Let’s complement the yellow-and-pink livery of today’s Vance & Hines memorabilia listing with some yellow-and-purple from Honda!
No Reserve – Vance & Hines Yamaha Team Memorabilia
Over on the auction site we’ve got a fun collection of goodies for Vance & Hines road racing fans – a front fairing from Colin Edwards’ bike, pit board used to guid Thomas Stevens, and a branded duffel bag. I’m hoping it goes to someone who owns one of the limited-production V&H Yamaha FZR600 Replicas!
Mick Doohan’s Pit Bike In England – 1995 Honda SJ50 Bali
Honda’s SJ50 Bali was a little two-stroke single that was primarily designed for the European market. Normally these wouldn’t really merit a second look…but this one used to be Mick Doohan’s pit bike in GP racing!
2021 MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RR
MV Agusta calls their Brutale the “king of hypernaked bikes thanks to the absolute quality of the components, the advanced engine and benchmark electronics.” MCN called it “the best MV have produced in a very long time,” adding that “underneath its layers of shiny paint and away from its designer labels, decadent styling and fancy electronics it’s a well-sorted, involving, …
1996 KTM 550 MXC
1996 is right about when the big bore two-stroke dirt bike was dying off, which makes this KTM 550 a rare and nostalgic find.
Blue Collar Bobbers Kit – 2004 Kawasaki Ninja 250
Based out of Sandy, Utah, Blue Collar Bobbers produces bolt on kits to give people an easy way to customize their bike “into an old school, nostalgic hot rod.” Here’s a Kawasaki Ninja 250 that’s equipped with the BCB Cafe Racer kit (no longer available new).
Spondon Frame – 1979 Honda CBX Custom
The paint job on the tank tells you what you need to know – this interesting custom pairs a British frame with a Japanese engine…plus a whole bunch of other goodies!
Two Stroke Turbo – 1990 Yamaha RZ350 Land Speed Project
If you’re looking for an intriguing winter project, there’s a Canadian-spec RZ350 in Utah with a turbocharger on it that needs some TLC…
1989 Yamaha XTZ600 Tenere
11-7-25 Update: One year later and this bike is still for sale though the price has dropped a bit. You can now find it with a BIN of $5,500 or best offer and a slight location adjustment to Okeechobee, Florida here on eBay. Just look at the paint scheme on this thing. It makes you want to cut the sleeves …
Cheaper By The Day – 1987 Cagiva Elefant 650
The Cagiva Elefant is an interesting odd-ball – an Italian dual-sport with the heart of a Ducati. Available with a 900cc or 650cc engine, this is definitely the most unique option compared to the KLR, DRZ, and XL/XR options available from Japan. The seller of this example is ensuring that it will sell as he’s going to knock off $100/day …
Pichler Fairing – 1981 BMW R65
The R65 has been one of the less popular Beemers over the last few decades, and I couldn’t really tell you why. Is it the relative lack of power compared to the rest of the BMW family? If having “just” 50 horsepower isn’t a problem for you, this could be a fun runabout for some lightweight touring as it’s equipped …
267 Miles – 1983 Honda VF750F Interceptor
Over on the auction site we’ve got one of the lowest-mile VF750Fs you’ll ever see. Bonus points because it’s a UK import so it’s got a livery that was never offered in the US, either!
2024 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT+
A couple of years ago, I had the pleasure of attending the press launch for Yamaha’s newest generation of the Tracer. The big news was the addition of radar, which allowed for adaptive cruise control and assisted braking. It came with a $1,600 price bump (up to $16,499), and in my conclusion I felt like the radar wasn’t worth the …
VIN #1 – 2000 Aprilia Pegaso 650 Cube
The Aprilia Pegaso was an excellent dual sport that suffered the same fate as most Aprilias in the 90s/00s – it was poorly marketed and under appreciated, though it was a great bike. Aprilia developed this bike in tandem with BMW, so the latter’s F650 is mechanically almost identical. Aprilia added a few extras that the BMW did not receive, …
Still New – 2025 Husqvarna FE 450 Heritage Edition
For 2025, Husqvarna announced a limited-edition line of what they called their Heritage models – a special livery offered on all ten models (four MX, six enduro) with blue radiator shrouds, a matching seat, and a colorway that pays homage to what you’d see on Husky race bikes from the 1980s. Here’s a still new example with tons of extras …
