5,941 Miles – 1979 Honda CBX

In Japan, Sport by AbhiLeave a Comment

Here’s a beautiful, low-mileage example of Honda’s first 6-cylinder production bike, this CBX looks basically new in Candy Glory Red.

It looked like a stretched Yamaha R1, but was powered by a turbocharged V-Twin and was complemented by Brembo brakes, BST wheels, …

1965 Ducati 250 Scrambler

In Dual-Sport, Italy by Abhi10 Comments

Here’s a lovely Ducati 250 Scrambler that had an ‘engine out’ restoration in 2013 – the engine was rebored and got a new Borgo piston. After the restoration, the bike went on two test rides and was then drained of gas and placed in the seller’s collection in 2014. It looks good, but may need a little love before it’s …
