This Honda Trail 110 has been completely restored with original Honda parts and it looks great. It’s got a 3 speed gearbox, auto clutch, and just 4,492 miles. But to be frank, I think I’m featuring it mostly because it has the awesome auxiliary fuel tank: Find this Honda Trail 110 for sale here on Craigslist in Round Rock, Texas …
The First Ducati – 1951 Ducati 60
I’m sure I’ll get someone who wants to say that the Cucciolo was actually Ducati’s first motorcycle – but that was really just a bicycle with a mounted engine. The evolution of the Cucciolo (which translated to “little puppy”) was the Ducati 60, what the firm considered to be a “light motorcycle”. The next development of the Cucciolo was the …
Bandit9 Bishop Concept
Bandit9 is a Chinese motorcycle customizing shop based out of Beijing and run by “Bandit Chief” Daryl Villanueva. They made some waves earlier in the year with the Eve, a very visually striking motorcycle:
Ending Soon – 1965 Honda CM91 Roadster Kit
The base model of this bike is something most people are familiar with – the step through Honda Cub, what James May once called the greatest machine ever. But in the late 60s, Honda was worried that scooters were losing popularity. Their solution was the Roadster Kit, which would completely change the CM91.
A couple of Honda Z50s
To complement the oddball “Monkey Davidson” from a week back, here’s two other rare examples of Honda’s Z50, both offered for sale by the same seller.
1969 Suzuki AS50 Maverick
Post Sale Update: This Maverick sold for $3,265 after 31 bids on eBay. The Suzuki AS50 Maverick was a tiddler with an interesting flat-bottom headlight. When reviewed by Motorcycle Mechanics, the tester got an impressive 114 miles per gallon!
$1000 – 1971 Bridgestone 100 TMX
Yes, Bridgestone is known as a tire company, but for a couple of decades they made some class-leading motorcycles. One of their very rare models is the Bridgestone 100 TMX, a tiny trail bike that featured some quality tech.
1967 Honda CB160
Post Listing Update: Despite 14 bids on eBay up to $2,125, this little CB did not meet reserve. One of the truly iconic small-displacement Japanese bikes, the Honda CB160 is a small but well-built street bike. This specific example has undergone a frame-off restoration and looks absolutely lovely.
59 Miles – 1970 Honda CT70
At first I was going to whine that this bike was priced absurdly high and that I was losing touch with how expensive older motorcycles were getting. Then I saw the mileage and how pristine this was, and…the pricing became a little bit easier to swallow.
Basically New – 1997 Honda Dream 50 CB50V
Honda has always been one of the world’s best at sub-100cc bikes, from commuter bikes for the people to full on works racers. Over the years, however, the company slowly moved towards bigger bikes in an effort to capture more of an American market that has always been obsessed with power. For a couple of years in the Japanese market …
Mini Harley – 1979 Honda Monkey Z50
Post-Listing Update: This Honda Monkey Z50 did not get any bids. This Honda Monkey Z50 (affectionately called the Monkey-Davidson) has been converted to look like an Electra-Glide with the Batwing fairing, luggage, and trunk.
Museum Quality – 1967 Honda S90
Post-Listing Update: This ‘museum quality’ (despite the backwards tank badges) S90 did not meet reserve with bidding up to $3,152 on eBay. I feature all kinds of motorcycles on this site, but only the Honda S90 is on here every day, as it’s part of the Bike-urious logo. Here’s a restored example that’s currently spending its days in a museum.
Baby 916 – 1995 Cagiva Mito 125
Ever wanted the looks of Ducati’s beautiful 916 but with a much, much tinier engine? Here’s your chance, thanks to the rare-in-the-US Cagiva Mito 125.
1969 Gemini SST 50
Post-Listing Update: This “Ferrari of Minibikes” did not get any action at a reduced BIN of $3,700. Imported for just three years, the Gemini SST 50 was much faster than a Honda Z50 thanks to a licensed design of the Yamaha 50cc rotary engine. Apparently it could even keep up with a CT70 for a while. I know, these are …
1975 Harley-Davidson SX 125
Post Listing Update: This SX got no interest at the BIN of $2,500. One of the results of AMF’s investment in Harley, the Harley-Davidson SX 125 was a small displacement enduro complete with “Italian” style and an upswept pipe. This specific Harley-Davidson SX 125 (VIN: 7A12122H5) has 1,100 miles and has recently been restored. It is currently on display at …
