I feel like the readers of Bike-urious tend to be pretty knowledgeable. So, perhaps you know about Can-Am ─ a Canada-based brand that was created in 1972 as a way for snowmobile makers Bombardier to sell motocross and enduro motorcycles.
1992 Yamaha Super Tenere XTZ750
10-9-24 Update: Four years later, this Super Ten is still in Mill Valley and it’s still up for sale, but this time the ask is up to $8,200 and you can find it here on ADVRider. Will this be the listing that gets it sold?
Who’s Going to Barber This Week?
Tens of thousands of motorcycle nuts will be descending upon Birmingham, Alabama this week for the Barber Vintage Festival…and I’ll be one of them! Will I see you there?
2018 Alta Redshift SM
I’m still writing up my review of the Can-Am Origin and Pulse but my time with those bikes has made me reflect on my (generally underwhelming) experience with electric motorcycles over the years. One of the few standouts was the Alta Redshift SM (supermoto), and this one’s worth a share as it’s been taken to another level thanks to a …
Pedal Powered – 197x Evel Knievel Speedster
This is a bit different than our usual fare but I really enjoyed it when commenter Rod M sent it over! Here’s one where you’ll have to rely on your own power versus horsepower.
No Reserve – 2022 Vyrus 986 M2
In addition to the badass 50cc Vyrus from yesterday, the same seller has a “full-size” one that I think is worth sharing.
2001 Ducati Monster 900 Cromo
In 1999, Ducati released a special edition of the Monster. They called it the Cromo, and it was obviously named due to the distinctive tank, which was complemented by a carbon fiber rear seat cover and rear fender.

View Post1959 Cushman Super Eagle
The 1950s seem to have been a magical period in motorcycling, when manufacturers all around the world were happily throwing everything at the wall. The Cushman Super Eagle managed to stick for a while, though not as long as its makers would have hoped. Yes, Cushman, makers of the vehicle that mall cops used to chase you with when you …
1952 Harley-Davidson S-125
Dear bike sellers: please make sure you take good photos of your bike. The cluttered, portrait-framed images of this Harley-Davidson S-125, don’t do the bike justice. But the ad’s worth noting because this is one of the best-condition S-125s I’ve ever seen. Also known as the Model 125, or ─ more colloquially, but inaccurately, a Hummer ─ the S-125 was …
2-Stroke Swap – 2000 Kawasaki Ninja 250
I’ve been on a bit of a two-stroke kick as of late so let’s keep it going with a fun swap: someone’s put a 1974 Yamaha RD250 motor into a Kawasaki Ninja 250 frame!
1983 Yamaha Riva XC180
I’ll admit I am not well enough versed in scooters to know by sight which model Macklemore rides through a wall in his music video for “Downtown,” but I know that this Yamaha Riva instantly made me think of it*. I also know that I agree with Macklemore’s sentiment that: “Eight-hundred cash, that’s a hell of a deal.”
Modern Two Stroke – 2024 Langen 250
Right now, if you want a brand new two-stroke motorcycle in the US then your only bet is to go dirt biking. But in the UK, a company named Langen has brought two-strokes back to the road. Their limited (run of 100) creation is expensive, full of top-notch components, and unfortunately…not legal in the US. Still, here’s one of the …
Heavily Customized – 2019 Harley-Davidson Road Glide
Yesterday, Abhi had me write up a little introduction of myself to you, the lovely readers. In that article, I revealed that I am so severely limited in imagination that if given the opportunity to choose any motorcycle in space or time, with money as no object, I would ask for a Harley-Davidson Road Glide. That’s not a sexy answer …
