Rotary Unicorn: 1976 Hercules Wankel W-2000

With all the interesting cars for sale around the web, you don't have to be a millionaire to buy them, but you might need Jay Leno's garage space to store them -- particularly if you like inexpensive oddballs that may sit for a month or a year while you wait for a custom made part (or the other remaining model to end up on co-part). However, if your collection includes those of the two-wheeled variety, you might be able to have your cake and eat it too.  And by cake, I mean one-off rotary powered unicorn.  Find this 1976 Hercules Wankel W-2000 here on eBay bidding for $3,789 reserve-not-met with 5 days to go, located in Chicago, IL. Tip from Zach Z.

WWII Paratrooper: 1942 Excelsior Welbike

There are few things more terrifying than the idea of parachuting into a Nazi infested European mainland equipped only with a small folding motorcycle.   However, an enemy that is doubled over in laughter at seeing you ride a clown-cycle is perhaps an easier target.  Find this 1942 Excelsior Welbike here on eBay with starting bid of $7,500 reserve-not-met located in Santa Rosa, CA with 3 days to go.

Boss Stage: 1970 Kawasaki G4TR Trail Boss

In 1968 Yamaha introduced the DT-1, the original dual sport or enduro as it was called back then.  The DT-1 created a market in the US for on/off road capable bikes that weren't just street bikes that just looked rugged.  Kawasaki followed with their line of enduros including the 100cc two stroke G4TR Trail Boss produced from 1970 to 1978. Find this highly original 1970 Kawasaki Trail Boss for sale in Spokane, WA for $900 via craigslist.

2k: Stoned in WA (It’s Legal!): 1970 Bridgestone 350 GTR

This next feature comes from the pen of Gianni as part of Daily Turismo's 4-Stroke Good, 2-Stroke Better campaign to save the 2-strokes: The Kabushiki-gaisha Burijisuton or Bridgestone Corporation started in Japan in 1930 as a tire manufacturer with the goal of manufacturing tires based solely on Japanese technology in order to avoid dependence on European and North American technology.  During WW2 it was placed under military control and all tire manufacturing was directed toward military use.  The country and company was devastated after the war and began manufacturing motorcycles and bicycles in addition to tires.  In 1967, Bridgestone introduced the 350 GTR two stroke.  It was considered as one of the most sophisticated Japanese motorcycles of the 60’s and cost as much as a Triumph Bonneville.  Production ended in 1971 with only a small number of sales over the 4 years of manufacture.  Rumors persist that Honda and the other large Japanese bike manufacturers pressured Bridgestone to get out of motorcycle construction and concentrate on tires.  Find this 1970 Bridgestone 350 GTR on Craigslist in Des Moines, WA (not IA) for $2,100.

3k: BikeTruck: 1990 Daihatsu HiJet, GSX600r-powered

The Daihatsu HiJet is a truck of many virtues. It's mostly at home hauling small loads around small obstacles while consuming small amounts of fuel. They're cheap. They're illegal on highways in most states, which is a moot point given their low top speeds. Now, a methed-out MacGyver has spliced the rear half of a "Gixxer" with a HiJet, at the expense of a few of those virtues (payload and 4WD) while adding a new one: 100 mph and beyond. Find this Half 1990 Daihatsu HiJet, half 1994 Suzuki GSX600r for sale in St. Cloud, MN for $2,500 via craigslist.

5k: Granpappy's Superbike: 1986 Honda VF1000R


Yesterday, DT Reader Cody commented on our Coffee Break that we should consider including some vintage motorcyles in our mix of posts. As it turns out, I try to keep an eye on a couple of bikes, and came across this 1986 Honda VF1000R currently bidding for $3,500 in Coarsegold, CA on EBay with just a day left to go. This bike calls to me as I'm a huge fan of someone restoring and tweaking a bike to make it their own. Having ditched the original Red/White/Blue Honda livery in favor of contrasting blue/orange this bike looks decades newer than it is.  The addition of a non-stock extended windscreen creates more of a highway appearance than its original proned-out riding position.

5k: 1974 BMW Bavaria E3 sedan w/ BMW bike

The BMW E3 was the big daddy to the modern 5-series and packs a lot of cool into an affordable vintage package.  Badged as the Bavaria and powered by torquey inline sixes, the E3 (and E9 coupe cousin) proved that BMW was a player in the luxury sport sedan market and today are very inexpensive to own and maintain.  This 1974 BMW Bavaria is offered for sale in the SF Bay Area, CA via the e9coupe.com forums at a very reasonable $4974 asking.
