Yes,this is good old fashion abuse of my employer and job, but from what I hear the boss isn’t near a computer and won’t see it before I pull it down.
This is my beloved K1 and yes it’s being put up for sale. Not due to hardship mind you so any would be snipers lurking in the shadows waiting for a steal just stay put. To tell it like it is “I love my bike!”, but I have enjoyed it all summer and my thoughts have turned to the next bike on my list…. Okay, so there’s two bikes that I’d love to buy if, one of you guys decide to pull the trigger on my bike. And if I don’t sell it, I’ll just enjoy it some more and try again later.
Highs:
-New Dunlops with less than 500 miles on them
-100% original and stock
-Runs like a scalded dog and pulls like a Clydesdale
-95 out of 100 cosmetically
Lows:
-missing 5 points on my scale
I will answer any and all questions. I’ve attached 24 pictures that were taken today and hopefully they show how well the bike has been taken care of.
I’ve owned it since May of this year and am the 3rd owner. I purchased it from a friend of RSBFS.
Up for grabs is, RSBFS viewer, Juan’s ZX7R with super low miles. When I was first contacted about listing the bike on RSBFS I was skeptical and I literally put Juan through the ringer about his bike. We at RSBFS don’t like to misrepresent, get scammed or post bogus bikes on our site and that is the very reason I made him jump through hoops…
Have a look and you’ll see why:
Now, I know what everyone is thinking and it is a K1. It seems as though the previous owner went against the grain and wanted a 2 up bike and sourced the parts to do it, which as we all know is the complete opposite of the majority. Most guys want a racier look and spend hundreds of dollars buying solo tails and having them painted to look like the 7R’s. I’ve seen many plain Jane 7′s made to look like 7R’s, but I’ll have to admit this is the first one for me in this form.
So there you have all of the photo’s to prove that this bike is in fact a K1 Homologation Super Bike.
Juan tells me that he has cared for his bike and hates to see it go, but it is time. He has it priced right and ready move.
You can contact him via email at jrbaseball2006@yahoo.com. He was more than accommodating with all of my request and I’m sure he’ll do the same for you.
OK folks, here’s my own personal ride up for sale – a very clean ’98 Ducati 900SS FE (serial #299 of 300) with 76xx miles.
As some of you may know, I am quite fond of the 2V air-cooled Ducati engine for its charm. As a matter of fact, my first post for RSBFS was a Ducati 900SS FE, so with a bit of irony and a hint of sadness I am putting up my own FE up for sale.
The bike has very low miles and well looked after. It’s pretty much stock except for carbon silencers (I think they are Ducati Performance items but not sure) and Corbin saddle. The bike doesn’t need anything other than a quick going over the fluids and batteries.
Asking $5800 or best offer. The bike can be viewed at at Supermoto Italia in New York. Any questions just let me know!
Location: Regina, SK, Canada
Price: $2,550 with reserve still in place
Mileage: 17,700
Yes it is the real deal, but what happened to it is beyond my knowledge. I found it by dumb luck and it only has 23 hours left on the official auction time so if you’re interested you better act now.
Some of the obvious changes are yellow paint (wow), lowered, short stalk turn signals, different rear sets, and a polished frame. I’m guessing this one is too far removed from stock to be worth much more than a plain Jane ZX7 which are usually priced between $3,000 and $3,500.

Update 8.11.10 – this one is back on ebay for round #2 and the link is live
Location: Naples, FL
Miles: 2,060 miles
Price: $26,000.00
The 998R has proven itself to be more elusive than the $75,000.00 D16RR. How do I know you ask? Well, because we, the North American Rare Sport Bike Authority, have posted far more D16RR Desmocidici’s than 998R’s! The proof is in the pudding….okay so it’s not pudding, but it is in the RSBFS archives.
With an original MSRP of $28,995 I have to believe the asking price of $26,000.00 is a little out of range at this point and time. I know of another 998R that has been for sale a long time, is priced at $20,000.00 and is in the same condition as this one. Make no mistake I’m not saying there isn’t someone, somewhere willing to pay $26,000 for a 998R, but there is a limit for even the rarest of the rare.
Fully equipped with top notch Ohlins suspenders, Marchesini 5-spoke light alloy rims, and a 999cc Desmodromic engine cranking out 140hp at 10,000 rpm’s. One could make an argument that this is Ducati’s best Homologation Superbike or at least I could argue it. This is by far my favorite Ducati Superbike and although I will never own one in my current financial state, it remains on my short list for when my Lotto numbers get drawn.
