The RS250 Challenge was the only version Aprilia ever offered U.S. customers, and as you can see it was a track ready version without headlights, signals, and other road amenities. The Challenge was made for a one make race series that followed the AMA calendar. I remember being at Sears Point and seeing one brand…
1995 Ducati 916 on eBay We all remember the first time we saw one.. in print, in person, online… The Ducati 916 made us all stop and stare. It made us all think that maybe form is more important than function. I mean, if it looks this good, who even cares how it rides, right? …

The numbered edition ( all U.S imports were speed yellow ) is a more pure Ducati, with steering stabilizer, upswept exhaust, no passenger seat…
1993 Ducati 900SS Superlight on eBay The 900SS falls right in the middle of an interesting period for Ducati. The SS was subject to years of continuing refinement rather than any dramatic changes, however they were very capable machines by the end.
