Suzuki GSX-R750RK

The Suzuki GSX-R750RK, also known as the RR, is a rare motorcycle of which only 500 were made in its year of release, 1989. This bike is unknown to most bikers or even current Suzuki owners which is surprising as its standard siblings the J, K, L, M Suzuki GSX-R750s are among the most recognized models in the world.

Suzuki Hyper sport GSX1300R

Hyper sport bikes, also known as hyperbikes, are very large-displacement sport bikes with a strong emphasis on top speed and acceleration. They are typically powered by motors displacing 1,100 cc (67.1 cu in) to 1,400 cc (85.4 cu in). Hyper sport bikes are bigger and heavier than super bikes, with wet weights generally between 550 lb (249 kg) and 600 lb (272 kg) . The increased weight compromises racetrack capabilities in favor of stability at speeds that can exceed 180 mph (290 km/h). This compromise also allows manufacturers to design much more comfortable rider ergonomics.

Suzuki SV650

The SV650 and variants are street motorcycles manufactured since 1999 for the international market by the Suzuki Motor Corporation, featuring a mid-sized V-twin engine and medium performance components. In 2009 Suzuki replaced the naked SV650 with the Suzuki SFV650 Gladius.

Honda's flagship Adventure Touring motorcycle, the XL1000V Varadero has a 996cc V-type two-cylinder engine Adventure Touring motorcycle. Honda introduced the Varadero to the public at the 1998 Munich motorcycle show. First launched in 1998 as a 1999 Model Year, its engine architecture is based on the Honda VTR1000F Firestorm/Superhawk. It was one of the very first of its type. Since, many have joined including the BMW R1150GS in 1999 and Suzuki V-Strom in 2002. The Adventure category refers to motorcycles that are designed for long-range touring with limited off-road capability (hence the term Adventure used by Honda as opposed to Dual Sport such as the Honda XR650L.

Honda ST1300

The Honda CB600F (known as the Hornet in Europe and Brazil and 599 in the U.S.) is a sport bike manufactured by Honda. It is powered by a 599 cc (36.6 cu in) liquid-cooled inline-4 engine, originally a detuned version of that in the Honda CBR600 sport bike, which currently produces around 102 bhp (76 kW). The 'Hornet' name was not taken to North American as AMC had trademarked the name with the AMC Hornet. The Hornet comes in models: 250, 600 & 900.

Honda VF500F

The Honda VF500F (badged as "Interceptor" for the US market) is a 0.5L displacement sport motorcycle manufactured from 1984 to 1986.

It was part of Honda's family of first generation V4 engine motorcycles (Interceptor - VF400F VF500F VF700F VF750F VF1000F). The VF500F was derived from the Japanese market VF400F (0.4L engine). It is not simply an overbored and/or overstroked version of the VF400F. The engine as well as the cycle are entirely specific, with very few common parts. The VF500 engine was also used almost entirely unchanged in the Magna V30 standard motorcycle during the same two years.

Honda CX 500

The Honda CX series motorcycles (including the GL500 and GL650 variants) were developed and released in the late 1970s, with production ending in most markets by the mid 1980s. The design included innovative features and technologies that were uncommon or unused at the time such as: liquid cooling, electric-only starting, low-maintenance shaft drive, Com-Star modular wheels, and dual CV-type carburettors that were tuned for reduced emissions. The electronic ignition system was separated from the rest of the electrical system, enabling the motorcycle to be push-started and ridden in case of a total electrical system failure.

Honda Bros 400cc

The Bros came in two versions (400cc and 650cc) for the Japanese market, when Honda stopped selling the Hawk in 1992 they continued the Bros in Japan for one more year. A close ratio gear box (which drops into the Hawk) different wheels, and lower clip-ons were the major changes.

While never imported to the UK officially, the BROS is available in many European markets as a grey (unofficial) import.

Honda HawkGT NT650

The Honda HawkGT NT650 was designed by Toshiaki Kishi and was the second Honda with Pro-Arm having the model designation RC31 coming immediately after the RC30. The Japanese version model was named the Honda Bros. The RC model designation is for bikes up to 750cc, though the Honda Pacific Coast (PC800) has an engine of more than 750 cc and a model designation of RC34.
During the initial production run, the cost difference between the Hawk GT and the CBR600 was less than 1000 dollars, resulting in very slow sales for the naked bike. However, by the mid-90's, left over models were being snatched up and current owners are passionate about their Hawks. Clean examples can fetch upwards of $3500 to $5000, more than the bike sold for new.

Honda CB750 Nighthawk

The Honda CB750 is a motorcycle built in several model series between 1969 and 2003 that is recognized as a milestone for Honda's successful introduction of a transverse, overhead camshaft inline four-cylinder engine that has ever since been the dominant sport bike configuration. Though MV Agusta had sold such a model in 1965, and it had been used in racing engines before World War II, the CB750 is recognized as the four-cylinder sport bike that had a lasting impact.

Nighthawk 750
From 1982 through 2003, with the exception of several years, Honda produced a CB750 known as the Nighthawk 750. Early models were designated as the CB750SC Nighthawk while later models were simply known as the Nighthawk 750. It is a more utilitarian machine, a useful and reliable model, notable for its low maintenance needs

Honda VFR800 ( POLICE )

Honda VFR800

The Honda VFR800/Interceptor is a motorcycle introduced by the Honda Motor Company in 1998. It is a successor to the VFR750F (1986-1997), which was preceded by the VF750.

