1994 Honda NSR 250R MC28 SE

Location: New Zealand
Mileage: 25,000km
Price: $5,500.00 (about)

All you guys looking to sell your RSB’s take note of this listing and the quality of the pictures. This is how it’s done….

RSBFS viewer, Tom from New Zealand, is letting go of his stunning Honda NSR250se. Tom has done a superior job of accessorizing it with a few choice bits from Tyga (I’m going to give a shameless plug now).

Ever since I’ve become interested in 2 strokes I’ve noticed a lot of strange part manufacturer names along the way. In talking to any 2 stroke guy they are sure to tell you who they “use” for upgraded parts. Tyga seems to rank high on everyone’s list and after a quick view of their website it became very clear as to why this is. I spent countless hours flipping through their pages of parts and offerings. Much to my surprise they even offer a lot of items for 4 strokes. My favorite item is an exhaust they call “The Moto Maggot” It sounds wicked and if by chance Paul or any of the other guys at Tyga read RSBFS and want to let me give the Moto Maggot a test run and review you can contact me through this posting. Thanks in advance

Okay, back to Tom’s NSR-

Oh wait a minute.. that is more of my shameless plug for Tyga, but it looks pretty damned nice on Tom’s bike. Don’t you agree?

From the listing:

If you’ve found your way to this listing you probably already know what you’re looking at. If not, this is a 249cc, 90 degree v-twin two stroke race rep with adjustable suspension, dry clutch, single side swingarm, PGMIV credit card ignition. I have owned this bike since December last year and in that time have put about 9,000 km on the clock. I have done a lot of work to this bike and have de-restricted it using TYGA Performance parts.

- Replaced battery with a gel type (no maintenance)
- New DID gold chain
- Replaced steering stem bearing
- Fitted stainless steel TYGA expansion chambers and silencers
- Fitted TYGA reed blocks and valves
- Fitted an MC21 flywheel
- Fitted TYGA fork caps
- Fitted MC21 exhaust hangers
- Fitted TYGA titanium levers
- Fitted TYGA carbon meter surround and carbon radiator shrouds
- Rebuilt clutch with new fibre plates and heavy duty springs
- Replaced lots of fasteners and rubber bushes
- Fitted TYGA screen
- Lots of spare parts

That is quite a laundry list and as I stated before, the bike looks SICK! I’m guessing this little gem wouldn’t last long at all in the states because at this price he’d be giving it away. Tom was gracious enough to make a few video’s of his NSR so make sure you scroll down and check them out.

You can view Tom’s listing here.

Does anyone have a contact that can import bike parts from down under? I need to get a quote and fast!

I almost forgot that I wanted to point out one of the pictures.

Aren’t you envious of Tom for getting to ride his NSR back home?

Good luck with the sale Tom!

Cheers!

This VF1000F has extremely low miles and has been with the current owner since July of ’86!

Bike:  1985 Honda VF1000F Interceptor

Location:  Staten Island, New York

Mileage:  1,076

The seller doesn’t state much other than that they have been in possession of this bike since July of 1986 and that it is “…perfect in every way…”  Pretty bike words but, this bike looks to be in fantastic condition so, I’ll have to take the sellers word for it!

This is the first year for the VF1000F but, has always been overshadowed by the VF1000R that was also released the same year.  The R featured six more horsepower and numerous special bits but, also cost roughly 50% more than the VF1000F seen here.  The F model is still a fantastic bike and very usable but, where this example positions itself (As a collectors item), it’ll be interesting to see where the value of this bike is in ten or twenty years.  If you’d love to have a first year example of a 1000F with very low miles to round out your V-Four collection, see this bike on eBay .

This is a fantastic looking NF4 RS125 on eBay!

Bike:  1993 Honda RS125

Location:  Lexington, Kentucky

This RS125 looks to be in very good condition being finished in a “House Of Color” (Kolor) candy blue scheme with silver Honda wings.  This RS hasn’t been run in at least three years but, was run at Daytona in 2005.  The spares included with this bike include an extra cylinder, plugs, sprockets, rings, fork seals, gaskets, clutch plates and some other items.

Because it’s been sitting for so long, and these bikes are so simple, I would suggest going through it before running it just to be sure everything is as it should be.  I think I’ve said it before but, these NF4 RS’s aren’t competitive with the ’95+ NX4 RS’s.  However, these bikes are less temperamental than the later bikes and make fantastic track day bikes or vintage machines if you have a sanctioning body that has a separate class for them.  The ’93 bikes wear the same front tire as the newer bikes but, have a smaller rear wheel (By a 1/2″).  Tires can still be easily sourced and I’ve actually been told that the larger size will fit on the narrower rim–however, I have no idea how that alters the handling.  These bikes are perfect if you want to play a Gran Prix legend on a budget.  Based on the condition and spares, I would expect to see this bike go for right around $2,500.  See other RS125s we’ve featured here.  See this RS on eBay .

