AN EXCEPTIONAL OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A NEW & FULLY CUSTOMIZED, AMERICAN-MADE BUELL HAMMERHEAD 1190 AT THOUSANDS LESS THAN REPLACEMENT COST! Feast your eyes on this absolutely spectacular 2024 Buell Hammerhead 1190 , finished in stunning white with exposed carbon fiber accents and loaded with virtually every premium performance and cosmetic upgrade you could want! With only approximately 241 original miles , this motorcycle is as close to brand new as you're going to find without paying the full price of a new machine and investing thousands more in accessories and customization. Powered by Buell's incredible 1190cc, 186-horsepower Helicon V-twin , this American superbike delivers breathtaking acceleration, outstanding handling, phenomenal braking, and one of the most visceral riding experiences of any production motorcycle. This particular example is exceptionally special. It features our Kaplan Cycles custom Stage 1 performance exhaust and matching tuner , a complete selection of carbon fiber upgrades, an Öhlins steering damper, quickshifter, upgraded radiator protection, factory lowered footpegs, and much more. Original replacement cost with the upgrades exceeds $25,000, and this machine is being offered at a substantial savings! PREMIUM PERFORMANCE & CUSTOM UPGRADES This Hammerhead has been tastefully equipped with an extensive collection of premium accessories, including: Kaplan Cycles Custom Performance Exhaust: Our custom exhaust system delivers an absolutely intoxicating V-twin soundtrack while complementing the aggressive styling of the Hammerhead. Stage 1 Performance Tuner: Matching tuning upgrade to complement the performance exhaust system. Carbon Fiber Front Fender: Premium lightweight carbon fiber with beautiful exposed weave. Carbon Fiber Rear Fender: Matching premium rear carbon fiber upgrade. Öhlins Steering Damper: High-quality steering stabilization for improved control and confidence. Quickshifter: Allows rapid gear changes and makes full use of the extraordinary power delivery of the 1190cc V-twin. R&G Radiator and Oil Cooler Guards: Premium protective screens designed to protect the motorcycle's cooling components from road debris. Powerbronze Smoked Windscreen: Short, dark-tinted sport windscreen that perfectly complements the white bodywork and carbon fiber. Buell Factory Lowered Footpegs: Improved rider ergonomics and additional legroom. Upgraded Shift Lever: Complements the factory lowered peg arrangement. Tail Tidy Kit: Cleans up the entire rear section and gives the motorcycle a much more aggressive appearance. Custom Open Lower Fairing Configuration: The lower fairing has been removed for improved exhaust clearance, heat management, and a more aggressive appearance. A replacement lower fairing can be sourced separately at additional cost to the buyer if desired. The result is one of the most attractive and thoroughly upgraded Hammerhead 1190 motorcycles we've had the pleasure of offering. THE LEGENDARY 186-HORSEPOWER HELICON V-TWIN At the heart of this machine is Buell's spectacular 1190cc liquid-cooled, fuel-injected V-twin engine. Producing a claimed 186 horsepower , this is one of the most powerful American-made production sportbike engines ever developed. The roots of this incredible powerplant trace back to Erik Buell's revolutionary 1125 series, which introduced the liquid-cooled Helicon V-twin platform. Unlike the earlier Harley-Davidson Sportster-derived Buell engines, the Helicon was developed specifically for high-performance sport motorcycle applications. The modern 1190 represents years of development and evolution, delivering extraordinary horsepower, massive torque, responsive fuel injection, and breathtaking acceleration. Having personally ridden numerous Buells over the decades, I can tell you this is one of the most exciting motorcycles I've ever had the pleasure of riding. The combination of this incredible V-twin engine, custom performance exhaust, and quickshifter makes every acceleration run an unforgettable experience. The sound alone is absolutely intoxicating! ERIK BUELL'S ENGINEERING GENIUS What makes the Hammerhead 1190 so remarkable isn't simply the horsepower. It's the groundbreaking engineering philosophy behind the entire motorcycle. Erik Buell's design approach emphasized three essential principles: mass centralization, low unsprung weight, and chassis rigidity. The Hammerhead incorporates these philosophies throughout its construction. Fuel-in-Frame Technology: The massive aluminum perimeter frame doubles as the motorcycle's fuel reservoir, allowing the weight of the fuel to be carried low and centrally within the chassis. Ram-Air Intake System: What appears to be a conventional fuel tank is actually part of the large airbox and intake arrangement, with prominent air ducts feeding the engine. Mass Centralization: The engine, exhaust system, and major components are positioned to concentrate mass near the motorcycle's center of gravity. Lightweight Wheel Design: Carefully engineered wheels help reduce rotating mass and improve handling response. ZTL Front Braking System: Buell's patented Zero Torsional Load front brake features a massive perimeter-mounted brake rotor attached near the outer edge of the front wheel rather than to the center hub. This innovative system reduces braking loads through the wheel spokes and utilizes an enormous eight-piston front brake caliper for exceptional stopping performance. High-Performance Chassis: Massive CNC-machined aluminum triple clamps, premium suspension components, aggressive sportbike geometry, and modern performance tires complete the package. The result is an extraordinarily responsive

Finished in sinister gloss and matte black with carefully selected premium upgrades, this R7 has an incredibly clean, cohesive, “murdered-out” appearance. The previous owner was exceptionally meticulous and ceramic-coated the motorcycle Several times. That level of care is immediately apparent: the paint and bodywork shine beautifully, the chain and sprockets are exceptionally clean, and the upgraded Michelin tires are new. Every upgrade was selected with quality and appearance in mind, and everything was installed cleanly. The result is a brand new R7 with tasteful enhancements that would cost a substantial amount to duplicate. Premium Upgrades ASV adjustable brake and clutch levers Rizoma lever guards Rizoma rear stand spools NRC integrated taillight and fender-eliminator kit Genuine Yamaha color-matched rear seat cowl Original passenger seat included Puig smoked windscreen Premium Michelin performance tires Tank and knee-grip pads Black powder-coated exhaust heat shield Black powder-coated exhaust-tip cover Ceramic-coated finish maintained by its previous owner The NRC integrated taillight eliminates the oversized factory rear fender and combines the taillight and turn signals into a clean, streamlined package. The genuine Yamaha rear cowl replaces the passenger seat for a purposeful solo-rider appearance, while the included original seat allows the motorcycle to be returned to two-passenger configuration. The smoked Puig windscreen, black powder-coated exhaust components, Rizoma hardware, and premium ASV levers complement the factory black finish perfectly. Nearly every visible component follows the blacked-out theme, allowing the chrome Yamaha tuning-fork emblems to stand out like jewelry against the tank. The Yamaha R7 The YZF-R7 is widely considered one of the best middleweight sport motorcycles on the market. Rather than chasing the extreme peak horsepower of a traditional four-cylinder 600cc supersport, Yamaha designed the R7 around its proven 689cc CP2 parallel-twin engine. Its 270-degree crossplane-style crankshaft gives the engine a distinctive character, strong low- and midrange torque, and a deep exhaust note—especially when paired with an aftermarket exhaust system. Producing 73 horsepower and 49 lb-ft of torque, the R7 delivers smooth, accessible power that is exciting on a back road without being exhausting in everyday use. The CP2 engine has earned an outstanding reputation for reliability, fuel economy, and low maintenance costs. It is the same basic engine architecture used in Yamaha’s enormously successful MT-07, but the R7 surrounds it with considerably more focused suspension, braking, chassis, and aerodynamic equipment. Tyler, Our highly experienced R7 rider inspected this motorcycle with us and confirmed just how clean and tastefully upgraded it is. His own CP2-powered R7 has accumulated more than 20,000 miles of extremely demanding riding without any issues—a strong testament to the durability of Yamaha’s CP2 platform. Chassis and Performance The R7’s lightweight steel frame and narrow parallel-twin engine produce a slim, balanced motorcycle that is easy to place through corners. Compared with the softer MT-07, the R7 offers a much more precise and controlled riding experience. Factory equipment includes: Fully adjustable 41mm KYB inverted front fork Adjustable linked rear monoshock Dual 298mm front brake rotors Radial-mounted front brake calipers Brembo radial front master cylinder Six-speed transmission Assist-and-slipper clutch Anti-lock braking system LED lighting LCD instrument display Factory wiring for Yamaha’s optional quick shifter The slipper clutch helps prevent rear-wheel hop or lockup during aggressive downshifts, giving the rider greater confidence when entering a corner. Yamaha also prewired the motorcycle for its optional quick shifter, making that an easy future upgrade for anyone who wants an even more track-focused setup. The R7 keeps its electronic package refreshingly straightforward. It includes ABS and a slipper clutch but does not rely on multiple ride modes, traction control, wheelie control, an inertial measurement unit, or cornering ABS. For riders who prefer a direct mechanical connection with the motorcycle, that simplicity is one of the R7’s greatest strengths. Factory Specifications Engine: 689cc liquid-cooled CP2 parallel twin Crankshaft: 270-degree crossplane-style Horsepower: Approximately 73 HP Torque: Approximately 49 lb-ft Transmission: Six-speed Wet weight: Approximately 414 pounds Seat height: Approximately 32.9 inches Fuel capacity: 3.4 gallons Estimated fuel economy: Up to 58 MPG 0–60 MPH: Approximately 3.5–3.8 seconds Quarter mile: Under 12 seconds under favorable conditions Estimated top speed: 135–140 MPH, depending on rider and conditions The R7’s greatest strength is not simply its top speed—it is how approachable and enjoyable the motorcycle is. Strong torque arrives early, the power delivery is smooth, the chassis feels light and responsive, and the riding position is more manageable than many uncompromising supersport machines. It is fast enough to be genuinely exciting, capable enough for track days, and friendly enough to ride regularly. This is the kind of sport bike that encourages you to put on miles rather than wanting to park it after twenty minutes. Condition This R7 is literally absolutely perfect and showroom new, truly exceptional. It arrived at our dealership in such outstanding condition that it required virtually none of the usual cosmetic reconditioning associated with a preowned motorcycle. The bodywork, controls,

LEGENDARY KAWASAKI KLR650 RELIABILITY The Kawasaki KLR650 has earned a worldwide reputation as one of the most durable, versatile, and dependable dual-sport motorcycles ever manufactured. For decades, riders have trusted the KLR650 to carry them across continents, down remote gravel roads, through mountain passes, and on daily commutes. The heart of this machine is Kawasaki's legendary 652cc liquid-cooled, four-stroke single-cylinder engine , now equipped with modern electronic fuel injection for reliable starting, smooth throttle response, and consistent performance. Its simple, proven engine design, strong torque delivery, and straightforward maintenance requirements have made the KLR650 a favorite among serious adventure travelers. Many owners have documented extremely high-mileage examples, including machines exceeding 100,000 miles. This motorcycle was built to be ridden, enjoyed, and maintained for years to come. MODERN ADVENTURE TOURING CAPABILITY The latest-generation KLR650 combines decades of proven engineering with substantial modern improvements. Features include: 652cc liquid-cooled, fuel-injected single-cylinder engine Five-speed manual transmission Electric starting Large-capacity fuel tank, approximately 6.1 gallons Long-travel suspension Comfortable upright riding position Protective front fairing and windscreen Modern LED headlight Digital instrumentation Factory-style handguards Wide, motocross-inspired handlebars Front and rear disc brakes Passenger seat and passenger footpegs Large rear luggage rack Center stand fitted to this motorcycle Highway-capable dual-sport performance The generously sized fuel tank provides excellent touring range, while the wide fairing and tall windscreen offer significantly improved wind protection over earlier generations. The plush suspension absorbs rough pavement, expansion joints, potholes, and uneven back roads with ease. Whether you're commuting to work, cruising through the countryside, exploring dirt roads, or heading out on a multi-day adventure, the KLR650 is an outstanding all-around motorcycle. EXCEPTIONAL STREET-ONLY CONDITION What really separates this particular KLR650 from most used dual-sport motorcycles is its history. ONE OWNER. ONLY 2,500 MILES. NEVER USED OFF-ROAD. Most adventure motorcycles eventually see dirt, gravel, mud, or rough trails. This one was used exclusively on the street by its original owner. That means the beautiful factory red and black finish remains remarkably well-preserved, without the usual trail damage to the fairings and other exposed components. The lowered suspension and Delkevic exhaust make this example particularly attractive for riders planning to spend most of their time on pavement. And with its comfortable seating position and generous passenger accommodations, it's also an excellent choice for two-up riding and weekend touring.

Suzuki kept the formula simple: build a lightweight, incredibly durable single-cylinder four-stroke motorcycle that is inexpensive to own, easy to maintain, fun to ride, and capable of taking an incredible amount of abuse. The DR-Z400 has earned a reputation as one of the most dependable single-cylinder four-strokes ever produced. It is the ultimate around-town, backroad, commuter, super moto and all-around fun machine. This 2024 example has only 4,497 miles and was owned by a friend of ours with a young family who simply didn't have much time to ride it. It was primarily used for casual riding around town and remains in excellent condition. The blacked-out styling looks fantastic, with a black frame, black bodywork, gray graphics and factory black 17-inch wheels. It gives the bike a thoroughly modern, aggressive appearance while retaining the simple, proven mechanical package that made the DR-Z famous. LEGENDARY DR-Z400 PLATFORM At the heart of the DR-Z is Suzuki's proven single-cylinder, four-stroke, dual-overhead-cam engine. It features: Electric start Single-carburetor simplicity Dual overhead cams Proven four-stroke engine design Excellent fuel economy Lightweight chassis Strong brakes Long-travel, performance-oriented suspension Massive aftermarket support One of the great things about owning a DR-Z400 is how easy they are to personalize. Because Suzuki produced variations of this platform for so many years—including dirt, dual-sport and supermoto versions—the aftermarket is enormous. Want more power? Big-bore kits, carburetor upgrades and exhaust systems are readily available. Want to change the look? There are endless body kits, graphics packages, lighting kits and accessories. Want to leave it exactly the way it is? This one is ready to ride right now. TASTEFUL UPGRADES This motorcycle already has several nice upgrades, including: Trail Master radial tires front and rear Factory black 17-inch wheels Rear luggage rack Black and gray ribbed seat cover NRC tail tidy kit Skid protection Passenger footpegs Full street equipment The NRC tail tidy cleans up the rear of the motorcycle nicely and gives it a much sportier appearance. The luggage rack also makes this a much more practical motorcycle if you plan on commuting, running errands or doing longer rides. EXCELLENT ORIGINAL CONDITION The motorcycle has clearly been babied. The original: Handlebars Turn signals Plastics Graphics Fuel tank Controls Mirrors are all intact and present well. The fuel tank is especially nice, with beautiful paint and no signs that this motorcycle was subjected to serious off-road use. The bike came to us in such good condition that very little was required. It starts easily and runs exactly like it should. The: Battery Tires Chain Sprockets Brakes Suspension are all in very good usable condition. It Just needs a new owner. The DR-Z400 chassis and suspension were developed with serious dirt-bike DNA. The suspension design shares its heritage with Suzuki's RM-series motocross machines, giving the DR-Z considerably more suspension capability than the average street motorcycle. This is a motorcycle that can comfortably handle: Rough New England roads City riding Backroads Commuting Weekend rides Gravel roads Curbs and uneven pavement Light adventure riding It is lightweight, maneuverable and an absolute blast to ride. Whether you're an experienced rider or simply looking for something uncomplicated and reliable, there is a reason so many people keep their DR-Zs for years. We've seen extremely high-mileage examples continue to provide dependable daily transportation because the basic design is so proven. CHEAP TO OWN – EASY TO LIVE WITH Another huge advantage of the DR-Z400 is the cost of ownership. These motorcycles are: Fuel efficient Inexpensive to register Generally inexpensive to insure Easy to service Easy to find parts for Simple mechanically Extremely durable Parts availability is excellent because Suzuki produced the DR-Z platform for such a long period of time. There is also an enormous enthusiast community and aftermarket supporting these machines. READY FOR TWO-UP RIDING Unlike some minimalist super motos, this motorcycle retains its passenger pegs and has a saddle large enough for occasional two-up riding. Ride it to work during the week and take your passenger down to the beach on the weekend. You've also got: Keyed ignition Locking fuel cap Mirrors Simple digital instrumentation Excellent brakes Full street equipment It's everything you need without unnecessary complexity. CONDITION DISCLOSURE There are a couple of cosmetic scratches on one side panel and some light scratching on the muffler. We could have replaced the side panel or refinished the muffler, but there was no reason to unnecessarily increase the cost of the motorcycle. The important areas—particularly the fuel tank, chassis and overall bodywork—present extremely well. The motorcycle does not show the kind of wear you normally see on a machine that has spent its life being ridden aggressively off-road. Instead, it presents exactly like what it is: a very lightly used, adult-owned motorcycle with only 4,497 miles. Buy a brand-new motorcycle and depreciation starts the moment you roll it out of the dealership. This DR-Z400 gives you the opportunity to own an extremely clean, late-model example with several useful upgrades already installed while avoiding much of that initial depreciation. The bike is ready to ride immediately. No waiting for parts. No accessory installation. No project. Just turn the key, hit the electric starter and go have some fun. If you've owned a

Paste link into a browser window: [isdntekvideo] 2024 SUZUKI GSX-8R Absolutely Pristine Showroom New Condition 584 Miles New Upgraded Michelin Tires & Tail Tidy This GSX-8R is absolutely pristine. It is brand new condition and already has two premium upgrades most owners would want: Premium Michelin tires front and rear Professionally installed tail-tidy kit Between the Michelin tires, tail-tidy kit, parts, and dealer installation, you could spend close to $1,000 duplicating these upgrades on a new motorcycle. Here, they are already installed and ready to enjoy. Bidirectional quick shifter Full Suzuki Intelligent Ride System electronics package Showa inverted front suspension Full LED lighting Excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition This bike was recently traded at Kaplan Cycles toward a new Ducati Panigale. It cost its previous owner more than $11,000 out the door with the upgrades, it is now available for thousands less, out the door Price. If you want the aggressive appearance of a modern supersport but don’t want to be folded up like a pretzel every time you ride, the GSX-8R deserves a serious look. Suzuki gave the GSX-8R the full-fairing appearance and unmistakable silhouette of a high-performance sport bike while retaining relatively comfortable, real-world ergonomics. Its handlebars are positioned considerably higher than those of a GSX-R600 or GSX-R750, creating a more upright and manageable riding position. You get the look of a full-on superbike without the extreme riding position normally associated with one. This is a motorcycle you can enjoy for hours without feeling like you need a chiropractor when you get home. Torquey 776cc Parallel-Twin Engine At the heart of the GSX-8R is Suzuki’s 776cc liquid-cooled DOHC parallel-twin engine with a 270-degree crankshaft. That crankshaft configuration gives the engine a more aggressive character and exhaust note than a traditional parallel twin. More importantly, it delivers strong low-end and midrange torque—exactly where most riders use their power on the street. You don’t have to rev this motorcycle to the moon to make it move. Crack the throttle and it pulls hard, making the GSX-8R responsive, exciting, and exceptionally usable in everyday riding. Power is delivered through a six-speed transmission equipped with one of this motorcycle’s best standard features: a bidirectional quick shifter. You can shift up or down without operating the clutch once underway. After getting accustomed to it, you may never want to go back. Advanced Suzuki Electronics Suzuki equipped the GSX-8R with a comprehensive suite of rider technology, including: Ride-by-wire throttle Selectable power-delivery modes Multi-level traction control Bidirectional quick shifter Suzuki Easy Start System Low RPM Assist Suzuki Intelligent Ride System Whether you’re an experienced rider who wants to reduce the electronic intervention or someone moving into a first serious middleweight sport bike, the GSX-8R can be adjusted to complement your riding style and experience level. More Than a GSX-8S With Fairings The GSX-8R is not simply a GSX-8S with additional bodywork. In addition to its striking full fairing, the 8R receives a Showa SFF-BP inverted front fork, giving it a planted, precise feel when the road gets twisty. Up front, dual brake discs with radial-mounted four-piston calipers provide strong, confidence-inspiring stopping performance. Visually, it has a thoroughly modern Suzuki identity. The vertically stacked LED headlights, sharply sculpted fairings, compact tail section, and aggressive sport-bike profile give it serious presence from every angle. Real-World Performance Key specifications include: 776cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine 270-degree crankshaft Six-speed transmission Bidirectional quick shifter Approximately 31.9-inch seat height Approximately 3.7-gallon fuel capacity Approximately 452-pound curb weight Showa SFF-BP inverted front fork Dual front discs with radial four-piston calipers Full LED lighting The GSX-8R sits in a real-world sweet spot. It feels substantial and stable at highway speeds, yet remains light and agile enough to throw through a winding back road or enjoy during a track day. The Perfect Step-Up Motorcycle If you’re coming from a Kawasaki Ninja 400 or 500, Yamaha YZF-R3, KTM RC 390, or another smaller-displacement motorcycle, the GSX-8R is an excellent next step—and one you are unlikely to outgrow quickly. At the same time, it offers enough performance and chassis capability to keep a highly experienced rider entertained on the street or track. The GSX-8R doesn’t try to be a 190-horsepower superbike. Instead, it delivers performance you can actually use. You can open the throttle, work the transmission, run through the gears, and experience the motorcycle’s capabilities without traveling at outrageous speeds everywhere you go. Add Suzuki’s longstanding reputation for durability, reliability, straightforward maintenance, and relatively affordable ownership, and you have one of the smartest real-world sport bikes Suzuki has introduced in years. Why Buy This GSX-8R? Pristine, virtually showroom-new cosmetic condition Expensive Michelin tire upgrade Tail-tidy kit already installed Aggressive full-fairing supersport styling Comfortable real-world ergonomics Strong and usable 776cc performance Standard bidirectional quick shifter Adjustable rider electronics Upgraded Showa front suspension Suzuki reliability and comparatively affordable ownership Thousands less than duplicating this package with a brand-new motorcycle You do not need to spend $15,000 or $20,000 to own an exciting, technologically advanced sport bike. This GSX-8R represents an exceptional value. It’s beautiful, fast, comfortable, loaded with technology, and—most importantly—it is a motorcycle you can get out and enjoy every day.

