Mike's Bikes

 Michael A Wong's Motorcycles

YAMAHA 60 c. 1968
What can I say? My first. 

YAMAHA 100 Trailmaster  c. 1968
This is the same bike I bought from Ira Dahm, only mine was yellow.

YAMAHA 180 c. 1970
As with all of my bikes, this one was especially fast. Note the custom-made chrome twin expansion chambers. I beat most of the big 350 Hondas of the day.

KAWASAKI 500 MACH III c. 1970

It would turn 12.5 seconds out of the box. Never got any tickets on this one - they couldn't catch me. The front end wouldn't stay down. The older I get, the faster I was. Photo taken in Mazatlán, Mexico with Kurt Moseley. 

KAWI '71
That's me chanting to the sun god (actually pushing my hair back), and Bill Koppler playing god. Kurt Moseley clicked the camera. That's his MG in the background. Note the plastic pot plant next to my front wheel. This was shot on Serena street in Linda Mar. Man, I miss those pants! 

HONDA 550-4 c. 1977

My tour bike. Gary Kellogg and I did an epic journey into WA loaded down with backpacks to climb in the Olympics. This bike was horribly slow, but always reliable.

 

 

HONDA V-30 c.1984

I loved this bike, it was fast.Had the smoothest gear box I ever felt. V4, an expensive way to build a motor. Man, I wish I still had this one. 

HONDA CB 1400 c. 1990

This bike can out-handle almost any bike on the road. It has gear-driven cams, 41 mm forks with big springs, carbs are jetted and breathe completely freely, open pipes, relines at 13'500 rpm, wide sticky tires, radar detector, stops and turns on a dime, and is my favorite color.

Honda 599 a.k.a. Hornet  c. 2010

The Honda 599 (known globally as the CB600F Hornet). Powerful machine, and fast.  I used it mostly for fun, but also for occasional commuting.  I sold it when I thought I should "downsize" for when I retired. 

KAWASAKI 400 Ninja  c.2019

 This was my first "retirement" bike, downsizing the power (but not the fun). 

HONDA CB300R c. 2026

I was intrigued by this sport bike's light weight (curb weight: 316 pounds) and unique style. Only 300 cc, my lightest bike yet. This is a 2024 model, but never used, off the show room. I am considering this my "retirement" bike - until further notice.
