Is this fun or heresy? Or maybe…both?

457 Miles – 1979 Yamaha GT80

Still New – 2002 Honda CR250R
Dirt Bike Magazine called the CR250R Honda’s Greatest Bike thanks to an impressively successful production run that lasted 34 years. Here’s a rare example that’s never been ridden or titled!
1971 Suzuki Trailhopper MT50
Also known as the Trailhopper, the Suzuki MT-50 was a mini bike designed to fit in the trunk of your car with swing-in handlebars and a removable front wheel.
1986 Honda Reflex TLR200
In 1986, Honda offered two trials machines to the public. The “RTL” was built by HRC and was the version for riders who were looking to compete and didn’t mind spending plenty in the process. But Honda also offered the “TLR”, which was the easier to buy (and easier to ride) option. The latter was solely built for the 1986 …
1982 Honda Motra CT50
In the 80s, Honda offered what they called a “heavy duty” minibike called the Motra. Unlike the Z50 or original Monkey, the Motra was designed to be loaded up with gear and ridden just about anywhere you could imagine. A commonly-shared-but-unverified tale says that “Motra” is a combination of Motorcycle-Truck because the Japanese pronunciation for truck is “Torakku”.
C&J Framed – 1979 Honda XR500
The first Honda XR model was the ’79 XR500, which was notable for a 23″ front wheel. Here’s an example that’s got a smaller front wheel…and a whole bunch of other modifications, like a C&J Racing frame.
No Reserve Project – 1967 Honda CB450P Police
I have a weakness for older ‘service’ bikes, like this previously featured Honda Dream Fire Bike and today’s featured Honda CB450P Police Special, which may have also been officially called the Honda CP450. According to the AMA, just 25 were imported to the US to pilot an entrance into the police motorcycle market.
1965 Honda C100 with Roadster Kit
While Honda found success with its small step-through models in most markets, the Japanese marque struggled to sell scooters in the same numbers in the US. Honda looked to change this with the introduction of what it called the “Custom Group”, consisting of four different add-on kits (the Roadster, Rally, Boss, and Student) designed to make little runners like the …
2016 Honda CB500F
Back in 2015 I mentioned a wonderful blog called Rolling Physics Problem by Greg Shamieh (a frequent commenter here at Bike-urious). He’s selling his CB500F – what he calls “the great grandson of the famous CB450 ‘Black Bomber’ – only with the benefit of more than 50 years of technical evolution.”
2017 Yamaha SCR950 Super Hooligan
Built by Jeff Palhegyi in 40 hours, this Yamaha SCR950 has been converted to a street tracker after (according to the seller) it was built as a Super Hooligan bike for Ryan Villopoto.
White Brothers 601cc Kit – 1989 Honda GB500
Honda’s GB500 was an homage to classic British singles but there was a twist – it was reliable! The average American rider shopping for a Japanese bike at the time was more interested in the bigger supersport replicas, but the Tourist Trophy has become a cult classic. Here’s another twist: a California-based company called the White Brothers made a 601cc …
Pro Circuit Build – 2022 Kawasaki KX250
Pro Circuit is one of the legendary motocross and supercross teams of all time, and they occasionally have bikes for sale up on their site. Here’s a wildly modified KX250 that they’re ready to let go of.
