Wes Cooley Rep- 1979 Suzuki GS1000S
Post Listing Update: Bidding got up to $8,701 but this bike was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown.

Post-Listing Update: This ‘museum quality’ (despite the backwards tank badges) S90 did not meet reserve with bidding up to $3,152 on eBay.

1990 Yamaha TZR250SP
Post-Sale Update: This Yamaha TZR250SP sold for $7,700 after 37 bids on eBay. Some would say the 3MA version of Yamaha TZR250SP was a full-on racer that came with lights.

Reader Ride – 1985 Honda VF1000R with sidecar
I’m disappointed to see such an unique rig go up for sale, but hopefully it finds a new owner within the Bike-urious ranks. Reader Mike B. has let me know that he has to let his Honda VF1000R with Motorvation sidecar go, and this thing is too cool not to share.

1990 Honda Caren
It’s hard to tell, but there’s actually a scooter in there. A scooter you might recognize as the Honda Express, with a 50cc engine putting down all of 3.8 horsepower.

1983 Egli Red Baron
Honda made quite the splash back when it introduced the CBX to the world. The six-cylinder engine was clearly the star of the show, though some people felt the frame/handling wasn’t up to the task.
1972 Honda CL350 K4 Scrambler
The scrambler variant of Honda’s best-selling motorcycle (at least as of 2003), the Honda CL350 differed from its’ street-based brother as it gained the high scrambler pipes and a 19-inch front wheel. This particular example is a beautiful low mileage example adorned in Candy Panther Gold (what a name) paint.
