Motorcycle Honey Hole I Found on Craigslist #vintagemotorcycles #motorcyclerewind #gs1150
In this episode of Motorcycle Rewind, we're diving into what can only be described as a motorcycle enthusiast's dream discovery - a hidden honey hole of vintage bikes. It all started with a seemingly ordinary Craigslist listing for a single motorcycle. But as it turns out, this was just the tip of the iceberg. After a chat with the seller, I stumbled upon an astonishing collection of not one, but twelve additional motorcycles, each with its own story and charm, waiting to be uncovered.
Join me on this unexpected adventure as we explore this treasure trove together. From the initial surprise to the detailed exploration of each motorcycle, this video is a journey through time and engineering. We'll take a closer look at the makes, models, and unique features of these hidden gems, speculate on their histories, and ponder the potential they hold for restoration and revival.
Whether you're a seasoned motorcycle restorer, an enthusiast of vintage bikes, or just love a good treasure hunt, this episode is sure to fuel your passion and maybe even inspire your next project. So gear up and let's dive into the world of forgotten motorcycles, rediscovered in the most unexpected of places.

Ever get a feeling where something doesn't look or feel right ? This Guy is on a whole new level of disorganized. He has enough space to sort these treasures out, but look at the mess it's all in !

19:33 Those are SKS detachable magazines (You moved one) nice find. You should ask him if he still has the SKS. 25:08 That's good ol' TM-31-200-1 on the re-loading bench! I love this guy! My kind of man! What you said about diligence in the search of hidden gem motorcycles is the truth. In the past couple of years I've scored a complete 1976 Honda GL1000 with full Vetter package and a complete and running 2003 Kawasaki ZG1200. Craigslist and FB marketplace are our friends. Old men with old motorcycles die everyday, and the loved ones left behind can't wait to sell them.

I really like that GS1150E. One thing to keep in mind..Suzukis of that era sometimes had top end oil delivery issues. That was the case with my two GS1100's ('82 & '83) and '82 GS 650E. If you buy that 1150, you should remove the valve cover and the camshaft journal caps then lubricate the cams where they ride on the aluminum surface of the head (journals) before trying to turn the engine over. Good luck, I hope you got that bike!

Hey Eric, Lafayette here. Early in this video, you commented that it was fairly simple to get a title for an old bike in Louisiana. I would love to see a video that outlines the requirements of the process and how a person can check the Vin for a lein or theft. Of course, this is if you take requests

@t.s.racing 6 ай бұрын

I build and drag race these, as well as the water cooled early GSXR 1100s. Buy the Suzuki if at all possible, even without a title. I'll explain, the engine cases alone are worth money, because a LOT of people are still racing them, and the engine cases are getting scarce. Many racers turn to aftermarket cylinder blocks and even billet cylinder heads, but you still need a good set of cases. Yes, V&H makes new billet cases, but be prepared to mortgage your home and bring your first born male child to purchase a set.

Hello from the united kingdom I have just subscribed to your channel and I love what you do but please don’t take your hands off the steering wheel while driving on the highway it’s so dangerous and I see you have child’s seats in the back of your vehicle and it’s frightening to think you are doing that when your children are in the car with you. I am sorry to go on to you about it but I would hate it if you lost control of your vehicle and ended up on the wrong side of an hedge. But keep up the good work I really am enjoying your videos Take care and stay safe out there.
