Closing 5th for Iconic Friday was sold primarily i

Closing 5th for Iconic Friday was sold primarily in Japan; a rare 80s Honda three-wheeler great for an assortment of uses! This Gyro’s from 1985 and it’s available for bid until 2PM PST with NO RESERVE on iconicmotorbikeauctions.com

Introduced in 1982, the Gyro series of scoots are three-wheelers (one in the front, two in the back) where the body is able to lean up to 40 degrees compared to the rear axle. GYRO is actually an acronym, which stands for “Great Your Recreation Original”. Well, the translation’s not great, but you get the idea. The initial designs were for utility-based uses – so options included rear racks, canopies, and plenty of storage.

In 1984, Honda mixed it up with the release of a variant called the Road Fox. Most of the utility disappeared, and instead you got exposed frames and a chopper-ish rake. It only sold for two years – and this was the sole variant that was officially exported to the US. In America, Big Red marketed it as the Gyro S.

The Gyro featured a parking brake which prevents it from falling over when parked, and even a limited slip differential. The short importation period and poor sales have made the Gyro a collectible scooter – perfect for someone looking for something quirky and fun. It only weighs 140 pounds, and it was capable of 30 miles per hour thanks to the 4 horsepower engine. In addition, the Gyro was capable of 160 mpg, which is why it saw so much success as a tiny utility vehicle in Japan.

The seller purchased the bike November 2022 through an Iconic auction. The odometer shows 818 miles.

Maintenance:
In preparation for the listing, the seller had us perform a safety inspection and replace the battery. For our service department’s full condition report, feel free to visit the listing on the auction site!

Modifications:
-Battery tender lead

Currently located in Santa Monica, California, this Honda is offered on a Bill of Sale only.

Finishing up for the Iconic site 4th Friday’s a 900SS that has a unique upgrade; it sports a 916 tail section! This iconic Ducati’s from 1996 and it’s available for bid until 1PM PST on Iconicmotorbikeauctions.com

Ducati offered two versions of the 900SS – a full-fairing (SS/SP) and a half-fairing (SS/CR). In this piece on Cycle World, Peter Egan says that this 900SS is “the used motorcycle you need” and notes that “they made perfectly comfortable long-distance touring bikes, but on winding roads through the Black Hills, they metamorphosed back into sportbikes of deep finesse, with killer, real-world midrange and light, intuitive handling.”

Mikuni carbs fed the air-cooled 904cc air/oil cooled V-Twin which was good for just under 80 horsepower. Combined with a dry weight of 414 pounds and classic Ducati styling, the 900SS was quite the commercial success – almost 28k of them were sold over a seven year run.

Maintenance:
In preparation for the listing, the seller had us perform a safety inspection, our service department performed the following maintenance in January of 2024: carb clean and sync, carb rebuild, replaced diaphragm cover, replaced timing belts, changed the oil and filter, brake/hydraulic fluid flush, tires changed, front brake pad replacement, repaired front turn signal, rebuilt clutch slave cylinder, replaced oil seals. Maintenance records available from the previous owner dating back to 2001. For our service department’s full condition report, feel free to visit the listing on the auction site!

Modifications:
-916 tail section
-Silmotor Exhaust
-Steel braided brake lines
-Aftermarket triple tree
-P Moto Clutch cover
-Carbon fiber rear tire fairing
-Battery tender lead
-Cycle Cat clip-ons and rearsets
-The sale includes the original owner’s manual

Currently located in Santa Monica, California, this Ducati is offered on a clean California title.

4th to hit the Iconic Motorbikes auction site toda

4th to hit the Iconic Motorbikes auction site today's a ZX-7 that comes highly stock and needs a new rider to swing a leg over! This one's from 1994 and it's available for bid now on Iconicmotorbikeauctions.com

The GPX750 of the late 1980’s was no slouch in terms of power, and it even won Cycle World’s award for best 750cc streetbike in 1987 and 1988. Still, Kawasaki saw potential with a new class of Ninja using the 16-valve liquid cooled inline four from the GPX and in 1989 launched what would become one of their most iconic models. The ZX-7 was a completely new bike with a perimeter style aluminum frame, adjustable suspension, 17″ wheels front and back and a tweaked 750cc engine putting out a solid 105 horsepower.

