Zero-Mile 2006 Kawasaki ZZR600 Hits Market at No Reserve
⚡️ Read the full article on Motorious A rare, zero-mile 2006 Kawasaki ZZR600 has surfaced for sale, offering collectors and enthusiasts a unique opportunity to own an untouched example of the high-performance sportbike. Recently acquired by the selling dealer, this ZZR600 remains in factory-original condition, with an odometer reading of zero miles. Finished in Galaxy Silver, the fully faired motorcycle features an aluminum twin-spar frame, integrated windscreen, fairing-mounted mirrors, and a 4.8-gallon fuel tank. Additional design elements include two-up seating, rear grab handles, and tail-section storage. Powering the ZZR600 is a 599cc DOHC inline-four engine, factory-rated at 99 horsepower and 47 lb-ft of torque. The engine is equipped with four Mikuni 36mm carburetors, a 16-valve cylinder head, Kawasaki's Twin Ram Air Induction system, and a four-into-one exhaust system. A six-speed transmission and chain final drive complete the powertrain, ensuring high-revving performance and smooth power delivery. The sportbike rides on 17-inch three-spoke alloy wheels wrapped in period-correct Dunlop Sportmax D207 tires. Adjustable suspension consists of a 46mm cartridge-style fork up front and a piggyback-reservoir monoshock linked to the aluminum swingarm. Braking power is provided by dual six-piston calipers gripping 300mm front rotors and a single-piston caliper with a 220mm rear rotor. Instrumentation includes a 180-mph speedometer, a 16,000-rpm tachometer, and an inset coolant-temperature display, all mounted above the clip-on handlebars. While the bike remains in unused condition, minor imperfections such as a cracked left-front turn signal and a scrape on the generator cover are noted. Now offered at no reserve with a clean Arizona title, this 2006 Kawasaki ZZR600 presents a rare chance to acquire a brand-new example of one of Kawasaki's most well-regarded mid-weight sportbikes.

The 7 Most Expensive Motorcycles in the World in 2025
The average motorcycle can cost a motor biking enthusiast anything from $5,000 to $20,000 to ride a new bike off the lot. This might seem like a lot of money, but it's still a far cheaper price range than what one would pay for most new cars. That said, there are a number of motorcycles that cost — wait for it — well over $1 million. For You: Trending Now: That's right, two wheels and an engine within a sleek body can cost millions upon millions of dollars. How? According to the information site Jagran Josh, the wallet-busting costs are mostly due to highly limited model runs and exclusive designs, cost-prohibitive technology too pricey for mass production and good old-fashioned historical significance. Also here are four motorcycles that maintain value and 3 that depreciate quickly. Price: $11 million This bad boy was initially priced at a shocking $110,000 before speeding to an almost-unbelievable $11 million at auction, all thanks to a wildly singular frame that is made from a single piece of metal built around a 120ci V-twin engine. Check Out: Price: $7 million This 1949 iteration of the Porcupine only produced four units, renowned for their lightweight frame made of aluminum (allowing it to excel in the Grand Prix racing circuit). That incredible rarity, mixed with powerful speed (thanks to a 500-cc DOHC twin engine), makes the Porcupine not just legendary, but extremely, extremely expensive. Price: $3.6 million A 'hyperbike,' the Ecosse ES1 Spirit can breeze past speeds over 200 mph due to its lightweight nature (256 pounds because of its carbon-fiber body) and its 1000 cc four cylinder in-line engine. That level of innovation, mixed with an overall rarity, allow the Ecosse a seven-figure price tag. Price: $3.5 million The Hildebrand & Wolfmuller was made in 1984, making it the first-ever production motorcycle — which almost makes an extraordinarily significant piece of antiquity and automotive history. Price: $3 million The seven-figure asking price of the BMS Nehmesis comes as no surprise — this is motorcycle that is literally coated with 24-karat gold and is loaded with an ultra-powerful 1700 cc engine. Price: $1.5 million Not just a motorcycle but a work of art, the Cosmic Starship is hand-painted by the artist Jack Armstrong for a one-of-a-kind design. Price: $550,000 The Tomahawk is the only motorcycle on this list not to crack the $1 million mark, but it's still incredibly expensive because of its extremely limited production, powerful V10 engine from a Dodge Viper and a hyper-futuristic (and non-street legal) body design.

2026 Honda Passport Muscles Its Way Into Dealerships With A Starting MSRP Of $46,200
The 2026 Honda Passport TrailSport is rock-climbing its way to dealers this week and, with an MRSP of $49,900, the off-roader trim turns this formerly mild-mannered grocery-getter into a vehicle fit for the wilderness. The base 2026 Passport starts at $46,200 including destination, a couple grand more than the outgoing model. The original Passport was a body-on-frame SUV that was basically a Isuzu Rodeo with an H on the front, and the nameplate was brought back in 2019 as a unibody job sharing a platform with the Pilot. This configuration made it a family-friendly hauler, but Honda fans missed the rugged and capable vehicle of the rip-roaring '90s. Honda stuck a off-road-oriented TrailSport trim on to the current Passport, but it's not really up to the task of carving its own path. Well, distraught Honda heads rejoice! The fully redesigned Passport is hitting dealer lots Tuesday, and it not only does it look like the best car from Honda in a while, its upgraded TrailSport trim looks like it might just live up to the off-road bona fides. The crossover is brand new from the ground up, starting with a new engine. Honda stuck an aluminum 24-valve DOHC 3.5-liter V6 engine into the Passport, for a slight boost to 285 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. Every Passport gets Honda's i-VTM4 all-wheel drive system, and a 10-speed automatic transmission over last year's 9-speed. The 2026 Passport comes in three trims — RTL, Trailsport and TrailSport Elite — with a few optional packages you can throw in there. You get a bigger 12.3-inch center touchscreen starting with the baseline RTL (of course) and slightly more legroom in back than the last generation. There's heated seats and tons of places to stash your stuff, including those all important 10 cupholders designed to take 32-ounce bottles. A new tow package is available for an extra $700, or you could spend a little more to look a little cooler go with the Blackout Package for $1,200. Every Passport, regardless of trims, comes with a huge suite of driver assistance systems. But it's clear this new Passport was designed with off-roading first and foremost in mind. The TrailSport is where things really get interesting, with reinforced steel skid plates, off-road tuned suspension, front and rear recovery points and specially developed all-terrain tires with sunken valve systems just for the TrailSport trims. A heated windshield is standard (fancy) as well as a heated steering wheel. If you're really serious about getting down and dirty with your Passport, the TrailSport Elite trim is the way to go. It gives you Honda's new TrailWatch camera system standard, offering four views to help drivers navigate rough terrain and animations showing drivers exactly where their tires are. The TrailSport Elite trim also gets you a really dope stereo with 12-speaker Bose premium, so you can rock out while driving on rocks. Both trims come with an off-roader's favorite thing: plenty of branded accessories. The 2026 Honda Passport RTL starts at $46,200 including the $1,450 destination charge, $2,350 more than the outgoing 2025 Passport EX-L. The Passport TrailSport sees a slight bump from $46,450 to $49,900 for the new generation, but it seems worth the cost considering the upgrades turned it into a vehicle you can actually off road. If you absolutely need the fanciest trimmings,the TrailSport Elite will set you back $53,900. For the latest news, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
