Street Legal – 2007 Husqvarna SMR450 with CR500 Motor
5 years ago, I saw one of my favorite posts of all time on BikeEXIF – a crazy person had stuffed a CR500 motor into a Husqvarna supermoto to create a “Husqvonda.” It was a street-legal monster that was said to put down “80-85 horsepower to the rear wheel.” The bike isn’t in show condition any more, but it’s still …
Count ‘Em – 40 Honda CB160s
Someone in Minnesota has “about 40” Honda CB160s for sale. Not enough? How about “about 10” Benly 150s, a couple of CL160s, and a CA160 for good measure?

Rare German – 1982 BMW Krauser MKM 1000

Heavily Customized – 2014 Honda Grom
It’s not often that you see small displacement bikes like the Honda Grom undergo such extreme and extensive customization but that’s exactly what this seller has done.

Honda’s VFR lineup has typically enjoyed a reputation of being good sport-touring bikes for those who want to cover lots of miles in a day but do it with a some agility.

Built by the Saginaw Products Corporation, the Powerbike was a conversion kit that you could slap onto any pedal-driven bicycle. All you had to do was remove the bicycle’s rear wheel, bolt on the Powerbike, and then hook up a fuel tank, fuel lines, and the throttle cable. They were successful enough that Sears started to offer pre-converted Powerbikes. The …
Street Legal Road Racer – 2007 Aprilia SXV550
Aprilia’s SXV550 was an absolute monster that journalists fell in love with as soon as it was released.

Unfortunately, the early bikes had serious issues with the sealant used …

SMR stands for Super Moto Race, which should tell you everything you need to know about this bike. Though it was street legal from the dealership, this bike would be wasted on most public roads.