Unlike the rare homologation specials released by other Japanese manufactures, the ZX-7 was an affordable 750cc bike that was available to everyone – racers and street riders alike. The ZX-7 was a really good road bike right out of the crate, but with some special parts and a bit of work it could be made into a very competent race machine, and for many years the bike saw incredible success on the race track. 1990 saw significant revisions to the engine and bigger carbs bringing more power, and a new swingarm changed the wheel base. 1991 ushered in a freshly restyled J model ZX-7 with more engine improvements, an inverted 43mm front fork, and a lighter frame.

The seller purchased the bike four and a half years ago from a private collector and states, “I was looking for a nice original ZX-7 and found this one in Quebec offered by another collector in 2020.”

During his ownership the seller has covered approximately 300 miles. The odometer shows 19,148 kilometers (11,898 miles).

Per the seller, “Cleaned carburetors, installed new battery.” The seller has provided a condition report, which can be found in full on the auction site. According to the seller the bike is stock and includes two keys.

Currently located in Bloomington, Indiana, this Kawasaki is offered on a clean Tennessee title.

Closing up 3rd Friday for the Iconic Motorbikes' a

Closing up 3rd Friday for the Iconic Motorbikes' auction site is this rare Tandem Twin that comes loaded with tasteful upgrades! This Kawasaki KR250's from 1984 and it's available for bid until 12PM PST on iconicmotorbikeauctions.com

Starting in 1978, Kawasaki won 4 consecutive 250cc World Championships with their KR250 racer – its most notable feature was the “tandem twin” engine which had one cylinder behind the other and two cranks!

This helped keep the bike narrow as the engine was slimmer and both headers could exit on the same side, but it required liquid cooling to ensure that the rear cylinder did not overheat.

The 45hp engine was paired with a six-speed transmission, aluminum frame, triple disc brakes, anti-dive front end, and one of the most distinctive taillights of the 1980s.

The owner sent the bike to Iconic from Japan. It’s prior history is not known. The odometer shows 10,574 kilometers (6,570 miles).

Maintenance:
In preparation for the listing, the seller had us clean and sync the carbs, change the oil and battery, and repaired the fuel gauge. For our service department's full condition report, feel free to visit the listing on the auction site!

Modifications:
-Aftermarket handlebars, triple tree, steering stabilizer, forks, front fender, fork brace, rotors, brake cable guide, brake lines, brake carrier, pegs, chain guard, sprocket, brake linkage, caliper bracket, seat, expansion chamber, exhaust
-Yamaha wheels
-Domino grips
-Active levers
-Brembo brakes, master cylinder, fluid reservoir
-OSR CDI
-Pingel petcock
-Repainted
-The sale includes two keys

Currently located in Santa Monica, California, this Kawasaki is offered on a clean Washington title.

Third up for Iconic today's a resto-mod that sport

Third up for Iconic today's a resto-mod that sports PVM wheels, custom exhaust, and custom bodywork! This custom Yamaha R1's from 2003 and it's available for bid now on Iconicmotorbikeauctions.com

The 1990s were defined by three sportbikes – the Honda CBR900RR, the Ducati 916, and the Yamaha R1. Honda’s CBR900RR started the revolution by being 76 pounds lighter than its lightest competition. Soon after, Ducati released the 916. It was technically competent with fuel injection and even an adjustable steering head angle, but it’s best remembered just for being one of the most beautiful motorcycles of all time. In 1998, Yamaha released the R1 and wiped the floor with everyone else – it was the lightest and most powerful literbike available and you had to work hard to find a dealer with one in stock. Over 20 years later they’re still fantastic machines, so here’s your chance to relive the glory days.