This is not a rebuilt used Banshee motor and it is certainly not your average big-bore engine. This engine was professionally assembled from the cases up using brand-new components , with more than $13,196 invested in the complete build and parts package in February 2023 . We have approximately four pages of receipts documenting the build, and copies will be included with the sale. The owner originally commissioned this engine for a high-end, frame-off-restored Yamaha Banshee but ultimately did not install it. His Loss Your Gain; BRAND NEW — ZERO RUNTIME The engine has never been installed and has never been started since assembly . There are no used engine cases, no old transmission being reused, and no mystery internal components. This was built from the beginning as a serious, premium-performance engine using new Yamaha OEM components and some of the best aftermarket parts available. 472cc CHEETAH SUPERCUB ENGINE At the heart of the package is a CPI Cheetah Supercub 472cc combination featuring: 72mm plated Cheetah Supercub cylinder Custom 72mm Wiseco Race Choice pistons 4mm stroker crankshaft Stage 4 cylinder porting Engine cases bored and ported to match Polished cylinder Billet Supercub cylinder head 30cc domes Max-Loc head studs Extensive titanium hardware This is a serious, professionally assembled high-performance two-stroke package designed for someone who wants considerably more than a conventional Banshee engine. BRAND-NEW ENGINE CASES & INTERNAL COMPONENTS The build goes far beyond simply installing a big-bore top end. This package received brand-new Yamaha engine cases , along with an extensive list of new internal components including: Complete new transmission Modified shift cam Modified shift shaft Upgraded bearings and seals Extensive new Yamaha OEM internal components Billet water-pump impeller Premium hardware throughout Everything was designed and assembled as a complete system rather than pieced together from miscellaneous used components.

OEM YAMAHA IGNITION Rather than cutting corners on the electrical system, the engine was built with genuine Yamaha ignition components including: OEM Yamaha stator OEM Yamaha flywheel MATCHED SHEARER PERFORMANCE EXHAUST SYSTEM Also included is the performance exhaust system selected specifically to complement this engine combination. The package includes the chrome Shearer Performance pipes , along with the associated: Pipe springs Mounting hardware Exhaust hardware This means you're not buying only a bare engine and then spending thousands more trying to source the intake, carbs, exhaust and supporting components necessary to complete the build. The major pieces are already here. COMPLETE PACKAGE INCLUDES Included with the sale are the engine and supporting components shown, including: 472cc Cheetah Supercub engine 72mm plated Supercub cylinder 4mm stroker crank Billet Supercub head 30cc domes Stage 4 ported cylinder Port-matched engine cases New Yamaha engine cases New transmission Hinson seven-plate clutch Lock-up clutch system Polished Modquad clutch cover Billet water-pump components V-Force 4 reeds Dual genuine Keihin 35mm PWK carburetors Billet intake manifold Dual high-flow filters Filter covers Braided throttle cable Fuel-line components Silicone hoses OEM Yamaha stator OEM Yamaha flywheel Chrome Shearer Performance exhaust pipes Pipe springs and hardware Chrome kickstarter Chrome shifter Extensive titanium hardware Build documentation and receipts Please review all photographs carefully for the exact components included with the sale. OVER $15,000 REPLACEMENT COST AND MONTHS WAITING The documented total for this engine package was approximately: $13,196 in February 2023 And that was more than three years ago. IT HAS BEEN STORED IN HIS HOUSE WRAPPED IN BLANKETS IN A COOLER SINCE BUILT IT IS BRAND NEW, PERFECT AND SPOTLESS Considering the increased cost of INFLATION on components, machine work, labor and shipping, duplicating this exact specification today could reasonably cost considerably more. There are less-expensive Supercub packages available, but they begin with a 2 existing used Banshee engine and reuse portions of that engine. That is fundamentally different from this package. This engine was built using brand-new cases, new transmission components, new internal components, premium aftermarket hardware and an extensive list of upgrades .

Selling my 2020 Beta Xtrainer 300, a two-stroke enduro set up for rocky woods riding. Bill of sale only. I didn’t receive a title when I bought the bike and don’t have one to transfer. I’ve taken it out for about six or seven woods rides since I bought it. The odometer currently reads zero despite that use, so the bike’s actual mileage is unknown. I also can’t verify total engine hours. The Shinko Cheater tires have less than 200 miles on them and are fitted with mousse inserts. The bike has a Motoes skid plate with an integrated expansion chamber guard, plus radiator guards from the same company. It also has handguards and Stag Pegz. Overall, the bike is in really nice shape. The left front plastic and the switch housing each have a crack. I’m happy to send close-up photos of either spot or anything else you’d like to see.

It is a beautifully preserved example of Harley-Davidson styling, heritage, Americana and craftsmanship, with an extraordinary collection of genuine Harley-Davidson accessories and high-end custom components. The current owner purchased this motorcycle new and accumulated only 4,000 miles . A true enthusiast and perfectionist, he spared no expense transforming the motorcycle into an exceptionally detailed, highly accessorized example. Documentation and invoices indicate more than $36,000 was invested in the motorcycle and its accessories . The result is a Softail Deluxe that belongs in a museum collection or modern art gallery. A truly stunning head turner, a museum quality investment piece. A Direct Link to Harley-Davidson Heritage The FLSTN Deluxe is one of those motorcycles that immediately looks like a Harley-Davidson should look. Its styling pays tribute to classic Harley-Davidson FL models, particularly the iconic late-1940s motorcycles. The substantial front fender, large whitewall tires, chrome-spoke wheels, traditional tank-mounted instrumentation, tombstone-style taillight and sweeping lines all contribute to a distinctly traditional Harley-Davidson appearance. This motorcycle also has a special connection to the 1993 Harley-Davidson FLSTN "Cow Glide," another historically significant Softail in the collection at the New England Motorcycle Museum. The similarities in styling and paint treatment make the lineage between these motorcycles particularly interesting. It's a modern Harley-Davidson that unmistakably carries the visual DNA of the company's classic FL heritage. $36,000+ Invested ~ Buy It Now at 50% Off It is a Steal at the Buy It Now Price THAT IS HALF THE AMOUNT INVESTED This bike is fully depreciated and is now at the point the value is rising every year, a perfect investment, buy it for half the cost of new and watch it grow in value every year while you get to enjoy it!

Paste link into a browser window: [isdntekvideo] 2005 HONDA CR500 ALUMINUM FRAME CONVERSION Stunning Frame Off Restoration With A Fresh New Engine There are two things you absolutely need before attempting to build a proper aluminum-frame CR500 conversion: a mint frame and an exceptional CR500 engine. This bike started with both. Take a look underneath it and you'll immediately see what we're talking about. The aluminum frame rails are exceptionally clean and the bottom of the original Honda CR500 engine cases are beautiful. The swingarm, front wheel and other original components show the same thing; Mint & Original. The result is a fresh custom aluminum-frame CR500 powered by a completely rebuilt CR500 Engine Loaded With Performance Upgrades Including the Millar Race Engineering Cylinder, fitted with premium suspension, controls, exhaust, wheels, brakes and one-off Kaplan Cycles graphics. 70 hours of professional shop labor at our current $150/hour rate went into this machine = $10,500 in labor plus more than $5,200 in new parts, for approximately $15,700 invested in the restoration and build before even factoring in the value of the CR500 engine and aluminum-frame core. This is a serious, fresh, track-ready CR500 build. MILLAR RACE ENGINEERING CR500 CYLINDER The engine is the centerpiece of this motorcycle. We had a Millar Race Engineering cylinder in inventory, we were saving it for the right build. Adam Millar is one of the most respected names in high-performance CR500 engine development, and his custom porting package is designed to deliver something far more important than simply producing a giant peak horsepower number. It makes usable power. Some highly modified CR500 cylinders can produce impressive dyno numbers but become difficult to ride on a motocross track. This Millar setup is different. It begins pulling extremely hard from lower in the RPM range than a stock CR500 and continues pulling beyond where the stock engine signs off. The powerband is massive. A professional motocross racer who test rode this machine described it as the fastest motorcycle he had ever ridden. Engine build includes: Fresh Millar Race Engineering performance cylinder with Full c ustom porting package New piston New piston rings New base gasket New Modified cylinder head for increased compression Engine cases split and completely rebuilt Vapor-honed crankcases New crankshaft New connecting rod New crank bearings New crank seals Completely new clutch assembly New shifter seal New kickstarter seal Rebuilt water pump New water-pump seals and gaskets New engine gaskets throughout New engine seals throughout New engine hardware Rebuilt and polished kickstarter Boyesen Factory Racing ignition cover Boyesen Factory Racing clutch cover Boyesen reed valves Brand-new Twin Air filter Pro Circuit CR500AF expansion chamber Pro Circuit Factory Sound stainless/aluminum silencer From the bottom of the crankcases to the top of the cylinder head, this engine has been Completely Rebuilt. It is all brand new inside. The engine presently has only three heat cycles and approximately Ten minutes of ride time following completion. PRO CIRCUIT CR500AF EXHAUST The bike is fitted with a genuine Pro Circuit AF exhaust system, specifically designed for CR500 aluminum-frame conversions. The expansion chamber carries the AF designation and is paired with the matching Pro Circuit Factory Sound silencer. It sounds exactly like a properly built CR500 should. Deep, crisp and absolutely ferocious when it comes onto the pipe. We run this machine on VP Racing race fuel, which is recommended due to the higher-compression cylinder-head configuration. ALUMINUM FRAME & CHASSIS One of the biggest factors in determining whether an aluminum-frame CR500 build is worth doing is the condition of the chassis. This one was the right candidate. The lower frame rails are exceptionally clean. The rails were polished and the remainder of the aluminum frame was carefully Scotch-Brited to restore its original appearance. The original swingarm is equally impressive. Chassis service includes: Polished frame rails Scotch-Brited aluminum frame Steering-head bearings inspected and regreased Swingarm bearings serviced Linkage bearings serviced All Chassis bearings and bushings inspected & lubricated Excellent original swingarm Extensive new chassis hardware When you see clean frame rails, a clean swingarm and a clean original front wheel, those are all good indicators of the type of life a motorcycle lived before restoration. This one started with excellent bones. COMPLETELY REBUILT SUSPENSION The suspension has been completely serviced front and rear.

The completely redesigned 2002 CR250R introduced Honda’s third-generation twin-spar aluminum chassis, an all-new 249cc case-reed engine, and electronically controlled RC exhaust valve. This combination delivered outstanding handling, a broad and manageable powerband, and approximately 52 horsepower at the crank. The platform remained in production through 2007, marking the end of Honda’s iconic CR250R two-stroke dynasty. The 2002 season also became one of the most historic in American motocross. Riding the Honda CR250R, Ricky Carmichael won all 12 rounds and swept an unprecedented 24 of 24 motos in the AMA 250 Motocross Championship—one of the most dominant perfect seasons in the history of the sport. This machine has been finished with a complete number-four Ricky Carmichael tribute graphics package honoring that incredible achievement. Complete Frame-Up Restoration This low-hour original was taken completely down to the frame and professionally restored. Every major component, nut, bolt, and system was inspected, serviced, rebuilt, restored, or replaced as necessary. More than $4,500 was invested in new parts, along with approximately 40 hours of professional shop labor at $150 per hour. The total investment in the restoration exceeds $10,500. Since completion, the motorcycle has only been ridden briefly up and down a driveway for testing. It has not been ridden on a motocross track.

Pro Circuit Performance Exhaust This CR250R has been upgraded with a complete Pro Circuit exhaust system consisting of: Pro Circuit Works expansion chamber Pro Circuit R304 Factory Sound shorty silencer The R304 shorty gives the CR250R incredibly crisp throttle response, an aggressive power delivery, and that unmistakable factory two-stroke sound. This motorcycle absolutely barks and pulls extremely hard. Suspension, Wheels and Brakes The chassis and running gear received extensive attention: Rebuilt 47mm Showa inverted forks New fork bushings New fork seals Fresh fork oil Original Showa rear shock in excellent condition Brand-new Impact lightweight aluminum wheel set Anodized red wheel hubs Brand-new front brake rotor Rebuilt front braking system New front brake pads Fresh brake fluid Brand-new front and rear tires Brand-new Renthal front and rear sprockets Brand-new gold Renthal chain Upgraded wide foot pegs The original frame is in outstanding condition.

Carmichael also captured the 2002 AMA Supercross Championship, sweeping both major championships for Honda. The 2002 CR250R featured Honda's third-generation twin-spar aluminum frame, a redesigned 249cc case-reed two-stroke engine, and an electronically controlled RC exhaust power valve. With a reported dry weight of just 193 pounds, the CR250R delivered extraordinary power-to-weight performance, razor-sharp handling, and championship-winning capability. And the example offered here is truly exceptional! MUSEUM-QUALITY ORIGINAL SURVIVOR — NOT A RESTORATION! This CR250R is an extraordinarily well-preserved original survivor that has spent much of its life carefully stored and displayed. It has been ridden but never raced.

The aluminum frame rails and swingarm are in remarkably pristine condition, with virtually none of the typical wear associated with a 24-year-old motocross machine. The radiators are straight, the wheelset is beautiful, and the original footpegs show minimal wear. The plastics have not been replaced, the graphics remain intact, and the original fork protectors have avoided the discoloration typically seen on these machines. This is the kind of originality that simply cannot be recreated with a restoration PRO CIRCUIT EXHAUST & V-FORCE PERFORMANCE UPGRADES This CR250R retains its original engine while benefiting from two highly desirable performance upgrades: Pro Circuit Performance Exhaust: Delivers that unmistakable two-stroke bark with crisp, aggressive power delivery. V-Force Performance Reed Valve: Improves intake response and complements the Pro Circuit exhaust.

AN END-OF-AN-ERA TWO-STROKE LEGEND! ONE OF THE FINAL FULL RESTORATIONS BY KAPLAN CYCLES' LEGENDARY MASTER TECHNICIAN, "THE WIZARD"! Feast your eyes on this absolutely spectacular 2002 Honda CR250R, a legendary two-stroke motocross machine that has undergone a comprehensive, professional, frame-off restoration by one of Kaplan Cycles' most experienced master technicians, affectionately known as "The Wizard." This is no ordinary vintage motocross bike. This is an extensively rebuilt, meticulously detailed, Ricky Carmichael-inspired CR250R with 70 hours of professional restoration labor, $3,751 in new parts, and a total documented investment of $14,251! From the completely rebuilt engine with a brand-new Hot Rods crankshaft and Millennium Technologies Nikasil-plated cylinder to the rebuilt Showa suspension, custom red anodized hubs, Pro Circuit exhaust, fresh Dunlop MX34 tires, and Ricky Carmichael replica graphics, this Honda represents an extraordinary amount of craftsmanship, attention to detail, and investment. And here's what makes this one particularly special: This is expected to be one of the very last complete frame-off Honda two-stroke restorations performed by The Wizard. After decades of turning out extraordinary motorcycles and routinely working 40–60 hours per week at Kaplan Cycles, The Wizard has entered semi-retirement, now working only approximately 8–12 hours per week. His specialty has always been Honda two-stroke motocross motorcycles, and this CR250R represents the culmination of a lifetime of mechanical experience, craftsmanship, and passion. Opportunities to purchase motorcycles built to this standard by this particular craftsman are becoming increasingly rare. 2002 HONDA CR250R – THE RICKY CARMICHAEL ERA The 2002 Honda CR250R occupies a special place in motocross history. This was the era when Honda's legendary two-stroke CR250R was among the most formidable competition motorcycles on the planet. The 2002 model featured Honda's electronically controlled RC exhaust power-valve system, an advanced aluminum twin-spar frame, Showa suspension, and an incredibly powerful 249cc liquid-cooled two-stroke engine. It was also the beginning of Ricky Carmichael's legendary Honda years. In 2002, Carmichael captured both the AMA Supercross Championship and the AMA 250cc National Motocross Championship, accomplishing an incredible feat in the outdoor nationals: a perfect season, winning all 24 motos across 12 rounds! His dominance helped cement the Honda CR250R's reputation as one of the most iconic motocross machines of its generation. Honda would ultimately discontinue the CR250R after the 2007 model year, making these late-generation aluminum-frame two-strokes increasingly desirable among enthusiasts, collectors, and riders who appreciate the unmistakable sound, power delivery, and character of a high-performance two-stroke. This beautifully restored 2002 CR250R pays tribute to that legendary era with its Ricky Carmichael replica graphics, carefully selected performance components, and factory-inspired presentation. COMPLETE ENGINE REBUILD – BRAND-NEW CRANKSHAFT, REPLATED CYLINDER & MUCH MORE! The centerpiece of this motorcycle is its professionally rebuilt 249cc two-stroke engine. This wasn't simply a top-end refresh or a carburetor cleaning. The entire engine was removed, disassembled, the crankcases split, and the engine rebuilt from the crankshaft up. Engine restoration highlights: Brand-new Hot Rods crankshaft assembly Brand-new crankshaft main bearings Complete engine seal replacement Complete engine gasket replacement Cylinder professionally replated with Nikasil by Millennium Technologies Brand-new ProX standard-bore piston New ProX clutch components Brand-new clutch springs New VForce reed cage New Boyesen reed components as listed in the restoration work Keihin carburetor professionally cleaned and rebuilt New carburetor drain hoses New fuel lines New Twin Air / performance air filter RC power-valve system cleaned and restored Power-valve cover refinished Water pump serviced and restored New engine case bolt kit New OEM Honda shift lever Complete cleaning and detailing of engine cases Refinished ignition and clutch covers Refinished water-pump cover High-temperature, 500-degree gloss-black engine enamel on selected components The attention to detail is immediately apparent. The engine cases were thoroughly cleaned and carefully detailed while the engine was removed from the chassis. The ignition cover, clutch cover, power-valve cover, and water-pump housing were refinished to give the engine an exceptionally clean, factory-inspired appearance. The new Hot Rods crankshaft and Millennium-replated cylinder represent major mechanical investments that provide a solid foundation for years of enjoyment with appropriate maintenance. This is the level of engine restoration typically associated with a serious competition build, not an ordinary used motocross bike. PRO CIRCUIT PERFORMANCE EXHAUST – THE SOUND OF A LEGEND! Nothing captures the excitement of a classic 250cc two-stroke Honda quite like the sound of a properly tuned CR250R. This motorcycle is equipped with a performance Pro Circuit exhaust system featuring a Pro Circuit Factory Sound 304 stainless-steel-series silencer. The combination of the rebuilt engine, upgraded reed intake components, rebuilt Keihin carburetor, and Pro Circuit exhaust delivers the crisp throttle response and unmistakable two-stroke exhaust note that made these motorcycles legendary. This CR250R is an absolute ripper! The motorcycle has been operated using VP Racing fuel and Maxima Super M two-stroke oil.

