We've been browsing MCN bikes for sale every day to bring you some of our top picks from over 10,000 motorcycles for sale.                                              

Here's just a few of the fantastic modern classic machines available this week:           

Suzuki RE5

1976 Suzuki RE5 - £2995
‘70s rotary was brave, bold but flawed, eminently collectable today, though.
We say: RE’s often go for £5K+ so this ‘in need of restoration’, 8000-miler example looks tempting.

 

Suzuki Katana

1989 Ducati 900SS - £2200
Precursor to Mikuni-carbed sibling which became Ducati’s 1990s bread and butter
We say: As such rare, significant and interesting (but not as good).

 

Kawasaki KR-1S

1991 Kawasaki KR-1S - £1550
Benchmark stroker twin racer rep was a winner on both road and track
We say: Some prefer Suzuki’s RGV but this is original and cheaper…

 

Ducati 748SPS

1998 Ducati 748SPS - £2650
Full bling version of pocket 916 is sweet, iconic and collectable
We say: Track, non-road legal trim and Chilli-rep paint explains price.
