Iconic Motorbikes

Iconic's 4th auction ending Tuesday's a genuine race bike in miniature! The Ohvale GP-0 190 combines a 25hp Daytona Anima engine with a purpose built chassis and weighs just 150 pounds! This one's from '22 and it's available for bid with RESERVE MET until 1PM PT on Iconicmotorbikeauctions.com

The Ohvale GP-0 is the passion project of Valerio Da Lio, and his Italian firm is very adamant about one thing – this is not a toy or a pocket bike, it’s a full-spec race bike that just happens to be on the small side.

As they put it, “The GP-0 is in fact a new concept, it is not a “pocket bike”, a “Mini GP” nor a “pit bike”, but comes from the desire to design a vehicle that offers the fun and ease of riding of a real motorcycle, and daring racing driving style only professional riders can afford. This small motorcycle, with its purposeful, accessible and playful ergonomics, allows for the extreme riding style of a real racing bike while dramatically reducing the costs and transport inconveniences related to track riding. ”

The GP-0 is offered in a variety of displacements – 110cc, 160cc, and 190cc. The 190cc Daytona Anima four-stroke engine produces a claimed 25 horsepower and the entire package weighs just 150 pounds.

This example has no odometer (or speedometer/tachometer), true mileage is unknown. The bike has an hour meter which shows 1.9 hours.

Modifications:
-Honda RC30-inspired paint job
-Arrow exhaust

The sale includes a front stand and a spare set of painted bodywork.

Currently located in Panorama City, California, this Ohvale is offered on a Bill of Sale only.

Wrapping up third for our auction site Tuesday was available for just two years; the GPz750 Turbo was one of the quickest Japanese motorcycles of its era, packing 112 horsepower and a 10.7 second quarter mile time! This iconic Kawi's from '84 and it's available for bid until 12PM PT on Iconicmotorbikeauctions.com

Considered by many to be the best of the Japanese turbo’d bikes from the 80s, the GPz750 was sold for just two years. As a reminder of why turbochargers are so impressive: this motor produced 112 horsepower, which was good enough for a 10.7 second quarter mile. It would take Kawasaki another 6 years to beat that with the naturally-aspirated ZX-11, which knocked off the quarter in 10.26!

From a Sport Rider Retrospective: “ All right, what’s Kawasaki’s Turbo like to ride? Exciting, that’s what. No, you won’t flick through the chicanes like your buddies on their CBR900RRs and VFR750s (or old Norton Commandos, either); canyon carving isn’t the Turbo’s métier. Instead, it makes deliberate progress, as befits machines with nearly 60-inch wheelbases. Sweepers and straights are a different story. In this environment the ZX750 will hold its own, thank you. It is, after all, making 73 foot-pounds of torque at 6500 rpm. These are serious numbers.”

“Turbo-heads don’t give a lick that preboost performance (under 3500) is, well, civilized (Okay, a little doggy). Two blinks of an eye later and those two little wheels are doing their stuff. By four grand you’re hearing their high-pitched whine, like a demented dentist’s drill, only probably faster. By 5000, even guys with skidpads on their knees had better be paying attention.”

This example's odometer shows 30,047 kilometers, (18,670 miles.)

Modifications:
-Emgo branded left side mirror

Currently located in Bloomington, Indiana, this Kawasaki is offered on a clean Illinois title.

Ending for our auction site 2nd Tuesday: Honda’s legendary all rounder - the fifth generation VFR800 combines a flexible 110-hp V4 with sportbike performance, and everyday usability! This interceptor is from 2000 and it's available for bid until 11AM PT on iconicmotorbikeauctions.com

“In a market segment characterized by extremes, Honda’s VFR has always trod the middle ground – never the fastest, or the lightest, or the quickest way around a racetrack, but always a standout, biased more toward balance than bravado, a sportbike for the real world.” That’s how Motorcyclist magazine introduces Honda’s legendary Interceptor in this timeline of the model .

As noted by MCN, many Honda fans think that the fifth generation “is the best version of the best motorcycle ever built,” calling it a “consumate all rounder that looks great and goes better whether you’re on a track day, commuting or heading on a two week holiday with pillion and luggage.” It’s an excellent combination of old and new, blending the classic feeling we all love with modern conveniences such as fuel injection, modern tire sizes, digital instrumentation, and cartridge forks.

This example's odometer shows 22,937 miles.

Maintenance:
“I changed the oil, I have all receipts. The former owner did a lot of work: forks rebuilt, all brake calipers rebuilt, steering stem rebuilt with taper bearing upgrade, 520 RK chain and sprockets, new battery, all fluids done.”

Modifications:
-All Balls hardware on forks/steering bearings
-Heavy duty 50 amp MOSFET regular/rectifier
-Black Widow slip-on
-Domino grips
-Quad-Lock phone mount
-Aftermarket windscreen
-Tank protector

The sale includes 2 ignition keys. “It comes with OEM exhaust, rear seat cowl, windscreen, tool kit, front turn signals, rear passenger pegs, seat, grab handle, original full-size manual.”

Currently located in Springfield, Missouri, this Honda is offered on a clean Missouri title.