RARE PIECE OF AMERICAN MOTORCYCLE HISTORY! 348CC ROTAX FOUR-VALVE ENGINE! SIX-SPEED TRANSMISSION! CHROMOLY FRAME! WP SUSPENSION! ELECTRIC START! This ATK is being sold as an AS-IS, NON-RUNNING PROJECT MOTORCYCLE . SOLD ON BILL OF SALE / NO TITLE /ASK ABOUT OUR TITLE PROGRAM Here is your opportunity to own a rare and distinctive piece of American off-road motorcycle history: a 1994 ATK 350 Enduro , built in Utah using some of the finest motorcycle components available at the time. For those unfamiliar with ATK, these were serious, American-built performance motorcycles engineered for riders who demanded exceptional handling, high-quality components, and rugged reliability. ATK combined American ingenuity and chassis design with proven Austrian Rotax engine technology to produce some of the most unique off-road motorcycles of the 1990s. These motorcycles were never mass-produced in the numbers of their Japanese competitors, making surviving examples increasingly interesting to collectors, vintage enduro enthusiasts, and American motorcycle historians. This particular ATK 350 is being offered AS-IS, NOT CURRENTLY RUNNING, AS A RESTORATION PROJECT , providing an excellent opportunity for an enthusiast to bring this rare machine back to its former glory. THE LEGENDARY ROTAX 350 FOUR-STROKE ENGINE At the heart of this machine is a remarkable 348cc Austrian-built Rotax single-cylinder engine featuring: 348cc air-cooled four-stroke single Four-valve cylinder head Single overhead camshaft (SOHC) Toothed-belt-driven camshaft Six-speed transmission Dual exhaust header outlets Factory-style two-into-one exhaust system One of the coolest engineering features of this motorcycle is its belt-driven overhead camshaft. Look closely at the side of the engine and you will see the factory markings identifying its four-valve design and belt-driven camshaft. Unlike the conventional chain-driven camshaft systems found on most four-stroke motorcycles, this Rotax engine utilizes a toothed timing belt behind the engine cover to operate the overhead camshaft. This is one of the signature engineering details that makes these engines so interesting! Rotax engines have earned an outstanding reputation for durability and performance in a variety of motorcycle applications, including enduro racing, motocross, flat track, hill climbing, and other competition disciplines. Another distinctive feature is the twin exhaust outlets exiting the single-cylinder engine, feeding into the two-into-one exhaust system. These big four-stroke singles have a fantastic exhaust note, excellent torque characteristics, and a personality all their own. The six-speed transmission provides versatile gearing for off-road riding, with the potential for higher-speed operation when properly geared and equipped. IMPORTANT: The engine kicks over and is not seized. We have not attempted to start or recommission the motorcycle, and its internal mechanical condition has not been verified. PREMIUM AMERICAN-BUILT CHASSIS AND COMPONENTS ATK motorcycles were designed with performance in mind, and the component selection reflects that philosophy. Factory equipment and chassis highlights include: American-built chromoly steel chassis Premium WP suspension Distinctive side-mounted rear shock Linkageless rear suspension design Heavy-duty triple clamps Nissin disc brake equipment Factory Answer handlebars Approximately 37-inch seat height More than 13 inches of ground clearance Original-style gold wheel hubs Gold rear sprocket Electric-start equipment Original factory handlebar switchgear One of the most recognizable ATK engineering features is the unusual rear suspension arrangement. Rather than utilizing a conventional centrally mounted shock and linkage system, ATK employed a distinctive side-mounted rear shock design that helped separate these motorcycles from their competition. The tall chassis, substantial ground clearance, and quality suspension components made these machines formidable off-road motorcycles, particularly for serious woods and enduro riding. CONDITION – EXCELLENT RESTORATION FOUNDATION What makes this particular motorcycle especially interesting is the condition of its major chassis components. Although it needs mechanical recommissioning and cosmetic restoration, several important original components appear remarkably well preserved. FRAME AND CHASSIS: The chromoly frame appears exceptionally straight, with no visible dents in the lower frame rails. This is particularly noteworthy on a motorcycle of this age. Many vintage dirt bikes have heavily battered lower frame rails from years of riding over rocks, logs, and difficult terrain. This ATK shows no visible dents in those lower rails, suggesting it may have enjoyed a relatively sheltered riding life. The swingarm sides also appear straight, and the major chassis components provide an excellent starting point for restoration. ORIGINAL PLASTICS AND GRAPHICS: The original-style plastics are present and appear substantially intact. The fuel tank retains its original ATK graphics, including the patriotic red, white, and blue USA-inspired color scheme. The graphics have faded considerably after more than three decades, but they are an excellent reminder of this motorcycle's American heritage. A fresh set of graphics, some plastic refinishing or replacement, and a detailed chassis restoration could dramatically improve the appearance of this machine. WHEELS AND TIRES: The motorcycle retains its attractive gold wheel hubs and gold rear sprocket. The front tire is a Kenda Washougal with approximately 90% visible tread remaining. The chain shows wear and should be replaced as part of the restoration. A fresh gold chain would look fantastic alongside the factory-style gold sprocket.

EXTENSIVELY RESTORED 75 HOURS OF SHOP LABOR – $13,000 INVESTED – ELECTRIC START – 170 PSI COMPRESSION – NEW WHEELS & TIRES & MUCH MORE; Feast your eyes on this absolutely spectacular 1987 Yamaha BW350 Big Wheel! Widely regarded as the pinnacle of Yamaha's legendary Big Wheel lineup, the BW350 is the big-bore, electric-start powerhouse that takes the fat-tire off-road experience to an entirely different level. With its massive balloon-style tires, torquey 350cc four-stroke engine, electric start, and legendary Yamaha engineering, the BW350 was built to conquer terrain that would leave conventional motorcycles struggling for traction. Sand, mud, snow, loose dirt, trails, and rugged terrain — this machine was designed to go just about anywhere! And this particular example is something truly special. Here at Kaplan Cycles and the New England Motorcycle Museum , we've invested approximately $13,000 in mechanical servicing, restoration, parts, and professional labor , transforming this exceptionally well-preserved, low-hour original machine into one of the nicest examples you're likely to encounter. This wasn't a quick detail job or a simple cosmetic makeover. Our restoration team invested 75 hours of professional shop labor at $150 per hour — $11,250 in labor alone — plus parts and materials. The result is an absolutely stunning BW350 that retains its original factory bodywork, fuel tank, and many important original components while benefiting from a comprehensive mechanical and cosmetic restoration. MECHANICAL CONDITION – EXCELLENT ORIGINAL ENGINE – 170 PSI COMPRESSION! One of the most impressive aspects of this machine is the condition of its original Yamaha engine. During our comprehensive mechanical inspection and service, our technicians checked the engine's internal condition and performed a compression test. The engine produced an outstanding 170 PSI of compression! Even more impressive, our technician's work order noted that the cylinder's original crosshatch pattern remained in excellent condition. This is a strong indication of an exceptionally well-preserved engine with limited internal wear. The original cylinder bore was in excellent condition, and there was no need for an unnecessary engine rebuild. Rather than disturbing an excellent original engine, we thoroughly inspected, serviced, tuned, and cosmetically restored it. Mechanical service and inspection included: Carburetor professionally cleaned and rebuilt Airbox refurbished Brand-new air filter installed New fuel petcock installed New fuel lines installed Engine oil changed New oil filter installed Complete engine service and tune-up performed Valves inspected and adjusted Compression tested at an excellent 170 PSI Cylinder condition inspected, with excellent original crosshatch documented Engine exterior professionally restored and repainted Stator cover refinished Associated mechanical components inspected and serviced The original engine's excellent condition is one of the strongest selling points of this motorcycle. You're purchasing a beautifully preserved original Yamaha powerplant that has been professionally serviced — not a worn-out engine that required major internal repairs. BRAND-NEW KMS WHEELS & MASSIVE KENDA KLAW TIRES! Perhaps the most visually impressive feature of this Big Wheel is the enormous tire and wheel package. These are not worn-out original wheels or tires. We installed a brand-new KMS wheel set, front and rear, equipped with brand-new Kenda Klaw knobby tires! Just look at the size of those knobs! The massive rear tire looks like something you'd expect to find on an agricultural tractor, with an aggressive tread pattern designed to dig into loose terrain. The fat-tire configuration is what makes the BW350 such a unique machine. Its oversized tires provide an enormous footprint compared with conventional motorcycles, delivering flotation and traction in challenging off-road conditions. Wheel, tire, and drivetrain upgrades include: Brand-new KMS front wheel Brand-new KMS rear wheel Brand-new Kenda Klaw front tire Brand-new Kenda Klaw rear tire Brand-new drive sprocket Brand-new gold drive chain New associated mounting hardware Front brake drum professionally refinished Rear brake drum professionally refinished The combination of the beautiful silver wheels, aggressive new tires, and gold chain gives this motorcycle an incredible stance. It looks every bit as tough as it is! ORIGINAL FACTORY PLASTICS – PROFESSIONALLY RESTORED! One of the rarest and most desirable features of this BW350 is that it retains its original Yamaha factory plastic bodywork . Finding an old off-road machine with its original plastics still intact and in this kind of condition is becoming increasingly difficult. Most of these motorcycles were purchased to be ridden hard. Over the decades, many suffered broken fenders, damaged side covers, faded tanks, scratched bodywork, and extensive wear. This example is different. The original plastic components were exceptionally well preserved and were painstakingly restored by our professional detailing team. Rather than simply painting over the original bodywork or replacing it with reproduction parts, we performed a labor-intensive, multistage refinishing process. The plastics were carefully sanded through progressively finer grades, finishing at 2,000-grit , before being professionally machine-buffed and polished. This process takes considerable time, patience, and expertise, but the finished result speaks for itself. Original components restored and polished include: Original Yamaha fuel tank Original front fender Original rear fender Original side covers Original headlight housing and surrounding plastic bodywork The original plastics now display a beautiful, rejuvenated finish while

A LEGENDARY FIRST-GENERATION SUPERBIKE PRESERVED IN REMARKABLE ORIGINAL CONDITION! Feast your eyes on this absolutely spectacular 1986 Suzuki GSX-R1100 Slabside , one of the most iconic and historically significant Japanese superbikes ever manufactured! This is the legendary first-year GSX-R1100, the machine that helped redefine the superbike category with its lightweight aluminum frame, massive air-and-oil-cooled four-cylinder engine, aggressive racing-inspired bodywork, and extraordinary performance. This particular example has just 26,000 original miles, retains its stunning original factory paint and bodywork, and has an incredible three-owner history. Finding a nearly 40-year-old GSX-R1100 in this level of original condition is becoming extraordinarily difficult. These were high-performance motorcycles built during the golden age of superbike racing. Many were raced, crashed, heavily modified, or simply worn out over decades of use. This motorcycle is different. It has been lovingly maintained, carefully preserved, and passed between three lifelong friends who grew up riding sport bikes together. Its original paint, factory body panels, original turn signals, remarkably preserved hardware, and beautiful overall appearance speak volumes about the care it has received. It has also just undergone an extensive $6,900 cosmetic and mechanical reconditioning at Kaplan Cycles , performed by our experienced technician Justin, who specializes in high-performance motorcycles. The result is an exceptionally original, fully sorted, outstanding-running vintage superbike that looks absolutely stunning and performs every bit as impressively as its appearance suggests. This is not a ground-up restoration. It is something increasingly difficult to find: a beautiful, predominantly original survivor with the mechanical work already completed! WHY ORIGINALITY MATTERS – A $100,000 RESTORATION STORY! To fully appreciate this motorcycle, it helps to understand what it takes to restore a first-generation GSX-R1100 to this level of appearance. We recently completed another 1986 GSX-R1100 here at Kaplan Cycles for one of our most valued clients. That motorcycle underwent an extraordinary nut-and-bolt restoration performed by our master restoration technician Dean, who has been with us for approximately a decade. The project took nearly two years to complete and required an astonishing 490 hours of labor . The factory-style multicolor paintwork alone consumed approximately 200 hours of painstaking preparation, refinishing, and graphic reproduction work. At today's professional restoration labor rates, 490 hours represents: $73,500 in labor at $150 per hour $95,550 in labor at $195 per hour That is before accounting for many of the necessary replacement parts and additional materials. In other words, recreating a GSX-R1100 to this standard can easily become a project approaching or exceeding $100,000. And that is precisely what makes this particular motorcycle so special. This 1986 GSX-R1100 retains its original factory paint, original bodywork, original finish on many of its components, and remarkably consistent, authentic patina throughout the motorcycle. From approximately ten feet away, it presents comparably to our extensively restored example, while retaining the authenticity and character that only an original survivor can offer. The original paint and graphics alone are a tremendous asset. The fit and finish of the body panels are outstanding. The rear solo-seat cowl fits beautifully, without the common mounting-point stress cracks found on many surviving examples. Even the original engine hardware and exposed studs retain remarkably clean finishes, with none of the heavy corrosion so often associated with motorcycles that have endured decades of improper storage. You cannot simply recreate that kind of originality. For the collector who understands the enormous cost of high-end restorations, this motorcycle represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a beautifully preserved example without having to undertake a massive restoration project. AN EXTRAORDINARY THREE-OWNER HISTORY One of the most interesting aspects of this GSX-R1100 is its ownership history. According to the previous owner, this motorcycle has belonged to just three individuals, all lifelong friends who grew up in the same community riding sport bikes together. The original owner purchased the motorcycle and eventually sold it to one of his riding buddies. When that owner decided to move on, he sold it to their third friend, who continued preserving and enjoying the motorcycle until it was acquired by Kaplan Cycles. All three owners were passionate motorcycle enthusiasts who appreciated this machine for what it was. Unlike so many GSX-R1100s from this era, this example was not subjected to a lifetime of racetrack abuse or extensive cosmetic modifications. It was reportedly stored indoors under exceptional conditions, and its preserved original finishes strongly reflect that history. The most recent owner reluctantly decided to part with the motorcycle after experiencing a significant health issue. With the tremendous performance of the GSX-R1100, he felt it was time to retire from riding such a powerful sport bike. His careful ownership is readily apparent throughout the machine. Three owners. Approximately four decades of history. Original factory paint. Just 26,000 miles. That combination is becoming increasingly difficult to duplicate. $6,900 IN

This rare, lightweight, big-bore single-cylinder sport bike combines Yamaha's legendary XT600 engine platform with a sleek, purpose-built sport chassis, clip-on handlebars, rear-set foot controls, triple disc brakes, and a beautiful minimalist café-racer design. The SRX600 was ahead of its time, offering the character, torque, and simplicity of a big four-stroke thumper in a lightweight, sporting package. These motorcycles were produced for a relatively short period and are becoming increasingly difficult to find, particularly in largely original condition. This example retains its original factory paint and is equipped with a Corbin saddle, SuperTrapp performance exhaust, and upgraded braided stainless-steel brake lines. Showing 25,532 miles , this is an excellent candidate for a winter restoration project, vintage motorcycle collection, or custom café-racer build. THE LEGENDARY YAMAHA SUPER SINGLE Yamaha took the proven big-bore four-stroke single-cylinder engine architecture made famous by the XT600 Enduro and adapted it for an entirely different purpose: a lightweight, street-oriented sport motorcycle. The result was the SRX600, affectionately known as the Super Single . Powered by a 608cc air-cooled, four-stroke single-cylinder engine, the SRX offers the unmistakable sound, mechanical character, and torque delivery that have made Yamaha's big singles favorites among enthusiasts for decades. The XT600 engine family also developed a substantial aftermarket following, making the SRX600 an appealing platform for enthusiasts who appreciate traditional four-stroke performance. But the engine is only half the story. Yamaha wrapped this big single in a beautifully designed tubular steel frame featuring distinctive triangulated frame sections, exposed mechanical components, and prominent SRX6 graphics. The motorcycle has a wonderfully slim profile, with a sculpted fuel tank flowing into the seat and tail section. Its low-mounted handlebars and rear-set foot controls provide an unmistakably sporty riding position. The result is a motorcycle that looks equally at home at a vintage track event, motorcycle show, or cruising down your favorite back road. FACTORY PERFORMANCE FEATURES The SRX600 was built with an impressive collection of sporting components for its era: 608cc air-cooled four-stroke single-cylinder engine Proven Yamaha XT600-derived engine architecture Five-speed manual transmission Lightweight tubular steel sport chassis Distinctive triangulated frame construction Triple disc brakes — dual front discs and single rear disc Factory rear-set foot controls Low-profile, sport-style handlebars Factory front fork brace Laid-down dual rear shocks with remote reservoirs Slim, sculpted fuel tank and streamlined bodywork Classic SRX6 factory graphics Original chrome headlight assembly This is a true Japanese Super Single, built for riders who appreciate lightweight handling, mechanical simplicity, and an engaging riding experience. DESIRABLE UPGRADES This particular SRX600 has several tasteful upgrades that complement its classic sporting character. Corbin Saddle: A quality aftermarket saddle that enhances the motorcycle's appearance while offering improved rider comfort. SuperTrapp Performance Exhaust: A desirable aftermarket exhaust system that complements the big single-cylinder engine and gives the motorcycle an unmistakably sporting appearance. Braided Stainless-Steel Brake Lines: An upgrade over conventional rubber brake hoses, providing improved resistance to line expansion under braking. Other than these upgrades, the motorcycle appears to retain its original factory configuration, including its distinctive frame, suspension, rear sets, fuel tank, and major cycle components. ORIGINAL PAINT AND COSMETIC CONDITION One of the most appealing features of this motorcycle is that it retains its original factory paint . The fuel tank has the sleek, sculpted profile that makes the SRX600 such a recognizable classic. The original SRX6 frame graphics and distinctive triangulated frame sections remain in place. There is an area where the paint previously peeled and surface rust began developing. That area has received some touch-up paint to address the exposed finish. Additional noteworthy details include: Original factory-painted fuel tank Original frame and major cycle components Original chrome headlight in good condition Instrument gauges in nice cosmetic condition Original rear suspension components Factory fork brace Original rear-set foot controls Classic lightweight café-style appearance As expected with a motorcycle of this age, there is general cosmetic wear consistent with age, use, and storage. Please review the photographs and video carefully to evaluate its condition. MECHANICAL CONDITION – SOLD AS-IS / PROJECT MOTORCYCLE IMPORTANT: THIS MOTORCYCLE IS BEING SOLD AS-IS, AS A NON-RUNNING RESTORATION PROJECT. This SRX600 has been part of our inventory for several years.

Paste link into a browser window: [isdntekvideo] 1986 Yamaha TT350 Gorgeous Classic, One-Owner, Low-Hour Survivor $7,864 Invested In The Restoration; Fully Serviced & Restored Take a close look at this outstanding 1986 Yamaha TT350—an adult-owned, low-hour survivor that has been professionally serviced, cosmetically restored, and prepared to look, run, and ride like a new motorcycle. Introduced as Yamaha’s answer to Honda’s legendary XR350, the TT350 combined serious off-road performance with the durability and easy-to-use power delivery that made four-stroke trail bikes so popular. With its lightweight chassis, excellent suspension, wide-ratio six-speed transmission, and responsive 350cc four-stroke engine, the TT350 earned a loyal following around the world, and remains a cult classic today. This particular example lived the easy life. It was owned by a mature Sunday rider, stored indoors, and clearly never abused. The original frame rails are remarkably straight and free of dents. The original wheel assemblies, rims, swingarm, and chassis components remain in exceptional condition, evidence of its low hours and careful ownership. Legendary Yamaha Four-Stroke Performance The TT350 is powered by Yamaha’s durable 350cc, double-overhead-cam, four-stroke single-cylinder engine. Its wide, tractable power curve delivers excellent traction and just the right amount of engine braking, making it an incredibly enjoyable machine for trail riding—and one of the best vintage four-strokes for lofting the front wheel. Power is delivered through a six-speed wide-ratio transmission that works equally well on tight trails, open terrain, fire roads, and recreational off-road adventures. The tubular-steel full-cradle chassis was modeled after Yamaha’s motocross machines, giving the TT350 a lightweight, nimble, and agile feel that separated it from many of its heavier four-stroke competitors. Yamaha also equipped it with serious suspension for the era, including long-travel front forks and a motocross-inspired rear shock. These motorcycles developed a well-earned reputation for being stone-axe reliable, nearly bulletproof, and enormously fun to ride. Low-Hour Survivor This TT350 retains its original fuel tank, shrouds, chassis, swingarm, wheel assemblies, and many of its core components. The condition tells the story: No significant dents in the lower frame rails Original wheels remain straight and exceptionally clean and spokes are in good condition Swingarm shows minimal evidence of hard off-road use Runs, rides, shifts, and stops exceptionally well It has lived a relatively easy life—and that is becoming increasingly difficult to find on a nearly 40-year-old off-road motorcycle. $7,864 Restoration and Service Investment Once we started working on this TT350, we decided to go all the way. Our four-page work order documents a total investment of $7,864, including 43 hours of professional shop labor plus restoration parts. That investment does not include the original cost of the motorcycle or the expense of transporting it to our facility. As is often the case with our museum-quality restorations, it will likely sell for less than the amount invested in the restoration alone. Engine, Fuel System and Electrical Service The mechanical work included: New replacement OEM stator assembly Fuel tank drained, rinsed, cleaned, inspected, and cosmetically restored Major carburetor cleaning and rebuild New carburetor rebuild kit Final carburetor tuning and road testing New fuel line New carburetor vent lines New carburetor intake boots New air-filter cage New air-filter element Valve clearances inspected and adjusted New clutch-cover gasket Fresh Spectro 10W-40 engine oil New engine-oil filter Fresh VP non-ethanol fuel SuperTrapp silencer with open end cap The result is an engine that starts, idles, revs, and performs exactly as it should. Brake and Chassis Restoration The braking and chassis systems received equally thorough attention: Replacement OEM front brake caliper Replacement OEM front master cylinder Front caliper and master cylinder vapor-honed and rebuilt Front brake system flushed and bled Fresh Motul brake fluid New front brake pads Rear brake completely rebuilt New rear brake shoes New clutch cable New gold final-drive chain New countershaft sprocket New chain rollers New chain sliders New Controls, Tires and Bodywork Additional upgrades include: New Renthal high-rise 7/8-inch handlebar New Renthal crossbar pad New Scott handgrips New Dunlop D952 front tire Matching Dunlop D952 rear tire New front and rear inner tubes New front and rear rim bands New front fender New rear fender New side panels New side number plates New Yamaha TT decal kit Christy is producing a brand-new set of Yamaha decals for the motorcycle. The decals currently shown are not perfect, so a fresh set will be professionally installed before the motorcycle leaves our facility. Extensive Cosmetic Restoration and Detailing This was far more than a quick wash and tune-up. The motorcycle received our full rotisserie detailing process. It was extensively dismantled, steam-cleaned, hot-water pressure-washed, hand-washed, polished, waxed, and carefully reassembled. The following components were professionally polished: Aluminum rims Wheel spokes SuperTrapp silencer Swingarm Front fork lowers The frame rails, engine, exhaust, and footpegs were also refinished. The original tank and shrouds were carefully restored to the best of our ability while preserving the character of the motorcycle. Today, this TT350 presents as close to a new machine as reasonably possible without performing a complete concours frame-off restoration. It remains an authentic 1986 Yamaha, but one that has benefited from an extraordinary amount of professional labor, new parts, mechanical service, and careful detailing.

