Rare SportBikes For Sale

This is a GSX-R600 in fantastic, original, condition with only 5,000 original miles!  Located in Spokane, Washington is a 1992 Suzuki GSX-R600.  This bike still has all of the original warning and specification stickers, and has an extensive service history from a local shop.

“…tires suck (not completely worn out, but are checked and a lil’ slippery – i’d replace them (but powder coat rims 1st, as there are a few small blemishes on them); front wheel bearing is going out; petcock likes to remain on ‘reserve’ – don’t ask.”

I love the look and condition of this bike.  If I didn’t care what my girlfriend said, and I thought very seriously about doing it, this would be in my possession.  This is the first year for the GSX-R600 and is basically a sleeved-down GSX-R750.  The original problem with this bike was that it only had 600cc power but had haul around a 750cc bike.  However, the draw was also that it had the scream of a 400 but, the comfort of a 750–giving Suzuki some access to the largest segment of American sportbike buyers.  This early 600 also had all of the technical benefits (Suspension/Brakes) of the larger displacement bike.  The majority of these bikes were either tracked or dropped at some point and haven’t made it through in this condition.  The asking price is $2,700 and the seller seems very motivated.  Being in Spokane, this bike is six-hours from any other major city, giving the buyer a large amount of power.  This bike isn’t worth as much as a CBR600F2 in equivalent condition and never will be, so don’t plan on buying it as an investment.  Regardless, this would make a very enjoyable weekend rider or a nice garage piece.  See the bike on PNWRiders.com here.

1986 Suzuki GSX-R750 and 2005 Suzuki GSX-R750 limited editions for sale in Canada.

While I’m the resident Bimota freak at RSBFS, I do have a soft spot for limited editions and homologation specials such as the Yamaha OW02 YZF-R7, the Honda RC30, and the Suzuki GSX-R750 Ltd and GSX-R750RKs.  So when I came across this pair of GSX-R750 Ltds, I just had to post it immediately for our readers:

I’m thinking of selling my LTD 750 since I don’t ride it and don’t have time for it ? 22,000 kms aprox 12K miles great shape, BONE STOCK !(except for windshield) every safety decal is still on there and reflectors as well.Asking price is $10,000.00 CDN

Just picked up a 2005 GSX-R LTD 750 , will sell it along side with the 86 for an extra 4K

Wow – $14,000 CDN for A PAIR of GSX-R750 Ltds?!  That’s got to be one of the best bargain that I have seen in a while! Note to self: have to play more lotto numbers!!

Oh, click here to see on the ad on Ducati.ms (yes, Suzuki’s for sale on a Ducati forum!)

I haven’t see this website before but, Motorcycles For Sale Classic, is apparently a broker for a collection of motorcycles out of New Jersey.  It looks to have been recently updated but has some obvious errors–make sure to contact the seller by phone to confirm anything on their site.  Anyhow, these are some of the bikes that are still available that I found interesting:

• 1977 MV Agusta 850SS with 1,791 original miles.
• 1977 Ducati 900SS with 2,500 original miles.
• 1986 Suzuki GSX-R750 Limited Edition with 2,358 original miles (Vance & Hines exhaust fitted).
• 1985 Suzuki RG500 with 385 original miles.
• Yamaha TZR250 with 22,245 miles.
• 1984 Yamaha RD500 with 31,600 miles.
• A second Yamaha RD500 with less miles.
• Aprilia RS250 with 610 original miles.
• 1995 Cagiva Mito.

These aren’t all the bikes listed on the site–and more appear in the background of photos–but again, I would caution anyone against acting too quickly.  The website listed features errors and older dates but, I haven’t seen these photos featured anywhere else and they all look to be correct and from the same location.  Titles and registration isn’t mentioned and only a few bikes have asking prices.  Regardless, take a look at the site as it may be an undiscovered mine!

This is one of those moments in your life that you may never experience again. For me it is one of those things that you think may be out there somewhere, but are just unsure until you see it. All I can say is “WOW, Absolutely Amazing!” Can you believe these are being offered for sale? Can you believe they even exist in this condition? I think it is awesome that they are being offered to the public and not to Barber or kept closed in private circles. Anyone care to guess what the reserve is?

From the seller:

YOU KNOW WHAT THESE ARE, SO I WON’T GET TOO MUCH INTO DETAILS.

THE 1986 LIMITED HAS 10.5 MILES AND IS IN “AS NEW” CONDITION, ORIGINAL OWNER RODE IT 10.5 MILES AND PARKED IT. IT IS 99% PERFECT, MINUS 1% FOR SOME TARNISH ON SOME OF THE HARDWARE. THE BIKE HAS A CLEAR US TITLE.

THE 1989 HAS 5.2 MILES AND IS IN “AS NEW” CONDITION, BIKE IS 100% PERFECT, HAVING ALWAYS BEEN STORED INSIDE & HEATED. THE BIKE HAS A BILL OF SALE ONLY AS IT WAS A JAPAN ONLY MODEL

These are already rare bikes, but to throw the “as new, 15 miles total” into the mix puts them in a whole new level of collectible RSBFS.

