You may remember that Jason of OddBike is doing a tour next month, and that he’ll be spending a day in Los Angeles. Jason decided to host a little get together, and I’m hoping that local readers will come join us!
Custom Dommie – Andrew Greenland Honda NX650
I have a huge soft spot for the Honda Dominator (known as the NX650 in the US), as it was the bike I used to learn how to ride in the dirt, and it was the first bike I actually sold through this site. In the last couple of years, the Dommie has become a popular platform for customization, and …
CHP – 1931 Harley-Davidson VL
View PostVideo Intermission – El Diablo Run
Every two years, Biltwell sponsors a nutty event called the El Diablo Run. It’s obviously one of those types of events that you just have to see to understand, so I’m not going to even attempt to explain it beyond saying that a group rides down to Baja and parties while having events like the Plank Race, Circle of Death, …
Trivia Discount – 2002 Ducati S4 Fogarty
If you’re looking at the number of championships and individual race wins, Carl “Foggy” Fogarty is the most successful racer to ever rule in World Superbike. In 2002, Ducati released a special edition of their Monster to honor Foggy – here’s #16 of 300. Plus, this is the first time I’ve seen a seller asks a trivia question that will …
In Uruguay – 1951 Hansa-Lloyd-Goliath GD750
View Post5,776 Miles – 1968 BMW R60/2
Somehow, this R60/2 has under 6,000 miles despite the fact that it’s almost 50 years old. It’s numbers matching and is claimed to be ‘unmolested and original’.
1974 Rokon RT140 Chopper
Introduced in 1970, the Rokon RT140 (RT = Rokon Trail, 140 was displacement) was built to get a slice of the trail bike market that had become so popular. It used the same pull-start 140cc engine that you’d find in a Snorunner, and an automatic transmission. If you believe the seller, this chopped RT140 was built by a Rokon employee …
1977 Moto Guzzi V1000 Convert
Initially designed to target the US police bike market, the V1000 Convert was the first production large displacement shaftie. You can probably guess why it was called Convert – the bike had a torque converter which allowed for smooth shifting between the two gears and allowed a rider to stop the bike while in gear.
Brand New – 1989 Honda TRX250R
I haven’t featured a quad in about two years, but here’s something you won’t see every day – a 26 year old Honda that’s been started once.
Video Intermission – Bike-urious’ Indian Scout Adventure
Yup, this time the video intermission is of yours truly! In the past I’ve done written reviews of bikes (and don’t worry, there’s one of those coming up for the Scout in a few days), but thanks to the talents of my friends Aaron Schasse and Nathan May, I’ve also got a video of our adventure to share. Hope you …
1974 Ducati 750 Sport
Post-Listing Update: This 750 Sport did not meet reserve with bidding up to $33,100. I feature this bike with caution, as the last two ’74 750 Sports that I’ve featured (one of the few bikes I like in yellow) on eBay have been pulled off before the auction ended. Still, it’s not like I can see a bike like this …
Silver Wing – 1983 Honda GL650 Interstate
When it was first released, the Honda GL500 basically sat in a class by itself – a full dress, middleweight tourer. Hell, I can’t think of something similar that’s available now – can you? In general, press and riders liked the bike but thought it was underpowered. So Honda responded by throwing in the engine from the CX650, making the …
Bumblebee – 1983 Honda Nighthawk 550
Alright, this is a bit of a joke post, but I figured you had to see this custom bike that was inspired by Bumblebee from he Transformers movie. That’s all I can really say about it.