Very rare 2002 998R. Perfect condition. Street legal and registered. I have all parts originally associated with bike in
order to build back to race spec. as imported. I hold a loan on the bike so please allow approx. 2-3 wks to receive all
paperwork/title. Buyer is completely responsible and liable for shipping of the bike.
Submitted to RSBFS.com by it’s owner is this fine piece of Ducati exotica. Oozing with Carbon Fiber, Ducati mystique, racing heritage and Ben Bostroms signature on the tank.
It looks to be in great shape and well cared for. The Bostrom 998s is on my short list of bikes to own and I’ll be searching for one of these right after I own a 2 stroke for a year or two. So, if you’ve already owned a few of your dream bikes and the Bostrom 998s is the next one on your list now is your chance. Jami has it priced fair at $12,899.00 (why not make it 12,998? ).
The seller also has a few other Ducati’s for sale and has made a nice video on youtube.
Location: Norwalk, CT
Mileage: Race Bike
Price: $10,000 on ebay with reserve firmly in place
The R7 needs no introduction on RSBFS or in any other sport bike circles for that matter. We’ve had a few on the site, but none quit like this one. Just in case you were sleeping in 1999 and missed the Yamaha press release here it is again.
Now that you’ve been introduced to what a bone stock R7 looks like feast your eyes on this one. It reminds me of my bald Uncle Larry who still sports a mullet.
All business up front and all party in the back
Have a look….
From the owner:
When you think rare bikes (I’m talking rock horse poo rare!) the YAMAHA R7 has to be on the list. This is the real deal. A full on factory superbike. 1999 Yamaha R7 fully kitted YEC parts. This bike competed in the MACAU Grand Prix (Jefferies), Island of Man and the Northwest 200. The specs are sic. A full on YEC R1 1000cc superbike motor, Pankel Ti rods, YEC cams, YEC close ratio box. There’s aircraft style fuel lines and braided steel oil and coolent lines. Dynoed at 182.4 rwhp. I’m not sure of the actual bore size but I do believe this is a 2mm over motor. So I think it’s a 1040cc. Here’s the kicker it was tuned by Slick Bass (Fogarty’s Cheif Mechanic). He adapted a full Motec Ignition (yea MOTEC!) system in conjunction with the the R7 Yec KIT fuel injection system. It’s got a Stack Tach tied into a factory YEC wiring harness. The radiator of course is a multi teir Febor superbike unit (It was $5800), The exhaust is a full titanium Promotive. Look at the swingarm..pure eye candy Factory YEC kit piece. To stop this monster it’s got the tiny rear brembo caliper and a wicked set of AP 6 piston superbike front calipers with 320mm superbike rotors squeezed by a radial AP master cylinder. The suspension is full on GP (period spec) Ohlins. The rear with ride height adjuster. The front is sic! Fully adjustable 48mm pinched with a set of massive RSS front triple trees. There’s a Ohlins steering damper hiding under the left side fairing to stop those wiggles at 190mph on the ISM course (sic!!). Of course there’s the magnesium Marchesini wheels 6.25 rear, 3.75 front. Warped up are a set of pretty new Dunlop slicks.(just one track day) The body work is all fiberglass (sorry no carbon) painted by Dream Works in factory Haga colors. The suspension was recently serviced by Ohlins. It’s set up for a 190 lb rider. I did a track day on this bike at Road Atlanta and it was fast as hell and handled WAY better than my 07 GSXR1000.
Now this thing would make a awesome trackday bike if you want to show up and make the guy on the Desmosedici look like he’s on a common street bike. Even better put a light (something like a Suzuka 8HR single) on this thing and ride it on the road. Thats were this bike did the business anyway.
I’m going to test the water and see if anyone out there knows what this bike is, understands what it takes to build something like this and has the balls to ride it. There’s probably over $100k in this bike just in development. And that’s in 1999 dollars (or was that pounds?). Anyway if you want one of the rarest bikes in the world (yea that’s a bold statement but completely true…try to tell me otherwise) man up and start bidding. It’s wicked cool and I guarantee you will not see another at the race track or on the road.
Okay, so it’s pretty far removed from stock trim, but the upgrades reads like a “who’s who” of the Homologation Super Bike World. Not to mention it was tuned by Slick Bass….. c’mon man, that alone is worth a year of bragging rights and that is priceless when your sitting around gurgling and belching with your buds on a Friday night while bench racing. Although, if you told too many guys that story it may cause some serious bloating within the group so be careful if you pick this beauty up.