First generation, first model year of the legendary Rebel 250! I have owned this bike since 2008; garage kept, only ridden in the rain once. These bikes are great to learn on, and fun to ride. Starts and runs smoothly. Gets 60-70 miles per gallon. Clear title. New Parts: Tires only have a few thousand miles on them, brand new battery, new LED headlight (because the original headlights were under powered on the early Rebels; but original headlight comes with it); new fuel filter, fuel petcock, and fuel lines. Upgrades: Windshield (makes commuting on the interstate easy even in cold weather); 2-prong rear kick-stand (didn't come standard, but makes it possible to do rear tire and chain maintenance and easy oil changes). New, LOUD horn. Quick-disconnect pigtail for battery tender installed. (Easily keep the battery in good condition through the winter.) Extras: Comes with brackets I made so you can mount bicycle panniers to cary enough luggage to easily camp from the bike. Imperfections: As with most Rebels of this age, the rear turn signal arms are repaired (the factory design was flawed, and when I replaced the broken originals the new ones broke so quickly I just braced them in place). The seat has two small tears that I've sealed with "thousand-mile-an-hour-tape." Title: clean. Note: CT does not maintain titles separate from registration for vehicles of this age, so the registration is the title.

This motorcycle is one of 23 classic motorcycles recently acquired from the estate of our friend Mike , a longtime Connecticut motorcycle enthusiast and furniture business owner who sadly passed away last year. Mike stored his collection indoors in his furniture warehouse, preserving these vintage machines for decades. We're now offering this Suzuki to the next enthusiast who wants to bring a great 1980s sport bike back to life!

The GS550E represents an exciting era in Japanese motorcycle history, when manufacturers were pushing the boundaries of four-cylinder performance, suspension technology, and sport bike styling. The 572cc four-cylinder engine features Suzuki's Twin Swirl Combustion Chamber technology, designed to improve combustion efficiency and performance. This particular example has been upgraded with a Yoshimura four-into-one performance exhaust , a highly desirable period-style upgrade that gives these vintage Suzuki four-cylinder engines an unmistakable sound. Once properly restored and running, this motorcycle should sound absolutely fantastic through that Yoshimura pipe! Other standout features include the factory gold mag wheels, distinctive blue-and-white bodywork, sporty quarter fairing, anti-dive front suspension, and Suzuki's Full Floater rear suspension. The combination of these features gives this GS550E the unmistakable appearance of a classic 1980s Japanese performance motorcycle. CONDITION – RESTORATION PROJECT This motorcycle is being sold AS-IS as a non-running restoration project. The bike has been in long-term indoor storage and will require a complete mechanical inspection, servicing, and recommissioning before returning to the road. Known missing components: Drive chain Ignition keys Carburetor intake boots It appears Mike may have been preparing to service or rebuild the carburetors before his passing, which may explain the missing intake boots. Aside from these noted missing components, the motorcycle appears substantially complete. The factory bodywork, fairing, seat, wheels, and other major components are present. We have not observed obvious evidence of a previous crash. The original blue-and-white paint scheme and gold wheels make this an especially attractive foundation for a vintage Suzuki restoration. The motorcycle has not been made roadworthy or fully mechanically evaluated by our shop. The new owner should plan on a complete recommissioning , potentially including fuel system cleaning, carburetor servicing, replacement of missing components, brake system inspection and service, tires, fluids, battery, and other age-related maintenance as necessary. FROM A 23-MOTORCYCLE PRIVATE ESTATE COLLECTION This Suzuki came from a remarkable collection assembled over many years by Mike, a dedicated Connecticut motorcycle enthusiast who owned a furniture business. Mike stored his motorcycles indoors at his warehouse, and his collection included vintage Hondas, Yamahas, Kawasakis, Suzukis, and other classic machines. Following his passing, we purchased the collection from his estate and are now offering these motorcycles to enthusiasts and collectors. Here at Kaplan Cycles and the New England Motorcycle Museum, we have approximately 240 motorcycles awaiting restoration and service. With our extensive backlog, we've decided to offer selected motorcycles from this collection in their current condition rather than have them sit waiting for restoration. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced mechanic, Suzuki enthusiast, or vintage Japanese motorcycle collector to acquire a classic four-cylinder project with great styling and a desirable Yoshimura exhaust. IMPORTANT SALE INFORMATION PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING OR PURCHASING: Motorcycle is currently NOT RUNNING . Sold strictly AS-IS, WHERE-IS . Requires mechanical restoration and recommissioning.

Ken and Christy Kaplan personally traveled to inspect the collection and purchased the entire group from his estate. The collection includes five classic Kawasakis, ranging from a small-displacement 125cc model all the way up to the legendary GPZ1100 superbike. Rather than allowing these machines to sit in storage indefinitely, we've decided to offer them to fellow enthusiasts, collectors, restorers, and vintage motorcycle lovers who can put them back on the road.

This is one of the finest, cleanest, and best-sorted examples we have had the privilege of representing. This is an early-production example with a December 1983 manufacture date and the extremely low serial number 179. It retains its original matching-numbers engine and cases, original unrestored frame, original fuel tank, bodywork, gauges, controls, mirrors, handlebars, levers, footpegs, and many remarkably well-preserved factory finishes. A Legendary American-Market Two-Stroke The RZ350 represents the end of an era—the last generation of street-legal Yamaha two-strokes offered in the United States. With its liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine, six-speed transmission, Yamaha Power Valve System, lightweight chassis, and unmistakable Kenny Roberts yellow-and-black livery, the RZ350 became an instant classic. Forty-two years later, clean and correct examples are among the most desirable Japanese performance motorcycles of the 1980s. They are fast, lightweight, exciting to ride, and increasingly difficult to find in this condition. Original Matching-Numbers Engine The matching-numbers engine has never been opened and runs exceptionally well. It starts, idles, shifts, accelerates, and performs exactly as a properly sorted RZ350 should. Even the original engine covers remain in beautiful condition and have not been repainted. New Allen-head fasteners were installed as a tasteful and functional upgrade. The motorcycle is presently running on VP94 ethanol-free fuel, helping protect the freshly serviced fuel system while delivering that unmistakable two-stroke sound and aroma. Comprehensive Kaplan Cycles Service Our technicians performed a complete, top-to-bottom inspection and comprehensive service. Every major system was examined, serviced, adjusted, or rebuilt as necessary. Work performed includes: Fuel tank cleaned and thoroughly rinsed Carburetors completely rebuilt New fuel lines installed New air filter installed Fresh VP94 ethanol-free fuel Cooling system serviced with fresh coolant Front and rear brake fluid replaced Forks rebuilt with new fork seals New fork sliders installed Front brake system completely rebuilt New braided stainless-steel front brake lines New front brake pads Rear brake system inspected, flushed, and serviced New Bridgestone Battlax tires installed front and rear Front and rear wheels removed, cleaned, detailed, and inspected Aluminum wheel lips professionally polished Bearings inspected and found to be in excellent condition New grips installed New seat cover installed Complete chassis, control, fastener, and safety inspection Final road testing and evaluation performed The original seat cover showed some age-related patina, so it was replaced with a brand-new cover that presents beautifully. Upgraded Brakes, Suspension and Tires The front forks were removed and rebuilt with new fork seals and sliders. The fork lowers present beautifully, and even the chrome hardware remains remarkably well preserved. The front braking system was completely rebuilt with new pads, fresh fluid, and braided stainless-steel brake lines. Unlike the original rubber lines, braided lines resist expansion under pressure, providing a firmer lever and improved braking response. Both wheels received extensive cosmetic and mechanical attention. The original tires were still installed when the motorcycle arrived, proving how little use the bike had received, but they were replaced for safety. The motorcycle now wears matching Bridgestone Battlax tires, with the molding nubs still visible. A steering brace has also been installed to improve high-speed front-end stability. Performance Exhaust System One of the best upgrades available for an RZ350 is a quality expansion-chamber exhaust system. The original catalytic exhausts were heavy and restrictive. This motorcycle is equipped with a highly regarded Factory Pro Products performance exhaust system featuring polished aluminum silencers. The system reportedly saves approximately 20 pounds compared with the original exhaust while improving the motorcycle’s sound, appearance, and performance. It looks fantastic and sounds wicked—the way a classic Yamaha two-stroke should. Outstanding Original Condition The original fuel tank, side covers, painted bodywork, frame, switch housings, handlebars, mirrors, levers, footpegs, turn signals, gauges, and trim remain in exceptional condition. The gauges are particularly impressive. Unlike many surviving RZ350s, they are not faded, cloudy, or filled with debris. They look remarkably close to new. The original frame stickers are still present and beautifully preserved. There is no evidence of road rash or any significant accident damage. The frame is straight, the bodywork fits properly, and the motorcycle presents beautifully from every angle. The original frame remains unrestored and unretouched. Its preservation speaks volumes about the care this motorcycle has received throughout its life. A Unique Part of Its History The motorcycle also carries an unusual piece of its history. While traveling in sixth gear at approximately 100 mph, its former owner struck a bird that unexpectedly crossed his path. A small resulting mark was preserved beneath clear coat rather than removed. It has remained part of the motorcycle’s documented story ever since. Collector-Market Performance Exceptional Yamaha RZ350s have become highly desirable collector motorcycles. Kaplan Cycles previously sold a nearly identical example showing approximately 3,000 miles for $27,500. Comparable RZ350 sales reported by Mecum have included

This is officially the most expensive CR125 restoration we've ever performed here at Kaplan Cycles. We've restored countless vintage Honda CRs over the years, including numerous 1984,1985, 1986, and later models, but we've never taken a 1983 CR125R to this extraordinary level. What initially appeared to be a relatively straightforward restoration turned into an all-out, no-expense-spared, frame-off rebuild involving three of our leading technicians, a suspension specialist, and more than 100 hours of professional labor. The finished product is absolutely breathtaking. And here's the best part: It doesn't just look like a factory works racer. It runs like one! This little 125 absolutely RIPS! With its lightweight chassis, explosive two-stroke power delivery, completely rebuilt engine, race-prepared suspension, and beautifully restored components, it's a reminder of just how phenomenal these early Honda CR motocross machines were. This was a labor of love, built exactly the way I wanted it, without regard to whether the restoration costs could ever be recovered. Let's talk numbers, because they tell an incredible story. 107 hours of professional shop labor $195 per hour – our current shop rate $20,865 in professional labor Over $4,000 invested in restoration parts Total documented restoration investment: $24,865 excluding the original motorcycle acquisition cost and my project management time Additionally, our restoration records document 54 hours of cosmetic and detail restoration work , covering painstaking component refinishing, polishing, preparation, and assembly. The 107-hour restoration total reflects the extraordinary amount of labor dedicated to this build. The labor alone exceeds what many people would spend purchasing an excellent vintage motocross bike. And this doesn't include my personal time sourcing the motorcycle, locating discontinued components, ordering parts, meeting with technicians, directing the restoration, inspecting the work, and overseeing the build from beginning to end. Simply put, you could not economically duplicate this motorcycle for what we expect it to sell for. This is the kind of restoration that makes sense only when the person commissioning it has a genuine passion for these machines. We do. And it shows everywhere you look. COMPLETE ENGINE REBUILD – CRANKCASES SPLIT – NOTHING OVERLOOKED! The heart of this incredible machine is its fully rebuilt liquid-cooled Honda 125cc two-stroke racing engine. We didn't simply install a piston, clean the carburetor, and call it a restoration. The engine was completely dismantled, the crankcases were split, and the internal components were comprehensively rebuilt. Engine restoration includes: Original Honda crankcases completely disassembled and inspected Original engine cases vapor-honed, professionally refinished, and repainted Completely rebuilt crankshaft New crankshaft connecting rod Brand-new crankshaft main bearings New crankshaft seals New piston and piston rings New wrist-pin/top-end bearing New cylinder base gasket New cylinder head gasket New reed valves New OEM Honda NOS transmission bearings Transmission inspected and rebuilt as required New clutch basket New clutch plates New clutch springs New kickstarter shaft seal New shifter shaft seal New internal engine seals and gaskets Original engine hardware replaced or professionally restored Original clutch and water-pump covers refinished Restored original kickstarter Restored shifter New countershaft sprocket Completely rebuilt water pump with new seals and gaskets Professional engine refinishing and reassembly (Clutch Cover is scheduled for repainting a third time this week) One of the details that separates this rebuild from the average restoration is the transmission. We used genuine OEM Honda new-old-stock transmission bearings rather than inexpensive aftermarket substitutes. Finding correct-quality components for a motorcycle this old requires patience, experience, and a willingness to spend the necessary money. That's exactly what we did. The engine was finished with meticulous attention to detail, including restored or replaced fasteners throughout. The result is an outstanding period Honda powerplant that looks incredible and delivers the thrilling performance these machines became famous for. Since completion, this motorcycle has accumulated approximately 30 minutes of total operating time , consisting of testing, tuning, and evaluation. It starts easy, runs excellent, and pulls extremely hard. The power-to-weight ratio is astonishing. For a vintage 125cc motocross machine with drum brakes, this bike is an absolute rocket! PREMIUM $440 PWK AIR STRYKER CARBURETOR! We didn't compromise when it came to the fuel system. The motorcycle is equipped with a brand-new PWK Air Striker carburetor , Additional fuel and induction restoration includes: Brand-new Twin Air foam air filter Completely restored original airbox Airbox hard plastic professionally refinished Excellent original rubber components New carburetor drain and vent lines New spark plug New spark plug cap New reed valves The entire intake system has been addressed to complement the freshly rebuilt engine. This is a serious performance-oriented restoration, not simply a display motorcycle. COMPLETE COOLING SYSTEM RESTORATION The liquid-cooling system has also received comprehensive

This motorcycle has spent years on display at the New England Motorcycle Museum, where it has been admired and preserved as part of our classic motorcycle collection. With several new collections arriving, we're rotating some of our longtime display motorcycles out of the museum to make room for the next generation of classics. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire an exceptionally clean, low-mileage vintage Honda that's ready for a proper mechanical recommissioning. THE LEGENDARY HONDA CB650 FOUR The CB650 Custom represents everything that made Honda's four-cylinder motorcycles legendary: smooth power delivery, exceptional engineering, reliability, and timeless styling. Powered by Honda's 626cc air-cooled, single-overhead-cam inline four-cylinder engine , featuring four carburetors and four individual chrome exhaust pipes, the CB650 delivers that unmistakable sound and smoothness that made Honda fours famous. And this isn't just the standard CB650. This is the desirable Custom model , featuring distinctive factory styling that sets it apart from the conventional models.

They give this classic Honda an unmistakable appearance that you simply don't see on modern motorcycles. AN EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN ORIGINAL SURVIVOR What makes this particular CB650 Custom special is its remarkable cosmetic preservation. The paint and chrome are original factory finishes, not a recent restoration. Take a close look at the photos and video. The original blue, silver, and gold paint presents beautifully, with the kind of color and finish that makes this motorcycle stand out even among other machines. The chrome exhaust pipes are exceptionally attractive, and the overall appearance is remarkably well preserved for a motorcycle manufactured in 1981. Condition highlights: Only 7,800 original miles showing Beautiful original factory paint Excellent-appearing original chrome Original factory four-pipe exhaust system Original saddle in outstanding condition Original factory mirrors Beautiful, clean instrument gauges Smooth, light clutch lever operation Original factory center stand intact Clean handlebars, grips, levers, and mirrors No apparent evidence of the motorcycle having been dropped or crashed Very clean overall engine and chassis presentation New England Motorcycle Museum display motorcycle The original saddle is particularly impressive, presenting in near-mint cosmetic condition. The gauges look beautiful, the clutch pull is smooth as butter, and there is no visible road rash on the grips, levers, or mirrors that would suggest a previous accident. From the original paint to the four chrome exhaust pipes, this motorcycle has the appearance of a carefully preserved survivor. Finding a CB650 Custom this clean, with such low indicated mileage and so many original components intact, is becoming increasingly difficult.

Check out this legendary 1981 Kawasaki GPz1100 , one of the most iconic high-performance Japanese motorcycles of the early 1980s! Before the Ninja revolution, Kawasaki's big-bore GPz machines were among the kings of the street, delivering massive four-cylinder horsepower, unmistakable styling, and serious superbike performance. This is the original old-school, twin-shock GPz1100, featuring Kawasaki's legendary air-cooled inline-four engine, triple disc brakes, factory mag wheels, and classic superbike chassis. This particular motorcycle also features a set of vintage Fox lay-down rear shocks, a desirable period performance upgrade! Whether you're a Kawasaki collector, a vintage superbike enthusiast, or someone looking for a solid restoration project or a valuable parts donor, this GPz1100 deserves a closer look. FROM A PRIVATE 23-MOTORCYCLE ESTATE COLLECTION This motorcycle was acquired by Kaplan Cycles as part of a 23-motorcycle estate collection belonging to Mike, a longtime Connecticut motorcycle enthusiast and furniture business owner. Mike had assembled an impressive collection of vintage Japanese motorcycles, including classic Hondas, Yamahas, and Kawasakis. He stored his motorcycles indoors in his large furniture warehouse, protected from the elements. Sadly, Mike passed away before completing several of his restoration projects. His brother subsequently sold us the collection. This GPz1100 was one of the motorcycles Mike intended to restore but never got around to finishing. With approximately 240 motorcycles recently arriving at Kaplan Cycles and a substantial restoration backlog, we've decided to offer several of these vintage machines directly to collectors and enthusiasts rather than have them sit waiting for restoration. This is your opportunity to purchase an increasingly collectible Kawasaki superbike in project condition and restore it yourself! ORIGINAL SUPERBIKE CHARACTER & DESIRABLE COMPONENTS For a motorcycle of this age that has been stored and awaiting restoration, this GPz1100 retains numerous valuable original components and period performance upgrades. Notable features include: Legendary 1100cc-class Kawasaki four-cylinder engine: The iconic air-cooled superbike powerplant that helped establish Kawasaki's reputation for serious performance. Carburetor conversion: Originally equipped with electronic fuel injection, this motorcycle has been converted to carburetors by a previous owner. Vintage Fox rear shocks: Classic period-correct aftermarket lay-down shocks with restoration potential. The springs could be refinished and the shocks restored. Factory mag wheels: The distinctive Kawasaki alloy wheels remain installed. Triple disc brakes: Dual front discs and a single rear disc. Clean front end: Forks, front fender, headlight components, gauges, and front turn signals are present. Straight front fender: Appears to be in very good condition, an increasingly valuable original component. Fuel tank: Appears excellent externally, with no visible dents or damage noted. Interior condition has not been verified. Original-style instrument cluster: Gauges are present and appear to be in good condition. Frame: Appears straight, with no obvious evidence of collision damage or bent frame rails observed during our visual inspection. Engine cases: Main engine block appears to be in good external condition, although some covers are missing. Seat and tail section: Both remain intact, and the seat appears to be in good condition. For those familiar with vintage GPz1100s, you already know how difficult and expensive certain original components have become to source. The front fender alone can represent a significant replacement expense, with good examples potentially costing $200 or more. The gauges, tank, wheels, seat, engine cases, frame, suspension components, and other parts all have substantial restoration or parts value. KNOWN MISSING COMPONENTS & PROJECT REQUIREMENTS Please understand that this motorcycle is being sold as a non-running restoration project or parts bike. It is NOT a complete, ready-to-ride motorcycle. Known missing components include: Clutch/engine side cover Countershaft/front sprocket cover One footpeg Rear turn signals Airbox or aftermarket pod filters Additional hardware, components, maintenance, repairs, and restoration work may be required. The fuel tank appears very good externally, but its internal condition has not been confirmed. The ignition key and fuel-cap operation have not been verified. The engine has not been mechanically tested, and we are not making any claims regarding its running condition, compression, or internal mechanical condition. The carburetor conversion was performed before our ownership, and its completeness and proper operation have not been verified. What you see is what you get. We do not have any additional parts to include with this motorcycle. EXCELLENT RESTORATION CANDIDATE OR VALUABLE PARTS DONOR! There are two excellent possibilities for this classic Kawasaki. RESTORATION PROJECT: For someone with the mechanical ability, time, and resources to restore a vintage Japanese superbike, this GPz1100 offers an excellent foundation. With its straight-appearing frame, good external tank condition, original-style components, and desirable Fox shocks, there is plenty here worth saving.

FEAST YOUR EYES ON THIS ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR RED ROCKET! This is one of the most iconic, historically significant, and visually stunning motocross motorcycles ever produced. Honda's legendary Red Rocket revolutionized motocross racing in the late 1970s, and nearly five decades later, its unmistakable bright red finish, aggressive stance, and race-bred engineering still make it one of the most desirable vintage motocross machines in the world. This particular example has undergone an extraordinary, comprehensive frame-off, nut-and-bolt restoration by the professional restoration team here at Kaplan Cycles. With 89 hours of professional labor and $4,227 in parts, this motorcycle represents a documented $21,777 restoration investment, NOT INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL COST OF THE MOTORCYCLE! Including the acquisition of a pristine, restoration-worthy original motorcycle, the total investment replacement cost approaches $25,000.

