes from a company we now only associate with tires, the Bridgestone 175 Dual Twin was basically a baby sport bike with two of their 90cc single engines merged together.
225 Miles – 1990 Honda GB500
In the late 80s, Honda took a risk and gave the world a beautiful motorcycle inspired by 60s thumper racers of the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy race – bikes like the Manx Norton and AJS 7R. Originally created as a 400cc bike in Japan, the bike got a bump in displacement to 500 cubic centimeters, and was then exported …
Clean Original – 1973 Honda CB500
Here’s a nearly mint example of the Honda CB50, with just one flaw – a dent in the right side exhaust pipe. Otherwise, this bike (VIN: CB500K12027628) looks fantastic with just 8,100 miles on the odometer. The seller notes that everything except for the tires and battery are original, and that the bike runs great. Comes with the original title, …
The Advanced KLR – 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. With that said, many felt that the improvements weren’t necessarily worth the slight increase in MSRP, especially if you were spending …
Pricier Than You’d Think – 1968 Suzuki RH67
You might not have heard of the Suzuki RH67 before, but it’s important in motorcycling history. Why? Because experts consider it to be the first Japanese motocrosser. Not many are left, and this beautifully restored example will probably sell for more than you’d expect.
Lawson Replica – 1982 Kawasaki KZ1000R ELR
One of 750 ever built, this 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.
Conquer Baja – 2007 Honda CRF450X
The last time I featured a Honda CRF450X, it was an example that had been modified to conquer snow. Today, I’ve got an example that’s been converted into a bad-ass rally bike.
Budget Tourer – 2002 Kawasaki Concours
The Kawasaki Concours isn’t the most exciting bike out there, however if you’ve been looking for an excuse to get into sport-touring, this might just be a perfect way to get started. This Connie has aux driving lights and an aftermarket windshield in addition to the factory luggage. It has all service records for the last 30,000 miles (odo is …
1994 Kawasaki KLR650 with Sidecar
Here’s a cool Kawasaki KLR650 with a sidecar that was specifically built to house a Newfoundland, though it apparently will fit a normal sized dog and a person just fine. The bike has just 13k miles and has been modified with hard luggage, a bigger windshield, and a 7 gallon fuel tank. Find this KLR650 rig for sale here on …
Moto2 Racer – 2010 Moriwaki MD600
The Moriwaki MD600 was a race bike built to compete in the brand new (at the time) Moto2 class, designed to replace the two-stroke 250cc class as a feeder to MotoGP.
Honda TL250
One of the few four-stroke trials bikes of the 70s, the Honda TL250 was developed with tremendous input from Sammy Miller – the license plate of the prototype was SAM 1N. Production started in ’75, and approximately 4,000 bikes were eventually sold, most in the US. The 248cc single produced 16 horsepower. For more information on the TL250, check out …
$1,000 – 1979 Suzuki SP370
The Suzuki SP370 is a hard to find vintage dual-sport that features classic looks and…that’s pretty much it. It wasn’t very powerful (25 horsepower) but cost just as much as Yamaha’s 500cc competitor. With that said, it’s hard to argue with a grand. This example was stored for years and though it needs a little bit of TLC, it currently …
Nut and Bolt Resto – 1986 Suzuki GSX-R 750
Post Listing Update: After being relisted, this did not meet reserve with 24 bids up to $5,350. 12-1 Update: This Gixxer is back up for sale with bidding up to $4,300 and the reserve not yet met here on eBay. A classic sportbike, the Suzuki GSX-R 750 was originally introduced in 1985 and debuted with a win in the 24-hour …
3 Hodakas and Misc Parts
Hodaka, a Japanese-American joint venture, produced a series of very popular small-engine bikes during the 60s and 70s, with some fantastic names. My personal favorite (just on name alone) has to be the Combat Wombat, but this seller is giving you a chance to accumulate some other great names with 2 Dirt Squirts and 1 Super Rat.
1982 Honda CB750F + Freddie Spencer Helmet
Post-Sale Update: This Honda CB750F sold for an unknown best offer less than $2,500. Not a bad deal for the buyer! I’ll admit that I’m basically just featuring this bike so I have an excuse to feature the helmet. The Honda CB750F, also known as the Super Sport, was an evolution of the storied CB750 line. It gained some 80s …
