If you have some of these you’re lucky! If you all of these you’ve probably got a key to Bill Aucoin’s secret warehouse or are Gene Simmons...
If you find any of these lying around in your attic, I’ll be happy to take them off your hands for you :)
In no particular order...

1978, HONDA
Fact: So rare, that except for shots for this poster, I've never actually seen a photo of one. Apparently the posters were printed but the bikes never went into production. (Rumours persist that Gene gave one to Cher while they were dating). On a side note: Was this the first time Paul & Gene became the face of KISS without the other two?
