If you have heard of the small Spanish motorcycle manufacturer Gas Gas, you've probably heard about them via motorcycle trialing. Gas Gas got their start when two ex-Bultaco guys started hand building trials bikes in 1985. You'd be forgiven not knowing that they began building enduros in 1989 and still do today.

The tag line for Motorcycle Classics magazine is "Ride them, don't hide them". With our next subject, the original owner seems to have chose the hide it option. I've always said that classic motorcycles are cheap to buy right now, so here's the optortunity to get in on the ground floor for appreciation (if that is your thing). Find this 1973 Kawasaki F6 with 248 miles on it for sale in Seattle, WA for $1,850 via craigslist.
Nowadays we call them dual sports - Swiss army knife bikes that can do both on road and off road. Back in the 70's we called them enduros after the enduro events like the International Six Day Trial, where competing bikes had to be street-able as well as able to handle the rough stuff. When the nuts at Hodaka finally built an enduro, of course it had to have a wacky name, and it did: Road Toad. Find this 1976 Hodaka Road Toad for sale on Fox Island, WA for $3,900 via craigslist.
We live in an age of choice. Compared to 50 years ago, we have numerous choices in our living arrangements, snack foods, apps on our smartphone and even which restroom you want to use. However, one place where is less choice today is in motorcycle brands. Today, you can choose from the major names from Europe and Asia, but off beat brands, like Bridgestone (yes the tire company) are no longer part of that choice. Find this 1970 Bridgestone TMX100 for sale in Portland, OR for $1,200 via craigslist. Tip from JB1025.
It's not that I didn't believe KB-Zed's postulate (with endorsements from E-i-C Vince and Co-Founder CFlo) that the SF Bay Area Craigslist has the best listings, but still I have to do my President Reagan "Trust but verify". So when it came time to find a bike for this weeks edition of Two Stroke Tuesday, I thought I'd test the theory and use the Bay Area CL instead of my local CL, and damn, if KBZ wasn't right. Find this 1973 Kawasaki 350 Bighorn for sale in Woodside, CA for $3,500 via craigslist.
Say you find a 40 year old motorcycle in Idaho with 200 miles on it. What do you do with it? Ride it like Yamaha intended and enjoy a new 40 year old enduro?
