Post Sale Update: This Hawk sold for $3,050 after 4 bids on eBay. In the late 80s, Honda introduced one of the first modern production naked motorcycles. Though the Honda NT650 (also known as the Hawk) was not a commercial success, it went on to inspire more prevalent motorcycles like the Suzuki SV650N, and has become an absolute cult favorite.
1983 BMW R80ST
The street based brother of the R80G/S, the BMW R80ST did not sell particularly well – only 5,963 were built over two years. But it’s become a bit of a cult classic, and plenty of owners feel that this was the best handling motorcycle BMW had made up to that point.
1989 Yamaha YSR50
Here’s a YSR50 in incredible collection in a not-very-common blue and yellow paint scheme. It comes with a Team Calamari exhaust but the stock pipe is also included. Find this YSR for sale here on Craigslist in Kimberly, Wisconsin for $2,100. This bike-uriousity brought to you by Zack B!
1939 Brough Superior SS80
Post Listing Update: Despite 53 bids up to $70,101, this SS80 did not meet reserve. The Brough Superior SS80 is a legendary motorcycle, called “The Rolls-Royce of Motor Cycles” by The Motor Cycle magazine. 10 months ago, this example (from the last year of production) was purchased at a Bonhams auction for $56,042 as part of an estate sale – …
1966 Ducati Sebring 350
When it was introduced in 1966, the Sebring 350 was the biggest bike Ducati sold to the public. This bike was named after Franco Farne’s class win at a race at Sebring International Raceway.
1954 NSU Max with Steib LS200 Sidecar
After World War II, NSU found themselves with factories that had been destroyed. But they were able to persevere and in 1952 they released the Max, one of the most popular quarter-liter bikes of the 50s – 97,120 bikes were sold.
Not For Everyone – Buell XB9 Rat Bike
The seller freely admits that this bike is not for everyone, but it sure is…interesting. Originally a Buell XB9, this has had some custom work to look something like a Mad Max bike with a twisted girder front end, cheese grater exhaust, and plenty of copper sheet metal. Buying it is one thing, but would you ride it?
1988 Honda NX125
One of the best beginner dual sports ever, the Honda NX125 was only imported to the US for a few years. This was the baby of the NX line, and while I’ve recently featured one of these, I couldn’t pass up on how cherry this one looks.
1 Owner – 1997 Suzuki RF900R
With an engine derived from the GSXR 1100, the Suzuki RF900R was designed as a entry-level bike in the sport-touring market, undercutting the competition by about $1,500. Despite the pricing, you still got a solid sport-tourer with some of the weirdest fairing designs I’ve ever seen. I’m not alone in that regard – many people didn’t like the looks that …
1990 Honda CBR600F
Also known as the Hurricane, the Honda CBR600F was one of Honda’s first fully-faired inline four sport bikes. I love how delightfully 80s the paint scheme looks, and here’s an example with just 12,005 miles on it. It looks like it’s got a Cobra F1R exhaust as well.
1976 Honda CB550
Post-Sale Update: After 16 bids on eBay, this CB550 sold for $3,200. Here’s a well-preserved example of the CB550 in a color (Candy Brown) that’s just too 70s for me. Still, it has 18,889 miles and the condition of this unrestored bike looks great.
One Owner – 1973 Harley-Davidson Z90
The Z90 has only had one owner for the last 42 years and the only thing wrong with it is that the rear brake does not light up the brake light. The sale comes with both sets of original keys as well as all documentation related to purchase and delivery. The seller says the bike has “never been worked on”, …
CVT Equipped – 2009 Honda DN-01
The Honda DN-01 was, depending on who you ask, a cruiser motorcycle, a scooter, the greatest revolution to the motorcycling industry since the Honda Cub, or a waste of time. Very unique, and very controversial, it only sold in the United States for two years, as it was a commercial failure. The issue, in my eyes, is that this wasn’t …
1,432 Miles – 1972 Honda SL125
The Honda SL125 was a lightweight (209 pounds) enduro with a 122cc OHC 4-stroke engine that put out 12 horsepower at 9,000 rpm. This specific example is in fantastic condition for a 43 year old bike. It’s claimed to be fully street functional and even comes with the original tool kit. As you’d expect, it has original paint and nice …
1966 Suzuki T20 Production Racer Replica
Built as a replica of the gorgeous Suzuki Isle of Man TT racers ridden by pilots like Danny Shimmin, this Suzuki T20 (also known as the Super Six) is a rare find.