Yamaha was able to make the engine/transmission much smaller by vertically stacking the transmission shafts. Further space was saved by putting the water pump inside the engine cases. The packaging let Yamaha shorten the wheelbase and still lengthen the swingarm, which made the R1 feel like a 600cc bike but with 1,000cc power.

The seller is the original owner and purchased the bike new and states, “I have the second place winner at the 2004 Grand National Roadster Show. It sat for many years on display at restaurants.” The odometer shows 2,963 miles.

Per the seller, “It underwent recent tuneup and maintenance.” The seller states, “It has a complete top to bottom redo of all body panels, tank, exhaust, front fender and holders, PVM wheels, side covers, headlight, taillight, and brake rotors. All body work done by Evan Wilcox. Bike design by Robert Steffano.” The sale includes the owner’s manual, and repair documentation.

Currently located in Gaberville, California, this Yamaha is offered on a clean California title.

Wrapping for our auction site 2nd Friday: a 1987 H

Wrapping for our auction site 2nd Friday: a 1987 Honda XL600R that’s a super clean example of a classic 80’s thumper and this one’s in a timeless tricolor livery with only 3,217 miles on the clock! This one’s from 1987 and it’s available for bid until 11AM PST on Iconicmotorbikeauctions.com

Launched in 1983, Honda’s XL600R was a hit with buyers much like the 500R before it. Sold for many years until finally being replaced by the long running 650L, the street-biased big thumper from Honda gave lots of riders a bike that not only could perform well both on and off the road but also had the looks of a motocrosser that many people desired.

Usually adorned in Honda red, this 1987 was an offering of the classic red, white, and blue scheme that has been a mainstay for many Honda models over the years.

A testament to Honda engineering is the fact that so many of these 1980’s era XLs are still on the road and in use today, clean ones are hard to find since many saw offroad duty, but Honda loyalists have managed to keep some very nice examples both in and out of collections over the years.

The seller has covered approximately 349 miles in 18 months of ownership. He states “I purchased this bike from the original owner, who is an acquaintance. It is in remarkable condition for its age and is great fun to ride. I get tons of thumbs up and discussions at almost every gas stop. It has always been pampered and was only mildly ridden off-pavement by the original owner. The reason he sold it was to buy a bike he could thrash in good conscience. I have only ridden it on the street, except for one brief excursion through the grassy parts of a local park. Recent back issues make it difficult for me to kickstart, and I wasn’t riding it much to begin with. If I had more room or fewer bikes, I would keep it just to look at and take out for an occasional spin, but this thing is too nice to not get more attention than I can give it right now.”

Modifications:
-OEM Honda rear rack

Iconic’s first auction set to close Friday’s a

Iconic’s first auction set to close Friday’s a restored Z1R TC-2 that comes with chrome components and other tasteful bits! This iconic Kawasaki’s from 1978 and it’s available for bid until 10AM PST on Iconicmotorbikeauctions.com

TCC stood for the Turbo Cycle Corporation, and it was created to sell bolt on turbos for motorcycles built by American Turbo-Pak. The founder of TCC was a former Kawasaki USA employee named Alan Masek, and he used his contacts to help develop the first ‘production’ turbocharged bike. Kawasaki’s Z1-R was their top of the line bike but Alan figured he could make a true halo and sell some turbos in the process.

The plan was to source bikes from Kawasaki, install the turbo kit, then have Kawi sell the new Z1R-TC through dealerships (but without a warranty). TCC made some money, Kawasaki got bragging rights, and no one had to worry about warranty costs or emissions issues.

500 were built, the first 250 of which were in the stock powder blue of the Z1-R. The remaining 250 were adorned in the iconic black/yellow/red Molly Design paint scheme and boasted some mechanical refinements.

The seller (who restored the bike) is our friend Johnny Bohmer, multiple Guinness World Record holder and owner/driver of the BADD GT, the world’s fastest street legal car. Iconic has known him for years and he has listed several bikes with us – he has been avidly racing cars and motorcycles since the early 1970s and has a soft spot for Kawasakis.

