In Dual-Sport, Japan by AbhiLeave a Comment

One of the few four-stroke trials bikes of the 70s, the Honda TL250 was developed with tremendous input from Sammy Miller – the license plate of the prototype was SAM 1N. Production started in ’75, and approximately 4,000 bikes were eventually sold, most in the US. The 248cc single produced 16 horsepower. For more information on the TL250, check out …

$1,000 – 1979 Suzuki SP370

In Dual-Sport, Japan by AbhiLeave a Comment

The Suzuki SP370 is a hard to find vintage dual-sport that features classic looks and…that’s pretty much it. It wasn’t very powerful (25 horsepower) but cost just as much as Yamaha’s 500cc competitor. With that said, it’s hard to argue with a grand. This example was stored for years and though it needs a little bit of TLC, it currently …

3 Hodakas and Misc Parts

In America, Japan, Off-Road by AbhiLeave a Comment

Hodaka, a Japanese-American joint venture, produced a series of very popular small-engine bikes during the 60s and 70s, with some fantastic names.

In Japan, Sport by Abhi1 Comment

Just Hands – 2003 Yamaha R6

In Japan, Sport by AbhiLeave a Comment

This Yamaha R6 has been modified by the seller to be rideable by someone who is paralyzed from the waist down.

The outriggers are deployed via a toggle switch mounted in …

1965 Honda CB77

In Japan, Sport by Abhi3 Comments

Here’s a lovely Superhawk that was restored last year. The motor’s had some work done, including a new top end, and the frame, swingarm, and center stand were powdercoated. I’d ditch the CYB seat for the original, but the seller’s folder full of receipts should be helpful in maintaining peace of mind. Find this CB77 for sale here on Craigslist …
