In 1967, Yamaha introduced the YR-1 as their first ever 350cc street model. The YR-1 Grand Prix was Yamaha's biggest bike to date . Ultra high performance 2 stroke with auto lube oil injection system that mixes the gas and oil automatically! 36 bhp at 7500 rpm! Awesome classic that has kickstart only, effortless and reliable starting every time. Cruises at 80 mph and top speed 100-110 with a quarter mile time 14.0. With a 14 second ET these defeated many a larger capacity bike, they are considered rare today. Although it vibrates a bit, its Fun to ride and has power to spare especially being a two stroke on a street bike, this thing gets up and goes! Basically their Grand Prix racing motorcycle in street legal trim Reviewed in the March 1967 Cycle World magazine. Show less

Awesome ride it’s immensely fast (57)mph top speed, Manufactured in (2023) so everything feels and works fine while out on a ride. One really unique feature it has a wheel lock so ultimately it’s not accessible without ignition key. Show less

For all of the wide tire chopper bikes made in this particular era, the Big Dog K9 was arguably one of the better designed bikes in a few ways. It features a soft tail with the look of a rigid frame thanks to well crafted body lines hiding the movement of the swing arm, resulting in smooth riding. Power comes from an S Show less

I purchased this 2019 Harley Davidson Ultra Classic a few years ago. I've always loved working on my bike, adding accessories, adding cams for performance upgrades and otherwise fully enjoying it. I've invested over $8,500.00 beyond the original purchase price to make one of the best performing and most beautiful motorcycles I've owned, 13 motorcycles in 50 years. I've been at it for quite some time. The new M8 engine from Harley was quite the technical upgrade from the Moco and the only down side was the exhaust note. There wasn't any. I purchased and had the shops best and most senior mechanic install the S Show less

Yamaha Super Tenere XT1200z This is one of the most comfortable motorcycles for touring. Gets great gas mileage (55mpg). Very reliable, quick and smooth. Affordable service. Tires have been lasting 14,000 miles between replacements. I have been using street tires because I don't ride in the dirt. Show less

I bought this Road Glide new in 2008 and had the dealership add many "extras". The bike is older schoolHarley with vibration at Idle which is classic HD. Road trips are fantastic with cruise control, great sound and plenty of storage. The Fairing is fixed (shark nose) and allows good air flow and protection. Floor boards allow ample movement and the seat is comfortable. The King tour Pack my spouse really like it a lot when she rode. The tour pack gives security for the rear passenger with a large back area for support. The reach seat has great padding for the passenger and is good for firm support at stop sign and red lights. Overall this has been a great bike but just don't ride it enough to honor it. Show less

My 2020 Triumph speed twin has custom wheels, Nitron suspension, Dyno Jet Commander V fuel injection controller, ASV C5 clutch and break levers, and Rizoma Vision sequential NANOLED turn signals. It's not just a bike but a finely tuned piece of art. It's the McClaren of motorcycles. Show less

Ducati scrambler looks very sporty and modern. it is very easy to ride and the ride is full of fun and exhilaration. like other models of Ducati this one also has its special sound that bring smile to your face. this bike is a 803 cc L twin engine, produces 75 HP at 8500 rpm and 50 nm of torque. 50 nm of torque is felt in through out the ride, it is very agile, nimble and very easy to operate, it leans very easy at turns and the suspension is very solid. it is very stable riding in highways and with speed of 95 mph there is no vibration. the seat position is great for riders with average height. this bike is reasonably priced but the quality of the ride and the quality of the parts are superb quality. this is an amazing bike that one can enjoys for thousands of miles.

Great starter bike, not the best for two up. Plenty of raw power to slightly feel old school but with modern enhancements, make sure to black/bobber/debage. . Tough appearance, vigorous engine: on paper, the Harley-Davidson Street Bob scores easily. Moreover, it knows how to translate that into practice. Apart from the Pan America (which you can’t compare it to of course) this is the best Harley I’ve ever ridden. That’s mainly because of the riding experience that the Street Bob offers. It likes a sporty riding style and the mini-apehanger is ideal for hanging around the bend. If you’re too enthusiastic however, you‘ll hit its limits. The weak brakes and the absent traction control should also be kept in mind. But don’t let that spoil the fun. Show less
