OK, I promise after this I’ll take a break from featuring early GSX-Rs – feels like I’m sharing one a day right now. But I have to feature this one because I don’t know if it there’s a more special variant of the early Gixxers in the US. This here is a JDM version of the instant-classic Limited Edition of …
Street Legal – 2000 Aprilia RS250
For many enthusiasts, the Aprilia RS250 is as good as a 250cc sportbike gets. This example is even better because it’s already plated and street legal.
1989 Honda GB500
Post Listing Update: This GB500 did not meet reserve with 31 bids up to $4,292. Every so often Honda brings a bike to market just because they can. The GB500 TT seems to be one of these. Originally offered in the Japanese market Honda brought the bike to America for 1989 and ‘90. It had the look of a classic …
Bring The Family – 2006 Harley with Sidecar and Trailer
Thanks to a 2-person Hannigan sidecar and a Little Guy camper, this Harley is ready to carry 4 people and all of their stuff – or just two people that want to sleep with their bike. I’m trying to remember the last time I saw this amount of weight added to a motorcycle.
1962 Honda CA77 Dream
Some bikes are pretty recognizable, and even more are very easy to date to a decade. The Honda CA72 and CA77 are pretty easy. There can be no doubt they belong to the 1960s and the Dreams have a pretty easily recognized profile. The CA (American) series was the first ‘large displacement’ twins that Honda mass exported starting in 1961. …
Slingshot Racer – 1991 Suzuki GSX-R 750
I’ve featured a few early Gixxers recently, but this one just looks so purposeful as a track bike.
1980 Italjet Pack 2
Post Sale Update: After 4 bids on eBay, this Italjet sold for $1,125. In the 60s, Italjet produced a folding scooter called the Kit Kat. It was designed for pilots and sailors who found themselves at a destination without wheels. A couple of decades later, the Italian company modernized the idea with a scooter they called the Pack 2. It’s …
Ducati Motor – 1976 Condor A350
“Swiss Army Knife” is a term given to something versatile. So what would a Swiss Army Bike be like? In this case, it’s made by a company called Condor and it features a Ducati motor. Condor actually started producing bikes for the Swiss military back in 1893, but the A350 was built between ’73 and ’79. 3,000 were produced, and …
1971 Ducati 450 R/T Desmo
For one year only, Ducati decided to create a 450 motocrosser after their American importer convinced them it was a market worth exploring. “R/T” stood for Road/Trail, which might explain why the bike was heavier than the MX competition at 300 pounds. It did not sell well, meaning these are hard to find nowadays.
Nearly New – 1991 ATK 604 Std
View PostGuess That Bike – Unknown Seat Edition
David N found this seat, but he (and I) don’t know what it’s from. I’ve been very impressed with y’all when it comes to your knowledge of bikes…so does anyone know what motorcycle this belongs to?
2004 Ducati 998 Matrix Edition
If you are looking at a motorcycle purchase as an investment (not really advised), one of the best things you can look for are top-of-the line models – those “S” or “R” models, or special editions, especially if they are limited runs of a few hundred or so. This Ducati 998 Matrix fits that latter category.
1970 Montesa 247 Cota
I don’t know what it is about Trials bikes that make me want to hit the “Buy Now” prompt. I think it is just because they represent the essence of motorcycling. Two wheels, a simple engine, twist and go. This Montesa ticks those boxes…
Video Intermission – HOMEWORX
This is a short video, but Tom Pages packs a hell of a lot of action (and one of my new favorite tricks in FMX) in this exciting 130 seconds:
Hack Attack! 1978 CB750A Ending Soon
As if a ‘78 CB750A isn’t rare enough, why not put a Jawa/Velorex sidecar on it? Then just to be sure you have the one and only mount a Hedingham leading link front fork set up on it. If that doesn’t put you in the ‘one of a kind’ category, nothing will.
