The smallest of the Interceptors, the VF500 is claimed by some to be the best, thanks to absolutely incredible handling.
$2,000 – 2001 MZ Skorpion Sport
The MZ Skorpion was the result of an international partnership between a British design firm, an East German manufacturer (MZ), and Yamaha. Weighing just 380 pounds and packing 48 horsepower, this is a rare sportbike that has become quite the cult classic.
Non-Matching Restoration – 1949 Vincent Rapide
View Post2014 Harley-Davidson FLHTP Custom
I never thought I’d feature a basically-new Harley, but here’s a custom version of the Police model Electra-Glide that might be interesting. This bike was won during last year’s Rolling Bike Night along the shores of Lake Erie. The winner and her husband decided this wasn’t a good starter bike, so now they’re offering it up to you.
$1,999 – 1979 Suzuki GS550E
Here’s a sub $2k motorcycle that represented an important part of Suzuki’s history – it’s one of the first 4-stroke bikes from the Japanese firm. Suzuki had instant success with the GS750, but this was a very competent mid-sized motorcycle that was basically a downsized 750.

View Post1 of 500 – 1990 Yamaha FZR750R OWO1
The Yamaha FZR750R OWO1 makes even the Honda RC30 look pedestrian. With only 500 built, it was more exclusive than the RC30, and it was five grand more expensive, too. This was a homologation special so that Yamaha could race in WSBK, and was probably as close to a racebike for the street as you could get at the time.

Many moons ago, I shared a great video of Chris Pfeiffer stunt riding through/on top of the BMW office building Munich – here it is again, if you want a refresher:
$1,500 – 1992 Suzuki VX800
The Suzuki VX800 is an interesting cult bike that was discontinued in the US after 3 years after disappointing sales, though the European market saw production run from 1990-1997. A classic looking naked bike, it had comfortable steering geometry and a torquey engine that helped make this bike a fantastic all-arounder, despite its 500+ pound curb weight.

View PostNew In Box – 2006 Harley-Davidson VRXSE V-Rod Destroyer
A drag bike straight from the factory, the Harley-Davidson VRXSE was an in-house bike created by the Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) department of H-D. With a skilled rider, one could knock-out ETs between 8 and 10 seconds right off the lot. This example is still in the box – does that mean it’s only suited for a museum?
1964 Ducati Diana 250 Mark III Cafe Racer
The sport model of Ducati’s bevel-drive singles, the Ducati Diana 250 was an absolute beauty that was able to “hunt down” the competition – this was the Italian of choice for most younger riders that couldn’t afford a big bike. MSRP back in the day? $719. Here’s an example that was built for road racing a decade ago and has …
1971 Norzuki Commando
Take a Norton Commando with an updated 850 motor – then add all kinds of parts from a Suzuki, like the disc brakes, front end, and swing arm…and you’ve got this interesting hybrid. Find this Norzuki for sale here on Craigslist in Palos Park, Illinois for $4,800. This bike-uriousity brought to you by Bill K!
1971 Honda CB450 Cafe Racer
As the seller notes, there are plenty of cafe racers for sale, though most are barely modified and slightly cookie cutter. This bike was first shown at the 2009 Mods vs. Rockers show in Chicago, where it won Best Custom Cafe. It then got a full page spread in Cafe Racer Magazine and was selected to show at the 2014 …
