There’s something special about micro-displacement trail bikes. So many of us have a sentimental attachment to these little machines as a lot of riders spent time romping around on these as kids, for a lot of people this was their first experience on a motorcycle. Restored examples of these machines aren’t very common and the direction this CT70’s builder took …
End of the Road – 2017 Honda Z50 50th Anniversary
View PostUnexpected Custom – 1993 Suzuki GN125
View Post1 of 9 – Bandit9 Eve
Bandit9 is by far one of the most creative companies building motorcycles today. Their designs are objectively unique and creative as hell. Though Bandit9’s bikes are technically small production runs, these machines are still pretty rare and incredibly well priced considering the quality and character of their motorcycles.
1980 Sachs G3 505/1D
This G3 moped stands out for two reasons: first, it has an impressive 15,800 miles on the odometer, and secondly, it features the top of the line 505/1D motor – good for a stonking 2.7 horsepower. Speeding tickets, here we come!
Heavily Customized – 2014 Honda Grom
It’s not often that you see small displacement bikes like the Honda Grom undergo such extreme and extensive customization but that’s exactly what this seller has done. The vast majority of the mods on this custom Grom are cosmetic but a handful of components have been thrown into the mix to improve the little guy’s performance as well. While I …
1947 Saginaw Powerbike
Built by the Saginaw Products Corporation, the Powerbike was a conversion kit that you could slap onto any pedal-driven bicycle. All you had to do was remove the bicycle’s rear wheel, bolt on the Powerbike, and then hook up a fuel tank, fuel lines, and the throttle cable. They were successful enough that Sears started to offer pre-converted Powerbikes. The …
Ending Soon – Honda NSR50 or NSR80
That’s right, “or.” This seller is offering you the choice between a NSR80 or a NSR50 Mick Doohan Repsol Commemorative edition. Which one would you pick? I’m sticking with Mick.
1974 Hodaka Road Toad
When it comes to naming motorcycle models, Hodaka might win. Rat. Super Rat. Dirt Squirt. Combat. Wombat. Wombat Combat. Ace. Road Toad. Hodaka was a Japanese motor builder for Yamaguchi motorcycles in 1963 when Yamaguchi went bankrupt. PABTCO, based in Athena, Oregon went looking for a replacement to fill the void left in their sales niche. The fact that PABTCO’s …
1965 Honda CB160 Racer
A couple of years ago I attended my first Vintage GP. I went there specifically to check out some sidecars, but there were a lot of great classes. One of my favorites was the CB160 race, because it begins with a Le Mans start. I hope the next owner of this bike will participate in similar events.
950 Miles – 1968 Kawasaki C2TR
Introduced in 1964, the C2TR was a 120cc trail bike with enough equipment to be street legal if the rider desired. It was also known as the RoadRunner, but this example hasn’t lived up to its name yet as it has just 950 miles on the odometer.
Thailand Spec – 2004 Honda CBR150R Repsol
Honda never sold the CBR150R in the US, but at least two examples have somehow made its way to the States. This one has just 2 miles and it’s currently on display on the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, Iowa.
One Year Only – 1990 Honda NS50F
Just for 1990, America got a taste of Honda’s NSF50F two stroke “sport” bike. Despite the diminutive size, it’s a street legal bike with a claimed top speed of 55 miles per hour. It makes me think of a MB5 that got updated with liquid cooling and then painted by a Miami coke dealer. I want one.
Partial Restoration – 1960 Ducati Bronco
If they’ve even heard of it at all, riders are usually familiar with the Ducati Bronco as a 125cc bike. But it was also available in 85cc and 98cc variants – here’s one of the tiny ones that is close being completely restored. Who’s ready to finish the job and get a little Italian jewel n the process?
2 Miles – 1969 Benelli Dynamo
4-14-17 Update: Two years later, this bike is back up for sale with a whopping 50% more miles! That might be a bit of an overreaction as the total mileage is still just 3. But now you know it runs and the new listing has much better photos. So, find this Dynamo for sale in Stockton, New Jersey with bidding …
