A couple recent purchases. 1974 Yamaha RD 350 “giant killer”. And a 2022 take on the 1972 Z1 900 Yellow Ball.

Man ALIVE!!! I would love to borrow that RD350 for a day...

I am currently out of the bike business,

But I will list a few favorites I have owned...

Yamaha Phazer
Suzuki Katana 600
Honda Sabre 1100
Yamaha FZ1
YAMAHA VMax
HD Blockhead FXDWG (massaged to 91 hp)
Buell M2

I used to ride daily, for a lotta years. Sometimes I miss it, when I see something like that little RD350!!!

Heckuva nice find!

Not a sport bike per say but I've got a 1980 yamaha XS850 that is in need for some love. It ran out pretty good when I rode it all the time but then carbs started acting up. I parked it and just started it every once in a while with jumper box, then it wouldn't run without jumpers. When I moved it, the brakes locked up and thats where its sat ever since,lol.

Wish I had made a picture of the Honda 450 I bought new in 1970.

Love them.

Uncle had a '75 CB 250. Learned to ride that in '76 as a big 5th grader.

Roommate in college had a Vmax. That thing was scary opened up.

Would still love to have either....

When I was a Freshman in college, I had a ‘73 Kawasaki H2 750. Now that bike was scary fast. They didn’t nickname them the Widow Maker for nothing.

We're considering taking on a vintage dirt bike restoration business. We already have 14 bikes, lots of classic Yamaha's. We're hoping to attract boomers that are willing to give a premium price for a premium product in the form of memories of their childhood.
