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.

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!

This is a limited edition MV Agusta fitted with Magnesium goodies from the factory.  Located in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania is a MV Agusta F4 750 Serie Oro.  Doug posted #286 back in September on eBay with a price of $22,000.  This bike is for sale by a dealer (Fast By Ferracci; you may have heard of them) and has an asking price of $25,000.  The Serie Oro bikes feature magnesium parts such as the swing arm, wheels, and frame plates anodized gold.  The wold-wide production was only 300 units and this bike is number 279.  The original asking price for this edition was $57,000; the current asking price of $25,000 doesn’t sound bad at all compared to that.  Mileage for this example is only 1,068.  See the bike on Fast By Ferracci’s website here.

Ben Bostrom LE Ducati 998 #71 of 155 made with only 800 miles and never titled for the down low price of $14,999.00. Located in Burlington, NC and listed on Craigslist is this one owner B Boz replica (well, not really) 998 with super low miles. I listed one of these a few days ago and spilled my heart as to why I like these and why I like the Boz Bros. so I won’t bore you with it again. The other one was priced considerably less at $10,500.00 and was said to be entertaining offers. So this one may or may not be a steal, but you’ll have to decide what the mileage and never being titled is worth to you. Is it worth $4,499.00 to you? I think if I was a serious collector, with unlimited funds, a huge warehouse full of Ducati’s and I was missing this one it would be worth it. But, since I’m “D – none of the above” I’ll just keep dreaming.

Quotes from the listing:

The other day my wife likened me and the RSBFS.com website to her and a jewelry store; of course, I told her she was spot on with her analsys. The only difference I can find between the two is that she gets to keep a wish list at the jewelry store that I’m supposed to check in on from time to time. I guess I’ll have to come up with a clever “wish list” of my own and strategically place it on her forehead…

2008 Ducati Monster LE for sale with $20,000.00 in upgraded bits…

Just to disclose the obvious – I am not a Ducati expert nor do I claim to be one, but even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then and boy did I ever….

Listed as #287 of 400 produced this Ducati is way cool and has some of the best looking upgraded parts I’ve ever seen. I refer you to the full Termi Titanium/Carbon exhaust or those sweet rear sets. Did I mention the matching red powder coated swing arm and exhaust pipes? Now I’ll have to admit the red exhaust pipes aren’t my favorite, but I can certainly appreciate the thought, effort and costs that went into getting it done. I like the raw Titanium look of an expensive Termi exhaust, but like I mentioned I can appreciate it and won’t knock it.

Since I’m an honest guy I’ll also admit I didn’t know Ducati made this bike in an LE. But, I’m sure most Monster fans would kill to get their hands on one of these bad boy street fighters.

The starting bid is $12,500.00 with no reserve so it is possible to own this LE for just that. Bike is located in Springfield, Missouri and is said to have 1,677 miles on the odometer. I’m pretty sure I could ride this one and be proud to do so. Give the pictures a once over and then jump over to the auction and check out the rest of the pictures. You won’t be disappointed.

Quotes from the seller:

$3,000 Full Termignoni Titanium & Carbon Fiber Exhaust System
Fully Mapped Ducati Performance ECU
$250.00 Ducati Bike Stand
Upgraded Dark Tinted Wind Screen.
Ceramic Coated Exhaust by JET-HOT, approx. $450.00
Matching Red Powder Coated Swing Arm.
$1,000 Ducati Billet Rear Set.
Gold Andodized Clutch Plate with Red Anodized Bolt Plugs
Custom Black Clutch Basket Cover
Drilled Billet Sprocket/Chain Cover.
Carbon Fiber Chain guards.
Upgraded High Performance Gold Drive Chain
Red Ducati Hallmarked License Plate bolts.

That is quite the laundry lists of upgraded parts and some of them are high dollar bits. So if you’re interested in a killer looking Ducati Monster and check it out.

2002 Bayliss 998 Race Replica with only 2182 miles on the clock and it is clean, clean, clean!!!

The 998 Bayliss replica is my second favorite right behind the Bostrom replica. But this one is so perfect and clean I could be persuaded to change that order.

Being a 998s these are equipped with Ohlins on both ends, Carbon Fiber fairings along with other bits, and a 998cc Testastretta engine that puts out 123 HP. And of course those racer boy decals that always make you look faster than you are.

As I’m writing this the current price is $5,800.00 and bidding looks to be brisk with 12 bidders already in the mix. Bike is located in Cedar Park, TX —- in the sellers basement. The seller has thoroughly documented his Bayliss 998s LE with no less than 24 pictures on the auction so you should be able to buy with confidence. And should you have any questions his phone number is listed on the auction site as well. He also offers up a pretty darn good guarantee – “If you dont like the bike when you win it, i will give your money back.” Nice eh?

In the sellers words:

Up for auction is the cleanest 998S Ducati you will ever see. There is nothing wrong with this bike. Its like buying it right off the show room floor. No cracks, no chips, no scratches no dents no dust no dirt!!!!.

Ducati released this 998s special Bayliss edition to commemorate his winning the World Superbike title. They made only 400 of these bikes to distribute through out the world, so this is very special and very rare. Each and every bike was hand signed on the tank by Troy himself. His signature is unique to eash bike as no two are exactly alike. This one is number 306/400. This is the last year of the 998S and with it being the rare Bayliss version as well..

I bought the bike with only 2177 miles on it. I just wanted one of these to put in my living. Thats why i bought this bike. I have been looking for the past four years to find the cleanest one, and I did, but now I have to sale it. The bike is still on its original rubber. It comes with the race exhaust, which is installed, an up grade chip, the special cover that Troy Bayliss’s signature printed on it with his race number 21. It even comes with the special plaque with its birth date and authenticity. These will also follow the new owner.

