Classic Honda Motorcycles That Buyers Can Surprisingly Still Afford Today
By LUKE MITCHELL
1993 CBR600F2
Also known in the U.S. as the Hurricane, this 4-cylinder sports bike has become part of biking folklore thanks to its excellent balance and handling.
Today, you can buy a mint-conditioned 1993 F2 for as little as $3,500, a more than reasonable price for such versatility, performance, and a top speed of up to 147 miles per hour.
2001 GL1800 Gold Wing
The 2001 Honda GL1800 remains impressive on paper, even by today's standards, and it was so advanced that Honda didn't need to update it for seven years.
It’s still one of the largest displacement production motorcycles ever built and can be snapped up for a bargain at an average of $4,685.
1982 VF750C Magna
This bike was Honda’s answer to a Harley Davidson and the perfect compromise for those who liked classic good looks but preferred Japanese reliability and value.
It was so popular that it came out of retirement in 1994 and had a decade-long second production run, with older examples selling in good condition for under $3,000.
1998 VTR1000F Super Hawk
The 996cc VTR1000F Super Hawk was very advanced for its time and was Honda’s answer to the Suzuki TL1000 and Ducati 916 models.
This ‘90s sports bike might not be practical, but the Honda VTR1000F is accessible with used prices averaging between $2,000 and $3,000.
1994 VFR750F-RJ
The Honda VFR750F was already one of America's favorite sports bikes but the 1994 model was lighter, streamlined, and more accessible to the average rider.
You might think that such a celebrated and revered motorcycle would be costly, but you can pick up a good-condition VFR750F-RJ for a reasonable $3,000 today.
