The Honda Transalp is a rare bike, as it was only sold in the US between ’89 and ’91. It’s even rarer to see a frame-up restoration of one – but here’s your chance to get one that’s been restored to a fantastic condition.
Rally Raid – 2002 Aprilia Caponord
Did you know (I sure as hell didn’t) that in 2003, Aprilia released a limited edition of its Caponord dual-sport called the Rally Raid, which was a surprisingly different bike. Between 350-380 were sold – none in the US, so the seller of this bike took it upon himself to acquire Rally Raid specific parts and modify his US model …
1987 Honda TR200 Fat Cat
Sold for just two years, the Honda TR200 (better known as the Fat Cat) was similar to the more popular Yamaha TW200. With a 199cc four-stroke engine putting power through a five speed transmission and an automatic clutch, this bike was unique due to its use of two ATV-style tires.
1971 Honda SL350
For reasons unknown, I’ve been on a little bit of a small Honda off-road kick recently. It continues with this beautifully restored Honda SL350.

1967 Honda CL77 Scrambler
The Honda CL77 Scrambler was, in a way, the off-road brother of the venerable Super Hawk. Any Honda CL denotes a scrambler, and this was one of the best – in 1968, the Baja 1000 was won on a CL77.
1974 Rokon RT340
Post-Sale Update: After 15 bids on eBay, this Rokon RT340 sold for $2,449. The Rokon RT340 was a rare ‘one-wheel’ drive bike featuring an automatic transmission from the company best known for making the go-anywhere Trailbreaker. Because of the transmission, you might suspect it was geared (no pun intended) towards beginners who wanted to learn in the dirt without worrying …
Two Harley Dual Sports
Here’s a couple of oddballs for you: two Harley-powered dual-sports. The first is based on a ’93 Sportster 1200. Modifications include cartridge style forks, custom skid plate, MX bars and pegs, conversion to chain drive, a swignarm modified for the shocks, and plenty of Screamin’ Eagle engine upgrades. Find this Sportster converted to a dual-sport for sale here on Craigslist …
16k Miles – 1989 BMW R100 GS
The BMW R100 GS was the bike that broke open the mold for BMW. While the R80GS was the first of this new category of bikes, the R100 updated everything and sold over 34,000 units. The best way to sum up this bike would probably be in the words of my mechanic, who calls it a “pavement-indifferent” touring bike.
Reader Ride – 1973 Honda CL350 Flying Dragon
Post-Listing Update: Despite the outcome on the listing, I’m told this Honda CL350 Flying Dragon sold for $3,800 on eBay. A little known tidbit of Honda history is in ’72 and ’73, you could order an incredible set of alternate bodywork for CL350 or CL450 models – an idea that came from Honda’s paint department because they figured these crazy …
1 of 125 – 1961 Matchless G80TCS Typhoon
After years of success with the G80, Matchless offered a “Competition Suspension” variant called the G80CS to answer demands for more power, aimed towards US riders who were looking for a desert racer. But for three years (’59-’61), Matchless released an even better version – the Matchless G80TCS Typhoon. Just 125 were built, and most were exported to the US. …

700 Miles – 1974 Honda CL360
Post Sale Update: After 16 bids on eBay, this CL sold for US $4,599. The successor to last week’s Honda CL350, this immaculate Honda CL360 has just 700 miles and is waiting for a new owner after spending most of its life in a collection.
1972 Honda CL350 K4 Scrambler
The scrambler variant of Honda’s best-selling motorcycle (at least as of 2003), the Honda CL350 differed from its’ street-based brother as it gained the high scrambler pipes and a 19-inch front wheel. This particular example is a beautiful low mileage example adorned in Candy Panther Gold (what a name) paint.
1969 Ducati Scrambler 350
In the 60s, American importer Joe Berliner was bringing in so many Ducatis that he had the ear of the corporate office. So when he started asking for a do-it-all bike aimed towards younger riders, the Italian firm obliged him with the Scrambler, a dual-sport based off the road-based Diana which Berliner had converted for dirt track competitions in the …
