Here’s an impressively clean original model in red, one of the harder to find colors. It looks to have 3,500 miles, and even the fork gaiters and chrome look to be …

Z-Rex – 1999 Kawasaki ZRX1100
The Kawasaki ZRX1100 was a great example of a power cruiser – Cycle World called it the best Standard bike of ’99. 11 years later they called it one of their best used bikes thanks to 96 horsepower (good for a 0-60mph sprint in 2.9 seconds), comfortable ergonomics, and 80s Superbike looks. This example is claimed to be in mint …
1982 Honda CX500 Turbo
Post Listing Update: This CX did not meet reserve despite 11 bids up to $3,356 – it had been relisted after not meeting reserve with 14 bids up to $4,250.

A pair of Bridgestone 50s
In the 60s, Bridgestone was making some of the best motorcycles in Japan. However, their tire manufacturing brought in much more money, and the ‘folk tale’ is that the big 4 in Japan told Bridgestone that they’d stop using BS tires if motorcycle production continued. Truthfully, Bridgestones were just expensive and didn’t have a great dealer network. Still, it’s a …
