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 …
1983 Suzuki GS1150ES
The Suzuki GS1150ES was one of the last big standards, a line that started with the Honda CB750. This bike was rare even when new, so I’m glad to share a pretty solid example of what is now a 32 year old motorcycle.
9,740 Miles – 1982 Honda CBX
The Honda CBX only lasted five years, but it led to a new wave of sports-oriented motorcycles, and eventually to the Honda ST series. A 6.1 gallon tank was necessary as the 6 individual carbs and monster power led to just low 20’s miles per gallon. Want to learn more? Check out Motorcycle Classic’s writeup of this legendary bike here. …
1984 BMW R100CS Last Edition
Yesterday’s Last Edition got a tremendous amount of attention, so I figured I’d share another one with you (this one’s cheaper but has a lot more miles), courtesy of reader Jim R. This unit has 74,805 miles on the odometer, but has several upgrades like new crash bars, a Brown side stand, 450W charging system, Hella driving lights, panniers, San …
2002 Ducati ST4S
There’s plenty of good reasons to feature a Ducati ST4S – but the reason I’m featuring this specific one (VIN: ZDM1TB5T12B006170) is because the listing makes me laugh. Check out the mannequin!
