    not a bike but V-12 1500 cc Honda Formula 1 car 1965

    Got the winter doldrums, and want some motorsports sound in your life? How about a V-12 1500 cc Honda F1 Grand Prix car from 1965? It reportedly was capable of 14,000 rpm and living.

    DARN the Bad Luck! (Honda CR125R Dirt Bike Engine Seized)

    TWO DAYS AGO I bought a 1989 Honda CR125R so I could go dirt riding with my son, who also has a Honda 125 dirt bike. I paid the equivalent of about $500 for it. Well, I tested it before I bought it, and everything was fine (except hard starting with the kick start). Went riding today and the...
