Rare SportBikes For Sale

This RZ500 has some very nice modern updates!  Located in Boynton Beach, Florida is a 1985 Yamaha RZ500.  What’s better than dropping a two-stroke motor in a modern chassis?  Well, this seller found out that it can be very nice to use modern components while maintaining the look of a classic bike.  This RZ has been fitted with modern bits in the form of a 2009 R6 front end (Blue fender is still attached), R6 rear wheel, and Aprilia rear swing arm.  Other improvements include Hyperpro rear shock and Jim Lomas SS exhaust.  All the original parts are also included with the sale.  The bike also has new paint.  Not only does this bike look like a 500GP bike with that rear swing arm, I bet it rides beautifully too.  The seller states that more than $25,000 has gone into this bike and I don’t doubt that number if this work was done in a shop.  The asking price is $14,000; about where we’ve seen low mile, completely original, bikes priced.  This bike isn’t original but it is designed for an owner who will use their RZ on back roads more than at bike nights.  If you’d like to ride a modernized big two-stroke, see this RZ on Craigslist here.

1995 Aprilia RS 250 Loris Reggiani replica for sale on the OC CL for $8,300.00 with Cali title and registration.

This one should be in great shape having only 4300 miles on the odometer. This RS is sitting in the same garage as a the 1991 RGV 250 that Alex posted back on February 3rd; which by the way is still for sale. Now, the owner has told me that he is only going to sell one of his babies. So which one do you want to take off his hands?? The owner has done something interesting in that he has removed the lower fairings to better preserve them. As you will see in the pictures they are removed and leaning against the wall. If I had the extra scratch burning a hole in my pocket I’d pick up the Aprilia and leave the Suzuki. We’ve had a few Reggiani’s posted on RSBFS and this seems to be right in line on pricing. I posted a regular RS a few days ago for this exact same price and it sold in 48 hours.

Quotes from the seller:

Rare Aprilia 2-stroke V2 with a California title and current registration. Low miles (4300) and runs very strong. Good sticky tires and ready to ride. The fairing is in very good shape but has been removed to preserve it, attract less attention, and better tolerate santa ana side winds. At over 70 HP and under 300 pounds, this bike has amazing speed and handling. Missing rear seat and leaky forks but otherwise excellent condition.

So it looks like a set of fork seals and a trip to ebay for seat and you would have a super nice RS. With spring just around the corner, the possibility of someone buying the Suzuki and taking this one off the market you’d better not delay if your in the market. You can contact the seller here.

Cheers!

This is a one owner Haga replica with only 362 miles!  Located in Fowlerville, Michigan is a 2003 Aprilia RSV Mille R Nori Haga replica.  This one has been posted for a couple days but I was waiting for the seller to post pictures to share it with you all.  Only 300 of these were produced worldwide with 60 coming to America.  These replicas came with not only the WSB Haga replica scheme but also:  Blue Ergal tripple clamp with Haga’s signature, production number, and WSB text, Akrapovic titanium exhaust with SS collectors and EPROM map, ten additional hp, 6.6lb weight loss (with Akrapovic system fitted) and all the standard features of the Mille R variant.  This bike comes with the standard exhaust and the Akrapovic system.  The seller doesn’t state much other than the bike is in flawless condition and has always been kept in a heated garage.  The pictures seem to easily agree with this claim.  The asking price appears to be all of $16,500.  If this Haga replica has you jonesing, see the bike on the ApriliaForum.com here.

1999 Aprilia RS 250 with a very nice looking paint job, priced at a mere $4,000.00 and located in Fairfield, CT. I must say that I am very impressed the quality paint work on this machine. Being an ex-racer I’d say the majority of regional race machines are spray bombed to match factory colors to be eligible for contingency money, but this one is different. From the looks of it this racer took a little bit of pride in his machine and actually had a plan before spraying it. It sort of reminds me of the Cabin Honda teams of the all Japan Super Bike Series.

We’ve had several RS’s up over the past few weeks that ranged from race bikes to street bikes. And of course, I like them all . The seller doesn’t give much info about their bike other than it is reliable and starts with a couple of kicks. I typically like a little more history or information about bikes, but this time I’m out of luck.

The bike is in good condition,
The bike has all stock parts only . Bike is very reliable always starts with a couple of kicks.

