Radical Rukus.

At least I think it’s a Rukus. but a little more “naked” than even the stock one? Saw this in front of a local breakfast joint. Interesting.

Unobtanium “in the crate” zero miles 1977 CA77 $150,000 (starting bid) $250,000 (Buy it Now) Honda 305 Dream!

If this bike “fell in your lap”  Would you open it up?  Ride it even?  What do ya say?

 

Steve King sent me a link to this story and mentioned that it was also on E-bay (while it lasts).  See sScreenshot below.  All you can see of it is the crate.

One of a kind Honda 305 Dream. New in Crate,Never Opened. Never Titled, Never Registered.

Link Below is a Story in local Oklahoma Newspaper about this one of a kind motorcycle.

Dan Maxey, who started polishing motorcycles for his dad at about 9 years old and now owns the business, said their plan was to give away the Dream at an open house, or an anniversary celebration.

It never happened.

Jim Maxey died in 2005, leaving the fate of the motorcycle in Dan Maxey’s hands. He’s passing it on, too, to his son, Tony Maxey, sales manager for Maxey’s Cycles.

Custom CBX… Holy shhhh…..

To my horror I just discovered that this spectacular machine had been caught in my POS spam filter. Thank you mike for double checking with me on this and re-sending it! If anyone else out there feels that they sent in a particularly nice machine and are wondering why they haven’t seen it please feel free to double check with me in a follow up. I’m shocked at g-mail. it’s usually VERY reliable.

Ola Steve-O. Mike in Montreal here, again. Remember my SR500, that you were kind enough to post ( and my ‘killer’ 50/250) ? Seems the Yamaha might be seeing more of the world than me (Portland Oregon,Hawaii). All is not lost, however. I was busy this past winter, and just put the finishing touches on this. Its an ’82 CBX 1000. You can follow the build here;

Check out part 1-4, you might notice a slight difference in the bike as the build progressed.

I always had a itch to scratch regarding CBXs. I’m pretty chuffed how this one came out.
Highlights (?);
’05 GSXR1000 front end
’08 GSXR 1000 rear end
Rear subframe fabbed from my wife’s old lawn chair ( No, really, you can’t make this stuff up !)
Big-rig back-up lights for headlights
Ducati Monster seat
GSXR filler grafted onto the CBX tank
Coke bottle recycled into an oil vapor catch tank ( plumbed with stainless braided line initially intended for dishwashers)
Ducati braided oil line used as a tank breather
Tail light is a McGyvered ‘wing’ light from a Toyota Sienna
Floor lamp cut up for turn signal supports ( Honest !)
I only got out on it for a short run today, for the second time. WHAT a giggle to ride !

Another Exquisite Honda 500 Flattracker from Metro Racing!

It’s hard to believe that a bike that looks that great is actually being raced regularly!  The latest from “Donzilla” at Metro Racing!

Hey Steve;

I used this 500 Honda in a VMC Racing Frame this Saturday for a calendar shoot. It is the current points leader in the AMA National Vintage Dirt Track series in the 500 Masters class piloted by Craig Estelle. It’s next stop on the circuit will be at AMA Vintage Days in Ashland Ohio on Saturday the 21st.

Enjoy, Don

Sweet little 2001 Honda CB250 cafe racer.

From Paul Stanner

Here is a 2001 Honda CB250 cafe racer I built for someone a few years ago. Great little bikes. Didn’t really want to hand it over when it came time as it was some much fun to ride.
My site has a few more pics of the bike. http://www.drifterbikes.com/
Thanks for the time you take to keep your site running with interesting content and new builds.
Paul

My Pleasure Paul. And thanks for the pics!

Red White and Blue – Honda CB1100F

Posting will likely be very light tomorrow so here is your Fourth Of July Bike one day early! Have a good Fourth!

One of the early Hondas that started it all. The 1957 Honda Benly.

A nice example of a VERY early Honda.

The underappreciated Honda GB500.

This ones a beauty. 
Imagine where this bike might be if Honda had stuck with it a little longer.  Or Kawasaki with the W650… I guess Triumph gets all the spoils with the modern Bonneville.

A tough looking CB500T. That’s not a typo.

This one almost slipped past me in my spam filter for some reason. Sorry about that Robert. I love where you took it. More proof that you don’t need big bucks for a cool looking ride.

What to do with a CB 500T and some power tools you ask?

I made this thing a long time ago just messing around in my friends garage. I kept this bike out on the street in NYC and had been knocked over and fucked with so many times I decided to go with it. Rust seemed to make the bike look better. I etched out the pattern on the gas tank to make it look even more F-ed up and older while revealing the layers of paint. After all it’s just a CB 500T. Note the angle of the seat matches the frame rail so it looks more a part of the bike. I made it with scrap metal from the roof of junked Nissan 240sx. Hehehe
Great Site, love the bikes. I own a 71 Yamaha R5 350. Will send some pics of that soon.
Best,
Robert
