Ending soon on Iconic is a beautiful (and street-legal) tribute to the bike that Gene Romero raced at Daytona.
Moto-X Fox Replica – 1976 Suzuki RM370A
Per the seller, this gorgeous bike is “built to replicate what the Moto-X Fox team used on their team bikes, using the aftermarket parts sold out of the Moto-X Fox catalog.”
Pierobon Super Twin (Ducati 1100) Racebike
Thanks to a Pierobon 1098 WSBK frame, Hypermotard 1100 engine, and top notch components, this is one of the most incredible twin-cylinder race bikes I’ve seen in a long time – with a $35,000 price tag to match!
Signed By Schwantz – 2018 Suzuki GSX-R1000R
At the 2022 Vintage Motorcycle Days in Ohio, the AMA Heritage Foundation showed off a ’18 GSX-R1000 created by Suzuki and painted in a tribute to his iconic ’80s Pepsi Racing livery. Schwantz himself was the Grand Marshall of the event – he did a parade lap on it and signed the top of the tank. A year later, the …
In Crate – 2002 Kawasaki KX250
The Kawasaki KX250 still exists today (and the KX lineup celebrates its 50th anniversary this year), though the current model name is the KX250F because it’s now a four-stroke. But from 1974-2007, the KX250 was a successful two-stroke MX bike that won several AMA Championships over time – especially with Jeff Emig and Ricky Carmichael in recent years.
2007 KTM 660 Rally Factory Replica
For KTM fans, the letters RFR are something special. They stand for Rally Factory Replica, and they designate bikes that compete in legendary races all around the world. This specific one completed the ’07 Dakar Rally (the last one held in Africa)!
Still New – 2006 Bimota SB8K Santamonica
I think you all know by now that I’m a huge Bimota fan (at least in terms of what the company was before they got bought by Kawasaki). My personal Tesi 3D is one of my favorites from their portfolio, as is the SB8K Santamonica – which is probably the ultimate form of a Suzuki TL1000R. Here’s an example that’s …
No Reserve – 1994 Kawasaki ZXR400
The liveries of the 90s are some of my favorites, and I think the black/purple/pink paint jobs that Kawasaki and Suzuki offered are absolutely fantastic – but they weren’t offered in the US! Over at Iconic we have a rare-in-the-US example of the ZXR400 rocking a delightfully 90s paintjob.
GG Retrofitz Kit – 2015 Yamaha R3
Over at Iconic we have an interesting take on Yamaha’s entry-level (at least in the US) sportbike, the R3. I actually bought this because Iconic is starting a rental fleet at our new location in Rhode Island but it turns out that the tail section has made it too small for Adam and I to comfortably fit on even when …
10 Miles – 1999 Harley-Davidson MT500
One of the rarest bikes ever built by Harley-Davidson, the MT500 was originally built by the British in the 80s. Rights to the design were sold by Armstrong-CCM to HD, who sold just 355 copies of the MT500 in 1999, and a few more the following year. Only select HD dealerships were allowed to sell these bikes.
1973 Honda CL450 Scrambler
The dual-sport cousin of the Black Bomber, Honda’s CL450 was the best selling of the scramblers of the day. Because of this, you can find one with relative ease even though they haven’t been made in 40+ years…unless it’s a highly original example with just 2,642 miles on it!
Evans Brasfield’s Kawasaki KLX300 and KTM 790 Duke
View Post2000 Ducati 748R
In 2000, Ducati updated the 748 lineup to offer three variants – the base model, the S, and the R. The R was produced for WSS homologation purposes (750cc V-Twins competed against 600cc inline-4s). Only 2,610 R models were built, 185 of which came to the US.
1957 Zundapp Bella R203
Zundapp was able to sell about 130,000 examples of the Bella scooter between 1953 and 1964. Engine options were a 150 (146) or 200 (198) – here’s an example of the latter.
1974 Norton Commando John Player Special
1-21-24 Update: Two years later, this bike is still up for sale and the asking price has dropped by $10k – find it in Greenwich, Connecticut with a BIN of $19,950 or best offer here on eBay. One of the most collectible Commandos was the John Player, a distinctive endurance-inspired Norton with unique bodywork surrounding a completely stock Mark 2A …
