100% Custom Build 1980 Honda CX500 Cafe Racer. The bike is a full frame - off 12 month restoration with no expenses spared. This bike can be easily used for everyday riding. It is light, nimble and unbelievably fun to ride. Breathtaking - this is the most common response you hear from people seeing this build in our showroom. This bike is perfect from top to bottom. Everything on this bike was taken apart, restored or replaced. It was professional build over a 12 month period. To give this bike its unique look the tank was hand - painted by an artist over a three month period. It now has the artists signature pattern and styling that adds a new element to the bike and will never again be re - created. This build is a blend between modern performance, and vintage styling. The frame was first shortened and butted, and had all of the unnecessary tabs and brackets removed before it was sent to powder coat in a layer of classic gloss black. The wheels were also powder coated, but in a semi-gloss to give multiple layers of black tones on the bike. The wheels were then wrapped in Firestone rubber, to give it the vintage look it needed to compliment all of the other modern components. Each bend in the exhaust is created by pie - cut 1.75¿ stainless steel, and TIG welded for a raw, elemental look. The mission of this build was to create the cleanest, purest and best performing CX500 cafe racer in the world. Mikuni CarbsUsing Mikuni racing carburetors allows for the highest airflow with accurate fuel metering for more power and precise throttle control. An extended main jet and larger needle valve assembly assure maximum fuel flow. MotoGadget Electronics features the m-Unit V.2, a digital control unit, in which the switching operations are completely digitally controlled by a microprocessor and the latest solid-state technology. Also featured are finely CNC machined m-Switch mini hand controls. Mishimioto Radiator every Mishimoto aluminum radiator is fully TIG welded for enhanced durability and polished to a mirror finish. An all aluminum radiator provides a significant increase in cooling efficiency, so you can feel confident in increasing the power levels of your vehicle. Yoshimura Exhaust, Yoshimura offers outstanding performance, thanks to being developed in the heat of competition. The exhaust shaft features a trapezoidal design, which allows a large volume of packing material and in turn delivers top performance. The exhaust also features a carbon fiber tip.One of a Kind Tank. The tank was hand-painted by an artist over a three month period. It now has the artists signature pattern and styling that adds a new element to the bike and will never again be re - created. RFY SuspensionA suspension upgrade offers a world of difference to the older models.

Up for Sale is a beautigul 1979 Triumph Bonneville T-140D (Special).My good friend was diagnosed with cancer and heart disease two and a half years ago and passed this past May. His wife has asked me to help her sell the bike and find a new home for it.  I've inspected the bike myself and have found the following items that she will need done to make her whole again.  The bike has been laid up since he took ill so, the battery will need replacing, the front caliper is frozen, tank is dry and carbs may be calcified or gunked up. A mechanic worth his salt could clear these issues at a reasonable cost.  As such, the final selling price will reflect the cost to straighten her out.  As a side note, this was his baby.  It has been garaged its entire life, never ridden in the rain or snow and never left outside.  It is currently residing in the garage under three layers of sheets.  The battery had been removed back when he took ill and is why I've listed it as needing replacement.  Realize that my friend was a die hard Triumph rider and an adult who owned this bike for over 36 years and maintained it like it was just bought.  I forgot to mention that it has never gone down nor has it ever been involved in an accident.All of this year Bonnevilles were equipped with 5 Speed Gearboxes.  IBike was purchased new by my friend back in 1980-81 time frame.  Original bill of sale is available to purchaser.  He has also had this bike featured in Vintage Bike Magazine in 2000-1 issue.  In that story, he has listed all the work done on the bike to make it traditional or like a classic Triumph.  I have the article available if I can't download.  There are original Triumph manuals included with this bike as well as outside sourced catalogs.  I have included as many photos as possible. Terms are simple: $500 deposit paid by the winning bidder at close of Auction.  Buyer is responsible for arranging shipping or pickup from Southern New Jersey.  Balance of CASH or CERTIFIED BANK CHECK due before release of Clear Title.  Check will clear before release also.  Deposit will be forfeited should buyer back out.I have described this motorcycle as best as possible and offer no warranty implied or otherwise.  Bike is sold as is, where is.Please email any questions you may have.  If you are serious, get a hold of me via my business card (look at last photo) and I can send you the article from Vintage Bike Magazine.  It tells you in my friends own words what he has done to this bike and is very informative.  Mind you, all his efforts have won numerous awards at car shows around NJ and PA.  It needs a good home.NADA Book ValuesExcellent           $6,800 Very Good        $4,145 Good                $2,855 Fair                  $2,210 PoorN/A

This bike is a former British Police Bike purchased in 1966 to become a part of a fleet of police motorcycles in London, England. It was purchased at a police auction by a US citizen in the late 1970's - early 1980's in London. It has been rebuilt/restored from the ground up and is a perfect example of a 650cc model 6T. It was restored to look like an American civilian bike and later to a British civilian bike. It runs great and strong. Has high compression and starts easily with one or two kicks....cold or warm. It is worth more than I am asking and I have documentation to prove its past history as a British Police Bike. For further information or any questions, contact Bob at 616-421-5126. P.S 1966 is the last year Triumph put a Nacelle style headlight on a Thunderbird. Also, the price I am asking is cheaper than a new Triumph.

