Welcome to Seattle-Motorcycles.com if you’re a new reader, and for the folks who are returning for the upcoming Spring season, welcome back my friends!

I’ve put a new skin on Seattle-Motorcycles.com – I liked the previous look, but the theme and container didn’t allow for a cool new feature, the Featured Content Gallery at the top of the main page.

I’m also going to purge some older posts. As you may know, what I do here is look through Craigslist and eBay Seattle-area motorcycle listings and highlight street cycles that are affordable and decent. There are probably 12 dirtbikes for every street bike listing on Craigslist, and while dirt riding is a great sport, street motorcycles are a bit more practical (and popular, especially in today’s economic climate.)

Being the internet nerd that I am, I like to look at statistics. As of today, the top 10 most searched terms that result in traffic to this humble site since January 1, 2009 are:

1. triumph bobber for sale
2. honda bobber
3. suzuki bandit 400
4. bobbers for sale
5. triumph bobber
6. bank repo motorcycles
7. yamaha vision
8. rat bikes for sale
9. 1986 yamaha fazer
10. repo motorcycles

It’s an interesting list. I’m glad that my favorite motorcycle of all time, the do-it-all 1986 Yamaha Fazer is in the top 10. The Suzuki Bandit 400 is a very rare bike here in the States (much more popular in Europe). And I have an entire page devoted to finding repo motorcycles. I’m not a huge fan of riding bobber motorcycles, I’ll admit, but bobbers are some interesting cycles to look at and admire for their uniqueness and art. Finally, the interest in rat bikes completely baffles me.

I’ll use this list and keep an eye out for them in particular in my travels. I have some tools I can use to fetch such motorcycles and post them here.

So have a look around, subscribe to my RSS feed so you’ll receive updates immediately.

And thanks for visiting!  If this site got zero traffic, I’d have quit it a while ago – and kept the neat motorcycle sale finds to myself.

Lots of other updates to this bike build on a 1982 CB650 frame. Not for everyone, but there is something quite likable about it. While this particular Honda custom bobber motorcycle is no longer for sale, there are probably tons more available here.

“65 BSA 650 Bobber, has a fresh top end by Gonzales motors(Tacoma), New Firestone vintage tires, original BSA A50 aluminun tank. Bike has a clear WA title in my name, just needs to be wired to be up and running and on the road. Great winter project that doesn’t need a whole lot to finish! Please call with questions.

While this particular BSA bobber motorcycle is no longer available, there are lots more available here.
