1999 Kawasaki ZRX1100, $2500

Burien, WA

“This is a one owner garaged kept super clean machine. Two brothers pipe, good tires. Stock and unmolested.
No, not a squid boy crotch rocket. But a super street bike, with massive roll-on power. 20k +miles.
No trades, serious only will call before 10pm please. Gladly send larger pictures.Will not send bla bla bla over email. If it posted it is available.”

We love Zee Rexes. Why? Plenty of power, very comfortable, great retro throwback styling, very easy to live with motorcycle, and it’s very customizable. For being a one owner bike, it’s at a good offering price. I just don’t understand the owner’s refusal to send bla bla bla over email… what exactly is bla bla bla and why would he prefer to use a telephone to exchange said bla bla bla?

Anyway, if the link to this craigslist ad brings up nothing, then the bike obviously isn’t for sale any longer. 1) our economy still sucks and 2) it’s late October, there’s not as much motorcycle wheeling and dealing going on as, say, May.

If you’re pining for a newer year ZRX, more are probably available here:

“Turn key VF750F classic crotch rocket 30,000 miles good rubber and brakes. This bike runs strong and sweet and even has a radar detector. $1,500″

Aftermarket F-1 exhaust pipes are clearly seen in this classic sportbike’s picture. $1,500 seems like a great deal; the mileage is no problem. It goes nice and stops nice, the owner says. A great collectible non-tariff displacement Interceptor here.

More Interceptors for sale nationwide? Yep! Here they are:

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.

While this particular ZeeRex is no longer available for sale, If you like Kawasaki’s ZRX 1100/1200 as much as I do, there may be more ZRX’s available for sale nationwide:

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.

“For sale is a 1986 Yamaha Fazer with the Genesis 700cc engine. This bike is also known as the “baby V-Max” as they look very similar. This bike is in very good to excellent condition. You will not find one in this good of shape with original, shiny paint probably anywhere in the country. It has no scratches and has not been down (to my knowledge). This is a very hard to find and collectible bike. I have added foam grips, bar end mirrors, and a windshield. Fresh oil and plugs about 400 miles ago. Tires and chain in great shape. Jump on it before it’s gone. $2300 firm.”

In the Spring of 2001 I paid $2500 for my second Yamaha Fazer, a 1986 model. It wasn’t quite as nice as this particular specimen for sale. The owner/seller doesn’t state how many miles the bike has on it, but their engines hold up quite well, so I wouldn’t worry much if it was under 40k. The mounted windscreen is a third party manufactured unit; Yamaha made a color coded quarter fairing/windscreen specifically for the Fazer and Radians in 1986 that looked a little sportier than this one. I nit pick.

Although this particular 1986 Yamaha Fazer standard motorcycle is no longer for sale, there may be more:

Other Fazers may be available for sale here.

2nd owner, 37,680 miles. Reciepts for all work done, comes with suit and gloves. $1,600 Marysville, WA.

This is the first year for the Interceptor from Honda. In 1984, Honda offered a 700cc version (called just Interceptor, the true 750cc engine Interceptor was the V45, and cost $800 more, thanks to the Reagan Administration’s Harley Davidson protective tariff). This vintage Interceptor could be a collector’s item.

If this Honda V45 Interceptor is gone, more may be available here.

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

“I have a 1982 Yamaha Vision 550 for sale or trade. Great condition, super clean bike. 23,000 miles and stills runs and looks amazing. newer battery, shaft driven, liquid cooled V-Twin 4 stroke that starts every time. carbs cleaned and jetted about a year ago. The throttle cable is a little finicky but is a really easy fix, i just don’t have the time. This bike has lots of power. Comfortable to ride and I would take it anywhere in the country. Clean Title in hand.” This Yamaha Vision has sold.

More Visions and related accessories may be available here.