Just look at the pictures the bike looks brand new. Take a good look at the rear sprocket how clean it is. This should tell you all something about this bike. I have the orginal mirrors and turn signals. I took them off to look like a real race bike. If you dont like the bike win you win it, i will give your money back.

One quick note about Bayliss… Like most racers when they first go to Ducati they give it their absolute 100% and Bayliss was no different. He was a hoot to watch sliding the back wheel around, lifting the back wheel under breaking, manipulating the bike and lighting-it-up coming out of turns. Yep, I get goosebumps remembering him battle, what was arguably, the best WSB period ever. I did some research and found some cool video’s of Bayliss that you might enjoy watching before you jump over to the auction.

Cheers!

1998 Honda RVF 400 NC 35 with a valid North Carolina title.

Disclaimer: All of my research shows the RVF was only made for 3 years – 1994, 95 and 96. This is a RVF, but what year?

It is 12(14) years removed from brand new, but it looks to be in good shape and ready to rock-n-roll. Equipped with a small V4 engine, single sided swing arm and dual headlights these were definitely not the norm back in 98 (96). Although, they were never officially brought state side there seem to be several of them around and you can almost always find one for sale. As a matter of fact, Alex posted a race version last week that was all tricked out.

The bad news on this one is the B.I.N. price is set at $10,000.00, which is quite exorbitant. Most RVF/VFR’s that we’ve posted are in the $4,000 to $8,000 range w/ titles and streetable. Nonetheless, if you are looking for one of these give this one a look. They are still stylish and don’t look dated like some bikes from the mid 90’s.

Quotes from the listing:

This is a rare Japanese Domestic street legal race bike with a valid NC title. The bike was purchased in Japan by an American service man. He brought it back legally to the states. I have had the bike since 2003 and have used it almost exclusively on the track. It is in like new condition and pristine. Only one minor defect in an unfortunate incident on the back of my truck. Never abused and only used on a few US Desmo track days.

There are several more pictures posted on the auction site. The seller mentions an accident, but I couldn’t find any pictures that detailed it. Bike is said to have 6,000 miles on the clock, but you’d be hard pressed to tell it by looking at the pictures. You can

Cheers!

NSR 250se MC28 with low miles and it looks to be super clean from the photos. Though it isn’t stated in the ad, this one is titled and registered in California .

This example is said to be all original and only has around 5,800 miles on it. MC 28’s were in full swing in 94 and the NSR’s were highly developed by this time. The PGM IV carburetor management system worked better than any previous year and was said to be the best to date for street riding. In 1994 the ProArm NSR SE models were equipped with the dry clutch and Showa’s fully adjustable suspension front and rear. They also received upgraded colored front rotor hubs (as if that really matters), but hey, when you are trying to sell 250’s for $8,000.00 usd I guess you need to throw in anything you can to fill up the brochures.

This one is listed for $8,000.00 and considering it’s all original, has low miles, is titled and licensed it probably won’t be around too long.

If you want to know more about the history of NSR’s you can view it here.

Not to beat a dead horse, but I wish one (or more) of the major motorcycle manufactures could find a way to produce a sport version small cc bike. Obviously, the problem is pure economics. There simply aren’t enough people, like myself, who want a 60hp sport bike. What fun would drag racing a 60hp bike be? Or can you imagine extending the swing arm on one? HA!

Star light, Star bright, First star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might, Have this wish I wish tonight.

There! Maybe that will help

Here’s the Los Angeles Craigslist ad

1988/89 FZR 400 in concourse condition….almost unbelievable!

If you’re a fan of the small cc sport bikes of days gone by then you need to pull up a chair and have a seat. This is a 88 or 89 FZR 400 that is said to be in “100% as it left the factory condition.” Now, that can mean a couple of things, but the ad is a little vague and hard to decipher.

What can you make of the following?

This is a Canadian market FZR400 in museum condition; I cannot put into words how perfect this bike is. It has never seen rain, it is 100% as it left the factory including the tires, it was in my living room for 6 years and in my kitchen for 8. I drained all the fluids and put it into the house for safe keeping, now I’m selling most of my collection to make one large purchase. thanks for looking

Let’s see…. 6 years + 8 years = 14 years. I understand that part, but what happened to the other 6 or 7 years??? What model year is it? How many miles does it have? Is the tank rusted? I would love to have some better pictures and information to back up the ad. I did the obvious and contacted the seller for more information, but I’m still waiting. So not to prevent any would be FZR hunter the opportunity to buy such a gem I figured I would post up what I had.

Being the FZR 400 aficionado that I am, I would say the picture does appear to back up what is said. And with an asking price nearly double what they cost when new it better damn well be a museum piece. But, you’ll need to be the judge and take from my opinion exactly what you paid for it

Asking price is a steep $5,400.00 and bike is listed for sale on the Vancouver, BC CL.

Is this the last new FZR 400 in North America? If so, $5,400.00 would be the cheapest new FZR400 available for sale and someone needs to pick this one up quick before I do something silly. My kids should be getting nervous.

Cheers!

This is a 2001 Ducati 748S with only 960 original miles!  Located in Escondido, California is a completely stock 748S looking to be in perfect condition as it should with this low mileage.  The bike comes with the original bill of sale, a clean title, owners manual, and service manual.  As standard, this bike has the five spoke Marchesini wheels, Showa suspension, the motor is a derivative of the earlier SPS motor, and the “S” line features a different exhaust system.  The asking price is a very fair $6,000.  It would be possible to ride this bike for five thousand miles and still loose hardly in depreciation.  As long as regular services have been done–If you wish to ride it–I say this bike is a win!  See it on Craigslist here.
