Introduced in 1983, the RG-Gamma series spanned displacements between 250 and 500cc – but the cream of the crop was the Suzuki RG400 Gamma Walter Wolf – a bike made for just two years and only sold in Suzuki’s home market of Japan. None of them were officially exported. A replica of the race bike, it was full of the …
Start Saving Up – 1975 Supercharged Honda GL1000
About a month ago, I featured a supercharged Honda CBX that had been built by Randakk’s Cycle Shakk.

This Supercharged Honda GL1000 can be yours starting June 1st – so start saving up.
1 Owner – 1990 BMW R100GSPD
The BMW R100GSPD (PD stands for Paris-Dakar) is my favorite of the dual-sporting BMW’s. This specific example (ignoring the seat which I could do without) is one of the best I’ve seen, thanks to the history provided by the original owner. Go directly to his own page on this bike and tell me that you’re not inspired!
1976 Kawasaki KV75
In the world of minibikes, the Honda Z50 has pretty much reigned supreme. But if you’re looking for something a little bit different, this Kawasaki KV75 might be just the ticket. Thanks to the slightly larger engine and three-speed transmission, you’ll be able to hit about 40 mph on this very original example. The only known problem is that the …

Suzuki TL1000S Street Tracker
J&M Racing Products have made a name for themselves by building Flat Tracker frames for a wide variety of motorcycles – some you’d expect, some you might not. This Suzuki TL1000S Street Tracker falls in the latter category for me, but it must be a tremendous amount of fun. This absurd bike just looks like it’s all motor, thanks to …
Wedge Tank – 1927 BSA S27
In the late 20’s, Britain’s motorcycle industry was rapidly expanding. This was partly due to price cutting started by Triumph’s Model P, which sold for less than 43 pounds in 1925. The BSA S27 was built to help compete at low prices, thanks to a MSRP of 45 pounds. However, the fact that they were ‘basic’ means that many were …
450 Miles – 1972 Rickman Zundapp 125
Established in 1960, Rickman motorcycles initially supplied frame kits built for many British bikes, as companies would not sell engines to them. At the start of the 70s, Rickman got access to engines from all around the world, and started exporting several small-displacement motocross bikes, many to the United States. Ranging from 100cc to 250cc in displacement, today we look …
1971 Suzuki T500 Cafe Racer
One of the all time greats in classic Japanese motorcycle history, the Suzuki T500 Cafe Racer showed the world that a big displacement 2-stroker didn’t have to overheat. It was considered one of the most reliable motorcycles built in the 60s, but it always took a back seat to Honda’s CB450.

Electric Wonder – 1973 Auranthetic Charger
Long before Zero and Brammo, there were very few options for an electric motorcycle. The Auranthetic Charger was a small electric bike (though not, as I originally guessed from the photos, a minibike) built in the 70s in sunny California. Using a 1 horsepower, 24 volt DC motor, this 200-pound bike was able to hit 25-30 miles per hour, with …