This is a serious, comprehensive, professional restoration performed by the most experienced vintage motorcycle restoration operation in the country. THE LEGEND OF THE HONDA RED ROCKET When Honda introduced the original CR250M Elsinore in 1973, it set an entirely new standard for production motocross motorcycles. Lightweight, powerful, and purpose-built for competition, the original Elsinore quickly earned a reputation as one of the most influential motocross machines of its era. However, by the middle of the decade, Yamaha, Suzuki, and Kawasaki had dramatically advanced their motocross technology. Honda needed something revolutionary to reclaim its position at the front of the pack. Honda's response was the legendary RC factory racing program, which helped establish the design direction for an entirely new generation of production motocross machines. When the radically redesigned CR250R debuted for 1978, the motocross world took notice. The new Red Rocket featured aggressive works-inspired styling, a lightweight chassis, a powerful two-stroke engine, and dramatically improved suspension and handling. It looked like a factory racing motorcycle because that was exactly the image Honda intended. The 1979 model continued this legendary design and remains one of the most instantly recognizable motorcycles of the golden age of American motocross. Nearly 50 years later, the Red Rocket is still one of the most beautiful motocross motorcycles ever manufactured. And when restored to this level, it's truly a work of art. COMPREHENSIVE KAPLAN CYCLES FRAME-OFF RESTORATION 89 HOURS PROFESSIONAL LABOR – $17,550 NEW PARTS AND COMPONENTS – $4,227 TOTAL RESTORATION INVESTMENT – $21,777 This motorcycle was completely disassembled down to the bare frame. The engine was removed, the entire chassis was dismantled, and the restoration began with an exceptionally clean original motorcycle. One of the most important factors in a high-quality restoration is the condition of the original machine. This CR250R had an outstanding foundation: Pristine original frame rails Excellent original frame down tubes Straight, undamaged chassis Exceptionally clean original swingarm Excellent original engine cases Original Honda components worthy of professional restoration The underside of the frame is particularly impressive, with beautiful, straight frame rails showing the quality of the original motorcycle. The frame refinished in the correct original Honda factory-style red finish. The swingarm received the same comprehensive treatment. Every major assembly was disassembled, inspected, cleaned, serviced, rebuilt, restored, or replaced as required. Throughout the restoration, original factory Honda hardware was preserved wherever practical, professionally cleaned and re-zinc plated, while numerous other fasteners were replaced with new hardware. This attention to detail extends to areas most restorations never address. From the steering stem to the rear axle, from the engine mounting hardware to the chain rollers, the quality of the workmanship is evident everywhere you look. ENGINE – COMPLETE MECHANICAL RECONDITIONING The legendary Honda 250cc two-stroke engine received extensive mechanical and cosmetic restoration. Engine restoration highlights: Engine removed from chassis for comprehensive restoration Original engine cases professionally vapor honed Engine cases and covers refinished Cylinder professionally refinished Brand-new piston Brand-new piston rings New cylinder base gasket New cylinder head gasket New spark plug Clutch rebuilt with new clutch components and springs Ignition side cleaned, inspected, and restored Carburetor completely rebuilt New carburetor jets New carburetor drain lines New intake components New reeds Brand-new Twin Air air filter Fresh fuel lines Original engine mounts cleaned, vapor honed, and restored New or professionally re-zinc-plated engine hardware New cylinder head and base fasteners New intake mounting hardware Restored original kickstarter with new mounting bolt Brand-new shift lever The engine was carefully assembled, tuned, and tested by our experienced technicians. THE RESULT? THIS THING IS AN ABSOLUTE ROCKET SHIP! It starts easily, runs crisp and strong, and delivers the thrilling two-stroke performance that made the Honda Red Rocket a legend. The

ESTATE SALE / SOLD ON BILL OF SALE / ASK ABOUT OUR TITLE PROGRAM Here’s your chance to own AN ALL ORIGINAL true piece of vintage Japanese off-road motorcycle history! Up for sale is this 1979 Suzuki DR370 , a classic big-bore four-stroke thumper that represents the golden era of Japanese enduro motorcycles. Now 47 years old, these early Suzuki DR370s are becoming increasingly difficult to find, especially examples retaining so many of their original factory components. BEST OF ALL, THIS CLASSIC SUZUKI RUNS, THE CLUTCH AND TRANSMISSION FUNCTION PROPERLY, AND IT HAS PLENTY OF POWER! This is an excellent candidate for a winter project, vintage trail rider, AHRMA-style vintage off-road machine, or simply a fun classic to enjoy and preserve. LEGENDARY SUZUKI 370CC FOUR-STROKE POWER! The DR370 was Suzuki's answer to the growing demand for powerful, reliable, four-stroke off-road motorcycles in the late 1970s. Built around a simple, rugged, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine, the DR370 combined dependable Japanese engineering with motocross-inspired chassis technology. Factory-style features include: 370cc air-cooled, single-cylinder, four-stroke engine Five-speed manual transmission Single carburetor Kick-start ignition system Forward-axle telescopic front forks Laid-down dual rear shock absorbers Lightweight off-road chassis Spoked wheels Long-travel, motocross-inspired suspension Factory-style fuel tank, fenders, handlebars, and seat With its forward-axle forks and laid-down rear shocks, the DR370 shared much of the aggressive styling philosophy of Suzuki's legendary RM motocross machines. Unlike a pure motocross bike, the DR370 was designed as a recreational off-road and enduro motorcycle, originally equipped with lighting equipment for more versatile trail use. This particular example is currently configured primarily for off-road riding. RUNNING CONDITION – STRONG ENGINE – FUNCTIONAL TRANSMISSION! THE ENGINE RUNS AND HAS PLENTY OF POWER! We have had this motorcycle running, and the engine feels tight and mechanically solid. It does not exhibit the excessive vibration you might expect from a vintage big-bore four-stroke. The clutch functions properly, and the five-speed transmission shifts and operates as expected during our evaluation. The carburetion could use some attention to get the motorcycle running perfectly. We suspect a possible minor intake air leak, and our recommendation would be to replace the carburetor intake boot and perform a carburetor cleaning or rebuild. The motorcycle currently runs, but it would benefit from that additional tuning and maintenance. This is not being represented as a fully restored or completely serviced motorcycle. It is being sold AS-IS as a running vintage project bike. REMARKABLE ORIGINALITY – HAS THE ORIGINAL 1978 BRIDGESTONE TIRES! One of the most interesting features of this motorcycle is just how many of its original components have survived. The motorcycle retains what appears to be its original Bridgestone motocross tires , including a rear tire with a date code indicating manufacture during the 31st week of 1978! That is an incredible detail on a motorcycle approaching its 50th anniversary. Both the front and rear tires are matching vintage Bridgestone off-road tires, and we believe they may have been installed when the motorcycle was new. The rear sprocket also appears to be the original factory sprocket, and the chain and wheel assemblies show characteristics consistent with a largely original survivor. the motorcycle may has seen limited use over its lifetime. Original components and features include: Original Suzuki fuel tank Original seat in good condition Original front and rear fenders Original handlebars Original wheel assemblies Original-style rear sprocket Vintage Bridgestone front and rear tires Original-style chassis and suspension components Numerous original factory cycle parts Finding a running, nearly half-century-old dirt bike with this level of originality is becoming increasingly unusual. COSMETIC CONDITION – HONEST VINTAGE SURVIVOR! This Suzuki presents as an honest, unrestored vintage trail motorcycle. The original fuel tank remains intact and retains its classic DR370 appearance. Some of the paint has chipped over the years, and previous touch-up work was performed to help prevent rust. Portions of the Suzuki tank lettering have also been touched up. The original seat is in good condition for its age, and both original fenders remain in place. The wheels, suspension, handlebars, and major chassis components are present, making this a solid foundation for someone who wants to preserve its survivor appearance or undertake a more comprehensive restoration. It has the unmistakable look of a late-1970s Suzuki enduro, with the classic fuel tank, dual-shock rear suspension, long-travel forks, and purposeful off-road stance. RECOMMENDED SERVICE & RECONDITIONING Although the motorcycle runs, we recommend the following work before regular riding: Carburetor service: Clean or rebuild the carburetor and inspect or replace the intake boot to address the carburetion issue. New tires: The existing vintage Bridgestone tires show age-related cracking and dry rot and should be replaced before riding. Chain and sprockets: The existing drivetrain components are functional, but replacement is recommended due to age and wear. Front brake lever: The brake lever is broken and requires replacement. General service: Inspect the brakes, bearings, suspension, controls, fuel system, and other age-related maintenance items.

Mike was a dedicated motorcycle enthusiast who appreciated the craftsmanship, performance, and timeless styling of these vintage machines. This GS750E is one of three classic Suzukis from his collection that we're offering for sale. THE LEGENDARY SUZUKI GS750E The 1979 GS750E represents the final year of Suzuki's original eight-valve GS750 engine design, an engine renowned for its durability, smooth power delivery, and tremendous performance potential. The GS750 established itself as one of the standout motorcycles of its generation, earning an excellent reputation for its handling, reliability, and ability to deliver serious performance without sacrificing everyday rideability. Highlights include: 748cc air-cooled, four-cylinder, four-stroke engine Double overhead camshafts with eight valves Five-speed transmission Electric starting Dual front disc brakes Classic Suzuki GS-series styling Legendary engine durability and performance potential Excellent platform for a factory-correct restoration or vintage custom build These early GS750s have developed a loyal following among vintage Japanese motorcycle enthusiasts, and finding a largely original, complete example with mileage this low is increasingly difficult.

The odometer shows just 13,264 miles , and the motorcycle retains nearly all its original factory equipment. Take a close look at the photos and video. This isn't a stripped-down basket case or a motorcycle that's been heavily modified over the years. It's a genuine classic survivor with an excellent foundation for restoration. Original equipment and notable features include: Original factory paint and bodywork Original Suzuki four-cylinder engine Original factory exhaust system, intact Original carburetors Original intake components Original factory airbox Original engine side covers Original cycle parts Factory-style seat with a replacement seat cover Café racer-style handlebars installed by the previous owner The original factory exhaust system is especially noteworthy. These exhaust systems are frequently replaced with aftermarket four-into-one headers, making an intact original system a desirable feature for collectors and restorers. The engine cases and side covers present well, with no obvious evidence of crash or tip-over damage observed during our inspection . The original paint adds considerably to the motorcycle's vintage appeal. This bike has the look and character of an authentic survivor, rather than something that has been extensively modified or cosmetically reinvented. EXCELLENT RESTORATION OR WINTER PROJECT! PLEASE NOTE: THIS MOTORCYCLE IS NOT CURRENTLY RUNNING AND IS BEING SOLD AS-IS AS A PROJECT BIKE. We recently purchased Mike's entire 23-motorcycle collection. With more than 240 motorcycles already awaiting service and restoration at Kaplan Cycles, we simply don't have the available shop time to go through every motorcycle ourselves. Rather than have this classic sit in our restoration queue, we're offering it directly to the next enthusiast who wants to bring it back to life. The motorcycle has not been fully serviced or recommissioned by our shop. The engine, fuel system, brakes, electrical system, and other mechanical components will need to be inspected and serviced as necessary before operation. Additional items to note: Motorcycle is currently not running. Fuel tank cap could not be opened during our inspection. We have the ignition key, but the correct tank key is NOT present. Fuel tank interior condition has not been verified. Motorcycle is being sold in its present, as-is condition. We encourage all interested buyers to review the photographs and accompanying video carefully and contact us with any questions before purchasing.

You could pursue a factory-correct restoration, preserve its original survivor appearance, or carefully recommission it into a vintage rider. The GS750 engine has a reputation for being exceptionally durable, and the low indicated mileage makes this an especially interesting project.

SOLD AS IS! DOES NOT RUN / NO TITLE / ASK ABOUT OUR TITLE PROGRAM 50 YEARS OF AMERICAN MOTORCYCLE HISTORY! Check out this classic 1976 Harley-Davidson Ironhead Sportster! If you're a fan of old-school American iron, you already know why these legendary machines have such a loyal following. The unmistakable sound, mechanical simplicity, vintage styling, and raw character of an Ironhead Sportster make it one of Harley-Davidson's most iconic motorcycles. Here at Kaplan Cycles and the New England Motorcycle Museum, WE LOVE IRONHEADS! In fact, the Ironhead engine is so iconic that it's featured in our museum's company logo! We currently have approximately seven Ironhead Sportsters awaiting restoration, and with hundreds of motorcycles in our restoration pipeline, we've decided to offer a few of these classics to fellow enthusiasts who want to bring them back to life. This 1976 Sportster is a complete, rolling restoration project with tremendous potential. Our original plan was to perform a full frame-off restoration, powder-coat the frame, vapor-hone and polish the engine, restore all the original components, and bring this classic Harley back to its former glory. Unfortunately, we simply have too many motorcycles awaiting restoration, so we're offering this one AS-IS, A PROJECT BIKE FOR PARTS OR RESTORATION. THE LEGENDARY HARLEY-DAVIDSON IRONHEAD The Ironhead Sportster is one of the most recognizable motorcycles in Harley-Davidson history. Introduced in 1957, the Ironhead Sportster earned its reputation as a tough, powerful, no-nonsense American V-twin. These motorcycles were the hot rods of their generation and remain highly desirable among vintage Harley enthusiasts, custom builders, and collectors. The 1975 model is especially interesting because it features the left-side gearshift configuration, introduced in 1975, along with the classic kick-start, air-cooled, 1,000cc Ironhead V-twin. With its compact chassis, peanut-style fuel tank, exposed engine, and unmistakable vintage Harley styling, this motorcycle is an excellent foundation for a period-correct restoration, old-school chopper, bobber, or custom build. MECHANICAL CONDITION This motorcycle has been sitting and will require a comprehensive mechanical inspection, servicing, and recommissioning before being returned to the road. The good news is that THE ENGINE KICKS OVER AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS IN AND OUT OF GEAR! That's an important starting point for any vintage motorcycle restoration. The engine appears externally intact, with no obvious physical damage to the cases or major engine components. The motorcycle appears substantially complete, including the engine, transmission, chassis, controls, suspension, wheels, fuel tank, oil tank, and other major components. Mechanical observations: Engine kicks over and is not seized. Transmission shifts in and out of gear. Engine cases appear to be in good physical condition. No obvious external damage to major engine components. Screamin' Eagle air cleaner installed. Custom Python exhaust pipes installed. Complete mid-control assembly present. Factory-style highway peg mounting assembly with footpegs. Original-style oil tank intact. Rear shocks and swingarm intact. Front forks appear straight. Triple clamps appear clean and undamaged. Motorcycle is substantially complete and rolls as a restoration project. IMPORTANT: This motorcycle is not currently running. We have not performed a complete mechanical inspection or attempted to recommission it. Engine compression, internal mechanical condition, electrical operation, braking systems, and roadworthiness have not been verified. It should be considered a complete restoration project requiring both cosmetic and mechanical work. ORIGINAL COMPONENTS & DESIRABLE FEATURES One of the biggest advantages of this Sportster is how many of the important components are still present. Highlights include: Original-style peanut fuel tank Classic buckhorn handlebars 21-inch front wheel Drilled front disc brake rotor Straight-appearing front forks Clean triple clamps Vintage headlight visor Good-condition headlight bucket Restorable gauge assembly Intact handlebar risers Screamin' Eagle air cleaner Python exhaust system Complete mid-mounted foot controls Highway pegs and mounting assembly Oil tank intact Original-style rear suspension Complete swingarm assembly Classic Harley-Davidson Sportster chassis The speedometer currently displays just 8 miles, but we do not believe that represents the motorcycle's actual mileage. It was likely replaced at some point, and actual mileage is unknown. COSMETIC CONDITION – A BLANK CANVAS FOR RESTORATION! Now, let's talk about the paint job! Somewhere along the way, a previous owner decided that black, purple, and blue paint, along with some unusual custom artwork, would be a good look for this classic Harley. We'll just say that his artistic vision was a little different from ours! The motorcycle has been painted extensively, including numerous components that would ordinarily be left in their original finishes. Our plan was to strip the motorcycle completely, powder-coat the frame, refinish the fuel tank, restore the cycle parts, vapor-hone the engine, polish the aluminum components, and bring this iconic Sportster back to its original glory. This motorcycle CAN GET A COMPLETE COSMETIC RESTORATION, OR RIDE IT AS IS! but for the right enthusiast, that's part of the fun. Strip it down, clean it up, rebuild what needs attention, and create the Ironhead Sportster you've always wanted. Whether your vision is a factory-style restoration, period-correct '70s custom, traditional bobber, or vintage chopper,

RARE SECOND-YEAR HONDA GOLD WING | 1,000CC FLAT-FOUR | SHAFT DRIVE | ORIGINAL PAINT & CHROME | NEW ENGLAND MOTORCYCLE MUSEUM DISPLAY BIKE! Offered for sale by Kaplan Cycles and the New England Motorcycle Museum is this absolutely stunning 1976 Honda GL1000 Gold Wing , an exceptionally well-preserved, unrestored example of one of the most historically significant Japanese motorcycles ever produced. Finished in its gorgeous factory Candy Antares Red paint with gold pinstriping , complemented by brilliant original chrome fenders, beautiful factory gauges, and its original saddle, this classic Gold Wing is a true time capsule. Showing just 28,000 miles on the odometer, this motorcycle has spent approximately the last decade on indoor museum display. This is not a restored motorcycle. It has not been repainted or re-chromed. What you're looking at is an authentic, remarkably well-preserved survivor with over half a century of history! DOES NOT RUN / NEES RECOMMISSIONING AFTER LONG TERM MUSEUM DISPLAY THE MOTORCYCLE THAT REDEFINED TOURING When Honda introduced the GL1000 Gold Wing in 1975, it completely changed the landscape of motorcycling. With its sophisticated 999cc liquid-cooled, horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine, overhead camshafts, four carburetors, shaft drive, and triple disc brakes, the original Gold Wing was decades ahead of many of its competitors. The GL1000 established the foundation for what would become one of the most legendary touring motorcycle families in history. This particular motorcycle is a 1976 model, the second year of Gold Wing production , making it one of the earliest examples of this revolutionary machine. In celebration of the Gold Wing's 50th anniversary, Honda showcased its heritage at Daytona International Speedway, and this very motorcycle was proudly displayed at the New England Motorcycle Museum to honor that same milestone. Now, as we make room for several new collections entering the museum, we're offering this beautiful original example to its next caretaker. EXCEPTIONAL ORIGINAL COSMETIC CONDITION For a motorcycle approaching its 51st year, the overall cosmetic condition of this GL1000 is absolutely outstanding. The preservation of its original paint, chrome, instruments, and factory components is what makes this motorcycle special. Highlights include: Original Candy Antares Red factory paint with beautiful gold pinstriping Original chrome front and rear fenders Original factory saddle in excellent preserved condition Only 28,000 indicated miles Beautiful original gauges and instrumentation Original ignition switch with key Original fuel gauge Factory handlebar switch housings with exceptionally legible lettering Excellent fork tube chrome with no noticeable pitting Clean, undamaged engine cases Original taillight assembly intact Upgraded Italian handlebar grips Smooth-operating clutch lever Smooth-operating throttle assembly No visible evidence of significant crash damage Engine exterior appears clean and dry, with no visible oil leaks Approximately 30 years of indoor museum display history The original finish is especially impressive. The paint has a deep, beautiful appearance, and the factory gold pinstriping complements the red perfectly. The side covers retain their original finish with some minor age-related beauty marks. The front chrome fender has a couple of very small dings, and there is a small area that could benefit from some minor paint touch-up. These are honest imperfections consistent with a motorcycle of this age. The original engine cases look excellent, with no significant scratches or damage noted during our inspection. The fork tubes are remarkably well preserved, and the original handlebar controls still have clear, readable markings, something you rarely see on motorcycles that have spent decades exposed to the elements. This is the type of original preservation that collectors appreciate and that a restoration simply cannot duplicate. A LEGENDARY 999CC HONDA FLAT-FOUR The original GL1000 Gold Wing is powered by Honda's legendary 999cc liquid-cooled, horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine. Factory specifications: Engine: 999cc liquid-cooled, horizontally opposed four-cylinder Valve train: Single overhead camshaft per cylinder bank Fuel system: Four carburetors Transmission: 5-speed manual Final drive: Shaft drive Front brakes: Dual hydraulic discs Rear brake: Single hydraulic disc Cooling: Liquid-cooled Starting system: Electric start Model year: 1976 These original Gold Wings earned an outstanding reputation for smooth power delivery, mechanical durability, and long-distance reliability. One of the GL1000's most fascinating design features is its unconventional fuel tank arrangement. What appears to be the fuel tank directly in front of the rider is actually a storage compartment, while the real fuel tank is mounted low in the chassis beneath the seat area. This innovative layout helped Honda achieve a lower center of gravity and excellent stability for such a substantial motorcycle. The result was a remarkably smooth, comfortable, and capable machine that helped establish the modern long-distance touring motorcycle. MECHANICAL CONDITION – IMPORTANT INFORMATION PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: THIS MOTORCYCLE IS BEING SOLD AS-IS, AS A NON-RUNNING RECOMMISSIONING PROJECT. This beautiful Honda has been on static display in the museum for approximately 10 years. Because of its extended storage, it will require a complete mechanical recommissioning before being returned to road service. We recommend planning for the following work: Complete carburetor removal, cleaning, inspection, and rebuilding as necessary Fuel tank inspection and thorough cleaning Complete fuel system inspection and servicing New battery

This is a genuine piece of 1970s motorcycle history, from the era when Indian-branded motorcycles included lightweight, European-powered machines designed for both on-road and off-road adventures. What makes this particular Indian special is its remarkable originality. This motorcycle appears to retain nearly all of its original equipment, including the factory paint, handlebars, mirrors, seat, lighting, exhaust, wheels, and numerous hard-to-find components. The odometer shows just 2,845 miles! These classic Indian enduros are increasingly difficult to find, especially in such complete, largely unmodified condition.

