5,941 Miles – 1979 Honda CBX

In Japan, Sport by AbhiLeave a Comment

Here’s a beautiful, low-mileage example of Honda’s first 6-cylinder production bike, this CBX looks basically new in Candy Glory Red.

Covered as part of the show American Choppers, a team that normally builds custom choppers came together to build a frankenbike of sorts. It looked like a stretched Yamaha R1, but was powered by a turbocharged V-Twin and was complemented by Brembo brakes, BST wheels, …

Post-Listing Update: This FZR600 did not get any love at $2,995. Sold between ’89 and ’99, the FZR600 was an inline-four powered sportbike with a Deltabox frame.

762 Miles – 2010 Triumph Street Triple R

In England, Sport by Abhi13 Comments

Post-Sale Update: This Street Triple R sold for a lowered BIN of $5,600. I’m one of the (apparently few) people that prefers the styling of the previous gen Street Triple, with the round headlights. Because of that, I like this Matte Blazing Orange example being offered by the original owner with just 762 miles and a few choice extras.