Feast your eyes on this ultra-cool 2013 Triumph Bonneville Steve McQueen Special Edition #301 of 1100 built worldwide and only 300 for the USA. This highly collectible motorcycle only has 4214 miles and is in showroom condition from front to back. Triumph joined forces with the estate of Hollywood icon Steve McQueen to create a limited edition motorcycle that pays tribute to the late actor’s love of the British motorcycles. Again, only 1100 of the Triumph Steve McQueen TM Edition bikes will be produced and sold worldwide, with only 300 units built for the United States, which is likely to make it one of 2012’s most sought after bikes. McQueen was famous almost as much for his passion for cars, airplanes and motorcycles as he was for his legendary movies. He owned numerous Triumph motorcycles and loved to spend his spare time riding in the Californian dunes aboard his modified 1963 Triumph Bonneville. A highly accomplished rider, he also competed in the 1964 International Six Day Trial in East Germany using a factory-prepared 650cc Triumph Trophy and was reputed to own 138 motorcycles at the time of his death in 1980. Based on the popular Triumph Bonneville T100, the officially licensed Steve McQueen TM Edition features a host of modified parts that takes it a step beyond the usual ‘special edition’. The Triumph Steve McQueen TM Edition also features a number of blacked out components, including wheel rims and hubs, handlebars, rear springs, mirrors and front mudguard supports. To confirm the bike’s provenance, each machine is individually numbered with a plaque placed on the handlebar clamp, while owners will also receive a certificate of authenticity with their machine. The design is inspired by the classic Triumph Trophy TR6 that McQueen insisted on riding during the famous stunt scene in the movie The Great Escape, and features a military style Matte Khaki Green livery, stencil-style Triumph decal on the tank and the actor’s signature on the side covers. A new solo rider seat and black luggage rack have been developed especially for the McQueen bike, which has been fitted with a rugged skid plate and a small headlamp. This Triumph Bonneville Steve McQueen Special Edition motorcycle is only going to appreciate in value as the years go by. This may be your last chance to purchase one of these highly desirable machines.

For sale is a pristine, well maintained Triumph Street Triple R ABS. The bike is stock except for a few basic OEM extras, like Triumph frame sliders, a Triumph Tank Zipper Guard, Triumph Rear Hugger, and Triumph matching front windscreen and bellypan. In my opinion, the street triple looks terrible without those extra body panels. Also, as a little bonus, I routed a permanent battery tender wire, so you don't have to take the seat off when you want to connect the battery to the tender. I will include that and the tender unit.The bike accelerates comfortably and has a great engine sound, but is not loud, which I prefer. It's definitely a sophisticated looking and sounding bike. The tires have an insane amount of grip. I had owned two 1980s bikes before this one and I have to say that this motorcycle inspires absolute confidence on the road that I had never felt before. Everything is rock solid and does exactly what you ask it to. Let's not forget the freaking ABS, which has your back no matter what. Gone are the days of locking up that rear tire in a panic brake. I won't get a motorcycle without ABS ever again. I love everything about the bike, but I'm wanting to upgrade to a Triumph Tiger, now that I've saved up enough to get one.The bike got an oil change last October, using the OEM recommended brand synthetic oil. I will have this done again, before winter hits, but I will factor that into my price, afterwards. There are no functional or cosmetic issues at all. Tires are in great shape. A full tank of gas and some extra oil is included.The R version has 3 adjustable suspension components that you can use to stiffen up the bike for performance or loosen for more comfortable highway riding. I have returned everything to the stock configuration. It's very easy to adjust with just a screwdriver and spanner.The body panels have been kept waxed and the matte black plastic has been treated to wick bugs and water spots. This bike is in dealership new condition!

Stock # X065971978 Triumph T140E classic.The 650 cc capacity production T120 Bonneville was replaced in the early 1970s by the T140 Bonneville, the same basic machine but with a 750 cc engine. Refined from the later 'oil in frame' version of the T120, the first few T140s, designated T140V, featured a larger-capacity engine of 724 cc, a five-speed gearbox and indicators, but still retaining drum brakes and kick-start. Shortly after, the engine was further bored out to 744 cc and front disc brakes were fitted (using single discs until 1982). While originally intended for 'export only' the 750 Bonneville twin, caused so much interest among visitors to the 1973 motorcycle shows, that Triumph decided to put the bike on the home market at the price of 679 uk pounds. In 1975, along with engine modifications, the gearchange lever was moved from right to left to comply with new regulations mandated for the American market and a rear disc brake fitted. Several T140 models followed featuring various modifications and refinements including electric starting from 1980 until production ceased with the closure of the Meriden works in 1983.Although this should have been the end of the Bonneville, as it turned out it was not. Triumph Motorcycles was acquired by businessman John Bloor, who licensed a company called Racing Spares in Devon, run by Les Harris to manufacture the T140 Bonneville. These continuation bikes are known as the 'Devon Bonnevilles', which did not reach the market until 1985, and were not sold in the U.S. Production ended in 1988For more info please call Steele's Cycle at 303-781-5339 or visit our showroom for a test ride!
