1979 was a year of new and old for the CB750. On the new side, the model debuted a DOHC motor that was good for 78 horsepower and 48 lb-ft of torque. On the old side, it had been a decade since the big CB was introduced, so Honda commemorated the anniversary with a limited edition sold alongside the base …
No Reserve – 1978 Honda CB750 Project
Today on the auction site, we’re trying to clear up some storage space!
864 Miles – 2001 Kawasaki W650
Before Triumph brought the Bonneville back in the early 2000s, your best bet for a “Modern Classic” Bonnie actually came from Japan. Kawasaki’s W650 was a retro standard inspired by their W1, itself a copy of the BSA A7. The W650 was only exported to the US for two years, but during that time it was the best option for …

Post Sale Update: This RD200 sold for $2,251 on Iconic Motorbike Auctions. It’s simple, it’s cheap, and it’s about to meet reserve – today on the auction site we’ve got a Yamaha RD200!
145 Miles – 1982 Suzuki GS550M Katana
Post Sale Update: This Katana sold for $2,746 after 24 bids on eBay in Matthews, North Carolina. Arguably a restyle of the GS550, the middleweight Katana had many of the styling cues of its bigger brothers, except the most important one! The headlight was a solitary circle sticking out into the wind, instead of a square in the distinctive angular …
52 Miles – 1993 Kawasaki Zephyr ZR1100
Post Listing Update: This Zephyr did not meet reserve despite 28 bids up to $8,900 on eBay in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In the early 90s, Kawasaki introduced the Zephyr, a retro-styled bike which emulated the legendary Z1. It was available in a wide variety of displacements but the big boy was the 1100, which utilized an evolution of the 8V DOHC …
No Reserve – 1965 Honda Dream CA77
Post Sale Update: This Dream sold for $2,575 after 37 bids on eBay in Durham, Connecticut. I don’t feature many of these because I think they’re kind of ugly, but I like that this hard-to-find blue example is being offered with no reserve.
1999 Kawasaki ZRX1100
Inspired by Eddie Lawson’s race bike replica released in 1982, the ZRX was a tribute to a tribute. This bike and its 1200 successor are some of the best bang for your buck used bikes you can buy today. It had 1982 styling with some late nineties updates, balancing both time period’s style perfectly. That trademark faring at the front …
New Auction Bike – 1977 Honda Gold Wing
Today on the auction site we’ve got a lovely first-generation Honda Gold Wing survivor!
2011 Suzuki TU250X
I often sing the praises of small displacement bikes, but there are only a handful I would actually own. When I did my motorcycle training course years ago, the instructor handed me what ended up being one of the most fun, well balanced and charming bikes I had ever ridden. I ended up getting 100% on my riding test at …
Restored – 1975 Moto Guzzi 850T
UPDATE: This bike has already been removed off of Craigslist, sorry! The previous owner has done a whole bunch of work on this Guzzi so that you can now enjoy it for years to come.
1964 Scott Flying Squirrel
“As lively as a Squirrel and never sheds a nut.” The Scott Flying Squirrel debuted all the way back in 1921, which is why the period slogan sounds a bit…dated. But the bike lived on for an impressively long time, surviving multiple closures of its parent company. By 1954, Scott Motorcycles had been moved to Birmingham, and a new series …
2007 Ducati SportClassic GT1000
Did anyone see the Tron Sequel from 2010? I saw it in the theater with my son in 3D, and I loved it. Then the critics panned it, and the movie ended up being kind of a flop. They even cancelled plans for a follow-up movie. I stand by my original feelings. It’s a fun, if flawed movie. What wasn’t …
565 Miles – 1973 BMW R75/5
Based on the claim that this R75/5 is being offered for sale for the very first time, this low-mileage BMW is presumably being sold by the original owner.
1948 Panther Model 60
Post Sale Update: This Panther sold for $3,839 after 27 bids on eBay in San Clemente, California. The story of Panther originates with Phelon & Moore, a motorcycle manufacturer out of Yorkshire, England. Founded in 1904 (and eventually acquired in 1967), P&M launched the Panther brand in 1924 and stopped putting their own name on bikes at the end of …
