Posted soon after Tad had spotted the 1985 Honda VF1000R, is this 1986 edition. As Tad noted in the comments, this has the preferred headlight setup. This one has about the same miles at 8,411, but unlike the other, this auction is still live — which means if you missed the first one, you have…
Every time I see a big Kawasaki Zed up for sale I get a flashback to the scene in Spaceballs where they go to Ludicrous Speed. Known as the ZX11 Ninja in the states but the ZZR1100 pretty much everywhere else, the big Zed was a “hyper-tourer”, a battle tank of a machine with…
Note: We’ve seen this one before, but it’s been a couple years and Tad has a fresh perspective to consider. -dc We generally try to stay away from modified machines at this site, but this GSX-750R LE is exactly the type of motorcycle I love: a bike that shows evolutionary change, a gradual improvement to…
We’ve seen an unusual number of never ridden Ducati’s this week, and here’s another to add to the pile: A 1985 Ducati F1 750 available in Australia. This one could’ve benefit from a detailing before the pictures were taken, but you can clearly note how shiny the paint is nonetheless. The signals are hanging from…

This hulking brute has the monoshock rear and fully-faired look of those later bikes, but…
To go along with the 1993 Ducati Superlight posted earlier this week, here is a 1993 Kawasaki Ninja ZX7 located in central Texas. The fashion/color schemes from the early 90’s seem to be back in vogue, with people again wearing clothes with almost fluorescent level green, pink and blue hues. Early 1990’s sportbikes bikes were…
Following the even lower miles Ducati 851 we posted the other day, here is another virtually unused Ducati superbike. This one is typically even lower on the desirability scale than even the 851, especially since it’s not the uprated S model. But with just 60 miles on the clock and the reserve met at a…
Update 12.18.2014: The seller has added more information on this bike, enough to refresh our post. The listing ends, coincidentally, on Christmas day. Happy Holidays to buyers and seller! -dc Wow. Well, I’m not even sure where to begin with this one: a full-factory Aprilia RSV4 Superbike. From the specification, to the upgrades, to the…
