1977 Honda Express - The little bike that could break the ice.

If there's a reluctant enthusiast in your household who needs a little gentle persuasion, then get her on a new Honda Express. It's just the machine to have for those first rides. Rides that open a whole new world without the confusion of clutches, transmissions and tachometers. Riding the Honda Express is actually as easy as riding a bicycle. A centrifugal clutch takes care of power delivery so all you have to do is twist the throttle and off you go. The Honda Express is powered by an economic 49cc two-stroke engine that can deliver over 100 miles per gallon. It has a top speed of 30 mph and is designed to require minimum service...At only $295, how can you miss?... 1977 Honda Express Moped Scooter Motorcycle Ad available at www.DadsVintageAds.com CLICK THE PICTURE TO "BUY IT NOW"

1977 BMW R100RS - Suddenly an awful lot of bikes look awfully old-fashioned

This, riders, is the new BMW R100RS. And if you think it looks great in this picture, picture yourself pulling up to a light on it next to a group of ordinary bikes. Of course, BMW doesn't just design a motorcycle to look great. We design a motorcycle to work great, too. Our unique, frame-mounted Integral Cockpit Fairing, for example, was designed in the wind-tunnel to be a functioning part of the total motorcycle. Not an afterthought. What results is a kind of streamlining that does more. You'll notice the spoilers in the mid-section. And a smooth, flowing surface that starts below the covered headlight and continues up over the parking light and windscreen. These surfaces combine to create downforce. And that downforce gives the rider better roadholding and stability. Not just at high speeds, but at all speeds... 1977 BMW R100RS 2-Page Ad available at www.DadsVintageAds.com CLICK THE PICTURE TO "BUY IT NOW"

1977 Harley-Davidson Sportster - What other motorcycle looks like 60 mph parked?

The Harley-Davidson Sportster. Fast, maneuverable, powerful. Over the years, the Sportster has become a Harley-Davidson classic. A narrow, low-slung, V-twin that's famous for its low, rumbling sound. Called the sports car of motorcycles, Sportsters still hold numerous speed records. (A Harley-Davidson Streamliner with a modified Sportster engine still holds the Bonneville Land Speed record as the fastest single-engine motorcycle in America.) The 1977 Sportster is the latest in this classic line. A cycle that's meant to move. And move it will. Major changes in the engine include the addition of the performance-oriented, 2 into 1 Collector exhaust system. Mated with the Collector exhaust, are an oil pump that improves lubrication and provides easy access for servicing, and a simpler, more efficient shift mechanism. The result is not only more efficiency, but a more reliable running, cleaner designed Sportster engine for 1977...Until you've been on a Harley-Davidson, you haven't been on a motorcycle. 1977 Harley-Davidson Sportster 2-Page Ad available at www.DadsVintageAds.com CLICK THE PICTURE TO "BUY IT NOW"
