2010 KTM Six Days 450 XC-W
This slick KTM has been converted with a removable rally setup and a whole bunch of choice modifications. The seller calls it the ‘ultimate do-it-all bike’, and it’s not hard to see why.
1971 BSA B50MX
The BSA B50 was produced in 3 different variants – the SS (Street Scrambler), T (Victor Trail), and the MX (Motocross) that you see in front of you today. Designed to compete off-road, the MX was built between ’71 and ’73, though some were also rebadged and offered as the Triumph TR5MX after BSA went out of business.
1989 Kawasaki KD80X

Highly Original – 1977 SWM RS 250 GS
Post Listing Update: This SWM did not sell at the BIN of $5,100. Possibly the best name in motorcycling history is Speedy Working Motors – and they’re back (though who knows if they’ll ever make it to the US). Until then, you can get a taste of their old enduros with this SWM RS 250 GS.

As part of Nathan and my stupid plan to tackle Baja next year, we’re trying to get experience in the dirt whenever we can. Last week we tried our first race – the Prospectors Grand Prix at Gorman. It did not go well, but more on that later when I finally catch up on that story. We’re planning on tackling …
