The Honda CB77, also known as the the Super Hawk, has the glorious distinction of being Honda’s first sportbike. This bike, in many ways like the Vincent Black Shadow, set the template for the next 20 years of motorcycles. Unlike the Black Shadow, though, the Superhawk was known for both speed and reliability, and it would lead to several future …

Snowbike – 2011 Kawasaki KX450F

1976 Rickman Kawasaki CR-Z1
Here’s a Kawasaki Z1 900 that’s been given the Rickman treatment – not as a kit, but from the Rickman factory itself. After careful storage for 20 years, the bike was recently recommissioned with new fuel lines/filters and rebuilt carbs. It’s claimed to be a ‘museum piece’ in outstanding condition, but it could be a classic everyday rider if you …
Reader Ride – 1985 Honda CB700SC
Post Sale Update: This Nighthawk sold for $3,200 after 8 bids on eBay. Also known as the Nighthawk S, the Honda CB700SC was an interesting bike designed to avoid the 45% tax imposed on imported bikes of 700cc or bigger. Despite the ‘smaller’ engine, this bike was faster than many of its 750cc competitors, and the press loved it. Honda …
9,600 Miles – 1975 Honda CB550K
Adorned in a beautiful Candy Jade Green paint job, this CB550K has had just one owner who put just 9,600 miles on it. Like yesterday’s one-owner /6, this bike (VIN: CB550-1203812) has been setup for touring with a Vetter Windjammer fairing, barbacks, luggage rack, and more.
Over $120k – 2005 Kawasaki KX250
Post-Sale Update: After 108 bids on eBay, this KX250 sold for $241,000.01. You know, about $1,000 per cc. I look forward to seeing if the sale goes through or if this bike gets relisted.

10 Miles – 1985 Yamaha RZ350
Post Listing Update: This RZ350 did not meet reserve despite 12 bids up to $9,800. You all know the RZ350 well – it’s quite a cult classic.

YZ450SS Racer – 2008 Yamaha YZ450 Super Single
The race bike of Thompson Race Team, this Super Single won the 2012 Formula Singles Championship (and placed 2nd in 250 Superbike), then placed 2nd in both championships in 2013.

Project Creep – 1996 Suzuki DR650SE
Take one Suzuki DR650SE, and add an owner who can’t seem to help himself, and you’ve got a project that started as a detail job and ended as a basically new bike. He’s joking, but the seller starts off his listing with “I defy you to show me a bigger waste of money than this 1996 DR650SE.”
1974 Kawasaki S3 Mach 2
Post-Listing Update: Despite being relisted, this bike did not meet reserve with bidding getting up to $3,051. After Kawi had firmly established the ‘widowmaker’ reputation of the H1 and H2, one might have expected that the smaller displacement variants (S1-S3) would also be similarly hairy. But the S3 was designed to be a better street bike, with slightly lower peak …
One Year In The US – 1977 Honda CT125
Post Sale Update: This CT125 sold for the BIN of $3,800. Though it was sold from 1976-1985, the Honda CT125 Trail was only imported to the US in 1977. Think of it as a XL125 with a comfier seat, designed for farm use. It has some additional minor differences, like a fully enclosed chainguard, one person seat, smaller (19″) front …

Built by retired master tech Kevin Murphy, this bike is based on a CX650 Turbo frame that has been joined with the front frame section of a GL500.
