See Any Sweet Bikes Today?

[Slash]

Sort of like the DYSATGT thread in cars in general. Pics are nice but aren't required.


A little over a week ago I saw a Yamaha 225DX trike. Anything other than Honda in the trike world is becoming rare so I almost soiled myself.

Well not in this weather...

I usually post any nice motorcycles I've seen in the DYSAGT thread. I mean, that's what it's for right?

I do as well, it's one of the threads that people don't bitch at you for posting bikes in.

I figured it was time its own thread was made.

Well, this is what I have for now, old photos:

Street spot:
Honda CBR Fireblade

Event photos:
BMW R71

This seems to be a Harley-Davidson WLA.

Another H-D WLA, with a Dodge WC63.

Zundapp KS750

A BMW (R12?) with a cart.

BMW R75 Sahara

Another H-D WLA, with some more bikes on the background (BMW R35 is clearly visible).

Museum photos:
Two Ural M-72's, the Soviet WWII army bikes with flat-2 engines, based on the BMW R71.

Some kind of Simson (425?)

Can't identify these, can anybody help?

Those bottom 2 look like KLR650's.

 

[Slash]

Similar, that's for sure.

I typed in "KLR650 military", and this showed up.

The fenders on his look a bit more squared off. Perhaps they are older models?

Spotted one of these in town the other day...it's been years since I've seen one. It's the Honda TR200 and TR200R "Fatcat". Looks a bit funny by today's standards but was nearly unbeatable in the 1980's against dirtbikes, and it got banned from AMA after 2 years because of that. 65mm carb, 5 valve head, "Uni-cam" technology, 199cc, 16,000rpm, 50lbs lighter than an XR200R, titanium frame, forged internals, fiberglass fenders, ultra-light drum brakes that were lighter than discs, and 48 horsepower out of a 4 stroke...that's insane from 1986/87. They say because of the large tires the thing handled like velcro and stuck to the ground....now only if it had a manual clutch...