MECHANICAL CONDITION – PROJECT BIKE This Indian has been sitting in collector storage for decades and is being offered AS-IS, NOT CURRENTLY RUNNING, AS A RESTORATION PROJECT. The good news is that the engine is not seized! We checked the kickstarter, and the engine turns over with good compression. The clutch operates smoothly, the transmission shifts in and out of gear, and both the front and rear brakes function. These are encouraging signs for anyone looking for a vintage motorcycle to bring back to life. The motorcycle has not been started or road-tested by our shop. It will require a complete mechanical recommissioning before being returned to service, including inspection and servicing of the fuel system, carburetor, ignition, brakes, and other age-related components. The tires appear to be very old, possibly original, and will need replacement. The front tire currently does not hold air, so the tubes will also require attention. The battery will need replacement. The front air forks are currently collapsed due to having no air pressure. They will require inspection, and the fork seals may need replacement. This motorcycle has been sitting for many years, so buyers should anticipate the usual service and restoration work associated with a 50-year-old machine. We have not attempted to start this motorcycle, and we make no guarantees regarding its mechanical condition. It is being sold exactly as it was received. COSMETIC CONDITION – AN AMAZING ORIGINAL SURVIVOR Take a close look at the photos and video! The beauty of this Indian is how complete and original it remains after half a century. The original front fender is exceptionally well preserved. The factory forks, reflectors, handlebars, mirrors, and lighting equipment remain intact. The chrome wheels still retain some shine, and the original chrome chain guard is present. The engine cases feature the distinctive Indian head emblem, a fantastic detail that makes this motorcycle a particularly interesting collector's piece. The original exhaust system remains in place, which is another big plus when restoring a vintage motorcycle. We see no obvious evidence of major crash damage, and the motorcycle appears to have survived its 50 years without significant modifications. The original seat is still present. The seat cover has an Indian marking on the rear and a small duct-tape repair. The original seat foam has deteriorated and collapsed with age, so the seat will require restoration. There is age-related wear, deterioration, and patina throughout, as expected on an unrestored antique motorcycle. Rather than cosmetically restoring this machine and erasing its history, we are offering it in its original survivor condition, allowing the next owner to decide how far to take the restoration. A RARE PIECE OF INDIAN MOTORCYCLE HISTORY While most people associate Indian motorcycles with large American V-twins, the Indian name also appeared on lightweight motorcycles during the 1970s. These smaller Indian enduro machines offered riders the excitement of a high-revving two-stroke engine in a lightweight chassis with street equipment and off-road styling. This MI175 features the desirable Minarelli two-stroke engine with its distinctive radial head, a classic period design. With its upright dirt-bike-style seating position, street lighting equipment, passenger pegs, and classic enduro proportions, it represents a fascinating era of dual-purpose motorcycles. For an Indian motorcycle enthusiast, vintage enduro collector, or Indian dealership, this would make a fantastic restoration candidate or display piece.

MOTORCYCLE HIGHLIGHTS Year: 1976 Make: Kawasaki Model: KZ400 Engine: 398cc Air-Cooled, Four-Stroke Parallel Twin Transmission: 5-Speed Manual Mileage: 17,700 Miles Showing on Odometer Condition: Non-Running Restoration Project Engine: Turns Over Freely – Not Seized Exhaust: Original Factory Exhaust, Painted Black Rear Suspension: Upgraded Mahalin Shocks Seat: Custom Jack Specialties King & Queen Seat Wheels: Classic Chrome Spoke Wheels Fenders: Original-Style Chrome Fenders Sale Condition: As-Is, Parts or Restoration Project CLASSIC KAWASAKI STYLE WITH PERIOD UPGRADES One of the great things about these vintage Kawasaki KZ400s is their timeless styling. The classic fuel tank, chrome fenders, chrome spoked wheels, and compact parallel-twin engine give these motorcycles the unmistakable look of a 1970s Japanese classic. This particular example retains much of its original equipment, with a couple of interesting period-style upgrades. The rear suspension has upgraded shocks , and the motorcycle is equipped with a Drag Specialties King & Queen seat , giving it a distinctive old-school custom look. The original factory exhaust system is still installed, although the mufflers have been painted black. They initially appeared to be aftermarket MAC megaphone mufflers, but upon closer inspection, they are the factory exhaust. These original components make this motorcycle an excellent foundation for someone looking to preserve a vintage Kawasaki or restore it to its former glory. MECHANICAL CONDITION – RESTORATION PROJECT This KZ400 was stored indoors in Mike's warehouse for decades and has not been recommissioned. The engine turns over and is not seized , which is an encouraging starting point for a restoration. The motorcycle is currently not running, and we have not performed a mechanical restoration or comprehensive inspection. The airbox-to-carburetor intake boots are missing. We believe Mike may have been planning to rebuild the carburetors before he passed away, but that work was never completed. The motorcycle will require a complete mechanical inspection and recommissioning before being put back into service. This may include fuel system cleaning, carburetor service, replacement of missing intake boots, brake system inspection, tires, fluids, battery, electrical inspection, and any additional repairs found necessary. The fuel tank has a visible dent on one side, as shown in the photos and video. Overall, this is a good, substantially complete vintage Kawasaki with plenty of restoration potential. WHY WE LOVE THE KAWASAKI KZ400 Having personally ridden and restored numerous KZ400 and KZ440 motorcycles over the years, I can tell you firsthand that these are some of the most enjoyable classic Japanese motorcycles to own. They're lightweight, have a relatively low seat height, and are exceptionally easy to handle. The parallel-twin engine offers a great balance of performance, simplicity, and classic motorcycle character. These bikes have an excellent power-to-weight ratio for their class, and they're fun around town, on back roads, or just cruising on a beautiful summer afternoon. We've built some really nice KZ400s here at Kaplan Cycles, and they sound absolutely fantastic with the right exhaust system! Personally, I would restore this motorcycle rather than part it out. It's a classic Kawasaki with character, good bones, and a lot of potential. PART OF A 23-MOTORCYCLE ESTATE COLLECTION This motorcycle came from the estate of our late friend Mike, a dedicated Connecticut motorcycle enthusiast who spent years collecting vintage Japanese motorcycles. His collection included 23 motorcycles, featuring classic Hondas, Yamahas, Kawasakis, and other vintage machines. After Mike's passing, his family contacted us about purchasing the collection. We acquired the motorcycles and are now offering several of them to collectors and enthusiasts who can bring them back to life. With approximately 240 motorcycles already in our restoration backlog at Kaplan Cycles, we simply don't have the time to restore every motorcycle that comes through our doors. Instead, we're offering this KZ400 in its current condition so another enthusiast can take on the project and enjoy bringing a classic Kawasaki back to the road. IMPORTANT SALE INFORMATION THIS MOTORCYCLE IS BEING SOLD AS-IS, AS A NON-RUNNING RESTORATION PROJECT OR PARTS BIKE. SOLD ON BILL OF SALE ONLY / ASK ABOUT OUR TITLE PROGRAM. The engine turns over but has not been started or road-tested. Mechanical condition is unknown beyond what is specifically described.

SOLD ON BILL OF SALE / ASK ABOUT OUR TITLE PROGRAM BEAUTIFUL 1975 BMW R60/6 – 600CC BOXER TWIN – ORIGINAL FACTORY PAINT – A TRUE GERMAN CLASSIC! Kaplan Cycles is proud to offer this outstanding 1975 BMW R60/6, a remarkably well-preserved, 51-year-old German classic showing just 27,000 miles on the odometer! This beautiful vintage BMW was the crown jewel of a recently acquired 23-motorcycle estate collection from a longtime Connecticut motorcycle enthusiast. Featuring its original factory paint, original saddle, factory exhaust system, excellent chrome, and remarkably clean overall presentation, this is an exceptional opportunity for the BMW enthusiast, collector, or vintage motorcycle rider. This motorcycle is being offered AS-IS as a non-running recommissioning project. It has been stored for approximately two decades and will require mechanical servicing before returning to the road. However, its impressive originality and cosmetic condition make it an especially appealing candidate for preservation rather than a complete restoration. THE LEGENDARY BMW R60/6 Introduced as part of BMW's celebrated /6 series, the R60/6 represented the smaller-displacement offering in BMW's 1975 boxer-twin motorcycle lineup. Built in Germany to BMW's legendary standards of engineering and durability, these motorcycles have earned a devoted following among enthusiasts worldwide. Factory Model Highlights: Year: 1975 Manufacturer: BMW Motorrad Model: R60/6 Engine: 599cc air-cooled, horizontally opposed boxer twin Transmission: 5-speed manual Drive System: Shaft drive Horsepower: Approximately 40 HP Starting System: Electric start and kickstarter Fuel System: Dual Bing carburetors Suspension: Telescopic front forks with twin rear shocks Brakes: Front disc and rear drum Odometer: Approximately 27,000 miles displayed Paint: Original factory finish Condition: Non-running, as-is project motorcycle Documentation: Notarized bill of sale; title assistance available for an additional fee The BMW airhead boxer engine is one of motorcycling's most iconic designs. Known for its simplicity, longevity, low center of gravity, and smooth highway manners, it helped establish BMW's reputation as a manufacturer of exceptional long-distance motorcycles. These machines were designed to cover serious mileage while remaining comfortable, predictable, and enjoyable to ride. A SPECIAL MOTORCYCLE FROM AN EXTRAORDINARY PRIVATE COLLECTION This BMW came from the estate of Mike, a respected furniture dealer and longtime motorcycle enthusiast from Torrington, Connecticut, who recently passed away. Mike was a passionate collector with more than 30 motorcycles, including rare European machines, modern Ducatis, an MV Agusta, a Triumph, and an impressive selection of vintage Japanese motorcycles. Following his passing, family members and close friends acquired several motorcycles from his collection. Kaplan Cycles was fortunate to purchase 23 of the remaining classics. Of the motorcycles we acquired, this BMW R60/6 was, in our opinion, the crown jewel of the collection. It is increasingly difficult to find a 1970s BMW with this level of originality and preservation. The motorcycle has not undergone an extensive cosmetic restoration or professional detailing. In fact, all we have done is wash it and wipe it down. The paint has not even been buffed or polished! Its excellent presentation is a testament to the care it received during its life and its years in protected storage. REMARKABLE ORIGINAL COSMETIC CONDITION A close inspection reveals numerous original components and finishes that have survived exceptionally well over the past five decades. Original Factory Paint: The fuel tank retains its original finish, which presents beautifully for its age. There is attractive, honest patina consistent with a well-preserved antique motorcycle. Excellent Fuel Tank: The exterior looks outstanding, and the inside retains its original-style red protective coating. A visual inspection of the tank interior revealed an encouraging appearance. Original Gauges: The factory instruments are exceptionally clean, with crisp, clear presentation. The odometer displays approximately 27,000 miles. Beautiful Chrome Handlebars: The handlebar chrome is in excellent condition and looks remarkably fresh. Original Factory Saddle: The original seat remains intact and presents very well, preserving the authentic appearance of the motorcycle. Factory Exhaust System: The original exhaust system remains installed and intact. One exhaust pipe has visible chrome pitting, while the opposite side presents considerably better. The affected chrome could be refinished or preserved as part of the bike's original patina. Original Center Stand and Side Stand: Both are present. Front Suspension: The original front fork gaiters appear to be in good condition. Cylinder Heads: Both cylinder heads present well, without the typical obvious impact damage or heavy scraping commonly found on boxer BMWs that have been dropped. Original Ignition Key: Included with the motorcycle. Overall Appearance: An exceptionally appealing, largely original survivor with the kind of authentic character that vintage BMW enthusiasts appreciate. MECHANICAL CONDITION – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY This motorcycle has been sitting in storage for approximately two decades and is NOT currently running. The previous owner appears to have begun servicing the motorcycle before his passing, but the work was never completed. During our preliminary visual inspection, we observed the following: The motorcycle is missing its battery. The carburetor/intake area has been partially disassembled. One intake boot is missing. An existing intake boot and its clamps

BEAUTIFUL ORANGE FINISH! ORIGINAL COMPONENTS! EXCELLENT WINTER RESTORATION PROJECT! Up for sale at Kaplan Cycles / New England Motorcycle Museum is this beautiful 1975 Honda CB550 Four , a highly desirable vintage Japanese four-cylinder motorcycle finished in a stunning orange color. This classic Honda comes from Mike's private estate collection of 23 vintage motorcycles , which we recently acquired, including seven classic Hondas. This CB550 is one of the standout machines from the collection, retaining an impressive amount of its original equipment and showing just 18,076 miles on the odometer . The Honda CB550 Four has developed a loyal following among collectors, restorers, and vintage motorcycle enthusiasts. With its smooth inline-four engine, classic 1970s styling, and more manageable size compared to its big brother, the CB750 Four, the CB550 represents one of Honda's most enjoyable and iconic vintage motorcycles. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire an attractive, substantially original CB550 Four survivor that is ready for someone to bring it back to life! ORIGINALITY & CONDITION One of the most appealing features of this motorcycle is how complete and original it appears to be. The bike retains many of its original factory components, including: Beautiful orange fuel tank (NOT 100% SURE IF PAINT IS ORIGINAL BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS) Original front and rear turn signals Original handlebars and controls Original factory saddle Original side covers Period four-into-one exhaust system Original factory rear shocks Original switch housings and handlebar mounting hardware Original gauges and instrumentation The motorcycle shows 18,076 miles , and the instrument faces appear crisp, clear, and well-preserved. The handlebar switch housings are intact, and the mounting bolts and hardware are in good condition. The original shocks and turn signals also present nicely. The fuel tank is particularly noteworthy, with an interior that appears exceptionally clean for a motorcycle of this vintage. Based on our inspection, there are no obvious signs of major crash damage, and the motorcycle presents as a clean, substantially original survivor. Finding a 50-plus-year-old Honda Four with this much original equipment still intact is becoming increasingly difficult. Many of these motorcycles were extensively modified, neglected, parted out, or ridden into the ground decades ago. This one has survived and deserves to be preserved! MECHANICAL CONDITION – PROJECT MOTORCYCLE IMPORTANT: THIS MOTORCYCLE IS BEING SOLD AS-IS, AS A NON-RUNNING RESTORATION PROJECT. The motorcycle has not been serviced or prepared for road use by our shop. The following items are known to require attention: Carburetors will need to be inspected, cleaned, and likely rebuilt. Carburetor intake boots are missing and will need to be replaced. Ignition key is missing. Ignition lock/key assembly will need attention or replacement as necessary. The complete fuel system should be inspected and serviced. All normal recommissioning procedures should be completed before attempting to ride the motorcycle. The previous owner had removed the carburetor boots, and we believe he may have intended to rebuild or service the carburetors before his passing. Unfortunately, that work was never completed. Replacement ignition components, carburetor parts, and other service items are available through various vintage Honda parts suppliers. The engine has not been represented as running, and no guarantees are made regarding its internal mechanical condition. This is a restoration project, not a ready-to-ride motorcycle. THE LEGENDARY HONDA CB550 FOUR The Honda CB550 Four was one of the finest middleweight motorcycles of the 1970s. Developed from the earlier CB500 Four, the CB550 offered additional displacement, improved performance, and the legendary smoothness of Honda's inline-four engine. Factory Model Specifications: Year: 1975 Manufacturer: Honda Model: CB550 Four Engine: 544cc air-cooled inline four-cylinder Configuration: Four-stroke, SOHC, eight-valve Carburetion: Four individual carburetors Transmission: 5-speed manual Starting System: Electric start and kickstarter Front Brake: Hydraulic disc Rear Brake: Mechanical drum Final Drive: Chain Odometer Reading: 18,076 miles Color: Orange The CB550 delivered the signature sound, sophistication, and smooth power delivery of Honda's legendary Four series in a slightly smaller and more maneuverable package than the CB750. Its relatively lightweight chassis and responsive engine made it popular with riders who wanted the performance and prestige of a four-cylinder motorcycle without the additional size and weight of a 750. Today, these motorcycles are particularly popular with vintage Japanese motorcycle collectors, restoration enthusiasts, and cafe racer builders. Although the CB550 platform has become popular for custom builds, finding a complete original-style survivor like this one makes preservation or a sympathetic restoration especially appealing. PART OF A 23-MOTORCYCLE PRIVATE COLLECTION This CB550 was acquired from Mike's estate as part of an impressive collection of 23 classic motorcycles, including seven Hondas. Other motorcycles from this collection include: Honda CB750 Four Honda CB500 Twin Two Honda CB350 Twins Honda MR250 Elsinore Vintage Honda 50cc motorcycle These motorcycles represent a fantastic cross-section of Honda's golden era.

The Yamaha DT400 is one of our all-time favorite vintage Enduro motorcycles. These legendary big-bore, single-cylinder two-strokes have developed an enthusiastic following among collectors, restorers, and vintage off-road enthusiasts. This particular DT400 is an excellent candidate for a complete restoration or just get it running as is preservation project. It retains many of its original factory components, including the fuel tank, seat, exhaust, handlebars, gauges, suspension, and engine cases. This motorcycle is currently NOT running and is being offered AS-IS as a restoration project. FROM A PRIVATE CONNECTICUT MOTORCYCLE COLLECTION This DT400 was recently acquired as part of a private collection belonging to our late friend Mike, a lifelong Connecticut motorcycle enthusiast who sadly passed away at just 62 years old. Mike had assembled an impressive collection of classic Japanese motorcycles, including several desirable Yamahas. We acquired the collection from his estate and are now offering a number of these motorcycles to collectors and enthusiasts who will appreciate and preserve them. Other Yamahas from this collection include: Yamaha 100cc street bike Yamaha Chappy 100 Yamaha R5 350 two-stroke Yamaha DT400 Enduro Yamaha XT500 Yamaha XS500 Yamaha 750 triple All are being offered as individual restoration projects in their as-acquired condition. At Kaplan Cycles, we currently have approximately 240 motorcycles in inventory awaiting various levels of service or restoration, with additional collections arriving. Although we originally intended to restore this DT400 ourselves, our restoration department has a substantial backlog. Rather than have this classic Yamaha sit awaiting its turn, we've decided to offer it to the next caretaker who can bring it back to its former glory. ORIGINALITY, COSMETIC CONDITION & FEATURES One of the most appealing aspects of this DT400 is the number of original factory components still present. Fuel Tank: The original factory Yamaha fuel tank remains intact and presents well for its age. The exterior is in good overall condition, and the inside of the tank also appears to be in good condition. Finding an original DT400 fuel tank in respectable condition is a major advantage when beginning a restoration. Mileage: The factory instrumentation shows only 4,830 miles . This is relatively low indicated mileage for a motorcycle of this vintage. Actual mileage has not been independently verified. Engine: The original 400cc single-cylinder two-stroke engine kicks over and IS NOT SEIZED. The engine has not been started or tested under running conditions, NO COMPRESSION TEST WAS DONE. Front End & Suspension: The front end appears straight and intact. The original fork tubes and fork lowers are in decent condition. Both factory headlight mounting ears appear straight, without obvious bending or deformation. Gauges & Controls: The original factory gauges are in excellent cosmetic condition. The handlebars appear straight and in good condition, the switch housings are intact, and the original-style turn signals remain present. Seat: The original-style seat is in good overall condition. We installed the missing seat retaining pins after the video. Exhaust System: The motorcycle retains its original-style exhaust system, an important component for anyone seeking an authentic factory-style restoration. Rear Suspension & Wheels: The original rear shock absorbers are still installed. The motorcycle currently wears a knobby rear tire, a common modification on these dual-purpose Yamaha Enduros. Frame, Footpegs & Engine Cases: The frame, footpegs, and engine cases are in good overall condition. The motorcycle presents as a solid, substantially complete original survivor. Rear Taillight: The taillight currently installed is not the original factory unit. A correct replacement may be sourced during restoration. MECHANICAL CONDITION – PLEASE READ This is a 51-year-old motorcycle being sold as a NON-RUNNING RESTORATION PROJECT . Engine kicks over and is not seized. No formal engine compression test has been performed. Motorcycle has not been started or road-tested. Fuel system and carburetor will require cleaning, rebuilding, or replacement of components. Ignition, electrical, and oil-injection systems have not been fully evaluated. Brakes, tires, suspension, controls, and other safety-related components will require inspection and service before operation. Additional mechanical or cosmetic work may be necessary. We have not disassembled the engine or performed a comprehensive mechanical inspection. The buyer should plan on thoroughly inspecting and servicing this motorcycle before attempting to operate it. The DT400's relatively straightforward air-cooled, single-cylinder two-stroke design makes it an appealing motorcycle for enthusiasts familiar with vintage Japanese motorcycles. A FANTASTIC WINTER RESTORATION PROJECT! The 1975 Yamaha DT400 represents an exciting period in Yamaha's off-road history, when large-displacement two-stroke Enduros were among the most desirable dual-purpose motorcycles available. The DT400 combined the character of a powerful two-stroke engine with the versatility of a street-legal, off-road-capable motorcycle. Today, these machines are sought after by enthusiasts who appreciate their mechanical simplicity, unmistakable two-stroke sound, vintage styling, and historical significance.