He’s an expert in this model and has the largest collection of “verified” Z1-R TCs available in the world. True mileage unknown. The odometer shows 18 miles.

The sale includes two keys, owner’s manual, literature, TCC documentation, and original “Z1R-TC Registration Warranty and Purchaser Certification,” this is a signed and witnessed document that states there is no warranty. The seller will not show the documentation publicly but it will be provided to the buyer.

Currently located in West Palm Beach, Florida, this Kawasaki is offered on a clean Florida title.

Iconic's 2nd auction going live today's this low m

Iconic's 2nd auction going live today's this low mileage TZR250 that's ready for you to ride or display! This iconic Yamaha's from 1985, has just 658 miles on the clock, and is available for bid now on Iconicmotorbikeauctions.com

Never officially sold in the United States, the Yamaha TZR250 was manufactured and sold from 1985 until 1995 in three main iterations. The first generation (known as the 1KT in Japan and the 2MA in other markets) what was Yamaha called a “Supersports Milestone” and it went on to become a commercial success.

The TZR250 was developed alongside the production TZ250 racer and was competitive in TT-Formula 3 racing with the installation of a factory kit. During this era, the Japanese manufacturers were in an arms race to create the most advanced 250cc repli-racers for license limited riders and track racers alike. These small quarter liter bikes were very different from the budget small cc bikes produced today to meet the needs of restricted license holders, they were brimming with the latest race bred technology and excellent build quality. While restricted to 45 HP to meet the Japanese rules of the time, de-restriction and tuning could release a lot more power.

Keeping that power in check was an aluminum Deltabox frame and hollow 3-spoke 17″ wheels paired with a massive 320mm front disc rotor (half of the braking setup from a FZR1000).

Aesthetically, the 1KT generation stood out from future TZR250s with faired-in turn signals front and rear.

The seller purchased the bike in 2020 from a Mecum auction out of the Weaver collection. During his ownership, the seller has covered approximately 10 miles. The odometer shows 1,059 kilometers (658 miles).

The seller has provided a condition report and states, “Cleaned and rebuilt carburetors and petcock with new seals, replaced air filter.”

According to the seller, the bike is stock and includes the tool kit and owner’s manual

Currently located in Bloomington, Indiana, this Yamaha is offered on a clean Indiana title.

Rider Magazine had this to say about today's 1st a

Rider Magazine had this to say about today's 1st auction to hit the site: “Add a pair of throwover saddlebags and a tankbag, and a thousand-mile weekend was a pleasure." It's a 1988 Honda CBR1000F Hurricane and it's available for bid now on Iconicmotorbikeauctions.com

The Honda Hurricane, in addition to having one of the better names in motorcycling history, was an excellent motorcycle that introduced some crucial technology into the Honda lineup. It was available in 600cc and 1000cc versions.

The Hurricane had 130 horsepower to motivate 602 pounds of weight, and over time it’s evolved from a heavyweight supersport into a classic sport-tourer. As Rider magazine put it in a Retrospective, “the ergonomics as a whole were fit for a normal human being. Add a pair of throw over saddlebags and a tank bag, and a thousand-mile weekend was a pleasure.”

Suspension duties were handled by Showa, with 41mm front forks and a preload/rebound adjustable shock.

The seller states he “bought it from a private seller in Ohio.” The odometer shows 33,110 miles. The seller has covered under 200 miles in approximately seven years off ownership. The seller states he “replaced front tire valve stem.” He also has a condition report from 2/24/25, which can be found in full on the auction site! The seller states “the bike is all stock.”

Currently located in Bloomington, Indiana, this Honda is offered on a clean Ohio title.

This Honda RVF400 / NC35 is loaded with @tygaperformance parts, shows quite nice and ready to turn some heads at your next track day.

I really love these! Even at my height I can squeeze on them…they are worth the struggle for just how great the motors are.

My only complaint about NC30’s and NC35’s…they have incredible small primary jets so you literally need to run them every week or two.

Thank you Steve. I’ll handle the test ride…I don’t need lights or turn signals or…. 🙂
