    Hey, I am a 19 year old student from Germany. Since I have started thinking about drivers license and what vehicle to drive, my dad's Yamaha XT500 (1980) came to mind.

    I’ve been looking on market place and found this 72’ Honda CB350F and was wondering if this would be a good bike to try and fix up and ride.

    I recently got a 1994 Kawasaki Ninja 500 (EX 500), and I'm in the process of taking it apart. It has been sitting for about 11 years, and has 5k miles on it. There are a lot of lines that are cut off in the middle, but that's not my main concern right now. My main concern is how to properly...

    I am a new member hoping to get some advice on a restoration. My father-in-law passed away leaving me his 1963 Yamaha YG1T. The bike had not been run for over thirty years. He had always told me he wanted to get the bike running again, but unfortunately, he never got to it. When he passed, I...

    Thinking about buying a second bike to pull parts of off. What is the best way to find out if they will be compatible with my 81 Honda Cm400E? Do I have to check part by part what works what doesnt?

    Good evening, folks! Here is a picture of my next restoration project, but I am hoping to get some help with identifying it with certainty, since I got it at auction from a company that cleans out estates and abandoned storage units.

    Hello everyone, I am new to this website and am trying to become new to motorcycling. I went to look at a 1983 Honda shadow and am not sure whether I have found a good deal or not.

    Hello Folks, I got a 1980 bike with 2700 miles but hasn't been used in 30 years. It is in pretty good shape but need to put oil in and maybe another chemical to clean it before cranking it up. If you are a Honda specialist, please share your genius. Thanks. Rotorhead NY,NY

    Hello everyone. I just recently bought an 89 Honda Gold Wing GL1000 from a buddy of mine, as he needed it gone fast. It's been sitting in his garage for at least 2 years, probably longer. The gas tank and brake system were empty, had some oil in it, and the battery is completely shot. According...
