Wheeled to the back of a collection after only 962 miles, this lightweight Yamaha four-stroke could easily be returned to riding status. The only really sporting four-stroke 400 imported to the States, of the underwhelming total sales here, many were raced and subject to engine transplants. Showing a serious mid-size buy-it-now, this is a bike…
Update 5.2.2016: Seller has received a deposit. Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc The 400cc Honda NC30 has long lived in the shadow of its bigger brother. Not particularly fast, but definitely expensive then and now, there’s certainly a lot to like about the VFR400, but outright speed isn’t really on the list. Instead, you’re…
Applying technology from the bigger bikes in their line-up for the Japanese domestic market, the big four started a friendly competition among smaller bikes that spread back across the oceans where the big bikes ruled.

Eclipsed by the 600’s, or maybe just soft-pedaled by the factory as a domestic Japanese market special, the FZR400 lived out its eight-year stateside run in relative obscurity.

And this particular Alaskan Fizzer comes with spares. LOTS of spares. Yes, it has been tracked. Probably a ton of track days. But isn’t that the…
This is only the second Moto Morini Dart I’ve ever seen for sale and the first 350cc version. Maybe I just miss the the 80’s but damn it I’m really starting to like the looks. This is a super nice example of a one owner bike with only 7,500 km’s/miles. If you need a quick refresher, Cagiva owned Moto Morini at the time…
Redmond, WA – 25,106mi – $2,500 No Reserve There is a reason that this bike is still considered one of the best handling bikes… because they are. And how does a 59hp inline-four blasting its way to 14,000rpm sound? Sounds great to me! You get all of Yamaha’s trick goodies of the day including, but…
