1972 Suzuki T250 Hustler
In 1969, Suzuki unveiled the successor to their popular Super Six T20 – the T250 Hustler. It took all the good parts of the T20 and added sleek styling in addition to an upgraded motor. The original was more newsworthy, but the T250 was arguably a better bike.
1974 Honda XL350
Post Sale Update: After 7 bids on eBay, this XL350 sold for $2,250. The specificity and history of the enduro/off-road motorcycle market is quite different from the road bike market. It starts the same, with essentially British brands that dominated the scene in the 1950s with four-stroke 350s and 500s. Then the Spanish arrived with brands like Ossa and Bultaco …
Well Modified – 2018 Husqvarna 701 Supermoto
If you’ve never had the chance to ride a supermoto, you are seriously missing out. OEMs don’t help much in this case – there are very few factory supermotos available off the dealership floor.

What Do You Want To Know? 2019 Honda CB300R
View PostJeff Fredette ISDE Racer – 2004 Kawasaki KDX220
There’s no better authority on the Kawasaki KDX than Jeff Fredette. The AMA Hall of Famer (and ’93 AMA Sportsman of the Year) is responsible for a ridiculous number ISDT/ISDE wins and podiums — the vast majority of which were achieved aboard KDXs. In his decades of experience, Fredette became extremely well acquainted with the KDX, modifying and developing the …
1974 Kawasaki Z1
Post Listing Update: This Z1 did not meet reserve despite 11 bids up to $8,003. Just like Honda has its CB750, BMW has its GS, and Suzuki has its GSX-R, Kawasaki has the Z1.

1997 Bimota YB11
Post Listing Update: This YB11 did not get any interest at the BIN of $6,799. Everyone has their own idea of what the perfect modifications to make to their machine are.

1931 Sunbeam Lion with Watsonian Sidecar
Sunbeam developed their first OHV motors in the mid 20s, and their 492cc “Longstroke” motor was particularly successful in racing and street trims. The street bike took its name from the motor, and it was known as the Model 6 Longstroke until the early 30s, when the bike was refreshed and renamed to the Lion.
British Factory Custom – 1983 Triumph TSX 750
By the dawn of the 1980s, Triumph was struggling to survive. New offerings from Japan left the once mighty Bonneville looking increasingly long in the tooth, and with the British marque’s bank accounts and credit lines rapidly diminishing, the company was on its last leg. A last ditch effort was taken to spruce up the Bonnie, but with limited resources …
Street Fighter – 1988 Yamaha TZR250
Post Sale Update: This TZR sold for $3,500 after 24 bids on eBay. In the seller’s words, this represents a “cross between the 80’s/90’s 2 stroke street sportbike and the more modern FZ 07/09…raw, loud, upright and brilliantly bright in classic Yamaha colors.” It’s being offered with no reserve – what do you think about it?
Rare 4-Speed With Clutch – 1971 Honda CT70 HKO
Post Listing Update: This CT did not meet reserve despite 19 bids up to $4,300 on eBay. Thanks to the success of the Z50 “Monkey”, especially in Europe and the US, Honda knew there would be room to create another mini-bike with a slightly larger engine. Keeping the simple and positively childish concept for their new creation, Honda built the …
