The TT2 and later TT1. These spectacular machines were similar to Tony Rutter's four-time World TT2 Championship-winning TT2 racers. Modeled closely after the factory TT2, the production version also featured a 597cc engine using special two-ring Borgo pistons (weighing only 408 grams). via motorcyclespecs

MV Agusta 125

In good company with 125 MV Agusta Monoalbero racer from 1953. Both have their single ohc driven by gear cascade, both are 125cc, single cylinder, 4-speed, dry sump,separate oil tank. Very similar architecture of the two Italian beauties, but one is a Grand Prix racer and the other-one a humble but sporty commuter.

Vespa V125cc Sei Giorni


Piaggio introduced the Vespa Sei Giorni (Vespa six day) series in late 1951. It was fast and elegant and as its designation suggested was intended to mirror the qualities exhibited by the famed "GT" series of Italian motorcars of the period.

Kawasaki KZ750

Kawasaki KZ750
This bike sucked. like KZ650's and LOVE the KZ440 motor, but the KZ750 is just not for me. It has the same goofy early 80's styling as the CSR and is put together just as terribly.

1982 Honda CB650 SOHC 4

They are great mid sized bikes for all around use. It's lightweight for around town but powerful enough for long rides.

1980 Honda CM400T

1980 Honda CM400T
Honda CM400's are generally easy to come by but hold their value surprisingly well. Many first time buyers, particularly female rides, end up with a trusty CM 400. They're good bikes for learning and for smaller riders.

1971 BMW R60/5

1971 BMW R60/5
This is BMW R60. amazing bike these old BMW R60's are. They had shorter gearing than the R75 and so were actually a tad faster off the line. Of course thats completely irrelavant because these bikes are built to last, not to race. This bike had 93,000 miles on the odometer, though it did not have matching numbers.