2000 Aprilia RS 250 with only 2,551 on the clock and listed as a no reserve auction!!!

Current bid is $6,100.00 with 4 days left on the auction. I posted a RS last Saturday and it sold within 48 hours for around $8,000.00. So at $6,100.00 this one is a steal considering it has super low miles. This is an original owner Aprilia Cup bike that was never raced or tracked. There is an interesting story behind this bike in how it became street legal.

Here it is in the owners own words:

The bike was originally a cup bike but when I got the title back from DMV they had given me a street title by mistake. So, I put a set of brake lights on it, got a street cowl with headlights and mirrors and have been riding it that way ever since.

Now, I’m a little confused by what the seller says next.

Bike will come with street wiring, the original cowl and a street tail section.

I’m a little confused by the fact that there is a street wiring harness that isn’t installed on the bike nor is the OEM street tail section that is in included. The tail section on the bike appears to have turn signals, but no brake light. So in my mind this begs the question “do the lights actually work or are they just filling a need for the bike to be legal on the street?” Either way the bike looks to be in excellent shape and has all the stock parts. This is a dream come true for anyone looking at a RS. Why is that you may ask? Plain and simple this is a one owner, low mileage and streetable RS. The price is right and the owner has his phone number listed on the auction site for any questions that you have.

Here are the pictures with more on the auction for you to look at.

I like this one as much as any RS that we’ve posted on RSBFS. I think it has a lot to offer and for once it’s located on the right side of America Like I mentioned before the last RS we posted sold in 48 hours so if your interested you better get in the mix sooner than later. You can check out more pictures and .

Cheers!

The wording in the ad leads me to believe this to be a titled and registered Cup bike!  Located in Ackworth, Georgia is a 1999 Aprilia RS250 that was originally an Aprilia Cup bike.  These have become a mainstay at RSBFS as they are a fabulous, modern, two-stroke twins that are sometimes often enough street registered.  The seller of this specific example states that it has a headlight and taillight; he doesn’t state whether it has a title, or is registered, but my thinking is that it possibly is as there is no other reason to put those on a track machine!  The other possible indicator is that–regardless of aftermarket goodies–this bike is priced at $5,000; putting it somewhere between a pure cup bike and a titled, very original, road machine.  The seller states that the accessories on this bike are:  Woodcraft Rear sets, SS brake lines, 1/4 turn Domino throttle, three RGV250 cylinders & heads, transmission, power valves, Penske rear shock, Tyga SS exhaust–and completely unrelated, a titled RSV Mille frame.

If you’re interested in a possible street bike–I would lean towards it probably isn’t though–see the ad on ApriliaForum.com here.

This is a street legal 2009 Aprilia RS125 located in Tucson, Arizona and priced very nicely.  The 2009 Aprilia RS125 was the ultimate two stroke tease; as always, available in Europe as a street bike, the latest in Aprilia two stroke and frame technology, and Aprilia then had the audacity to bring them to U.S. showrooms for us to drool over!  These come to the U.S. with a VIN plate that clearly says for off-road use only, and a title that reiterates that fact however, physically, they are only missing the European wiring harness,  license plate mount, front & rear turn signals, and I believe headlight bulbs to be operationally street legal.  The wiring harness and the title have always been the toughest things to get.  When they were first imported in early 2009 the Euro harnesses were essentially unobtainable unless you knew someone who could purchase and ship one from Europe/U.K.  now they are easily available from AF1 Racing and other sites for around $480.  As everyone knows though, it’s the title that is the problem.  This brings us to this bike, it has the harness–however in the photos it isn’t shown to have turn signals–and was titled and registered from new!  The asking price is $5,000; making it appear that these bikes have begun to depreciate as the street titled ones used to carry an understandable premium over the stock bikes, the price of this current bike is under the original MSRP of the off-road only bikes.  The local Aprilia/Ducati still has–from what I saw–three of these in stock so dealers obviously aren’t sold out of these.  So, to sum it all up, the 2009 RS125s appear to finally be depreciating–including the registered ones–so if you’d like a discounted, street legal, Aprilia RS125; see the ad on NorthAmericanTwoStrokes.com here.  Also, see the bike on WERA here.
