Bike of the Month / March 2026 Bike of the Month
Last post by FromMaine - March 02, 2026, 07:10:45 AM
Some restorations start with a solid bike that maybe is a bit cosmetically challenged, or in need of some minor maintenance.

Some start with bike that looks fine but is in need of a major overhaul, like engine out for work, front end and swingarm removed, electrical system sorted type of work.

Some restorations start with a bike that has been put down, run over by a car for good measure then left to its own devices in the elements to boot.

This months Bike of the Month is the latter, rather than the former two.

The goal was obviously to get a sound rideable bike out of a pile of broken, bent and weathered parts rather than a magazine cover motorcycle.

Congratulations Rayman, your 1983 VF750F is March 2026's Bike of the Month.

Of course some of you who have been on the Board for a while will recognize that Rayman is the member who came up with alternative spark boxes for our first Gens. Nice Work!

I'd be proud to have that girl in my stable.

Like Mike said,... just the way it was imagined by the creators.

Hard to believe this is the 14th year of the new BOTM. So I guess its not new anymore. :)

This months winner is a classic. Black with nice chrome accents, slash mufflers, rectangular headlight with exposed gauges, six pack rack.

Just the way Honda wanted to present the V65 Magna to the world.

Congratulations hipczech your 83 V65 Magna is Feb. 2026's BOTM.

Nice example of the first year for the 1100.

Magoo

Good point Mike, I missed that detail of the pegs. Think that's a KG engine guard.
I like the drag bar setup with rectangular headlight and the dual horns, looks Easy Riderish. I know I'm not that guy. But I could be for an hour or two at the local doughnut shop bike night on that. :)