First to close up for Iconic Tuesday: the overachieving two stroke that earned a reputation for embarrassing bigger bikes; the RD350 remains one of the era’s great lightweight sportbikes! This one's from '74 and it's available for bid until 10AM PT on iconicmotorbikeauctions.com

Upon its release in 1973, the Yamaha RD350 was an instant classic. An evolution of the R5, it featured the reliable two-stroke reed-valve 350cc parallel twin, which was capable of consistently dusting bikes with 750cc engines. This bike, simply put, was an overachiever. In fact, A period Yamaha ad showed a sad looking rider at a bar with the phrase “Don’t feel bad. You’re not the first 750 rider to get blown off by a Yamaha 350.”

While most big bikes could eventually beat the Yamaha RD350 in a straight line, this bike had quite an advantage when it came to the corners. At the time, this was easily one of the best handling bikes you could buy – the bonus being that it was dirt cheap. In 1974, a RD350 sold for $908. A Kawasaki Z1 sold for $1,995. Wanted a Ducati 750SS? You’d have to spend over $3,000. The RD350 was quick, agile, and accessible to the average rider. Motorcycle Classics calls this the “ Best Bang for the Buck .”

This example's odometer shows 12,562 miles.

Maintenance:
“Replaced battery, replaced petcock, cleaned carbs, adjusted brake switch.”

Modifications:
“Exhaust system and air filters, foot rest, petcock, fuel lines and filter, seat cover, brake master cylinder, clutch perch, levers.”

Currently located in Bloomington, Indiana, this Yamaha is offered on a clean Georgia title.

Another wonderful Sunday ride with my mates and gotta say…it was perfect!

Beautiful PCH, the canyons, the ROCKSTORE and an extended canyon ride back…. 5 of us on Ducatis including Joe that runs iconics front office on his Monster. Most of the guys came back to my place so we could all change and walk to lunch in Brentwood. Couldn’t have been more perfect!

I will say it was a bit HOT but all good.

It was my first day hitting the canyons on the Panigale V4S that I bought from kaming 11294 so I got to scrub in those new tires…man I love that bike and the bayliss replica livery is so ME!

I’ve owned a bunch of Panigales so far. Loved my Panigale V4’s but I rarely keep anything. Today was an eye opener though as it reminded me…

It reminded me that the V4 suits “me”better. I loved my 1299 V2 Anniversario but my hands would go numb no matter how loose my grip, regardless of my wrist angle. Not an issue on a V4. Two…I forgot how much I love GP shift patterns, even for the street. I think I may need to convert my CBR RRR and Hyper SP, it’s just more natural feeling although I do seem to ride a bit faster than I likely should…I’ll slow it down.

Thank you to our latest share holder (and his brother) for the meetings over the last two days. It appears we’re going to do some VERY BIG things together to expand Iconic and most certainly liveiconic.com. We even pulled my wife into the discussions as she’s a big part of all my decisions and she she’s 100% in and EXCITED for us!

Big things…big news…is forthcoming later this year. You’re sure to love it!

Thx to my Sunday ride mates. Truly adore you guys!

Early this week I posted 4 reels on a “highlight of my life experience”.

Spent the day with a man I adored & looked up to from my early years in motorbikes. I truly accredit Scott Russell for much of the man I am today for motivating me to “kick ass in life & business”

Phase II of that journey is coming up soon!

Both the limited edition ZXR400 and Scott’s ICONIC Winning ZX7R will arrive our CA HQ soon as I personally loaded them in Iconic MotoBoxes while there.

Scott Russell , his cousin Chris and I filmed some great YouTube content so we will post that video up on our channel next weekend once Attacus is done with the editing.

Then the real cool sh** begins! We’re going to fix a couple blemishes on the 400, get it to run. Then get a closer look at Scott’s ZX7R on our shop walks before both bikes get listed on iconicmotorbikeauctions.com.

As a reminder, I advanced the reserve on both bikes as Scott and I came to what “WE” believe was a fair number. That means if they miss reserve, iconic will keep them for part of our display / iconic museum bikes.

As a side note, if they exceed the advanced reserve, Scott will receive a majority portion of the “upside” as he deserves it!

Scott and Chris…I will NEVER forget our day together and that last photo, that very sincere “man hug” ….was exactly what I needed :).

PS. We since decided the yellow signed helmet that Scott wore during his wins will be included with the ZX7R auction as will the matching leathers on the wall. The 400 will include his matching leathers as well. The signed white Russell helmet will get its own auction with some of the lucky strike leathers, all of which will be on our site in the next 2 weeks.

Yep…it’s now 4:20AM and I’m up all night thinking about bikes and my Sunday ride. The only way to live!

Our client & newest shareholder asked us to have two of his recently acquired bikes ready for a Sunday Ride as we just completed a 9 hour meeting on plans for Iconic 2027

Alright gents…. Tim from Iconic Transport delivered them to my place, I went back to the office to get my Bayliss livery V4S I bought from Kaming Ko

I’m so excited I can’t sleep! 3 hours to go before we hit the canyons and ROCKSTORE followed by a road I know you’re going to love!

Let’s GO Boys!

Hope to see some iconic clients and mates at PCH & Sunset for a 8AM departure. Then a stop for coffee at Alfred Coffee in Malibu before heading into the hills.

It’s going to be a hot day on hot Ducatis so we’re gonna have to pick up the pace……oh darn!

For the rest of you. We made some big…wait…table that…MASSIVE… plans for iconic 2027 so stay tuned and hang on tight!