Ready to “man up” and test your salt on a real Super Bike? and let me know where you’re first track day will be. I’ll come and help you dial it in. But, of course I’ll need to take it on a few hot laps to see if we’re making any progress.

So it appears the old saying “when it rains RC30′s, it pours RC30′s” is true. I was the 31st person to view this RC today after it had been posted and I owe thanks to my buddy Dan for the heads up. He always seems to have his RC30 radar on and turned to 11 on the sensitivity dial. This makes the 3rd one, within a very short period of time, that we’ve had posted on RSBFS. RC’s are one of our (many ) favorites and this one hasn’t let us down. Said to be in “museum quality shape” and on display most of it’s life, but it’s hard to tell the actual condition with the limited number of pictures that the seller included.
Yes, that is his kitchen and I was laughing as well until I asked my buddy Dan where he keeps his 5,000 mile RC30 that he has so affectionatley nicknamed “Minty”. His reply? In his bedroom! So, RC30 owners are obsessed and the way I see it they have good reason to be considering what they own. I have learned something from the current RC offering and that is, if you plan on bringing your RC into the house put shring wrap on the tires to avoid any nasty scuff marks on your tile floors. Don’t believe me? Check it out…
Do you see it? Pretty cool trick brought to you by some of the most envied super bike owners on the planet.
So I can tell by the brake caliper that the bike is squeaky clean, but I have to believe that after 10k there is inevitably a rock chip, scuff or paint wear on the bottom of the fairing next to the front tire. I know I’ll get blasted for being so picky and not considering the age of the bike, but the price warrants a good disclosure and with no close up pictures being offered, one can only wonder. You know “things that make you go hmmmm”
I have a hard time believing that this one will sell considering the price. More pictures can be had, information can be shared, history can be produced, but my personal opinion is that this one isn’t 10k better than last weeks RC that didn’t sell or have 1 bid at $19,000. Anyone want to agree or disagree?

Quote from the auction:
There were 82 Honda VFR750R made and only few entered Canada. A handful of Canadian dealers had them and this particular one hit my home town of Calgary, Alberta Canada. This particular bike was owned by the owner of the dealership for the first 15+ years. After retiring and selling off his collection of bikes to take up sailing, a friend of his, an “RC30″ enthusiast and collector who had two other RC 30′s had bought it. With three RC 30′s in his collection I was very fortunate that he parted with this one a couple years ago; and particularly this one as it was a local bike. Born and raised in Calgary and having my father even work at this local dealership I, along with thousands of others was able to admire this gem in our local dealership and dreamed of owing it for decades prior to the dealer selling it off. This bike is flawless and the pictures speak for themselves, and when you see it live it really gives you a since of appreciation for bike enthusiast “collectors” who cherish such special machines 21 years later after there unveiling. In two years I have put 257km on the bike and run the engine to keep it fresh and strong. Its truly is an awesome machine and I parting with it could be a big mistake given the up side this bike will have in years to come as they are so rare is this perfect form. The bike is stored in a temperature controlled environment and is available to view personally
Found this sweet SB6R today while trolling CL ads. This one looks to be in stellar shape and ready to display or properly flog on your favorite set of twisty roads. I know these have the GSXR 1100 motors and when you pair that with Bimota’s weight saving engineering it can only make this one rip!
I haven’t ever seen one of these up for sale; likely because only 10 or so were brought into the US.
1997 Bimota SB6R with 1400 original miles. Kept as a show and display bike, maintained but seldom ridden.
Needs an appreciative rider, these bikes were hand built in Rimini, Italy by craftsmen, using only the finest components. Brembo brakes, Ohlins shocks, Paoli carbon-fiber forks in a hand-built chassis with scads of CF, alloy and Ti components stock. The SB6R has the water-cooler 1100 Suzuki GSXR motor that was tweaked to put out another 10% above stock, making this the fastest, quickest bike that Bimota has ever built; and it still handles like a dream.
This bike is stock and unmolested, making it very collector desireable.
Had this one forwarded to us last night and it looks capital “A” Amazing! Sporting only 600 miles in 4 years this one is ready to continue it’s current journey of being a piece of art or you could finish the break in and hit the road in classic style.
I am selling my 2006 Ducati Paul Smart Limited Edition bike with less than 600 miles on it. It is gorgeous, bone stock and near perfect. I also have all the swag sent to me by Ducati when I pre-ordered the bike 5 years ago. Only 500 of these bikes made it to the US, and I paid over $15,000 for it new. It won’t be long before it will be going for more than that.
