Almost like a two-wheeled ATV, Yamaha offered its Big Wheel series in three flavors: the big 350-cc model, then the mama bear-sized 200-cc version, and finally, the one that’s sized for almost everyone, the BW80 as seen here. The… more»
Restored Rarity: 1951 Powell P-81 Motorcycle
Listing this as a motorcycle seems a bit odd since it’s clearly a two-wheeled vehicle with an engine. The trouble is, Powell Manufacturing out of Compton, California, started out making scooters, as far as their vehicle portfolio goes, after… more»

British Spanish MX: 1972 Rickman Montesa 250

Restored 1966 Honda CL77 305 Scrambler
This 1966 Honda CL77 305 Scrambler isn’t a dusty barn find, at least in its current restored condition. These bikes are a great mix of around-town, light off-road, and not to mention, they’re usually a hit at vintage motorcycle… more»
Restored Muscat Green 1974 Honda CB200
A great around-town bike, Honda’s CB200 isn’t one you’re likely to take on an extended road trip. Maybe in a pinch on a two-lane road with a 55 MPH speed limit, you’d be ok, but I just rode mine… more»
