In 1984 Honda released two versions of the VF1000 Interceptor. Both models were very similar and based on the current Honda race bikes. The VF1000F was the more modest of the two builds, and the VF1000R was considered the fastest production motorcycle on earth. The VF1000F was only produced for one year. The VF1000F boasted a 113 HP, 998 cc …
Gravel Express – 1980 Honda GL1000 Goldwing
I didn’t really care for this bike when I saw it on BikeEXIF two months ago, but I do have a fascination with seeing what the asking prices are for custom builds that get some attention. This Goldwing was built by Roy Holtman – the man behind RH Motorcycles. It’s been given up a ground-up rebuild and turned into some …
1955 Cushman Eagle
For many of my generation, our first experience on two wheels came on something like this Cushman Eagle. They were incredibly popular right after WWII and by the time I came of age they were mostly reduced to ‘beater’ status which meant that 10 year old and a screwdriver couldn’t hurt it much. “If you can make it run, you …
1978 Yamaha SR500
Here’s a nice example of Yamaha’s classic SR500. It spent years in a collection and the seller bought it hopes that he could replicate a SR500 from his youth. After he cleaned it up, he decided it was too nice to modify, so now it’s your chance to pick up a well-preserved, original bike.
Coming Soon – 2017 Moto Guzzi MGX-21 Flying Fortress
Just when you think you might have seen everything comes this. Now available to pre order is a unique Guzzi bagger. It’s interesting, to say the very least. Details, and even photographs are a little hard to come by. We know that it is powered by the 1400cc twin that is currently lodged in the ‘California’. It is listed as …
Big Bad Harley – 1963 Harley-Davidson Topper

Cafe’d or Stock – Pick a Honda S90
Here are two examples of my beloved S90. Both have recent engine rebuilds but the owners had different ideas on cosmetics. They’re within $400 of each other – which one would you have?
Baby Dream – 1964 Honda CA95 Benly
Honda Motor Company’s first large-displacement (a relative term) motorcycles carried the Dream name, and were produced up to 305cc during the 1960s. The Dream 150 was available in the U.S market from 1960-66 and is more correctly referred to the CA95 Benly Touring or colloquially as the “Baby Dream,” a reference to its larger siblings of the time, the 250cc …
1974 Honda CL360 KO
It wasn’t much of a sales success, but Honda’s CL360 got a sixth gear in the transmission, an engine tuned for more torque, and a 30cc bump in displacement as part of an evolution from the CL350. The scrambler brother of the CB, this bike also got the high pipes, different rear fender, and braced handlebars. This example stands out …
2008 Kawasaki Concours C14 with GX Sidecar
Did Leno’s recent sidecar video inspire you to try out three wheels…but you’d rather stay on the street instead of the track? This Kawasaki Concours is probably as fast as you can get in the world of three wheeled street bikes if you want to get yourself and some extra passengers or cargo somewhere quickly!

Find it for sale here on Craigslist with a $300 discount – now it’s just $2,900 in Mandarin (Jacksonville), Florida. For the money, this might just be one of my favorite posts on Bike-urious in the …
1 of 300 – 2007 MV Agusta F4 1000 Senna
If MV’s F4 1000R wasn’t exotic enough for you already back in 2007, you could splurge (MSRP was $29,995) for one of just 300 bikes built as a tribute the legendary Ayrton Senna. 65 examples were imported into the US – here’s #21 out of 300.
1953 BMW 51/3 with Sidecar
After WWII Germany was prohibited from making motorcycles until 1948. In 1948 through 1950 BMW produced what were essentially pre war motorcycles. In 1951 they introduced the 51/3, their first entirely new bike after the war.

Beautiful Survivor – 1972 BSA B50MX
Post Sale Update – After 12 bids on eBay, this BSA sold for $7,101 on eBay. BSA made 3 different versions of the B50 – you can probably guess what the B50MX was for. It was offered starting in 1971 for off-road competition, but within a couple of years BSA was dead and some remaining stock was sold off as …
