We’ve been browsing MCN bikes for sale every day to bring you some of our top picks from over 18,000 motorcycles for sale.             

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

’82 Suzuki GS1000, £2750
Definitive late ’70s Japanese superbike was among best handling of type.
We say: An original (except for exhaust), tidy and honest example.

 

 

’71 BMW R75/5, £3400
Classic, early ’70s BMW boxer right down to drum brakes and tank.
We say: Restored, beautiful classic in good condition and decent value.

 

’80 Honda CB250N, £795
Superdream was most popular of early ’80s four-stroke learner twins.
We say: But dubbed ‘wet dream’ by many. Evocative, not exciting.

 

’76 Triumph Bonneville 750, £4200
750cc T140 was among last bikes to roll out of old Meriden Triumph
We say: Restored, 12k machine, is good looking and vgc.

’88 Yamaha RD350YPVS F2, £1600
Last of genuine Japanese ‘LCs’ was fun, useful and affordable.
We say: Getting rare in this 13k condition, decent value, too.
