In Custom, England by Abhi1 Comment

I was on my way to meet some friends to watch the Clippers game on Tuesday when I randomly noticed a store called Heroes Motorcycles on La Brea. I pulled over to check it out and was blown away by the bikes they’ve got in there – this is going to be a very interesting spot once they’re done building …

5,941 Miles – 1979 Honda CBX

In Japan, Sport by AbhiLeave a Comment

Here’s a beautiful, low-mileage example of Honda’s first 6-cylinder production bike, this CBX looks basically new in Candy Glory Red.

5,285 Miles – 1994 Yamaha FZR600

In Japan, Less than 5k, Sport by Abhi2 Comments

Post-Listing Update: This FZR600 did not get any love at $2,995. Sold between ’89 and ’99, the FZR600 was an inline-four powered sportbike with a Deltabox frame. In many markets, this bike evolved into the “Foxeye” FZR/YZF, in 1994, though Yamaha kept selling this model for another 5 years. Here’s (VIN: JYA3HHE07RA070904) a low mileage example in a rare color …
