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:  

’85 Honda XLV750R, £2000
V-twin shaftie was among first of ‘Paris-Dakar reps – rare
We say: Interesting and quirky, but an Africa Twin’s better

 

’83 Suzuki GSX750 Katana, £1795
Radically-styled sportsters are increasingly collectable
We say: 16-in wheel version and 56K miles means is temptingly cheap

 

’91 Kawasaki KR1-S, £1850
Fast parallel twin stroker was Kawasaki’s riposte to RGV250.
We say: Addictive thrills, good nick and decent value

 

’89 Kawasaki ZX-10, £3400
Old ZX-10 wasn’t GPz9 successor hoped for and ZZ-R11 was much better
We say: Immaculate and just 9000 miles, hence price.
