Classic

Beautiful Honda CB350 Four.

Just trying to settle a small issue regarding the small displacement Honda Fours. And this is a beautiful example from the pages Motorcycle USA

Really nice 1982 Suzuki GS1100E

On of the bikes on my personal “all time” list.

Royal Enfield Interceptor. My Favorite British Classic.

Out of all the great British classics my favorite hands down doesn’t come from Norton or Triumph or even Brough or Vincent. It’s the Royal Enfield Interceptor. I’ve never ridden one but in the looks department its the cream of the crop for me. The perfect balance of chrome, posture and line. For more on the bike check out the Motorcycle article HERE


Reader submittal. Beautiful BMW R5 1/3.

Reader Brian bold send in this beauty of an E-bay build. Rolling Sculpture!

This was an ebay find and I knew that the headlight and tank were worth more then my final bid. No one else seemed to feel it was worth more, so it was mine.

Since it was delivered I have taken it down to its major parts, had the frame powdercoated, found a new front and rear render. The tank is next to get attention.

I have added the Hoske pipes, not knowing if they were ever intended for the /3 plunger frame I had to make us some brackets. The SS1 Dellortos were also and ebay purchase, one of the seemingly impossible finds that may not see another pair for some time. The seats are new reproductions, the valve covers are from either a single or R51/2. The engine is interesting in that instead of the standard 68mm bore, there are 72mm pistons on a standard stroke crank.

Thanks much for the pics! Looks to be a real beauty.




2 stroke porn… TZ750 and RD400 Daytona

I realize that I have another blog for 2 stroke bikes but someties something pops up over there that just transcends the genre. This picture (for me) is one of those times. If this doesn’t get your attention then… damm.. I just don’t know how to help you..


Update: 1968 "Montgomery Wards" 360 Mojave Benelli.

UPDATE: Apparently our favorite concept designer has been looking at these old beauties for inspiration!

From the days when you could buy a “real” motorcycle at a department store or out of a mail order catalog. What a fantastic example. And yes that’s a rebadged Benelli.

 

Now that’s my kind of parking lot.. KZ1000… and friends.

From the always entertaining “No Future Tokoyo“…

Sweet Ducat Scrambler 250… Too damm sexy..

God I love this little bike. How do the Italians do it exactly. Even in the early 60’s they could take a plain Jane scrambler and whip up something worthy of Sophia Loren… Fantastic-o!
