Re: those old Honda bikes on this page - I don't know how far they would go back to, but a word of caution if you ever take one to a dealership... Way back when I was young and didn't know how to work on bikes I had a CL200 which I guess needed a tire or something, so we took it to a dealership.

They replaced the twist-off gas cap with a key-locking one as some type of recall notice, and I hated that thing. If you let a Honda dealership have the bike at all, keep your gas cap with you; don't let those f@%$^'s take it.

This is so ridiculous, it's awesome. Make sure you get a nice open-face metal flake helmet to match.

That appears to be an original exhaust on it too. That's probably worth a grand by itself. Nicely done.

Bitchin' Honda chop. I wouldn't have been able to resist buying that.


Please save the paint.

That's quite a sissy bar.....you have to keep that on there. I'd use some "chrome" powdercoat to keep cost down.I'll be testing some High Heat powdercoat on some exhaust parts but will take a while before I can call it good or not.

Lets see the sword handle close up, wondering if they used proper cutler's rivets in brass.

got home after dark with it after the little 300 mile round trip. here it is in the light of day. triples are still honda so just need to find some forks, a front wheel and caliper.

300 bux and some elbow grease....took it 2000 miles on a trip in september from seattle to the nevada/oregon desert....had a few roadside fixes but otherwise ran great...



on the alvord dry lake bed
be careful out there,

i try to clean up for the ladies of southeast oregon.....

That's awesome! I'm envious. I wish I had the guts to take off and do that!

Hell, that's what I would probably sell mine for (if I were to part with it), but mine has 75K on it.

Rrrrrr. Stupid tapatalk.

1974 Honda CL360, $700


1985 Honda Nighthawk 700S, $1200


1983 Honda Magna V45, $200

Not in modern times, but,



$900 in '79 It's a '75 Ducati 860 GT, the way it's pictured is after I changed the look from stock-square style.



$250 in the mid 80's .1971 Ducati 450R/T



$600 in early 80's. It's a '62 Bonnieville.



$250 in '78 it's a '67 TR6 R that I made some modifications to.

I still have these. They're in my permanent collection.

Front page material here. Great looking shot.

Funny. I have a similar pic with a bike that I bought for I think $1400 or $1500

Let me know if you feel like doubling your money.

Those Tiger 750's are great bikes, congratulations of the deal of a lifetime.
