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 …

View Post5,941 Miles – 1979 Honda CBX
Here’s a beautiful, low-mileage example of Honda’s first 6-cylinder production bike, this CBX looks basically new in Candy Glory Red. The glorious exhaust shows no rust, and it comes with the cover, shop manual, and parts catalog. The only flaw seems to be slight chrome pitting/a small ding on the left muffler and a touched-up scratch on the front fender.
Restored – 1958 Pannonia TL250F
I love the black/red combo of this Pannonia TL250F, which has been “fully restored” (though it is missing the tank emblem and pinstriping).

Built as a door prize for when Discovery HD Theater was rebranded to Velocity, this Bonnie was modified in about 4 hours, losing approximately 40 pounds in the process. The build was ‘documented’ by the builders – Cafe Racer TV.
1970 Royal Enfield Interceptor
In addition to having the classiest name in motorcycling history, the Royal Enfield Interceptor featured a tuned version of RE’s biggest engine at the time.
OCC V-Twin Turbo Sportbike
Here’s something I never thought I’d see – Orange County Choppers building a superbike…sort of. Covered as part of the show American Choppers, a team that normally builds custom choppers came together to build a frankenbike of sorts. It looked like a stretched Yamaha R1, but was powered by a turbocharged V-Twin and was complemented by Brembo brakes, BST wheels, …
It’s Here – 2015 CSC Cyclone RX3
One of the big complaints about dual-sport bikes is that they’re just too big and heavy. There’s a small amount of 250 options out there (Yamaha probably has the best one with the WR250R), but there wasn’t a true 250 “adventurer tourer”…until now. Meet the Cyclone RX3, the result of a partnership between California Scooter Company and Zongshen, and after …

View Post5,285 Miles – 1994 Yamaha FZR600
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 …
“The Narrow One” – 1974 Harley Shovelhead Custom
Post-Sale Update: After being relisted, the Narrow One was sold for $8,500. This Shovelhead bobber is claimed to be an excellent runner (the seller says he’s taken it between LA and Vegas several times) based on a numbers matching ’74 frame, motor, and transmission.
1982 Ducati Pantah 600SL
Take the distinctive 500SL Pantah, then bore it out to get the 600SL, yielding an 11% boost in power.

View PostNeeds Lots of Work – 1954 Vincent Black Shadow
Let’s get right to it – this is one of the most iconic motorcycles of all time, but this specific example won’t be seeing the road any time soon. Hope you’re up to the task!
