Low miles on this sort of one off reintroduction of the Norton name that didnt stick but it’s full of high end components and factory cafe look. Ohlins, low bars, and air-cooled really completes the look. For sale in Seattle on Craigslist.
1972 Yamaha r5 - $6,000
Under 6k miles on this one and all original, unmolested. These bikes got high praises in their day from road racers for their balanced chassis and strong motor. Here is an excerpt from Motorcycle Classics, “because the R5 was a complete and balanced package; power delivery, braking prowess, and ride and handling meshed to create a bike that shined not only on the highways and byways of America, but on racetracks, too, where amateur club racers easily prepped their R5s for production-class road racing. And they did so with success, typically beating the other brands that vied for 350cc class dominance at the time. Southern California club racers, especially, filled their display cabinets with cheap trophies won racing their R5s. Young racers like Mike Devlin, Dick Fuller, Bob Crossman, John Lassak and Alan Gingerelli, to name a few, rode R5s to success during the early and mid 1970s.” For sale in Sunnyvale on Craigslist.
2009 Harley XR1200 R - $6500
Good price on this XR1200, they are usually quite a bit more in this area. 12 K miles, recently serviced, excellent condition, garage kept, Bassani exhaust, and upgraded shocks. For sale in the East Bay on Craigslist.
1993 BMW R100R - $5,300
The last of the airheads and very clean. Has all the “tech” but none of the electronics yet. Tubeless wheels, paralever suspension, and low miles on this one. 11k is real low, these sell for between 3-6k with higher miles so I would put this one in the deal category after a little negotiation. For sale in Fort Collins Colorado on Craigslist. Where is the plate?
BMW K1 1991 restored classic superbike - $6,000
Superbike is a stretch but this one is externally perfect as the owner had new panels and graphic kit painted and installed. Very hard to find parts and a future classic as this bike is straight out of TRON. For sale in Fairfax on Craigslist.

1977 BMW R100RS - $4,995
Rough around the edges but mostly there. This first year RS has great patina but has some scratches on the top of the tank. The pin-striping still looks good though and hallelujah the side covers are both there. There are plenty with higher miles that are twice the price. Worth looking at. For sale near Columbus on Cycletrader.
2011 RARE X Model Race Spec Plated Harley XR1200X , - $9750
One of my favorite modern Harleys, this is apparently an AMA homologation and then added a bunch of other parts. It’s unclear from the post if it’s a factory bike or its modded to be like the factory race bikes. Lots of mods the list goes on, check out the post on Craigslist in the bay area.
2009 Harley Davidson XR1200 - $7499
Future collectible, the old Harley we used to know is changing, the new bikes are water cooled and their electric bike was a flop. But these old ones and I suspect the Dynas will live on with aftermarket parts. For sale in Sunnyvale on Craigslist at a shop.
1985 Kawasaki GPz750 Turbo - $3000
Cool project, looks very complete and pretty cheap. From the seller, The fastest quarter mile bike at the time, extremely rare and collectible even by turbocharged standards, it needs someone to bring it back to life. Bike has been sitting for a long time. Very few dings, dents, or cracks, around 30k miles, paint is still pretty good. For sale in Sacramento area on Craigslist.
