Nova Motorcycles Shopwalk
Sayre's sick so it seemed like the perfect time to do an aimless, rambling walk around the shop. Lot's of great bikes that I know nothing about, but a great excuse to learn. Feast your eyes! Thanks for watching!

Nova Motorcycles-1977 BMW R100s
มุมมอง 1.7Kวันที่ผ่านมา
German engineered, boxer engine, rock-solid, and all that other stuff. And while all that other stuff is good, let's be clear-it's the paint job that makes this bike soooo desirable. Hans Muth (of later Katana fame) styled this bike, and its juicy, smoke-faded Daytona Orange paint came to be know as the Creamsicle. I've seen pictures of these bikes before and thought that looks nice, I can see ...

This is the bike that almost beat Sayre... Never has someone kicked over a bike as much as this... But he didn't give in. The lesson here? Always look at the machine closely and get as much of a history of what's been done, and who did it. And while we may have taken a little bit of a beating on this one, we learned something, and we're thrilled to hand our customer the screamer he was looking ...
Nova Motorcycles-1983 Suzuki Katana 750
มุมมอง 37421 วันที่ผ่านมา
We've got an '83 Suzuki Katana 750 in the backyard designed by none other than Hans Gruber! Strike that, Hans Muth! Those familiar with Hans will know him from his BMW designs-the juicy Creamsicle R90s, the R100RS with its James Bond fairing, and the original R80GS dual sport. The design was not for everyone, but it's become quite collectable and has even had a modern update to the design showi...
Nova Motorcycles-1969 Norton Commando 750s Scrambler
มุมมอง 579หลายเดือนก่อน
Sayre always worries that our viewers might get bored with another Norton Commando video... I disagree. Especially with this one-the 750s scrambler edition is just a real beauty. And with its carefully preserved patina this bike stands out. Let us know if your over it, or keep 'em coming. Thanks for watching! th-cam.com/video/95xIa0o3Lp4/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/users/shorts6QHc4mVzJMo www.norton...
Nova Motorcycles-1979 Harley Davidson XL1000 Sportster Chopper
มุมมอง 414หลายเดือนก่อน
Yeah, it's a chopper built from the AMF era of Harley Davidson, so while mechanically it has a lot to be desired, it just looks cool. It just has the right stance, patina, and stripped down bare-bones of a build that makes it stand out in a crowd. And while you should plan and expect to be stuck on the side of the road from time to time, we say it's still worth the hassle. Cool is cool.

