Honda’s NSR250R was sold from ’87 to ’99, and was pretty much the defining 250 racer replica over all those years.
AMA Racer – 1983 Honda Interceptor Factory Superbike
Here’s a Honda Interceptor Factory Superbike, built to compete in the 750cc class and of course built around the legendary Honda V-4. Here’s your chance to get a real factory racebike, though the seller’s stories about pedigree will need some verification. He brings up Ron Haslam and Sam McDonald, as they raced similar bikes in AMA, but I’d love YOUR …
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. The predecessor to the CX650T, the Honda CX500 Turbo was a confusing bike. One of the first of the Japanese turbo bikes, I’m still not sure why Honda wanted to …
1984 Yamaha RZ350 Kenny Roberts
A sought-after collectors bike in the US, the Yamaha RZ350 Kenny Roberts probably needs no introduction. Only sold in the states from 84-85, these were the first bikes in the US to come equipped with catalytic converters and the first Yamaha street bike in the US to use a perimeter frame.
The Commander – 1968 Kawasaki W2 650SS

$425 – 1988 Honda Z50R
For just $425, you can be the new owner of a legitimate motorcycle! Bonus points – this was a one-year only paint scheme, if that means anything to you. There’s a couple of cosmetic issues, but it runs well. For this kind of money, you can buy a bike or just barely afford a Dyson vacuum. Find this cheap Honda …
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 …
1961 Suzuki Colleda 125
Suzuki started building bikes in 1954 – the first years of manufacturing were under the “Colleda” name. Fast forward to 1961 with the 123cc model, an air-cooled parallel twin engine that was capable of 10 horsepower. The bike weighed just 260 pounds and featured telescopic forks. Find this Suzuki Colleda 125 for sale in Bethany, Oklahoma with bidding up to …

2,700 Miles – 1989 Honda Transalp
Post-Sale Update: After 6 bids on eBay, this Honda Transalp sold for $2,700. The Honda Transalp was a dual-sport that was truly ahead of its time. A slightly less off-road biased cousin of the Honda Africa Twin, the Transalp was first released in 1987. This was one of the odder bikes that Honda ever sold – truly a jack of …
1993 Honda CR500 Ice Racer
The Honda CR500 was a monster of a dirt bike, with the two-stroke engine putting out about 55 horsepower that were arguably difficult to control. The bike weighed 247 pounds, and it was terrifying enough that MXA magazine called it Mr. Hyde compared to the Dr. Jekyll of a much newer Honda CRF450, even though the latter is no slouch.
1981 Honda Motocompo
Post-Sale Update: After 23 bids on eBay, this Honda Motocompo sold for $2,026. Sold for only 3 years, the Honda Motocompo was a tiny 50cc folding scooter designed to fit into the trunks of the subcompact cars Honda was making at the time, like the City. In fact, the City’s trunk was designed specifically to house the Motocompo. Nowadays, they’re …
Built by Randakk – Supercharged Honda GL1000
Post-Listing Update: Bidding somehow only got up to $7,300, where it did not meet reserve. According to Randakk’s site, it sold to a German collector for an unknown amount. Back in May, I noted that Randakk, Goldwing fanatic and supercharger expert, was about to release an absolutely fantastic supercharged Honda GL1000. I frankly figured it would have sold quickly, but …
1972 Honda CB500 Cafe Racer
Here’s a custom Honda CB500 Cafe Racer that was commissioned by the seller at a local shop in Los Angeles. Since the build, the bike has just 2,000 miles. It apparently runs well and is a reliable daily rider. Minor flaws are limited to brakes that need to be adjusted and a small oil leak. Find this Honda CB500 Cafe …
