🚨 NEW INVENTORY: 1980 Honda XL250S 🚨

Looking for an honest vintage thumper? This XL250S just came off the bench and it is dialed. With only 4,500 original miles, it’s a turn-key survivor that starts 1st kick.

What we did at Hate City Cycles:
✅ Full Carburetor Overhaul (New pumper rebuild kit & petcock).
✅ New Tires, Tubes, and Rim Strips (Front & Rear).
✅ Exhaust Restoration (VHT Flat Black & new gaskets).
✅ New Battery & full safety inspection.

This bike has its authentic 'earned patina' but has the mechanical soul of a new machine. Ready for your next weekend escape.

One of my good regulars is clearing out some garage space, which means two killer machines are up for grabs.
​Bike 1: A rad Yamaha vertical-twin hardtail bobber. Dubbed "Soul Delivery," this thing is loaded with custom touches—springer front end, sprung solo seat, custom tank pinstriping, and wrapped pipes with brass accents. Kick it and go.
​Bike 2: A classic 90 Honda VFR750. Iconic red styling, white wheels, single-sided swingarm, and that legendary V4 engine. A perfect canyon carver or reliable retro commuter.
​Both bikes are looking for their next chapter. Slide into our DMs if you're interested, and we’ll connect you directly with the owner.

1981 Suzuki GS650E, the sportiest of the GS650 models with dual disc on the front and single disc on the rear. This bike boasts a hair more horsepower than any of the other GS650s. This is a running bike with Dyna-s ignition, Dynatek coils, and K&N air filters. It has just under 10k miles and runs and rides great.

Is anyone else seeing premature clutch failure on the Honda 300cc engines? The top two are from a CB300R with 3400 miles, and the bottom three are from a Rebel 300 with 5400 miles. Replaced the clutch with Barnett parts.

This is a 1975 Kawasaki KX125. It has spark, and I rebuilt the bottom end about 10 years ago, but it needs the cylinder plated; it has low compression. It has a fresh piston and rings.
Some parts are missing, but it comes with a box of parts.

This bike started its life as a 73 Honda CL70 with a bad engine. I installed a Lifan 125cc engine with a Mikuni carb, custom exhaust, cafe racer tank, and seat.
I threw this thing together for Small Bore at Barber Motorsports Park, the first year they had it. I rode it the entire weekend (which is all this little Lifan engine has run), topped out at about 60mph, and took it apart to finish the build, but never got back to it.
The bike does run, but it will need to be gone through before being ridden. There are some missing parts, and the wiring needs to be gone through to have lights.

I spent about a week exploring DIY vacuum forming, but ultimately decided to stick with the wisdom my 4th-grade art teacher imparted: the K.I.S.S. principle (Keep it simple, stupid). So, I utilized a heater, a window screen frame, some clamps, ABS plastic, and a box to create a battery cover and side covers for the Virago project.
