10 years after releasing the CB750, Honda put out 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 speed …
1974 Honda Elsinore CR125M Flat Tracker
When it was released, the Honda Elsinore was an absolute game-changer. Just under 20 horsepower and 200 pounds, it was light, it was reliable, and it had plenty of suspension travel. Competitors scrambled to catch up. Here’s an example that’s been converted into a flat tracker.
2005 Kawasaki Ninja 250 Custom
The Kawasaki Ninja 250 is known for being one of the best starter bikes ever built. Here’s a custom build that sheds a bit of that beginner image.
1 Owner – 1984 Honda XL250R
OK, sort of 1 owner – the seller has just picked it up and seems to be flipping it. The Honda XL250R was pretty common back in the day – it was one of the world’s first mass-produced 4 valve bikes. Impressively, this bike has under 4,000 miles and looks great as it’s been parked since 1993. It’s got the …
1967 Van Tech Honda S90
11-5 Update: Looks like this Van Tech Honda S90 is back up for sale. It’s unclear what has changed with the bike during the new owner’s care, but it’s now available in Upland, California with bidding up to $2,850 and the reserve not yet met here on eBay. Post-Sale Update: This Van Tech Honda S90 sold for $2,250 on eBay. …
26 Miles – 1990 Honda Transalp
I’ve gushed about the Transalp before – and even recently featured one with just 2,700 miles as I didn’t expect to find one with less miles anytime soon. Reader David N has squashed that theory with a find of a Transalp with just 26 miles. It’s been stored indoors for over 20 years, but recently has had the fluids flushed …
1973 Kawasaki H1 Street Tracker
18 months ago, this bike was built with a Champion Flat-tracker frame originally designed for a Yamaha DT1. The builder decided to have some fun and utilize a 500cc two-stroker from the Kawasaki H1. Modifications to the frame were limited to lower engine mounting points. Other goodies include Weiss triple trees, Vapor tach/speedo, HammerHead rea shocks, Betor forks, Takasago rims, …
1972 Honda CB100 + CB350 + CB750
I was walking to dinner last night (yes, people sometimes walk in LA) when I encountered this little CB100 – I thought the paint job was fantastic.
1973 Kawasaki H2 750
Affectionately known as the Widowmaker, the Kawasaki H2 750 might be the best-known motorcycle ever built by Kawi. In fact, the company is bringing the name back the upcoming Ninja H2 superbike. Here’s a beautiful original example (VIN: H2F-25970) with the right amount of wear. This bike has 5,700 miles and is being offered by the 2nd owner- the 1st …
1985 Honda V65 Sabre
Post Sale Update: This Sabre sold for $1,676.50 after 22 bids on eBay. The Honda V65 Sabre was built around the 1100cc engine that also powered its cruiser-brother, the Magna. The engine stole the show, as it produced 121 horsepower – capable of pushing the bike up to a “design speed” of 173 miles per hour. However arbitrary that might …
Euro Livery – 2003 Honda RC51 SP2
The RC51 is such an incredible bike – it combines Honda reliability with the joy of a V-Twin engine (my personal favorite) and it beat Ducati at its own game with multiple World Superbike Championships and a AMA Championship.
AHRMA Racer – 1979 Yamaha YZ400
Here’s a cheap Yamaha YZ400 that the seller acquired earlier this year and then built up into a racebike that placed 2nd at this year’s Barber Vintage Festival. It’s got DID rims, Acerbis hand guards, DG pipe with FMF turbincore exhaust and more – the only problem seems to be sticker wear from the seller’s knee braces. Here’s your chance …
1968 Yamaha DT-1 250
The Yamaha DT-1 250 was an absolute game changer when it was released, as it essentially created and dominated the market in the US. In fact, some argue it’s the most significant motorcycle in Yamaha’s history – the initial production run of 12,000 was instantly scooped up, and competitors immediately rushed out their takes on the cheap, reliable dual-sport.
Snakebit – 1968 Suzuki Cobra
Otherwise known as the T500, the Suzuki Cobra was very short-lived. Sort of. After just one year, Ford told Suzuki that the Cobra name was already accounted for, and that they should figure out another model name for their 500cc two-stroker.
Ending Soon – Yamaha DT Collection
Here’s an instant collection of 3 Yamaha DT bikes – a 125, a 175, and a 360cc. The bikes are in varying conditions, but they all run just fine. The seller does a good job of highlighting the good aspects and known issues – check out the listing for details. Find this collection for sale in Cedar Hill, Texas with …