FRAME-UP RESTORATION | RESTO-MOD Here's an outstanding opportunity to own a beautiful, 52-year-old, 1974 Yamaha DT175 Enduro that has been treated to a restoration and transformed into a lightweight, off-road-focused vintage trail machine! This is exactly the kind of motorcycle that made the early 1970s such an incredible era for motorcycling. Back then, a Yamaha DT175 was your ticket to freedom. You could spend an entire Saturday afternoon riding through the fields, exploring wooded trails, cruising around the farm, or simply enjoying the unmistakable sound and smell of a classic Yamaha two-stroke. These bikes were built to be ridden, and that's exactly what happened to most of them. They were ridden hard, modified, crashed, repaired, and eventually worn out or abandoned. Finding a surviving example that has received this much mechanical and cosmetic attention is becoming increasingly difficult. This DT175 has been given a second life, with extensive restoration work, beautiful refinished components, numerous new parts, and excellent running performance. It is not a perfect, factory-correct, concours-level restoration, and we're going to tell you exactly why. What it is, however, is a beautiful, well-sorted, rider-quality vintage Yamaha that offers tremendous enjoyment and exceptional value. 1) The Paint Job on the tank is an Amateur Job Done by the previous owner, looks good from 10' but up close you see the imperfections, we left it that way to keep price down, a show quality paint job can be done but will add $1,000 to the price if we send i to the paint shop. i think it looks fine as is for a dirt bike! 2) Original seat was recovered and it has the original seat foam which is harder than a plush new one would be (a new seat foam can be bought for $100 and installed yourself) 3) The Brake stay arm, triple clamps, frame bash plate, and kickstand have pitting from rust, they were sand blasted and repainted gloss black but the pitting is still visible. The frame is beautiful. 4) The exhaust was restored and repainted, it has a small ding on the front. 5) The chrome on the forks is pitted so the fork uppers were cleaned and wrapped in gloss black vinyl with new fork boots. RESTORED AS A LIGHTWEIGHT OFF-ROAD ENDURO Originally, the 1974 Yamaha DT175 was a street-legal dual-sport motorcycle equipped with a headlight, taillight, speedometer, tachometer, battery, and the other equipment necessary for street operation. Like many of these machines, this particular example was stripped of its road equipment earlier in its life and converted for off-road use. The lighting equipment, instruments, battery, and most of the original wiring harness are no longer present. The oil-injection system has also been removed, and the motorcycle is now configured to run on pre-mixed two-stroke fuel. Then rear shocks have been replaced with new reproductions that are stiff for 240+ lb rider. Removing the original road equipment has made the motorcycle substantially lighter, with an estimated weight savings of approximately 25 pounds compared to its original street-equipped configuration. The original airbox and intake snorkel have been retained, cleaned, and restored. The resulting machine is simple, lightweight, responsive, and a blast to ride. THIS IS A DEDICATED OFF-ROAD MOTORCYCLE IN ITS PRESENT CONFIGURATION, NOT A STREET-LEGAL MACHINE. FRAME-UP RESTORATION This Yamaha wasn't simply washed, detailed, and put up for sale. It was extensively disassembled and restored, with considerable attention paid to the engine, chassis, wheels, suspension, brakes, drivetrain, controls, and appearance. The frame was stripped of its major components and refinished in a beautiful black, powder-coat finish. Numerous original parts were carefully cleaned, polished, refinished, or replaced. The original chrome wheel rims were retained and cleaned, the hubs were refinished, the fork lowers were polished, and the engine cases and covers received extensive cosmetic attention. Brand-new tires, tubes, shocks, fenders, handlebars, controls, cables, chain, sprocket components, and hardware were installed. The finished motorcycle has the authentic character of a 1970s Yamaha Enduro, with a great combination of original components and tasteful off-road upgrades. ENGINE AND MECHANICAL RESTORATION The legendary Yamaha 175cc, air-cooled, reed-valve two-stroke single is one of the great small-displacement engines of the era. Known for its simple construction, impressive durability, and excellent power-to-weight ratio, this engine helped establish Yamaha's reputation for building dependable and enjoyable off-road motorcycles. This particular engine received extensive mechanical and cosmetic restoration. ENGINE AND DRIVETRAIN WORK INCLUDES: Has the original crankshaft in good working condition Original transmission retained Replacement clutch friction plates Engine removed, cleaned, and refinished Aluminum engine cases carefully cleaned and polished Original aluminum engine covers sanded and polished Cylinder refinished in black Cylinder head refinished Cooling-fin edges polished for a beautiful finished appearance Carburetor completely cleaned and restored New intake components New reed-valve intake hardware New fuel petcock New fuel lines New fuel filter New spark plug New spark plug cap Fresh transmission gear lubricant Original exhaust cleaned, sandblasted, and refinished COMPRESSION TEST RESULT: AN EXCELLENT 145 PSI! This Yamaha runs exceptionally well, with crisp throttle response and strong power delivery for a 175cc two-stroke. The restored carburetor looks excellent, and the polished engine cases and refinished cylinder give the engine a beautiful vintage appearance. The clutch friction plates have been replaced, and the engine has received the attention

BEAUTIFUL, LOW-HOUR ORIGINAL SURVIVOR FROM THE ROY THACKER COLLECTION! GOOD ORIGINAL PAINT & CHROME, NEW TIRES, GOOD COMPRESSION AND STRONG SPARK! A FANTASTIC VINTAGE MINIBIKE FOR THE SERIOUS COLLECTOR! does not run, needs carb rebuild, sold as-is Offered for sale by Kaplan Cycles and the New England Motorcycle Museum is this exceptionally well-preserved 1973 Gemini Boss 80, a rare piece of early 1970s minibike and off-road motorcycle history. If you've been collecting vintage motorcycles for decades, you may recognize the Gemini name. For many enthusiasts, however, these machines are a discovery. Gemini motorcycles were imported and sold in the United States during the early 1970s, offering young riders a legitimate small-displacement motorcycle with the features and capabilities of a much larger machine. These weren't just ordinary minibikes. Gemini motorcycles had a genuine competition heritage, with a Gemini reportedly winning a California State Championship in the period. They were popular with young riders looking for something more serious than a conventional minibike, and many were used for motocross, trail riding, and off-road competition. This particular example is an outstanding survivor that has spent years in the hands of collectors rather than being ridden into the ground. FROM THE ROY THACKER COLLECTION – NEW ENGLAND MOTORCYCLE MUSEUM DISPLAY We acquired this Gemini Boss 80 approximately two years ago as part of the remarkable motorcycle collection assembled by Roy Thacker. Roy was known for seeking out exceptionally original, low-mileage, well-preserved motorcycles. His collection included machines that had survived the decades with their original components, finishes, and character intact. This Gemini is a perfect example of the type of motorcycle Roy appreciated. It had reportedly been in storage for approximately ten years before we acquired the collection. Since arriving at Kaplan Cycles, this beautiful little machine has been on display at the New England Motorcycle Museum. With another major collection of motorcycles arriving, we're making room and offering this rare Gemini to its next caretaker. ORIGINALITY & COSMETIC CONDITION Take a close look at the photos and video. This little Gemini presents absolutely beautifully! We believe this is a highly original, low-hour survivor, retaining what appears to be its original factory paint and an impressive collection of original components. Highlights include: Believed original factory fuel tank paint with excellent presentation Original fuel cap with the distinctive BOSS lettering Original factory handlebars with the distinctive center bend Original handlebar levers and controls Original intake assembly Original triple clamps in excellent condition Original front forks with excellent-looking chrome Original chrome wheels with attractive surviving finishes Original factory seat cover, still in good condition Original footpegs and passenger footpeg Original frame paint that still retains an attractive shine New tires installed Complete, authentic vintage appearance No obvious evidence of serious racing abuse or crash damage We are approximately 95% confident that this motorcycle retains its original factory paint, although we cannot guarantee that every finish is untouched. The chrome on the wheels and front forks has survived remarkably well. The fork tubes look excellent, the triple clamps are clean, and the original handlebars are still present. The factory seat cover is another particularly nice detail. So many minibikes of this era were ridden hard, left outside, or modified beyond recognition. Finding one with its original seat, handlebars, intake, and other important components still intact is increasingly difficult. Even the factory fuel cap with the BOSS lettering is a great conversation piece! ENGINE & TRANSMISSION – MECHANICAL CONDITION The Gemini Boss 80 is powered by an approximately 80cc single-cylinder two-stroke engine paired with a four-speed manual transmission and hand-operated clutch , giving it the feel and operation of a full-size motorcycle. Unlike the automatic-clutch minibikes that were common during this period, the Gemini offered young riders a real manual-shift motorcycle experience. Our mechanical inspection confirmed the following: Engine kicks over smoothly Good compression verified during testing Strong ignition spark Transmission shifts through the gears Engine appears to be a good candidate for recommissioning We made an attempt to start the motorcycle using an auxiliary fuel supply because the original fuel tank requires cleaning. During our inspection, we determined that the carburetor needs more than a basic cleaning. It will require a complete rebuild, including replacement jets as necessary, or installation of a suitable replacement carburetor. The original fuel tank and fuel delivery system will also require cleaning and servicing before regular operation. IMPORTANT: This motorcycle is NOT currently running and is being sold AS-IS as a recommissioning project. The good news is that the engine has good compression, the ignition produces strong spark, and the transmission shifts through the gears. These are encouraging findings for the next owner. We believe that servicing the fuel system and rebuilding or replacing the carburetor are the logical next steps toward getting it running. However, because the motorcycle has been in long-term storage and has not been fully recommissioned or road-tested, additional work may be required. We have intentionally left this rare survivor largely in its original condition rather than performing a complete restoration. A RARE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE VINTAGE MINIBIKE COLLECTOR Think about how many

RARE ORIGINAL SUZUKI TM400 | LEGENDARY 400cc TWO-STROKE MOTOCROSS MACHINE | ORIGINAL PAINT & COMPONENTS | ONE-OWNER HISTORY | EXCELLENT RESTORATION CANDIDATE THE LEGENDARY SUZUKI TM400 “WIDOWMAKER”! Check out this incredible piece of motocross history! Offered for sale by Kaplan Cycles and the New England Motorcycle Museum is this 1973 Suzuki TM400 Cyclone , one of the most infamous and recognizable motocross motorcycles of the 1970s! Nicknamed the “Widowmaker,” the TM400 earned its reputation with a brutally powerful 400cc two-stroke engine, explosive power delivery, and handling characteristics that demanded the rider's full attention. These machines were absolute beasts in their day, and nearly 53 years later, they remain one of the most talked-about Japanese motocross bikes ever produced. This particular TM400 is something truly special: an exceptionally original, one-owner survivor that has avoided the modifications, abuse, and missing components so commonly found on vintage motocross machines. We purchased this motorcycle directly from its original owner, who had owned it since new. It retains an extraordinary number of its original factory components, right down to the handlebars, grips, levers, front tire, exhaust, and seat cover! Finding one of these legendary machines in this level of original, unrestored condition is becoming increasingly difficult. REMARKABLE ORIGINALITY – A TRUE SURVIVOR! What makes this TM400 so desirable is its incredible originality. Unlike so many vintage motocross bikes that have been raced, modified, stripped, or parted out over the decades, this example remains remarkably complete. Original factory components include: Original Suzuki fuel tank with factory green paint and TM graphics Original front and rear fenders Original factory number plates and side covers Original Suzuki 400cc two-stroke engine Original factory expansion-chamber exhaust Original handlebars and crossbar pad Original Suzuki factory handgrips Original clutch and brake levers Original seat and factory seat cover Original front and rear wheels Original front tire! Original footpegs Original frame and swingarm assembly The rear tire is the only replacement component identified. Take a close look at the photographs. Even the original painted fenders remain intact, with the characteristic black material visible beneath areas where the factory paint has chipped. These are the little details that make a genuine vintage survivor special. The original Suzuki grips are still on the handlebars. The factory levers remain intact. Even the original crossbar pad has survived more than five decades! This is exactly the kind of motorcycle that serious vintage Suzuki collectors and restoration enthusiasts appreciate. BEAUTIFUL ORIGINAL FACTORY FUEL TANK! One of the most valuable and difficult-to-find components on a vintage TM400 is the original fuel tank. This motorcycle still has its original factory green fuel tank with the distinctive TM graphics and blue-and-white accents! The tank presents exceptionally well for its age, with only one small ding noted on one side. Finding a good original TM400 tank today is no easy task. Many of these bikes were raced hard, crashed, or parted out decades ago, leaving original fuel tanks dented, damaged, or missing entirely. The tank on this motorcycle is a major highlight of the package and an excellent foundation for a museum-quality restoration or preservation project. ORIGINAL EXHAUST – ANOTHER HARD-TO-FIND COMPONENT! The factory exhaust system is another standout feature of this motorcycle. Anyone familiar with vintage motocross bikes knows how commonly the original expansion chambers were smashed, crushed, or replaced during their racing careers. This TM400 retains its original factory exhaust , which is in remarkably good condition for its age. There are a couple of small dents, but the pipe has not suffered the extensive crushing and damage so commonly seen on unrestored motocross machines. The original exhaust alone is a significant asset for anyone planning a historically accurate restoration. LOW-WEAR CHASSIS – EXCELLENT RESTORATION FOUNDATION! Based on our inspection, this motorcycle appears to have seen relatively limited use compared with many surviving vintage motocross bikes. The frame is in excellent condition, with no significant damage noted. The wheel bearings remain tight, and there is no noticeable play in the swingarm pivot. The original wheels, forks, handlebars, controls, and footpegs remain intact. These details are encouraging indicators of the motorcycle's overall condition and make it an especially appealing candidate for a proper restoration. The engine also turns over and is NOT seized . However, the motorcycle is not currently running and will require mechanical repairs before it can be operated. IMPORTANT MECHANICAL DISCLOSURE – ENGINE CASE REPAIR REQUIRED We want to be completely transparent about this motorcycle's condition. According to the original owner, during the mid-1970s he damaged the lower engine case while riding the motorcycle. At the time, he applied an epoxy-type repair, similar to JB Weld, to the damaged areas. That old repair remains visible today. The engine cases are damaged and will need to be replaced or professionally repaired before this motorcycle can be safely returned to running condition. Replacement engine cases can be sourced through ebay or through the vintage Suzuki forums parts market. The engine turns over and is not seized, but we have not completed a full engine teardown or internal inspection. The motorcycle will also require the normal inspection and recommissioning expected of a vintage machine that has been sitting for many years. It is being sold strictly

A SPECTACULAR 53-YEAR-OLD YAMAHA CLASSIC! FULL NUT-AND-BOLT RESTORATION! EXTREMELY LOW MILES! RARE SURVIVOR! Feast your eyes on this absolutely stunning 1973 Yamaha AT3 125 Enduro, a beautifully restored example of one of Yamaha's most iconic early 1970s street-legal two-strokes! Finished in its gorgeous factory-correct Brigade Blue , this 53-year-old classic has undergone an extensive, no-expense-spared, frame-off restoration. The result is an exceptionally beautiful, mechanically sorted, collector-quality Yamaha that looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor in 1973! Showing approximately 1,003 miles, this motorcycle spent many years in a private collection before receiving a comprehensive nut-and-bolt restoration. Finding an AT3 this clean is extraordinarily difficult. Finding one with such low mileage, its original street equipment intact, and this level of restoration is something truly special. This is not your average vintage Yamaha Enduro. This is an outstanding investment-grade-quality restoration intended for the serious Yamaha enthusiast, vintage motorcycle collector, or someone who wants to relive the golden age of motorcycling. THE LAST OF THE AT SERIES – A TRUE YAMAHA CLASSIC The 1973 Yamaha AT3 represents the final chapter of Yamaha's legendary AT-series 125cc Enduros before the subsequent DT125 designation. These motorcycles helped define an entire generation of riding. For a young man growing up in the early 1970s, owning one of these was the ultimate ticket to freedom! You could ride it to school during the week, strap your gym bag or lunch onto the factory luggage rack, and head out for adventure after class. On the weekends, you could put your sweetheart on the back, ride down to the beach, meet your friends at the local sand pits, or explore the trails. Unlike a dedicated dirt bike, the Yamaha AT3 came equipped with everything needed for street use: Factory headlight and taillight Front and rear turn signals Speedometer and tachometer Electric starting system Passenger footpegs Rear luggage rack Street and trail capability Yamaha's legendary oil-injected two-stroke engine These little Yamahas were practically bulletproof, and that's exactly why so few beautiful originals survived. Most were ridden hard, crashed in the woods, stripped of their lights and turn signals, and eventually worn out. Not this one! This remarkable example survived with its beautiful original components intact, spent many years in a private collection, and shows approximately 1,003 miles. Its exceptional preservation made it the perfect candidate for a comprehensive restoration. And that's precisely what it received. COMPLETE FRAME-OFF, NUT-AND-BOLT RESTORATION This motorcycle was completely dismantled, right down to the bare frame. The engine was removed, the chassis disassembled, and each component individually evaluated, refinished, polished, painted, plated, or replaced as necessary. The frame was professionally sandblasted and powder coated in its original black finish. The fuel tank received a beautiful repaint , a spectacular deep blue with an almost purplish tint that perfectly captures the styling of the early 1970s. The original-style tank graphics were applied, and the paintwork and overall fit and finish are absolutely outstanding. The oil injection tank was refinished, and the rear fender was repainted in its original metallic silver. The attention to detail throughout this restoration is extraordinary. CHASSIS, PAINT & COSMETIC RESTORATION Complete frame-off restoration Frame professionally sandblasted and powder coated black Fuel tank interior thoroughly cleaned and restored Oil injection tank professionally repainted Rear fender refinished in factory-correct metallic silver Original chrome wheels beautifully preserved Wheel hubs vapor honed and refinished Original aluminum brake backing plates polished Original exhaust system beautifully restored Original exhaust baffle retained Factory exhaust nameplate in exceptional condition Original rear shocks beautifully preserved Factory passenger pegs retained Rider footpegs and brake pedal refinished Kickstand refinished Hardware individually polished, painted, plated, or restored New seat cover installed Brand-new rear drive chain with gold finish Black rear sprocket Original-style chain guide beautifully preserved Everywhere you look, the quality of this restoration speaks for itself. The original chrome rims are gorgeous. The aluminum components shine. The restored black chassis provides a stunning contrast against the deep blue fuel tank and silver fender. The level of detail is remarkable for a motorcycle of this vintage. BEAUTIFULLY RESTORED FRONT END & CONTROLS Take a close look at the handlebars, controls, headlight, and front suspension. These are the areas where most vintage Enduros show decades of abuse, corrosion, and wear. On this machine, they look absolutely spectacular. Beautiful original chrome handlebars Brand-new mirrors Brand-new handlebar grips Exceptionally clean clutch and brake levers Pristine original speedometer and tachometer Beautiful original ignition switch Excellent chrome hardware and fasteners Beautiful headlight bucket and chrome headlight ring Restored and polished aluminum fork lowers Brand-new fork seals New fork rubber components Steering stem bearings serviced during restoration Original front and rear turn signals in outstanding condition The condition of the gauges is especially impressive. The faces, bezels, and surrounding hardware look exceptionally fresh. The fork hardware, headlight hardware, and chrome trim have been meticulously restored. It is extremely difficult to find these components in this condition after more than five decades. FULLY

INCREDIBLY WELL-PRESERVED 1972 SUZUKI RV90 – ORIGINAL FACTORY PAINT – ORIGINAL BRIDGESTONE TIRES BELIEVED TO BE FACTORY INSTALLED – 130 PSI COMPRESSION – NEW CLUTCH – BEAUTIFULLY DETAILED! Feast your eyes on this remarkable 1972 Suzuki RV90 VanVan! Finding a vintage off-road motorcycle that has survived more than half a century is one thing. Finding one in this extraordinary condition, still wearing its original factory paint, original components, and showing only 1,624 miles , is something entirely different! This is an exceptionally well-preserved, low-mileage original survivor that has clearly enjoyed a sheltered and carefully maintained life. Unlike so many vintage trail bikes that have been ridden hard, modified, neglected, or completely restored, this RV90 retains an astonishing amount of its factory-original character. THIS IS NOT A FRAME-OFF RESTORATION. THIS IS A GENUINE ORIGINAL-PAINT SURVIVOR! Our team at Kaplan Cycles has performed extensive mechanical servicing and cosmetic detailing to bring this beautiful little Suzuki to its current presentation while preserving its originality wherever possible. The result is one of those increasingly difficult-to-find vintage Japanese motorcycles that looks fantastic, runs excellent, and represents a wonderful piece of early 1970s motorcycling history. INCREDIBLE ORIGINALITY – A TRUE SURVIVOR! What makes this RV90 particularly special is the number of original components that remain intact after more than five decades. Highlights include: Only 1,624 miles showing on the odometer Original factory paint on the fuel tank and primary painted bodywork Original factory side covers Original frame and chassis Original handlebars (Bars painted Silver Because the Chrome Peeled) and control levers Original headlight and taillight assemblies Original horn Original footpegs and gear shifter Original factory decals, including the rear decal Original manufacturer's identification/build tag still intact Original factory-style long saddle Original passenger footpegs Original wheels, professionally refinished in black Original-style CCI two-stroke oil injection system Original onboard tire inflation pump Original Bridgestone tires believed to be factory installed THE ORIGINAL BUILD TAG IS STILL PRESENT AND REMARKABLY WELL PRESERVED! This is one of those small but significant details that tells a story about the motorcycle's life. On most off-road bikes of this vintage, these tags are worn, faded, damaged, or missing entirely. The condition of this example is consistent with a motorcycle that has seen exceptionally light use. Even the original decals have survived beautifully! MECHANICALLY SERVICED – 130 PSI COMPRESSION – NEW CLUTCH! This motorcycle isn't simply a vintage display piece. Our technicians at Kaplan Cycles have carefully inspected and serviced the machine to ensure it is mechanically sound and operating properly. The previous owner removed the cylinder and installed a new piston. During that work, a small portion of one cylinder cooling fin was accidentally cracked when the cylinder was pried upward. This minor cosmetic imperfection does not affect the engine's operation. We want to disclose it for complete transparency. Our technicians performed a compression test, and the engine produced an excellent 130 PSI compression reading! Recent mechanical servicing includes: New piston installed by the previous owner Compression tested at 130 PSI Brand-new clutch installed by Kaplan Cycles Fresh transmission/gear oil New spark plug Engine inspected and tuned Operational inspection of the clutch and transmission Fuel and ignition systems checked during servicing Headlight tested and operational Taillight tested and operational Horn tested and operational General mechanical inspection and service The RV90 features Suzuki's proven air-cooled, two-stroke engine with its convenient CCI automatic oil injection system , eliminating the need to premix gasoline and two-stroke oil during normal operation when the injection system is functioning properly. Unlike some small fat-tire motorcycles equipped with automatic transmissions, this Suzuki features a manual transmission with a hand-operated clutch , giving the rider a traditional motorcycle riding experience. It is lightweight, manageable, easy to operate, and an absolute blast to ride! EXTENSIVE PROFESSIONAL COSMETIC DETAILING! Although this motorcycle retains its original factory paint and the overwhelming majority of its original components, we have performed a significant amount of cosmetic preservation and refinishing to enhance its appearance. Cosmetic work includes: Engine side covers refinished Exposed aluminum surfaces polished Exhaust system refinished in black Original wheel rims repainted black Swingarm repainted Ignition cover refinished Countershaft sprocket cover refinished New gold drive chain installed Sprocket cleaned and refinished Extensive hand detailing of the engine and chassis General cleaning and polishing throughout The beautifully preserved factory-painted bodywork contrasts nicely with the refinished black wheels, exhaust, and drivetrain components. The result is an incredibly attractive vintage Suzuki that retains the unmistakable look and character of an original 1972 machine. Approximately 99% original in configuration and major components, with select service items and cosmetic refinishing as described. POSSIBLY THE ORIGINAL 1971-DATED BRIDGESTONE TIRES! Here's another remarkable detail. At first glance, the big, balloon-style Bridgestone tires appear almost new because of their exceptional tread condition. Upon closer inspection, we discovered a marking indicating 71 production , which we believe may correspond to an early 1971 manufacturing date.

