A half-faired, more comfortable brother of the Speed Triple, the Triumph Sprint 900 was a competent (if top-heavy) sports-tourer motivated by Triumph’s wonderful triple. The engine produced 98 horsepower and 61.2 pound feet of torque, good for a top speed of 140 miles per hour (though the speedo goes all the way to 200 for some insane reason). For more …
10,174 Miles – 1981 BMW R100RT
Here’s a beautiful RT with low miles that’s ready to see the country.
1985 Yamaha FJ1100
View PostModern Police – 2007 BMW R1200RTP
Most police bikes are serviced well, but have plenty of miles on them before they become available to the public. This example was used by the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department, who ended up freezing their police motorcycle program due to lack of funds. Because of that, this has just 21,000 miles.
2007 Moto Guzzi Norge 1200
Named after a 1928 trip in which a Guzzi rode to the Arctic Circle, the Norge could be considered an Italian take on the BMW R1200RT sport tourer.
1993 Yamaha GTS1000
For only one year in the US, Yamaha sold a sport-touring bike that was far ahead of its time – the GTS1000. Full of technology that would not make its way to most bikes for years to come, the GTS featured fuel injection, ABS brakes, and most importantly, the RADD front suspension designed by James Parker. This suspension was able …
1991 Yamaha FJ1200
A simple sport tourer, the FJ1200 has a lot of passionate fans as it was comfortable, reliable, and featured an engine that put down a lot of usable-in-the-real-world power.
No Reserve – 1989 Yamaha FJ1200
A simple sport tourer, the FJ1200 has a lot of passionate fans as it was comfortable, reliable, and featured an engine that put down a lot of usable-in-the-real-world power.
1980 Rickman CRE 1000 Predator
I’ve featured plenty of bikes from this seller (who somehow always has his/her hands on exquisite Italian machinery), many of which have been Bimotas that featured Italian frames/bodywork around Japanese engines. This time around we’re going with the British/Japanese combo of the Rickman CRE 1000 Predator, an odd sport-touring bike from a machine most people associate with expressions of light …
Krauser Fairing – 1977 BMW R100/7
Post-Listing Update: After being relisted, this R100/7 did not meet reserve at $6,100. Motoworks Chicago is offering an BMW R100/7 that’s been customized with some excellent extras. This bike (VIN: 6141839) stands out with a Krauser full fairing, the dual discs/final drive/handlebars from a RS, Hepco and Becker bags with a Reynolds Rack, Telefix fork brace, and plenty more. Someone …
Sport Glide – 1986 Harley-Davidson FXRT
From this impressive FXR history comes a quick lesson in Harley’s naming scheme for the Harley-Davidson FXRT, also known as the “Sport Glide”: F = Big Twin (80ci engine + 5-speed transmission) X = XL Sportster front end – including one piece fuel tank, lighter front suspension, and small headlight R = Rubber engine mounts of the new frame
9,600 Miles – 1975 Honda CB550K
Adorned in a beautiful Candy Jade Green paint job, this CB550K has had just one owner who put just 9,600 miles on it. Like yesterday’s one-owner /6, this bike (VIN: CB550-1203812) has been setup for touring with a Vetter Windjammer fairing, barbacks, luggage rack, and more.
Original Owner – 1975 BMW R90/6
Here’s a BMW R90/6 that’s been prepped for touring duty with a Luftmeister fairing, Krauser bags, and an extra 2-up seat. Despite the fact that it’s setup to cover all kinds of mileage, this one owner bike has just 20,257 miles over 40 years of life. Two years ago the bike was completely gone through – work included a carb …
1979 Moto Guzzi 1000SP
One of the better touring bikes in its day, the Moto Guzzi 1000SP Spada typically falls under the radar of some of the more classic Guzzi names. Then again, every once in a while a guy like George Dockray gets his hands on one and then turns it into an absolute beauty.
1 Owner – 1997 Suzuki RF900R
With an engine derived from the GSXR 1100, the Suzuki RF900R was designed as a entry-level bike in the sport-touring market, undercutting the competition by about $1,500. Despite the pricing, you still got a solid sport-tourer with some of the weirdest fairing designs I’ve ever seen. I’m not alone in that regard – many people didn’t like the looks that …
