Year: 2007

I bought this gem because I had always wanted an old Beemer. These are phenomenal bikes. The slash 5 series were the first “modern” bikes from BMW. They had telescoping forks, reasonable handling, decent brakes (no discs yet), and motors that will outlive any owner. I bought this bike with about 91,500 miles on it… Continue reading 1971 BMW R60 /5

I bought this bike on a whim because the price was right. It hadn’t been on the road for a couple years, but it at least started and ran and appeared to be reasonably safe. I gave it a 10 mile test run once I got it down off the trailer. It seemed to go… Continue reading 1981 Suzuki GS550L

These old Honda CM’s are a decent little bike. They have that unusual half cruiser half standard design that was oh-so popular back in the early 80’s. All the Japanese companies were slowly shifting their design focus to try and be more in line with American demand. This of course means laid back cruisers, bleh.… Continue reading 1980 Honda CM400

I sure do buy a lot of old Honda SOHC 4’s! These 550’s are solid little bikes. Small enough to zip around town on, and heavy enough to do some touring down the highway. Why people don’t look to buy bikes of this size today I have no idea, they are far more practical than… Continue reading 1978 Honda CB550

A first year F model CB750. The F bikes had a number of differences from the standard K model. All the body work was redone and made to look sportier. The tank is longer and sleeker, the seat has a lower profile, and there is a rear cowl section. The exhaust was a 4 into… Continue reading 1975 Honda CB750F

These 350cc inline 4 cylinder bikes were produced from only 1972-1974. They are quickly becoming a very popular and in demand collectible due to their short production run, and the difficulty of finding an unabused example. However, I have found an excellent example and trailered it home. This bike is in near emmaculate condition without… Continue reading 1974 Honda CB350F

Within 24 hours I had the bike repainted, shined up, and running. Certainly not a perfect bike or a quality restoration job, but it is a fun little bike that makes LOTS of noise due to the mufflers being hollowed out.

I picked up this bike for an incredible deal (in non-running condition of course!). I have always liked the small bore honda twins. The cb350 is one of the greatest bikes of all time. The 360 is actually quite a different motor. Why they made all the changes I’m not entirely sure.

These bikes are more or less Japanese trash. There is really nothing wrong with them from a usability standpoint, they are comfy and go down the street just fine – But they are very unrefined, filled with poorly made and poorly designed parts, and are not a bike you should plan on keeping any length… Continue reading 1981 Kawasaki CSR 650
