Full Floater – 1984 Suzuki RM500
The RM500 was Suzuki’s big open class 2 stroker, and while it wasn’t much faster than the 465, the revised Full Floater suspension was a bit of a revelation. In the US it only sold for two years – 1984 was the last year and the engine got a new cylinder and new exhaust. Other countries got it for another …

2007 Honda CRF450 Flat Tracker
Post Sale Update: After 46 bids on eBay, this CRF450 Flat Tracker sold for $7,301. I just discovered MotoViejo, an online consignment shop that has offered some great motorcycles in the past (like this Honda SL350 AHRMA racer I featured previously). Of note, it’s run by none other than David Edwards, former editor-in-chief (for 21 years!) of Cycle World. It’d …

1995 Triumph Trident 900
When John Bloor brought Triumph back from the dead in 1991 with the factory in Hinckley, he made the wise decision to over-engineer the first models to help break in the new Triumph with a good reputation. Because of that, these ‘early’ modern Triumphs are workhorses that can be picked up for decent prices, as long as you can deal …
1958 Harley-Davidson Hummer
Post Listing Update: This Hummer was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown. Between 1948 and 1966, Harley-Davidson produced a series of two-stroke, three-speed small displacement thumpers that were based on the DKW RT125 (blueprints were obtained as part of reparations for WWII). The Hummer was built between ’55 and ’59, but that name has somehow evolved to encompass …

Some consider this to be the finest, most collectible Indian ever …

1984 Laverda Jota RGA
Post Listing Update: Despite being relisted, this RGA got no interest at the opening bid of $12,500. One of Laverda’s most iconic motorcycles was the RGS, an iconic sport tourer that Massimo Laverda once said was a “Real Grand Sport”. In ’84 and ’85, Laverda also offered a budget version called the RGA, and while most came with a chin …
1976 Honda CB400F Super Sport
Post Sale Update: This CB400F sold for $7,500 after 58 bids on eBay. More of an evolution rather than a revolution, the Honda CB400F has one of the most distinctive exhaust systems ever produced – known by some as the “waterfall pipes”. Though it wasn’t as fast as its competition, this little four cylinder was smoother, quieter, and gave better …