From its first sales in 1986, the VFR750F scored highly on many press reviews. While it was originally intending to be a sports bike, the introduction of lighter competitors (including the nearly 30 kg lighter GSX-R750) prompted Honda in 1990 to transition the VFR into a mid-sized sport touring bike, a category of which the VFR became the de-facto benchmark. However, by 1997, Triumph and Ducati presented Honda with significant sports-touring competition, so Honda responded with a redesigned VFR800 in 1998.

Honda RC212V

The Honda RC212V is a road racing motorcycle developed to race in the 800 cc (49 cu in) MotoGP series. Officially introduced on 30 October, 2006 as the RC211V replacement in the MotoGP series, it was developed by Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) throughout 2006 and began officially racing in the 2007 season.

CBR900RR

The CBR900RR was introduced in 1992 and was fitted with an 893 cc (54.5 cu in) inline-4 engine. When introduced, it set a precedent for light weight in the super bike class. At 453 lb (205 kg) with a full tank of gas, the CBR900RR was just 4 lb (1.8 kg) heavier than Honda's own CBR600F2, and 76 lb (34 kg) lighter than the next-lightest open-class machine at the time, the Yamaha FZR1000. Minor changes to the '94 model included an improved shift drum to cure notchy shifting, and steadier mirrors.

Honda CBR1000RR

The CBR1000RR (also known as the Fireblade) is a 999 cc (61.0 cu in) liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder Honda sport bike that was introduced in 2004 to replace the CBR954RR.
Racing roots

The Honda CBR1000RR was developed by the same team that was behind the MotoGP series.[1] Many of the new technologies introduced in the Honda CBR600RR, a direct descendant of the RC211V, were used in the new CBR1000RR such as a lengthy swingarm, Unit Pro-Link rear suspension, and Dual Stage Fuel Injection System (DSFI)

Honda Magna 1100

The Honda Magna was a cruiser motorcycle made from 1982 to 2003 powered by Honda's VF/VFR V-4 engine. The introduction of this engine on the Magna and the Sabre in 1982 was milestone in the evolution of motorcycles that would culminate in 1983 with the introduction of the Interceptor V-4.[1] The V45's performance is comparable to that of Valkyries and Honda's 1800cc V-twin cruisers. However, its mix of performance, reliability, and refinement was overshadowed by the more powerful 1098cc "V65" Magna in 1983.

Honda CBR1100XX

The Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird was the world's fastest production motorcycle when launched in the summer of 1996, surpassing the legendary Kawasaki ZX-11.[citation needed] Two years later the title had passed to the Suzuki Hayabusa.[citation needed] Nonetheless the Blackbird has earned a solid reputation as a powerful, fast, smooth and very reliable sport-touring motorcycle.[opinion] The Blackbird name is a nod to the Lockheed SR-71 aircraft.[1][2][3]

Production of the Blackbird began in 1996 and halted in late 2007.[citation needed] The Blackbird was last imported to North America in 2003.[citation needed] Major changes to the Blackbird were introduced in 1999, when Honda switched from carburetion to PGM fuel injection. Many other modifications were also made in 1999.[vague] The 2001 Blackbird received an LCD instrument cluster. Since then, only the color schemes have changed.[citation needed]

Valkyrie

In 1997, Honda brought back an incarnation of the "Standard Gold Wing," renamed the Honda Valkyrie in the US, and called F6C in the rest of the world. It featured a higher performance engine, based on the GL1500, in a cruiser-style frame. The Valkyrie Tourer version had a windshield and saddlebags. A more touring-oriented version was introduced in 1999 as the Valkyrie Interstate with a full fairing, saddlebags and trunk.

These models were dropped due to slow sales, leaving the standard Valkyrie, which was discontinued after the 2003 model year.

Honda GL1200

Released in 1984. The 1182 cc engine was all-new. The frame was larger and stiffened for a smoother ride. In the Interstate and Aspencade models the fairing was integrated into the main body, eliminating the appearance that they were "added on".

1984 was the last year of the "Standard" model, whose sales had declined in favor of the Interstate and Aspencade models. This lead to the decline of aftermarket manufacturers like Vetter.

Honda GL1800

The 2001 GL1800 was the first new model in 13 years. The engine was for this model increased to 1832 cc, and fuel injected. At the same time, the weight of the bike decreased from that of the GL1500. This was done by making the frame out of high-strength aluminum. This was an extruded frame, and was composed of only 31 individual parts (almost half the number of the previous frame).

A recall was announced on the aluminum frame after many frames were found to have cracked and failed due to insufficient welding. This deficiency was corrected in the 2004 model year.

ABS braking was an option, added because of the increased power of the new engine (from 74 KW to 87 KW).

Honda Gold Wing GL1500

1988 brought the most changes seen to the Gold Wing series since its inception. The Suzuki GV1400 Cavalcade and Yamaha Venture/Venture Royale abandoned the market segment in the wake of the GL1500's introduction (the Venture returned in 1999).[citation needed] Kawasaki was the only competition that remained with the Kawasaki Voyager XII, which continued until 2004. The biggest difference was that the flat-4 engine was replaced with a 1520 cc flat-6 engine. Although it was still carbureted, Honda introduced solid state digital ignition. This both increased power and reduced noise. Honda also enclosed the entire motorcycle in plastic, giving it a seamless appearance.
