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!
1987 Yamaha SRX250
A one-year-only tiny Yamaha, the SRX250 has become a bit of a cult classic. This is one of the rare California examples that came with the extra emissions crap that Cali requires. Without that, you can only import a bike inot the state if it has over 7,500 miles on the odometer. Here’s an example that’s claimed to run well …

Here’s a lovely Ducati 250 Scrambler that had an ‘engine out’ restoration in 2013 – the engine was rebored and got a new Borgo piston.

Italian for ‘Moose’, the Alce was a Moto Guzzi built for the Italian Army between ’39 and ’45. Featuring a 498cc single cylinder that produced 14 horsepower and a very strong frame, this was a reliable mount that was eventually replaced by the Superalce (ha, Super Moose) and complemented by the Trialce, a three-wheeler. This Alce apparently served in what …
Product Review – Oberon Clutch Slave Cylinder
As I explained in my review of the BoosterPlug, one of my complaints with the BMW K1200R is with the clutch feel. Even with the OEM adjustable levers, I felt that the engagement point was too far out, and the travel in the friction zone was rather abrupt. Here’s my attempt to resolve that.

A bike for those of you that look like Erik Estrada, this Kawasaki KZ1000P is from the last year of production and comes with nearly all of the police equipment (strobe lights, CB radio with walkie-talkie, nightstick holder) except for the siren, though the wiring and switches for the siren are still present.