Loved mine back in highschool 67 .. that sound was so nice about it .. went from Iowa to Cal and back flawlessly in 70 dodging the draft with it. Was on my way to Canada
Ron, your bikes on TH-cam again !!!
Good Stuff man ,,,Keep it up
I bought a 100s in 1977. The color that year was RED and it had the more streamlined valve covers. My paint immediately faded. The dealer was a friend and got me all repainted parts from bmw that never faded again. I just had to send back all the faded stuff back. The bike shown sure looks like a 76????
What town? SAY IT!
Turners Falls, Massachusetts!
@@novamotorcycles thx
What's the price tag on the German cop bike?
Just in for a tune-up, not for sale, but sure is a beauty!
Don't forget having to buy baffle tubes by the dozen! That bike would spit out baffles religiously! 😂
Got 94 GSXR 750w with 2001 Bandit 1200 S motor in it. Rock Solid bike have since 2012 it Morphed into the Hillbilly bandit 1200 A/F. Like the channel got a sub later
I'm looking for a solid mechanic like you in southern CA. Let me know if you have anyone you could recommend. '76 with 10k.
Feel better soon.
Nice job Todd
Wish a fast recovery.
18:55 😂😂👌🏽
how much is a bike like this now a days?
Magnifique
Try to remember what Detroit was producing in '57 & that's the difference between WWII in the US & in England. Gorgeous bike to be sure, but wow....
@@jamesonpace726 as far as cars, yes. But when it comes to bikes, in 57 BSA (and their holdings) was the biggest motorcycle maker in the world. Indian was no longer making bikes and instead re-badging Royal Enfields while Harley was introducing the Sportster. All the other American makers were long gone. Indian was forced to sell English bikes having gone broke trying to develop an english style parallel twin of their own. The sportster was Harley's attempt to compete with the lighter british twins. Brit bikes were on top of the world!
Beautiful
Always liked the “halo” around the headlight on the S models.
Hi, the R90S has stainless steel rims. Cheers 😊
That is awesome!
Interesting,I gotta check out that designer you mentioned, and that bike so attractive and color perfect for that bike .
I have. 75 gl 1000, With 50k. What is the estimate to replace timing belt, static, and other engine maintenance?
@@earlgranado4441 Hi and thanks for the question. We don't discuss business here so feel free to reach out directly to us and we can talk more about your bike!
Wrong tank, correct graphics for a '77.
Why BMW quit making the machine and its variants is still a mystery to me. They sold zillions of them. It did absolutely everything you could possibly ask of a motorcycle and did them beautifully. Its appearance is timeless.
I had a 78 R100RS. I put 264,000 miles on it. I'm a local legend. 🙂
Had a mongrel '72 R75/5 with an '79 R100 motor traded for something or another. Best bike in the world, best years of my life, best times, the usual story....
Great idea - Good Luck with it. 👍✅😎❤️
One of my favorite paint schemes on any motorcycle. Thanks again for sharing
in 2012 i worked at a marina on cape cod and in a back shed was a former employees R90S! he had moved to the Netherlands and nobody knew how to get in touch with the owner. apparently he was not interested in selling. it was torture.
10.3.24. 🤔I believe that Daytona Orange was only used on the 1975-1976 years. What a beautiful bike & the sunny day is superb to showcase the BMW. In the superbike series the BMW far out handled the Japanese bikes that is why they were winning. It wasn’t until the Japanese started learning how to build frames and suspension systems that they took over super bike.
Yes early Japanese handling in the superbike class was very very bad! Also, to be clear this paint is similar but not the same as the R90S orange. There can be only one.
Just got myself a '05 K1200GT, the last incarnation of the 'brick' models. Very smooth, yet also very much an acquired taste.
@@carsyoungtimerfreak1149 We have a 2004 k1200 GT for sale!
Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
Sweet nice skills ride on
And 2-3 hours without one 😅
I worked for a Vespa dealership in the late 70's We had a neat trick for changing the outer cable that ran through the frame.
Do tell!
@novamotorcycles Remove the inner cable from new and old cables . You need an inner cable twice as long + as the old outer cable. Thread the long cable thru both the new and old outer cables. Pull on the inner cable from old end . The new outer cable should fallow the old outer cable thru the chassis. If you need a hand, let me know. I'll stop by .
Riding a hot rod Vespa would make you rethink your life choices.
I have a 1962 YD3 , doing a frame up, fortunately it is mostly complete. I should have it on the road next spring. Are there any other options for 16 inch whitewalls other than Firestones that you know of? Nice job, what paint did you put on the pipes?

Paint the floor with epoxy before you getting in with mashinery and furniture. It will serve you lifetime. Propose light blue, but do it on your own taste
I used balancing beads for motorcycle tires. I mount them at home
The extra weight is what I like about mine. The Maine trails can be rough and rocky. The TL250's weight hold the trail. No bouncing all over the rocks. No sliding. It holds the rock face with its extra weight and takes the bumps for me. I can go most of the day without getting worn out. And, yes, it climbs anything. Nice video. You covered most everything. Sammy included. Thanks.
All hail Japan. People I knew had these in high school. Bad people.
on bigger diesels, the 1693 cat for example the jake brake wasn’t an option because they’re designed for push rod engines only
Holy moley! Feel the thunder. ❤️✅😎👍
I love the 70s 80s muscle bikes
I saw Terry Vance drag racing in New Jersey around 1982.
Those front fork gaiters look even better then the original ones. Are they from an MZ?
Had a 68 BSA A65 back in the day love it
Favorite bike I own
