Available only between 1971-1974, the Benelli 175 Enduro was a well-built dual-sport with plenty of chrome.
1983 Suzuki GS1150ES
The Suzuki GS1150ES was one of the last big standards, a line that started with the Honda CB750. This bike was rare even when new, so I’m glad to share a pretty solid example of what is now a 32 year old motorcycle.
Fizzy Days – 1973 Yamaha FS1
The Yamaha FS1 was a tiny motorcycle that had tremendous success in Europe. The 50cc two-stroke produced 4.8 horsepower, enough to get the bike up to about 45 miles per hour. It was a first motorcycle for many. For more on why it’s a “Memorable Motorcycle”, check out this article from Motorcycle USA.
Sandcast – 1969 Honda CB750
#6,655 of the 7,414 original sandcast CB750s, this bike has just 14,530 miles and looks great thanks to a NOS tank (which has never had fuel in it) and NOS side covers. The only Sandcast bike features this one is missing are the recessed ignition and the ‘rolled rim’ rear wheel. It’s a good-looking Honda.
1953 Simplex Servi-Cycle
Originally founded in the late 20s with an initial investment of $25, Simplex Manufacturing Corporation was created by Paul Treen, a former dealer of Harley-Davidson who suggested that they start building a small bike for young riders, presumably to get them hooked on Harleys at a young age. Milwaukee said no, so Treen decided to do it himself. The Simplex …
1972 Triumph Scrambler Custom
This Triumph Scrambler custom is the work of Liberty Vintage Motorcycles, featured on the Discovery TV show Philly Throttle.
Nice Price – 1988 Honda NX125
The Honda NX125 was the smallest of the NX’s, which were only imported for a few years. The combination of XR-roots with a slightly more street friendly composition made it an excellent all-rounder. Offered in the states in 125, 250, and 650cc versions, the NX650 was by far the most popular in the US. Here’s an example that can be …
9,740 Miles – 1982 Honda CBX
The Honda CBX only lasted five years, but it led to a new wave of sports-oriented motorcycles, and eventually to the Honda ST series. A 6.1 gallon tank was necessary as the 6 individual carbs and monster power led to just low 20’s miles per gallon. Want to learn more? Check out Motorcycle Classic’s writeup of this legendary bike here. …
1989 Yamaha DT125R
An evolution of the DT125, the Yamaha DT125R was sold until 2008 and was very popular as a entry level enduro in Europe. With that said, these are exceedingly rare in the US, so here’s your chance to pick one up that will need a service before you take it to tear up some trails.
2007 Ducati GT1000 SportClassic
An instant classic, the Ducati GT1000 matches an excellent 992cc 2V engine with retro styling. Here’s an example in the rare Black and Cream paint scheme with just under 2,000 miles on the odometer.
1984 BMW R100CS Last Edition
Yesterday’s Last Edition got a tremendous amount of attention, so I figured I’d share another one with you (this one’s cheaper but has a lot more miles), courtesy of reader Jim R. This unit has 74,805 miles on the odometer, but has several upgrades like new crash bars, a Brown side stand, 450W charging system, Hella driving lights, panniers, San …
Heavily Modified – 2007 BMW F800S
The BMW F800S was a very brief member of the BMW Motorrad lineup in the United States. Only sold from 2006-2007, the F800S had a short run (though the ST continues on today as the F800GT). An upright parallel-twin developed by Rotax provided around 85 horsepower and earlier than expected torque, but the 360-degree firing order of the cylinders made …
Flat-Track Racer – 1971 Norton Commando
Built with a NOS Trackmaster frame, this Norton Commando has been turned into a flat-tracker that’s competed in some amateur races. In addition to the 750cc Commando motor, this bike features Betor forks, Megacycle cams, Superblend bearings, Nissin brakes, Progressive shocks, Borrani wheels, and more. Find this Commando flat-tracker for sale in Kansas for $7,000 here on ADVRider (registration required).
1949 Harley-Davidson WL45
With the current owner since 1952, this Harley-Davidson WL45 has a great patina thanks to extended storage in a barn, assuming you believe the ‘barn find’ story, especially considering it’s been with the same owner for so long. Still, the bike has recently had a complete tune-up including the installation of a new wiring harness and battery. It’s claimed to …
5,440 Miles – 1984 BMW R100CS Last Edition
Post Listing Update: This CS was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown. Here’s a bike that pissed off a few BMW enthusiasts back in day – the BMW R100CS Last Edition. You should probably be asking why it pissed riders off. It wasn’t the bike itself, it’s how BMW decided to market it.
