Today Dennis from Denmark forwards us this modern sportbike legend, the the Yamaha OW01 homogolation special. Produced in limited numbers it featured a very peaky 5 valve 750cc engine that breathed through huge flat-slide carbs and was mated to a close ratio gearbox. Ohlins rear shock and fully adjustable suspension up front made it one…
I haven’t seen an RVF750 available in a while and as usual when looking for exotics, eBay.uk delivers. This one looks very tidy and has actually seen road use with 20k miles on the clock. The description is thin but the pictures show a bike that has been kept pretty original except for the frame…
Nope, that is not a misprint. The 999R has 27,548 miles and the Desmosidici has an astounding 18,879! For once we can report on limited edition Ducati’s that weren’t living room displays but rather ridden as they should be, and often. Plus they’ve been maintained so there is some piece of mind that they are…
Today we have a sharp and well sorted Ducati Supersport. This one has covered just over 10k miles and wears the black bodywork over the white frame. These aren’t special editions just uncommon as everyone wanted a red one at the time. It has an open clutch cover and Staintune exhaust, ensuring this one sounds…
Readers of this website are no doubt familiar with the game changing 86 Suzuki GSX-R 1100. What we don’t normally see is a bike this original and clean. It still has the original tires, warning decals, and is overall so clean you could swear it was still the late 80’s. The seller details the repair…
Ducati Sport Classics are seemingly already beyond the bottom of their depreciation curve, and in many cases on the upswing for very well kept examples. And no wonder, they’re great looking modern retro rides. I still recall the Ducati demo day and riding one. If memory serves prices ranged from $12-16k ish? Yet hit up…
I remember sitting on one of these at the Seattle motorcycle show when they debuted. While obviously small, the total lack of weight is really what I recall the most. That and the beautifully sculpted swingarm and frame. Like most I was disappointed that although it looked street legal, it wasn’t. It was delivered with…
We haven’t had the pleasure of a 250 smoker in a little while and this 94 VJ22 should fit the bill. It’s advertised as never down and the bodywork, signals, mud guards, etc. are still in place too. And of course the best piece of all, the small metal plate just below the stop lights.…