A STUNNING, LOW-MILEAGE, HIGHLY ORIGINAL HONDA CLASSIC! Feast your eyes on the class of 1971! This absolutely spectacular 1971 Honda CB175 Super Sport is one of the finest original examples you're likely to encounter. Showing just 3,861 original miles , this beautifully preserved Honda retains its original factory candy paint, original chrome, original exhaust system, original saddle, original wheels, and an extraordinary amount of its original factory equipment. This is not a fully restored motorcycle. It's something increasingly difficult to find: a remarkably well-preserved, low-mileage survivor that has received an extensive mechanical and cosmetic reconditioning while preserving its original character and authenticity. From the beautiful factory paint to the original dual exhaust system, the condition of this motorcycle speaks volumes about the care it has received throughout its life. Stored indoors and protected from the elements, this Honda has survived more than five decades in exceptional condition. And with an extensive professional reconditioning just completed by the team at Kaplan Cycles, it's ready to be enjoyed, displayed, and appreciated by its next caretaker. THE LEGENDARY HONDA CB175 SUPER SPORT Honda's small-displacement twin-cylinder motorcycles helped establish the company's reputation for engineering excellence, reliability, and performance during the golden era of Japanese motorcycling. The CB175 was a perfect example of Honda's racing-inspired engineering philosophy, delivering impressive performance from a compact, lightweight four-stroke parallel-twin engine. Features include: 174cc air-cooled, four-stroke parallel-twin engine Dual carburetors Five-speed manual transmission Factory dual exhaust system Electric start and kickstart Dual-leading-shoe front drum brake Spoke wheels with chrome rims Classic Honda factory candy paint Chrome fenders and original period styling Lightweight, nimble handling Classic high-revving Honda twin-cylinder performance These little Honda twins are an absolute blast to ride. They're lightweight, responsive, smooth-running, and surprisingly spirited for their displacement. The combination of the five-speed gearbox, dual carburetors, twin-cylinder engine, and dual exhaust delivers the unmistakable sound and character that made these machines so popular. ONLY 3,861 ORIGINAL MILES! The low mileage is remarkable, but what's even more impressive is how much of this motorcycle remains original. The original factory paint is still present on the fuel tank, side covers, headlight assembly, and fork covers. The original chrome remains in excellent condition, the saddle has survived beautifully, and the original exhaust system is still intact. Even the original control cables, handlebar levers, turn signals, and factory hardware have been preserved. Finding a 1971 Honda CB175 in this condition is becoming increasingly difficult. Many surviving examples have been neglected, modified, repainted, or completely restored. This motorcycle retains the character, factory finishes, and authenticity that serious vintage Honda enthusiasts appreciate. EXTENSIVE PROFESSIONAL RECONDITIONING – 44 HOURS OF SHOP LABOR PLUS PARTS! Although this Honda arrived at Kaplan Cycles in exceptional original condition, we wanted to make sure it looked and performed as well as possible. Our technicians performed a comprehensive mechanical service and cosmetic reconditioning, carefully disassembling, cleaning, servicing, and refinishing components throughout the motorcycle. This was far more extensive than a simple carburetor cleaning or tune-up. The fuel tank, carburetors, air boxes, front wheel, rear wheel, and numerous other components were removed to allow proper access for detailed servicing and reconditioning. The work required 44 hours of professional shop labor, plus parts , representing a substantial investment in preserving and preparing this outstanding motorcycle.

Offered for sale is an extraordinary vintage Honda CL350 café racer, a genuine old-school racing machine with an incredible history, extensive period-correct performance modifications, and a very special story behind it. This is not your average vintage Honda. This motorcycle was owned and successfully raced for many years at Loudon. He had owned the bike since the 1970s and transformed it into a serious, purpose-built road racer during the golden era of lightweight motorcycle competition. Near the end of his life, he contacted us with a special request. He wanted Kaplan Cycles to have his beloved racing motorcycle, with the understanding that we would restore it and bring it back to life. We gave him our word. What followed was a true labor of love, involving approximately 80 hours of professional restoration labor at $150 Per hour = $12,000 In labor and more than $13,500 including parts invested , not including the original purchase price of the motorcycle. We succeeded in bringing the bike back to running and riding condition, and our friend lived to see his beloved Honda running again. Unfortunately, during subsequent riding, an internal engine failure occurred, and with our restoration backlog continuing to grow, we have made the difficult decision to offer this special machine to its next caretaker. IT IS NOT IN RUNNING CONDITION, NEEDS TOP END ENGINE REPAIRS WE ARE SELLING IT AS IS / WHERE IS This is a rare opportunity to acquire an authentic vintage racing machine with tremendous character, extensive custom components, and the foundation for a spectacular classic. The History – A Real Loudon Road Racer Our friend had owned this Honda since the 1970s, when he converted it from a street motorcycle into a dedicated lightweight road racer. Over the years, he successfully competed at Loudon, New Hampshire, developing and modifying the bike with many of the finest performance components available during that era. When we acquired the motorcycle, it had been sitting for many years, partially dismantled between racing seasons. The fuel tank, seat, exhaust system, carburetors, and various other components had been removed. Unfortunately, our friend had never gotten around to reassembling it. When the motorcycle arrived at Kaplan Cycles, we undertook an extensive mechanical and cosmetic refurbishment, preserving its original racing character while bringing its components back to life. We made a conscious decision to preserve the original racing paint on the fiberglass fuel tank because it tells the story of this remarkable machine. The faded finish, hand-painted details, and vintage racing patina are part of its history. Our restoration specialist, John Lee, carefully recreated the original pinstriping to the best of his ability while retaining the paintwork that had accompanied the motorcycle throughout its racing career. Our friend actually commented that the motorcycle looked better than it had during its racing days, thanks to the polished aluminum, refinished components, and extensive attention to detail. 368cc Big-Bore Racing Engine – Built for Performance At the heart of this extraordinary machine is a heavily modified Honda 350 twin-cylinder engine, enlarged to approximately 368cc with racing pistons, cylinder-head modifications, and performance upgrades. The engine was built for one purpose: producing serious power in a lightweight racing chassis. Performance modifications include: 368cc big-bore engine configuration Oversized racing pistons Modified high-performance cylinder head Large-bore performance racing carburetors Custom two-into-one racing exhaust system Deleted electric starter system Deleted factory charging system Lightweight racing ignition/rotating assembly configuration Reduced rotating mass for exceptionally fast throttle response Vintage competition engine modifications The original racing tank once wore a hand-painted "368" designation, identifying the engine's increased displacement. Although that marking could not be preserved during our refurbishment, the motorcycle retains its racing heritage and original appearance. With its lightweight rotating assembly and extensive engine modifications, this Honda was an incredibly responsive machine. When we had it running and riding, it revved with the kind of urgency that made these vintage Honda twins such formidable competitors against much larger-displacement motorcycles. This was a true giant killer in its day! Extensive Period-Correct Racing Upgrades This motorcycle features an exceptional collection of vintage racing components, many of which would be extremely expensive and difficult to duplicate today. Custom Fiberglass Café Racer Fuel Tank Beautiful vintage fiberglass racing tank retaining its original competition-era paintwork, complemented by carefully restored pinstriping and replacement decals. Vintage Solo Racing Seat Period-style solo café racer saddle retaining its original upholstery, which remains in good condition. Tommaselli Racing Handlebars Authentic vintage Tommaselli racing handlebars, a premium performance upgrade during the era when this motorcycle was competing. Custom Racing Headlight Assembly Modified headlight with custom mounting brackets, giving the motorcycle its distinctive period café racer appearance. Modified Front Suspension The front forks have been rebuilt with new fork seals and upgraded heavy-duty springs. The aluminum fork lowers were professionally polished during the refurbishment. Upgraded Front Disc Brake System One of the most impressive modifications on this motorcycle is its custom front disc brake assembly.

Here's your opportunity to own a nearly 60-year-old piece of Kawasaki motorcycle history! Offered for sale by Kaplan Cycles , this 1967 Kawasaki C2 Road Runner 120 is a fantastic example of Kawasaki's early lightweight dual-purpose motorcycles. Featuring its original steel fuel tank, classic chrome wheels, chrome fork tubes, long factory-style chrome exhaust, and distinctive vintage Kawasaki tank emblems, this motorcycle has the unmistakable character of a 1960s Japanese trail bike. This is an unrestored survivor being offered AS-IS as a restoration project. A PIECE OF KAWASAKI HISTORY One of the coolest features on this machine is the vintage Kawasaki emblem proudly displayed on the fuel tank, representing the company's early history. The Road Runner features a 120cc-class, air-cooled, single-cylinder, rotary-valve two-stroke engine. Kawasaki's rotary-disc-valve induction technology was an important part of its early two-stroke engineering, helping these lightweight engines deliver impressive performance for their displacement. This motorcycle also features a fascinating dual rear sprocket arrangement, a period-correct design that allowed riders to change gearing for different riding conditions. The smaller sprocket provided taller gearing for road use, while the larger sprocket offered lower gearing for trail riding and climbing. It's an ingenious piece of vintage motorcycle engineering that you rarely see on modern motorcycles. ORIGINAL SURVIVOR CONDITION This Road Runner retains numerous original components, making it a particularly appealing candidate for a period-correct restoration. Notable features include: Original steel fuel tank Kawasaki tank emblems Original front and rear fenders Chrome-spoked wheels Chrome front fork tubes Long chrome exhaust system Original-style air cleaner assembly Rotary-valve two-stroke engine Dual rear sprocket arrangement Vintage trail/enduro styling Classic Japanese motorcycle construction The motorcycle has a wonderful original patina that reflects its nearly six decades of history. Rather than starting with a heavily modified machine, the next owner will have a substantially original vintage Kawasaki with many of the difficult-to-find components still present. MECHANICAL CONDITION – PROJECT BIKE This motorcycle is currently NOT RUNNING and is being sold AS-IS. The engine kicks over well, making it a promising candidate for mechanical recommissioning. We have not performed a complete mechanical inspection, restoration, or service on this motorcycle. As with any vintage motorcycle that has been sitting, the next owner should anticipate inspecting and servicing the fuel system, carburetor, ignition points, electrical system, and other mechanical components before attempting regular operation. These early Kawasaki singles are relatively simple machines to work on, making this a potentially enjoyable winter restoration project for a mechanically inclined enthusiast. Known items requiring attention include: Motorcycle is currently not running. Seat requires a replacement cover. Headlight is incorrect and should be replaced with the proper assembly. Front fork boots require replacement. One engine-side cover has a visible crack. This is an external cover and a cosmetic issue only. Fuel and ignition systems should be inspected and serviced. Additional age-related wear, deterioration, or mechanical needs may be present. Please review all photographs and the accompanying video carefully. ENGINE AND FRAME IDENTIFICATION The motorcycle has been identified as a Kawasaki C2 Road Runner 120. Recorded identification numbers: Model: Kawasaki C2 Road Runner 120 Year: 1967 Frame number: C2-6107865 Engine number: P9090 (as recorded; verify from photographs) The engine and frame numbers did not match on this bike when produced, they never did, and are not identical. FROM A PRIVATE CONNECTICUT MOTORCYCLE COLLECTION This motorcycle was recently acquired by Kaplan Cycles from the estate of Mike, a dedicated Connecticut motorcycle enthusiast who spent years collecting and preserving classic Japanese motorcycles. Unfortunately, Mike recently passed away, and his family entrusted us with the sale of his collection. We acquired 23 vintage motorcycles from the estate , including five classic Kawasakis. Rather than allowing these motorcycles to sit in storage for another year awaiting restoration, we have decided to offer several of them directly to collectors and enthusiasts. With approximately 240 motorcycles currently in our inventory and restoration pipeline, we simply cannot restore every machine that comes through our doors. Our loss of restoration time is your opportunity to acquire an increasingly uncommon vintage Kawasaki project. A FANTASTIC WINTER RESTORATION PROJECT If you're a Kawasaki collector, vintage Japanese motorcycle enthusiast, or someone who appreciates the simplicity and mechanical character of early two-strokes, this Road Runner deserves a serious look. Imagine this machine with a properly restored seat, correct headlight assembly, fresh fork boots, serviced ignition, cleaned carburetor, and detailed original chrome. You could choose to preserve its original patina or undertake a full, period-correct restoration. Either way, the Road Runner has the makings of a very cool vintage motorcycle for display, collecting, or riding once properly restored and made roadworthy. These early Kawasaki trail bikes represent an important chapter in Japanese motorcycle history, and finding complete, largely original examples becomes more challenging with each passing year.

This is a beautifully preserved, running, 60-year-old piece of motorcycle history that looks like a time capsule from the 1960s! INCREDIBLE ORIGINAL CONDITION — A TRUE TIME CAPSULE! Take a close look at the photographs and video. The condition of this motorcycle speaks for itself. The stunning red, gold, and white factory paint scheme is absolutely gorgeous. From the beautifully painted fuel tank and matching frame to the original seat, lighting, exhaust, and factory details, this little Riverside has survived the decades remarkably well. The craftsmanship and styling are unmistakably Italian. ORIGINAL FEATURES & HIGHLIGHTS 1966 Montgomery Ward Riverside 125 Manufactured in Italy by Benelli Classic 125cc two-stroke engine Four-speed transmission — one up, three down Beautiful red, gold, and white factory paint scheme Matching painted frame Gorgeous original fuel tank graphics and detailing Original saddle in outstanding condition Original headlight assembly Working headlight and taillight Original Brevetti Silentium exhaust system Original carburetor and air filter assembly intact Period-correct Pirelli tires with approximately 90% tread remaining Strong, responsive rear brake Original factory break-in speed instruction decal Original fuel/oil mixture instruction markings Made in Italy identification Vintage Texas license plate from Roy Thacker's collection Previously displayed in a private Texas motorcycle collection Museum-displayed at the New England Motorcycle Museum Excellent candidate for preservation, display, or light mechanical recommissioning THE DETAILS MAKE THIS MOTORCYCLE SPECIAL! One of our favorite features is the original factory break-in instruction decal, showing the recommended speeds during the engine's break-in period. It's the type of detail that collectors love to find intact after nearly six decades. The original fuel mixture instructions are another great period detail. The factory Brevetti Silentium exhaust is still present, along with the original carburetor and air cleaner. These are exactly the types of components that are often missing or replaced on vintage motorcycles. The original saddle is in exceptional shape, and the bodywork, paint, and overall presentation are outstanding for a motorcycle of this age. Even the vintage Pirelli tires complement the motorcycle's authentic Italian appearance. This is the kind of machine that makes you stop and appreciate how beautifully motorcycles were built in the 1960s. MECHANICAL CONDITION — RUNS EXCELLENT! We recently fired this Riverside up using an auxiliary fuel tank, and the engine started right up and runs fantastic! The little 125cc Benelli two-stroke sounds great and runs strong. The rear brake is extremely responsive and has excellent stopping power. We also verified that the headlight and taillight operate. RECOMMENDED SERVICE BEFORE RIDING Although the engine runs very well, this motorcycle has spent years in private collections and museum displays and will require some routine recommissioning before regular use. We recommend the following: Replace the fuel petcocks Install new fuel lines Replace the fuel tank cap IT IS DEFECTIVE Clean the inside of the fuel tank to remove old fuel residue Clean and adjust the carburetor Perform a general tune-up and full safety inspection IMPORTANT: The motorcycle was operated using an external auxiliary fuel supply. The original fuel tank and fuel delivery system will need attention before it can be ridden using its own tank. The motorcycle is being sold as-is, with the service needs described above. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants a running, remarkably original vintage Italian motorcycle that can be preserved as-is or brought back into regular riding condition with appropriate servicing. FROM THE ROY THACKER COLLECTION — TEXAS TO NEW ENGLAND! This Riverside came from the remarkable 92-motorcycle collection assembled by Roy Thacker in Texas. Roy specialized in finding beautiful, low-mileage, well-preserved original motorcycles. Rather than heavily modifying or restoring them, he appreciated the craftsmanship and originality of these historic machines. This Riverside embodies that philosophy. It spent years in Roy's private collection before being acquired by Kaplan Cycles and placed on display in the New England Motorcycle Museum. The vintage Texas license plate displayed on the motorcycle is one of Roy's plates, adding another interesting detail to its collecting history. The plate is not being represented as current registration. We believe this is one of the final motorcycles from Roy's extraordinary collection that we are offering for sale. A RARE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE VINTAGE MOTORCYCLE COLLECTOR! Montgomery Ward's Riverside motorcycles represent a fascinating chapter of American and Italian motorcycling history. During the 1960s, American buyers could visit their local

A BEAUTIFULLY PRESERVED PIECE OF HONDA MOTORCYCLE HISTORY! Kaplan Cycles and the New England Motorcycle Museum are proud to offer this spectacular 1966 Honda CA78 Dream 305! Feast your eyes on one of the most iconic Japanese touring motorcycles of the 1960s! This beautiful Honda Dream 305 is a remarkably well-preserved, low-mileage example with just 7,300 indicated miles, gorgeous original character, beautiful Firestone Deluxe Champion whitewall tires, and an extensive mechanical reconditioning and cosmetic detailing. This is not a ground-up restoration that has erased six decades of history. This is an authentic vintage Honda survivor that retains much of its original factory finish, chrome, hardware, and unmistakable character, while benefiting from the servicing necessary to make it a fantastic running and riding classic. It starts easily, runs excellent, looks amazing, and is ready for its next caretaker! THE LEGENDARY HONDA DREAM 305 The Honda Dream was decades ahead of its time in styling, engineering, reliability, and everyday practicality. Its distinctive European-inspired touring profile, enclosed mechanical components, and electric-start twin-cylinder engine helped establish Honda's reputation as one of the world's premier motorcycle manufacturers. From its uniquely shaped stamped-steel frame and deeply valanced fenders to its squared-off headlight, beautifully sculpted fuel tank, enclosed rear chain, and comfortable two-up saddle, the Dream was unlike anything else on the road. This machine showcases everything that made the Honda Dream so special: Legendary 305cc four-stroke parallel-twin engine Overhead-camshaft engine design Smooth and dependable electric starting Backup kickstarter Factory 12-volt electrical system Simple and reliable single-carburetor induction Beautiful original-style dual exhaust system Distinctive stamped-steel frame Classic square headlight and enclosed front fork design Deeply valanced front and rear fenders Iconic chrome fuel tank side panels with rubber knee grips Beautiful factory-style Honda tank emblems Comfortable full-length two-passenger saddle Original-style heel-toe shifter Fully enclosed rear drive chain Distinctive enclosed rear shocks Original-style center stand and side stand Factory-style rear luggage rack Gorgeous Firestone Deluxe Champion whitewall tires This is vintage Honda engineering and styling at its finest! BEAUTIFUL ORIGINAL PATINA – AUTHENTIC SURVIVOR CHARACTER One of the most appealing aspects of this particular motorcycle is its remarkable originality. The fuel tank retains what we believe to be its original factory black paint, displaying the beautiful aged finish and authentic patina that collectors appreciate. The front and rear fenders also retain their original paint with some touch up paint present. Unlike motorcycles that have been completely stripped and repainted, this Dream retains the character and originality that simply cannot be duplicated. The original-style chrome handlebars are in excellent condition, and the rubber Honda grips appear to be factory originals, complete with their aged finish and Honda markings. The large chrome tank panels, rubber knee protectors, and iconic Honda emblems beautifully complement the black paint. The original chrome wheel rims present very well overall, with some age-related pitting and patina, particularly on portions of the rear rim. These imperfections are cosmetic and consistent with a carefully preserved, approximately 60-year-old motorcycle. The original exhaust system is in excellent condition and retains its beautiful classic appearance. The original-style factory rear shocks, enclosed drive chain, footpegs, heel-toe shifter, kickstarter, center stand, side stand, and rear luggage rack are all present. The engine cases have been carefully refinished, with freshly painted surfaces and polished aluminum components that present beautifully. The side covers have also been professionally refinished and repainted to match the original factory black finish. The original rear fender displays a small area where an old registration or inspection sticker was removed, leaving a visible outline and minor surface irregularity that was touched up. We have intentionally retained this original finish rather than repainting the entire fender and removing its historical character. The result is an outstanding combination of vintage originality, mechanical dependability, and exceptional presentation. EXTENSIVE MECHANICAL SERVICE AND RECONDITIONING!
