Readers familiar with the Honda CBX will know that in 1981, Honda took their incredible 6-cylinder sportbike and turned it into a sport tourer. Today I’ve got a seller who’s unloading an example of both from his collection – so I want to know which bike you’d prefer!
1975 Ducati 860GT Custom
This 860GT custom is being offered on consignment by Moto Borgotaro, who performed a cosmetic restoration in 2011. Since that work was done, the bike has had just 1,000 miles put on it (for a total of 3,259 miles).
5,234 Miles – 1986 Suzuki GSX-R 1100
Here’s a first year example of Suzuki’s legendary superbike with just under 5,300 miles that’s being offered with no reserve.
1 Owner – 1974 Ducati 750SS Green Frame
View Post1975 Kawasaki S3
Post-Sale Update: After 20 bids on eBay, this S3 sold for $4,350. After Kawi had firmly established the ‘widowmaker’ reputation of the H1 and H2, one might have expected that the smaller displacement variants (S1-S3) would also be similarly hairy. But the S3 was designed to be a better street bike, with slightly lower peak power (42 vs the 45 …
1997 Ducati 916
The 916 probably needs no introduction, but I’ll leave it to Visor Down to summarize how amazing this bike was: EVERY once in a while a true classic comes along: James Joyce’s Ulysses, The Beatles’ Revolver, Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs. Greats one-and-all, to be seen, owned or understood by the discerning and devoted. To the list of timeless classics, we can …
$7k – 1990 Ducati 750 Sport
Let me answer your first question – no, it’s not running. But this is the cheapest I’ve seen a 750 Sport in a long time…and it could be a great purchase for a gambler.
1964 Triumph Bonneville
View Post1992 Ducati 888 SP4
Though it stands in the shadow of the SPS variant, the Ducati 888 SP4 is one of the rarest Ducatis ever in the US.
1987 Suzuki GSX-R 1100
Featuring 137 horsepower and weighing just 434 pounds, the 1100 GSX-R was the fastest bike on the block at the time. Introduced right after the United States lowered the import tax on bikes above 700ccs to 24.4 percent (from over 39 percent), the bike even seemed like a relative bargain.
1990 Moto Guzzi Le Mans 1000
Moto Guzzi learned from their mistake of putting a 16″ front wheel on the Mk V Le Mans, so the Mk5 went back to the usual 18 incher. Many other small but helpful improvements came together to form the last generation of Le Mans’, in a wall of red.
1988 Honda NC30
Considered by some to be a baby RC30, the Honda NC30 (also known as the VFR400R) has become a cult classic in Japan – it was never officially imported to the US. Turn it into a fantastic trackday weapon or enjoy it on the street…it’s already been plated in Louisiana.
1973 Triumph Trident 750 T150V
The last significant development from the Meriden plant, the Triumph Trident was built to meet US preferences (it even set speed records in Daytona before the Kawasaki Z1 came around). Here’s a 1973 example, the first year of a front disk brake. ’73 also brought about a 5 speed gearbox, which yielded the “V” in T150V. For more on the …
Great Price – 1982 Honda CX500 Turbo
You guys seemed to be pleased with the last CX500 Turbo I featured, which was being offered at around $4,500. This one doesn’t look as nice (the original paint has faded a bit), but the asking price is less than half…better hurry! The seller says this bike is all original and that he’s had it since 2006. He doesn’t actually …
Needs Some Work – 1947 Velocette KSS
It’s not road ready just yet, but this KSS is ready to be brought back to life after the original owner passed away and this bike changed hands in an estate sale. It was apparently turned into a bit of a bobber in the 50s, hence the shortened fenders. Note that you’ll get a box of extra parts that includes …
