Post Listing Update: This RS125R was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown. There are very few bikes that get riders riled up like Honda’s RS125R. If you’re just looking at displacement, you might struggle to understand why that is. But the many fans of the little racebike tell a story of momentum, agility, and absurd levels of excitement. …
Ready for Baja – 2006 Honda CRF450X
Looks like somebody went nuts with the JCR Speed Shop catalog, leading to a bike that can conquer pretty much any race you’d ever want to tackle in the United States. Oh, and it’s street legal.
Price Unknown – Veteran Salt Flat Racer with 4 Harley Engines
I really try to avoid featuring bikes that don’t have for sale prices clearly listed, but I had to make an exception for this fantastically cool land speed racer.
Ex-Doug Henry Racer – Yamaha YZ450F Supermoto
According to the seller, this is the bike that Doug Henry campaigned in the AMA Supermoto Championship seasons of 2005 and 2006 (he placed 2nd in 2006). I’d want to see some proof of that, but the photos show a serious level of kit.
Vintage Racer – 1974 Kawasaki H2 Mach IV 750
Post Listing Update: This Kawi was pulled off of eBay because it was “lost or broken.” Bah. This H2 was built up as a hot street bike in the past, however 6-7 years ago it was decommissioned and put on display. The seller was planning on modifying the bodywork and putting it back on the street, but he’s got too …
Non-Competitive – 1963 Parilla 250 High Cam Racer
Moto Parilla was best known in the US for their “high cam” motor. The 250cc version made it into a variety of motorcycles, including the base of what became this lovely racer build. It was built to compete at the AMA Vintage Days in 2015 but it was sidelined by an oil leak. The leak has since been fixed but …
Incomplete – 1933/4 Comerford-Special JAP Speedway Racer
Post Sale Update: This Comerford Special sold for $5,799 after 25 bids on eBay. This vintage speedway racer is missing a whole lot of parts and I suspect it’s probably doomed to spend the rest of its life as a display piece, but just look at it! Here’s a textbook example of classic cool, even if the engine is missing …
Dustbin Fairing – 1956 Moto Guzzi 175 Corsa
A couple of weeks ago, I featured a seller that was selling off a collection of over 40 bikes. The prices were quite high so barely anything has sold, but I have to make special mention of this Moto Guzzi because I’m a huge sucker for dustbin fairings.
Please Be Real – 1962 Honda CB72 Yoshimura Endurance Racer
Post Sale Update: After 23 bids on eBay, this incredible Honda sold for $8,800 on eBay…to a Bike-urious reader! Well, this is quite a listing – and it ends soon, so hurry up! According to the seller, in the inaugural Suzuka 18 hour race of 1964, Hideo “Pops” Yoshimura campaigned two motorcycles: a Honda 305 that won the race, and …
Classic Flat Tracker – 1946 Triumph Tiger 100
This Triumph flat tracker was campaigned in Southern California in the 50s by the seller’s father. Unfortunately, it has sat since 2001 and is worse for wear – do you think it’s worth saving?
Vintage Flat Tracker – 1928 Harley-Davidson JD Twin Cam
Homer Knapp was a legendary gearhead who founded Hollywood Motorcycle Machine back in 1966. Unfortunately, he passed away late last year, and his bikes have been moving on to their next owners thanks to Classic Motorcycle Consignments – hopefully you’ve seen their ad on the sidebar as they’re a Bike-urious sponsor. Of Homer’s extensive motorcycle collection, one of the most …
1968 Hodaka Ace 100 MX Custom
A company named PABATCO (Pacific Basin Trading Company) based out of Athena, Oregon negotiated with Hodaka Motorcycles of Japan to produce and market a series of dirt specific bikes in the early 1960’s. Wildly successful from the start, for about 10 years they were THE most successful American dealer. I just happen to know that you could go to Athena …
40+ Bike Collection
In Addison, Texas, a seller has come into possession of 40+ excellent motorcycles that were formerly “owned by a champion racer that has passed away recently.” Not all of them are on eBay yet, but this is a seller you’re going to want to keep tabs on for the next few weeks.
In Holland – 1987 BMW R100RS Racer
Here’s an exquisite racer from Uli Volkl based on a BMW R100RS. It packs a visual punch thanks to the fairing reminisicent of a Ducati 750SS and Fallert aluminum tank, as well as an actual punch thanks to 40mm Dell’Orto carbs, K&N air filter, and the hard-to-find Krauser cylinder heads.
Turbo Project – 1974 Honda CB750
Here’s a former drag bike that has been out of the limelight for a while. It’s packing several period speed parts but the bike has been sitting for years and it’s going to need a lot of work. Are you up for the challenge? Do you even think it’s worth saving?
