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:  

’88 Kawasaki GPX750, £2600
One of the best road bikes of its day, paving the way for first ZXR750
We say: Overshadowed by Suzuki GSX-R750, this sounds a little steep.

 

’79 Yamaha DT175, £950
Definitive late ‘70s stroker trailie would make good project
We say: Honest, decent value and simple to work on – sweet.

 

’79 Suzuki GT250X7, £2499
Ruled 250-roost in late ‘70s hence appeal – and price
We say: Good example shows that is now chasing LC prices.

 

’82 Yamaha RD250LC, £3950
Ultimate ‘80s ‘learner’ 250 with just 9K miles and desireable Prto-Am fairings.
We say: 350 still preferable but this is a real goodie – hence the price.
