Post Sale Update: This GB sold for $5,000 after 24 bids on eBay. You’re all familiar with the Honda GB500, a bike that I have trouble not featuring. This example was bought by the seller in 2005, and it’s apparently taken him/her 10 years to realize s/he isn’t going to ride it. Now it’s your change to put some miles …
Video Intermission – Trophy Motorcycles
View Post1993 BMW K75S
You seemed to enjoy the cheap BMW K100RS tourer I featured a few days ago, so let’s follow that up with another cheap flying brick.
1957 AJS Model 30
A predecessor of the Model 31 I recently featured, this AJS Model 30 is thankfully ready to go as is.
Video Intermission – Kawasaki H2R at Isle of Man TT
If you like having eardrums, you’ll make sure that you listen to this through speakers and not through headphones. And if you like bikes, you’ll probably play this several times in a row. Good lord.
Ride to Work Day 2015
Ride to Work is a non-profit that champions the use of motorcycles (and scooters) for transportation. I’m such a big fan of this as I’ve found that motorcycles in the US are more often treated as a hobby than as a mode of transportation, especially when compared to other countries. Not that I look down on any rider that doesn’t …
Event Recap – 2015 AMCA National in Oley, PA
Let’s all thank reader David N, who attended this AMCA National and was kind enough to get his thoughts together so we can all see what it was like!
1968 Honda CB450 K1
The K1 CB450 was a one year only bike, and it was the last Honda to rock chrome panels on the gas tank.
2011 Husaberg FS570
When this bike came out, it was a bit of a revelation. It wasn’t cheap, but many reviewers considered it to be the best supermoto you could buy at the time.
1979 Honda CB750 10th Anniversary
10 years after releasing the CB750, Honda put out an Anniversary Edition to mark the occasion. Differences between the Anniversary Edition and the K model include mag rims instead of spoked wheels, and different badges/side covers. Like the base bike, the 748cc engine produced 78 horsepower and 48 pound-feet of torque that went through a 5-speed transmission, yielding a top …
1986 Yamaha SRX600
Just like the SR500, the SRX600 featured the engine from one of Yamaha’s dirtbikes placed into a chassis to enable sporty street riding. Unlike the SR500, this bike sold poorly outside of Japan. Here in the states, it only lasted for a year. But the 45 horsepower was enough to have fun, and some people consider it to be a …
Nice Price – 1974 BMW R90S
This is a ‘rider’, not a show bike, but I think the $7,500 price reflects that just fine. I haven’t seen a good-running example of the R90S for this cheap in a while, but can you get over the faults?
