Found on eBay: 1968 BSA Firebird Scrambler

bsa firebird 

Though this BSA sounds like it needs a little tuning to be ready for the road, it appears to be in fine original condition. The Firebird Scrambler debuted in 1968 with both high exhaust pipes and lights, and it sold reasonably well.

According to the auction, this bike wears its original gast tank. Though the paint appears to be in good condition, the auction doesn't mention whether it's original or whether it's been repainted. The chrome looks to be quite nice, and the bike appears to be a low-mileage survivor. The speedometer needs to be rebuilt, and one of the Amal Concentrics needs to be gone through, but if you've been looking for a BSA scrambler, this might be just what you need.

Found on eBay: 1983 Honda CB1100F Super Sport

Honda CB1100F 

This highly modified Honda CB1100F is just too cool to pass up. It started life as a stock 1100F, when a dealer pulled it right off the dealership floor and, with just a few mods, took it racing at Daytona.

According to the auction, Tryg Westby of Tulsa, Okla., was a Honda dealer and club racer back in the 1980s. In 1983, Tryg pulled the bike off the dealership floor to race it in the Open Super Stock division at Daytona. With just a few minor mods, the bike won its inagural race. After a short but successful career in Open Super Stock, Tryg decided to modify the bike further to race in the premier Open Super Bike Class. The bike features an 1125 pist kit, SuperTrapp header, EPM Magnesium wheels and a long, long list of unobtainable parts.
