Location: Dana Point, California Mileage: 6,513 Price: Auction, $14,999 BIN For older guys like me, MotoGp or really Grand Prix racing was all about the two stroke 500. I cut my teeth on guys like Kevin Schwantz and Wayne Rainey, Mick Doohan and the like. The two stroke machines were truly exotic for me as…
Things People Find In Barns: 1982 Suzuki Katana 750 W/682 Miles People will put the damnedest things in barns won’t they? I really doubt this was found in a barn but it sure sounds better than finding it under a tarp in a carport. Obviously this isn’t as lust worthy as a mint 1100 Katana…
Your chance to grab a special little bike but you will have some work to do. This is a 92 example which hasn’t been run for a while but as the seller points out the engine turns over. Could be a mechanics bargain. The Genesis frame made the bike look like a real racer and…

Now mind you ALL Gammas are objects worthy of our lust, but here is one wearing less common livery (ranking right up there with the Walter Wolf variety in rarity). The bike is very well kept,…
“B” Is For Bitchin: 1983 RGB500 MK8 That “B” means a lot, this isn’t your buddy’s RG500.

With no concessions to the EPA,…
For Sale: 1971 Yamaha TD3 This classic Yamaha TD3 was the forerunner to the TZ series of two stroke race bikes. The TD was essentially an over the counter, customer racer.