1990 Honda RC30 VFR750R for sale

Location: LA, CA
Mileage: 1278
Price: 26,000

Holy Cow Bartman! This is the 3rd RC30 this week! Must a be a liquidation sale going on in Cali. This one is said to only have 1,278 miles on it and once again the pictures are less than adequate for the machine. This is for sure one of the lowest mileage RC’s we’ve seen in recent months, so if you have an extra 26g’s burning a whole in your front pocket this would be a great way to get rid of it.

Have a look:

This one is priced a few pennies higher than the previous two, but the low mileage should cover the spread.

Cheers!

1997 HONDA CBR 400 RR FIREBLADE Titled!

Location: Spring Branch, TX
Price: $7,900.00
Mileage: 17,317

These are some of the hardest 400′s to come by in the states. We have featured more VFR400 and RVF400′s than CBR400′s. You want to be the talk of your next Hooter’s Bike Night? Pull up on this one and make sure you have a bottle of water with you because you’ll be dry from all of the gum flapping you’ll be doing.

They are very rare in the US and even more so in this condition.

Recently been serviced, NEW Two Brothers Racing full exhaust system ($900 USD).

Has always been garaged, never raced, adult owned and is in excellent condition! She starts, runs and rides great! Everything works – idles smooth and runs strong. This bike always draws a crowd. I’m constantly asked if it is a current model and love watching people’s jaw drop when I tell them its a 97 model! I know I’m going to regret selling it…

When these CBR’s were available, they had all the features of a big CBR just in a smaller package. They feature a DOHC, four valve per cylinder, transverse four cylinder, four stroke, producing 53hp and rev’ing to 14,500rpm. An aluminum frame kept weight down to 163kg and they featured a Showa adjustable rear shock and flat-side carb’s . This bike is exotic to us American’s featuring the dependability of a Honda four-stroke.

1990 Honda RC30 VFR750R

Location: LA, CA
Price: 22,000
Mileage: Low(!)

It never ceases to amaze me how owners of such rare bikes don’t take the time or put little, if any, effort in to selling them. Point in case is today’s CL find.

Have a look:

Low mileage CA bike, one owner, ready to ride. Low serial number.

That’s it folks! You want to buy it?

You can make contact here.

Oh but wait.. there’s another one for sale in San Francisco with no pictures, but the seller does offer a phone number. I don’t think it’s the same one, but it sounds very similar in specs.

Cheers!

This is a Ikuzawa-Honda RS600DE in quite nice condition on eBay!

Bike:  1988 Ikuzawa-Honda (Harris Engineering) RS600DE

Location:  Boyne City, Michigan

Mileage:  TMU

The seller states that this RS600DE is a one-owner bike, with the seller purchasing it from Ikuzawa himself.  This bike has only been run four times on the track.  The bike looks to be in very good, original, condition.  However, brake fluid has been split by the front master and rear master causing some discoloration and paint peel.  The rear swing-arm pinch bolts have also cracked the swing-arm on both sides.  I imagine Harris Engineering could reproduce you a swing-arm if you were inclined to run the bike again.  The seller states that this bike has only been run four times on track but also lists the mileage at 2k miles.

From what I can gather, the RS600DE is a parts bin bike with one-off bits where nothing OEM would fit.  The frame is a Harris Engineering unit while the motor consists of a Honda XBR500 bottom end & head with a XL600R barrel and HRC cam.  The rest of the bike is surprisingly sourced from a Suzuki RGV250, primarily, with the rear wheel assembly, front forks (The example on eBay shows conventional forks instead of USD units), front wheel and fairing (modified).  See a data sheet here (This data looks to be based on a single while the bike in question is a twin).

We aren’t privileged with many Harris specials on the open-market here in the U.S.A. but this one doesn’t disappoint.  The only issues are the two small cosmetic ones and the cracks on the rear swing-arm.  The swing-arm issue could be resolved with a new one or, possibly, a repair depending on the integrity of those points.

This is a Japanese delivery 2003 Honda Dream 50R with zero miles and all of the original shipping protection in place!

Bike:  2003 Honda Dream 50R

Location:  Lake Elsinore, California

Mileage:  Zero

Price:  $5,700USD

This Dream 50R was purchased in Japan in 2003 and subsequently shipped to the U.S.  This bike has zero miles and looks to have never been run, with the plastic covering for the seat, exhaust, and blue film still on the chrome bits.  The seller makes no mention of a title or maintenance history but, as you should know, this example is intended for display only.  This bike didn’t make it to the U.S. until the end of 2004, early 2005, and had an MSRP of $5,499–hence why you don’t see very many.

