Sold in the US for three years, the Honda VTR250 has become a cult classic for riders that love small bikes. The liquid cooled 250cc engine was paired with a six-speed transmission, and interestingly, an inboard front disc – though by 1990 the front brake would change to the industry standard. Someone in Wisconsin is selling a pair of them …
Olle Pettersson Tribute – 1970 Suzuki TS90MX
Bike-urious reader Victor M. is selling a nifty Olle Pettersson tribute bike that he rebuilt from the ground up, and the final product is fantastic when you see what he started with!
Nice Price – 1999 BMW R1100S
In 1999, BMW took the most powerful boxer engine it had at the time and made their most aggressive looking bike so far, the BMW R1100S. Over time the used market has considered it more of a sport-tourer than a sport bike (especially thanks to features like optional bags that were the same as what you got on the GS), …
Picture Intermission – Ducati Superleggera V4
While I was at the Volant Vivere track day at Laguna Seca (separate Picture Intermission coming soon for that), I was entranced by a Ducati Superleggera V4 that someone was planning on riding. I didn’t want to include a ton of photos in the separate post so I’m splitting them up for you to admire with me. Come enjoy!
1975 Suzuki GT750
Affectionately known as the Water Buffalo, the GT750 was introduced as competition to big bikes of the day like the Honda CB750 and Triumph Bonneville. For many American riders, this was the first Suzuki that captured their attention.
1986 Suzuki RG250 Walter Wolf
The Suzuki RG250 Gamma was introduced in 1983 as the first mass-produced motorcycle with a 100% aluminium box section chassis. This, combined with the light weight of <300 pounds, anti-dive forks, and “Full Floater” rear suspension, is why it is considered by some to be the first street-legal race replica. Things got even better in 1986 when Suzuki rolled out …
1910 Harley-Davidson Model 6A
In 1910, Harley-Davidson was still only making single-cylinder powered motorcycles. That year, they built 3,168 example – 334 of which were top-of-the-line as they were equipped with a magneto (a $40 option on a $210 bike). One of those 334 has survived 115 years until today, and according to the seller it’s the “only known complete original magneto-ignition 1910 in …

Whitehouse Kit – 2014 Honda CB1100
In 2014, Honda updated the CB1100 with a new dash and a six-speed transmission. The styling remained the same – bodywork that was designed to evoke the classic lines of the CB750. But a company in Japan called Whitehouse enabled owners to make their bikes look even more like the CB750 with a bodywork kit that included the tank, fenders, …
152 Miles – 1979 Yamaha RD400F Daytona Special
The last in the long line of Yamaha’s RD series, the RD400F (also known as the Daytona Special) is considered by many to be the best of the breed.
10 Miles – 2005 Ducati 999
After a long series of 916-based superbikes, Ducati dramatically mixed things up styling-wise with the vertically-stacked lights and double-sided swingarm of the 999 in 2003.
New in Crate – 1977 Triumph Bonneville Silver Jubilee
To celebrate the 25th year of Queen Elizabeth’s reign, Triumph built a limited edition of 2,400 Bonnevilles with silver/red/blue paint, a blue seat with red piping, some chrome, and decals on the sidecovers. Of the 2,400 bikes, 1,000 went to the US, 1,000 stayed home in the UK, and the rest were built for Commonwealth export.
<1 Mile - 1999 Kawasaki ZRX1100
I love Kawasaki’s ZRX and its blend of ’70s UJM and ’80s Superbike tenets that somehow combined comfortable riding ergonomics, liter-bike performance, Eddie Lawson-inspired styling, and a relatively cheap MSRP. I think it’s one of a few “special” motorcycles that can be ridden regularly. In fact, one of our technicians at Iconic exclusively commutes on ZRX1200s – he generally buys …
Murayama Special – 1992 Ducati Paso 750 in Japan
I’ve never cared for the styling of the Ducati Paso and I don’t think what I’m showing you today is any better…but it’s definitely interesting enough that I had to share it!