We’ve posted a couple of 86′ GSX-R LE’s recently, but the only differences between regular and LE GSX-R’s were a dry clutch and solo seat tail section. However, the RR version had numerous differences, but they were never brought to the US. Some of the differences included, but aren’t limited to, 40mm Slingshot Carbs, close ratio gear box, single seat and an aluminum gas tank. Personally, I’m digging the red number plate on the tail section. I’m going to keep an close eye on the auction and I’ll let everyone know how it ends.

Cheers!

This is the second LE that I’ve had the pleasure of posting on RareSportBikesForSale.com. Even by today’s standards these are still good-looking rides. In my opinion, this one seems to be in better shape than the first one. Give it a look and see what you think.

Seller says:

Here is an extremely rare and clean example of a 1986 Suzuki GSXR750RG. Roughly 500 were brought into the US and most were, well…crashed. This one, however, was not. There are 5452 original miles and runs fantastic. Installed were

*Tecnomagnesio/Yoshimura magnesium wheels

*Fox Twin Clicker rear shock

*Steel braided brake lines

*Brand new Michelin Pilot Road tires

It will also come with the original wheels and exhaust. Be the envy of any bike night.

These were equipped with a dry clutch, racier graphics and plastics and badged as “LE” here in the states. The rest of the world received Flat Slide Carbs.

This is a fine example and should make a great addition to any Suzuki collection. The eBay auction was up to $5,600.00 with the reserve still on. My guess is that it will take something in the 7’s to put this one in your garage.

I know these aren’t exactly rare by production numbers, but it definitely falls into the ‘most of them are gone’ category. Check out this really nice looking 86 GSX-R 750 For Sale on Craigslist for $5900:

quote from the listing:

The original “race replica”! The father of ALL sport bikes!
Excellent condition/Mechanically PERFECT!/Low miles/Clean title.
Performance mods./New battery/Virtually new Michelin Pilots.
Comes with front and rear stands, battery tender, dust cover,
rain cover, and old (but still funtional) matching helmet.
Seat cowling removable for passenger. Have owned since 1991.

The price would suggest that it’s very nice indeed. Certainly worth a look if you’ve been waiting, and at that price it should be pretty clean.

Thanks for the tip Chris!

This is probably the first, of what we know as sportbikes today, homologation model produced.  This one is for sale on

If my memory serves me correctly, about the only differences between the LE and the regular US version is the dry clutch, LE graphics and the solo seat tail section.  The European versions received Flat Side Carbs for this year. 
 

THIS ONE ONLY HAS 4400 MILES AND IS IN GREAT SHAPE FOR ITS YEAR. PAINT IS ALL ORIGINAL WITH A FEW MINOR BLEMISHES BUT NO CRACKS WHAT SO EVER. 

COMES WITH FACTORY MUFFLER AND YOSH SYSTEM.

The seller states that this bike has Dymag Magnesium wheels and if that is the case all of my research says they aren’t OEM.  If anyone has information regarding this let me know and I’ll update the post. 

These early GSXR’s had a whopping 106hp and used 18″ rims on both the front and rear.  One fun fact is the FZR 400’s used the exact same tire size (even larger than the same year FZR 1000’s, but I’ll save that tid bit for another post).  This one looks to be in great shape and is located in Swansea, Massachusetts.  I know these have a huge cult following so I am anxious to see what it sells for.

I know, I know not a super rare find, but an extremely clean, low mileage classic liter bike.  I appreciate a bike that has been well maintained and taken care of as much as I do the super rare ones.  Of course I can only appreciate them because I am a freak about cleaning and maintaining my own scoots. 

 Looks to be in really nice shape and well taken care of.  This gem is located in Texas and would make for a great conversation piece at your local bike night.
 

1992 GSXR1100 that has not been raced, Wreck, Dropped, or painted. This bike has been garaged kept its whole life and is in great shape.

The bike does not have any damage other then a few MINOR nicks from the road here and there but is a 9 out of 10 for sure. Runs and drives perfect.

 
The only modification I can see is the tail end is delete of the stock mud flap.  It has an aftermarket exhaust as well, but is not pictured due to being taken off for polishing.  In my area of the world, most sportbikes bottom out around 3,000 to 3,500 regardless of age or size, so for me a super clean 1992 GSXR 1100 at $2,800 is a steal!

First up is a 1986 Suzuki RG500 GAMMA for sale on Columbus, Ohio Craigslist for $10500 (20k miles):

Never imported directly. 500cc four cylinder 2-stroke – it is the road going version of Suzuki’s class dominating GP bike of the late 70’s. 100HP in a 300# package – you do the math = FAST and fun. Although I hate to see it go, I need to make space in the garage and I really don’t have time to ride this awesome piece of machinery any more. The bike is in excellent condition. It does need a battery. And the reg. is expired.

And finally a nice and original looking 1990 GSX-R 750 for only $2500 (15k miles, Fontana, California):