The Dream 50R isn’t just a scooter motor strapped into an old CB frame; here are some highlights:

…double-overhead-cam, HRC-built 50cc screamer that revs to 14,500 rpm…The new Dream uses lower-tech chains to drive its cams, yet it is able to rev 1000 rpm higher than the 13,500-rpm CR110. Power is directed through a 6-speed gearbox.  A lovely oil catch tank created out of aluminum contains crankcase blow-by, and aluminum fenders are used front and rear. Despite the use of a period-spec steel frame, Honda claims the lithe Dream weighs just 157 pounds dry. As with the NSR, the Dream is a product of HRC, and they’ve been kind enough to pre-drill the oil drain bolt to satisfy racing regulations for lockwiring critical fasteners.  Honda claims 7 horsepower at 13,500 from the 49cc engine, but it sounds like much more when the giant open velocity stack ravenously sucks in air for the open 20mm carb as the 40mm piston goes up and down 240 times each second.  The Dream handles like nothing else I’ve ridden. Honda didn’t provide rake and trail numbers, but it will suffice to say you’ve never ridden a motorcycle that turns with less effort…there’s actually enough room for a full-scale adult to fit.

If that paragraph hasn’t caused you to think owning a 50cc bike could be fun, probably nothing will.  Read the full period review from Motorcycle-USA here.  I’d venture to guess that this bike will not sell at $5.7k but, we’ve seen Dream 50R’s with zero miles but this is our first Japan market bike still in the wrapper.  See the other Dream 50R’s we’ve posted here.  See this example on eBay .

Hurricane Season:  Clean 1990 Honda CBR CBR1000F

I love it when ordinary bikes survive the years like this one.  It makes an otherwise basic bike very appealing.  This one reminds a lot of 1994 GSXR750 we had posted on RSBFS recently.  They are both in absolutely mint condition.  Everyone expects a, insert any Italian bike here, to be in great shape and well cared for but no so for average Japanese bike.  It’s kind of funny what time has done to the styling of the CBR.  Doesn’t it have kind of a futuristic sport touring aspect to it now?  Time has treated the styling pretty well.   The Hurricane also takes you back to the time of fun monikers for bikes.   No more hyper sports or neon ninjas splashed across fairings.

Here is some info from the auction:

Own a piece of Honda Hurricane history with this beautiful extremely low mile Honda CBR1000F.  With only 4,701 babied miles, this is the one you have been searching for.  The 1990 edition was the only Hurricane produced with this stunning All-American Red, White, and Blue trim.  This machine is all original with the exception of new Michelin Pilot tires and a new battery.  

As you can see from all the pictures, this 1990 Hurricane is a gorgeous machine.  The engine has tens of thousands of miles left in it.  Most Hurricanes I have seen on various sites are newer models and still have over 30,000 miles on them….and their owners still rave about them!!!  This one has only 4,701!!!  They are great machines and look better than most brand new cycles.  Honda did something right when they wrapped this engine in a rocket-fairing!!!  It’s nice to own something this classic and have heads turn asking if it’s brand new.  Fuel efficient, lightening-bolt fast, and a classic in every sense, don’t let this low-mile missile pass you by!

This machine is being listed locally as well as in other publications.  I reserve the right to end the auction early for that reason.  Good luck bidding and feel free to contact me with any and all questions.  Clear title in hand ready for transfer to new owner.  Our feedback is impeccable!  I won’t waste your time.  I am only selling my Hurricane because my flight schedules keep me “on the road” too much and riding is becoming more time constraining.  Take care.     
 
With the Buy It Now price, I will include my two HJC AC-12 El Diablo Metallic Red, White, Silver, and Blue matching helmets with the mirror shades (only worn a handful of times by my wife and me).  I will also include the black tank bra, Joe Rocket magnetic tank travel bag, two new clear original helmet face shields, and two helmet bag sleeves!!!

I condensed what the seller had written about the bike so be sure to check out the auction for more info on the bike.  Of course the $4800 buy it now price  is way above book value for the bike.  As with most bikes we post here you have to throw out the book values because of the bikes condition.   You are basically paying for the opportunity to buy the bike you missed out on years ago in new condition.  If you’ve been waiting for a super clean CBR1000 from the early 90′s it is .

1989 Honda CB-1 400cc

Location: Lake Geneva, WI
Mileage: 10,976
Price: $1,850.00

Never heard of a CB-1? Well get in line because most people haven’t either.. These were largely over shadowed by the Hawk NT-650 and the mighty FZR 400 back in the day. Like all stateside 400′s the CB1′s lived a short life due to American’s “bigger is better” attitude towards motorcycles, but they have quite the cult following. These little CB’s pump out 55hp and make for a great urban assault ride.

My wife saw me writing this and said she really liked the color. She’s been itching for a small bike to putt around on and this one would surely fit the bill. Lake Geneva is a great little town full of energy and fun things to do. If you decide to pick this one up I recommend picking it up in person and making a weekend of it.

1989 HONDA CB 1/CB1 400 RARE Only 10k Miles
