Maybe you’re thinking, “That doesn’t look like any paint job I saw for a production Honda.” And you’d be right, but unless you had a factory ride, the Honda RS250 didn’t have any paint: they came with simple, bare white fairings, ready for any sponsor logos or graphics the team might want. The RS250 was…
The Honda CBR600F2 isn’t close to being a rare bike from a production standpoint-Honda sold over 50,000 600cc motorcycles from 1987-1993. While the 600cc sportbike market segment pretty much came into being with the original CBR600 F1/”Jelly mold” it was the F2 that made a lot of people consider the 600cc sportbike class as an actual…
Introduced in 1985, the Honda VF1000R could be thought of as a precursor to the legendary RC30, a low-production V4 homologation special. But while the later Honda sportbike is one of the most desirable machines of the modern era, the big VF has languished largely forgotten, although interest and values are on the rise. Specifications…
Rare as hen’s teeth here in the USA, Honda’s little RVF400 [NC35] superbike made it into the country exclusively through grey-market imports, often via Canada. The RVF400 replaced the VFR400 in 1994 and used a smaller version of the bigger 750cc bike’s gear-driven V4 engine. Like the 750, the 400 used a 360° “big-bang” firing…
The Honda CBR400RR we featured last week was never officially imported to the USA, but its naked stablemate the CB-1 was, although in pretty limited numbers and for just two years: 1989 and 1990. It was a strange choice for Honda to make in the land of extremes, where we only seem to like motorcycles…
1979 Honda CBX-1000 on eBay Honda produced the CBX-1000 from 1978-1982 and it was intended to be their flagship model… and how could it not be? With that big beautiful inline six and the trademark six headers it was showing off without even trying. The CBX made 102hp and with it’s surprisingly sharp handling, the big Honda was…
1982 Honda CX500 Turbo on eBay The 80s were a revolutionary time. Technology was crashing the old school party and promised to make everything better. The Honda CX500 Turbo was supposed to lead this charge, featuring fuel injection, a digital dash and a turbocharger that nearly doubled the horsepower of the standard CX500. It promised all of…
Looking very 90’s in Honda’s traditional red, white, and blue (hey, wait a minute..) paint scheme, this Honda NSR250R SP will hopefully mollify the two-stroke fans who didn’t like the older NSR we posted up earlier this week. The MC28 was introduced in 1993 and was up about 10lbs over the previous MC21. It was…
