Jeff Weier Resto – 1968 Suzuki T500 Cobra
Post Sale Update: This Cobra sold for $11,500 after 57 bids on eBay in Suffern, New York…but the sale didn’t go through and now it’s been relisted.

864 Miles – 2001 Kawasaki W650
Before Triumph brought the Bonneville back in the early 2000s, your best bet for a “Modern Classic” Bonnie actually came from Japan. Kawasaki’s W650 was a retro standard inspired by their W1, itself a copy of the BSA A7. The W650 was only exported to the US for two years, but during that time it was the best option for …

Post Sale Update: This Dream sold for $2,575 after 37 bids on eBay in Durham, Connecticut. I don’t feature many of these because I think they’re kind of ugly, but I like that this hard-to-find blue example is being offered with no reserve.
1999 Kawasaki ZRX1100
Inspired by Eddie Lawson’s race bike replica released in 1982, the ZRX was a tribute to a tribute. This bike and its 1200 successor are some of the best bang for your buck used bikes you can buy today.
