A classic sportbike, the Suzuki GSX-R 750 was originally introduced in 1985 and debuted with a win in the 24-hour World Endurance Championships in Le Mans.

View Post2014 Honda Grom Custom
Remember the Honda Motocompo? Built as a ‘trunk bike’ to fit into the Honda City, it was a quirky take on personal transportation. I bring that up because the name parallels well with ComposiMo, a company that has turned this Grom into a custom that fits inside of a Honda Fit.
New In Crate – 1982 Honda FT500 Ascot
Here’s an odd listing – a motorcycle collector has THREE Honda Ascots still sitting in the boxes they were imported with. Because of that, you’ll have your choice of Monza Red or Black, the two colors Honda offered for the FT500 when it was first introduced in 1982. Buying a brand new 33 year old bike is one thing, but …

2015 KTM 450 SX-F Factory Edition
If you’re looking for the best MX bike ever made, a surprising amount of people would tell you it’s the bike in front of you right now, the 450 SX-F FE. Based on the name, it’d be reasonable for you to assume that it’s just a gussied up version of the base SX-F, but only the chain guide and some …

1987 Cagiva Elefant 650
The Cagiva Elefant is an interesting odd-ball – an Italian dual-sport with the heart of a Ducati. Available with a 900cc or 650cc engine, this is definitely the most unique option compared to the KLR, DRZ, and XL/XR options available from Japan.
1996 Harley “Dual-Sportster”

Rare Project – 1965 SIS V5 Sport

1989 Honda NX250
The middle weight of the Honda NX line-up (which also included a 125 and a 650), the NX250 was available for just two years. This example is in incredible condition thanks one caring owner who put just 2,405 miles on it.
Introducing: The Beater Olympics
We hold these truths to be self-evident: 1. Motorcycles are fun. 2. Motorcycles ain’t cheap. 3. Beater bikes are fun to thrash on.
