This listing is for a Honda, but the reason it’s for sale is to fund the repair of a Willys Jeep. It’s a two-owner bike with an asking price of $1,500 and it’s clear that the owner is someone you’d enjoy hearing stories from over a beer. Does that make the bike worth it? Who knows, but you should at …
Can It Be? 2-Mile 1981 Honda CBX
This CBX has just 1.7 miles on the odometer but the seller is new on eBay and has no feedback. With that said, the photos seem to be original so there’s a good chance that this is a legitimate listing and it’s worth getting in touch with the seller if you’ve been looking for a low mile CBX.
The Start of A Great Thing – Suzuki XR69
The Suzuki XR69 is an incredible machine with a fascinating backstory, all starting back in 1976 when Pops Yoshimura reached out to Suzuki in hopes of getting some assistance in developing his GS750-based racer. The timing couldn’t have been better as Suzuki at this point had a fairly tenuous grasp on high-performance four-stroke engines. This symbiotic agreement was also beneficial …

6 Miles – 1974 Jawa Model 362 Californian
Post Listing Update: This Californian was pulled off of eBay due to “an error in the listing.” Don’t worry, this has nothing to do with the SNL skit.

Restored and Upgraded – 1980 Honda CBX
Post Listing Update: Bidding got up to $6,501.01 but the seller then pulled this CBX off of eBay. Final sale price unknown. It wasn’t the first six-cylinder modern motorcycle (that honor goes to the Benelli Sei), but Honda’s CBX was the most popular of them. The only issue is that “popular 6-cylinder” was still a poor selling motorcycle, so it …

2-Owner Toaster – 1973 BMW R60/5
Post Listing Update: Despite 41 bids up to $10,100, this toaster did not meet reserve. Built between 1970 and 1973, BMW’s R60/5 was a tremendous step forward from the /2 generation.

Plated Enduro – 1984 Honda XR500R
1984 was the last year of the XR500R and it went out in style with a victory at the Baja 1000. The following year, Honda would bump up displacement to create the XR600. This example stands out as it is plated, it has just 850 miles, and it looks great.
