In Japan, Sport by AbhiLeave a Comment

In the 80s, Suzuki offered a limited run of 150 bikes as a replica of their Skoal-liveried RG500 Gamma – it was just a paint job but it looked great. That paint scheme was inspiration for this (presumably regular model) RG500 that’s been tuned and heavily modified by expert Rick Lance.

The Commander – 1968 Kawasaki W2

In Japan, Sport by AbhiLeave a Comment

A couple of weeks ago I featured a “fully restored” Commander with a couple of details that you guys didn’t care much for. Here’s an example that will probably go over a bit better thanks to the lack of pipe wrap and the factory tailight. The bigger brother of the W1 (a name which Kawasaki would eventually bring back), the …

630 Miles – 2006 Ducati Paul Smart LE

In Italy, Sport by AbhiLeave a Comment

Post Listing Update: This Paul Smart was pulled off of eBay due to “an error in the listing.” Here’s a Paul Smart with just 630 miles. It’s claimed to be 100% stock – I can’t remember the last time I saw one with the stock exhaust, which I don’t find particularly attractive. It’s spent most of its life in a …
