2006 DUCATI 999R on ebay w/ No Reserve

Location: Indianapolis, IN
Price: $17,500
Mileage: 2,669

I’m well aware of the fact that more than a few Ducatista look down their noses at 999′s and think it not to be a Ducati worthy design. But, I along with my co-author Ian, like this design and because of its short production cycle, I think it will be extremely collectible- flame suit now on.

With my un-worthy opinion out of the way feast your eyes on this beauty.

What’s not to like? The paint on this one looks better than any I’ve ever seen and it’s so deep and rich it looks as if you can stick your hand in it.

From the seller:

Up for sale is my 2006 Ducati 999R in immaculate condition. This is the last production year of the 999. The design of this bike was way before its time and I imagine will go down as one of the more loved superbikes Ducati has produced. I say this because it didn’t copy the 916, 996, 998 designs of the great Tamburini. It was unlike any other current Ducati design to date and won every time it hit the WSBK circuit. It’s appeal is not shared by all but unlike the newest generation of Superbikes 1098, 1198 it will have more appeal as time goes by because so few were made compared to the other generations of mass production. The all mighty dollar talks and Ducati will continue to produce more and more of the next generation models making the ‘999” series even more special. Not to mention the “R” bikes being the cream of the crop.

The 999 “R” models came complete with carbon bodywork unlike the 1098 and 1198 R models of today. That includes every piece of bodywork minus the gas tank and tail section. But don’t worry because I have included an ultra rare all carbon fiber Ducati Performance Tail section installed on my bike. The only piece of bodywork now that isn’t carbon is the gas tank. The replacement cost of just one carbon fiber side panel would cost you $5000.00 from Ducati. The carbon bodywork on my bike has a mirror finish with no blemishes and is in perfect condition. All images and video show the gloss and shine to my bikes exterior. Beautiful doesn’t even start to describe the bikes appearance. It looks brand new!

If you’ve seen other 999R for sale take notice! My bike has many upgrades that are no longer available for retail sale. The 999R Xerox model sold in 2006 came with a slip on exhaust system. The regular RED ONLY 999R came with no extra exhaust at all.

My 999R has the full 57mm Termignoni race exhaust with ECU and is also ceramic coated to protect your backside and lesson heat keeping that all so important bodyword free of any burns or scorching. The system installed is longer available for retail sale from Termignoni and is very hard to find in the USA.

The upgrades:

# Full Termignoni 57mm Race Pancake Exhaust w/Paired ECU & Ceramic Coated
# Marchesini Gold Forged Magnesium Rims
# Brembo RCS Brake and Clutch Master Cylinders with Folding Levers
# Brembo HP Full Floating Front Rotors
# Very Rare Ducati Performance All Carbon Fiber Seat Tail Section
# Ducati Performance Carbon Gas Cap
# Billet Cycle Cat Rear Sets
# Gilles Tooling Chain Adjusters
# Ducati Performance License Plate Eliminator
# Puig Smoked Wind Screen
# Brand New Michelin Power Pure 2CT Tires

This one is ready to rock-n-roll and is only a short drive from me… So if you’re in the market and need an unbiased 3rd party to check it out for you- Give me a shout!

and make sure you check out the hi-res photo link.

1995 Honda RVF400rr NC35

Location: Aspen, Colorado
Price: $8,500.00 with no reserve

Thinking RVF? Maybe you should give this latest submission a look. Listed on ebay with a starting bid of $8,500.00 and no reserve in sight- A quick glance at the auction will tell you a whole lot of money has been spent on this NC. The list of distinguished upgrades include, but isn’t limted to, a HRC motor, Penske shock, Dymag wheels, various Tyga parts, Brembo master cylinder and Ferrodo rotors. All totalled, the owner states that there is $50,000 invested in this RVF. When you consider the asking price to what’s been invested this one could be the steal of a lifetime.

What does all this get you? How about 85hp out of a 400cc motor a suspension to handle it and brakes to bring it all to a sudden stop.

to jump over to the auction site for several more hi-res pix and a complete list of modifications.

1992 Kawasaki K1 ZX-7R

Location: Indiana- near Louisville, KY
Price: $7,750

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.

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!

1991 Kawasaki ZX7R K1

Location: Houston, TX
Mileage: 8853
Price: $5,500.00

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.

Good luck with the sale!

Cheers!

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:

You can view the CL ad here

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

Cheers!

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!

1996 Kawasaki ZX7RR N1

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.

Here’s the quote from the listing:

-VERY RARE ZX7RR MODEL, ONLY 500 BELIEVED TO BE MADE
- 750CC, 4 CYLINDER, 6 SPEED, WATER COOLED, 4 VALVE PER CYLINDER
- NEW TIRES FRONT & REAR, DUNLOP SPORT MAX QUALIFIER 190/50 & 120/70 ZR17
- BLACK ENKEI 17″ WHEELS
- NISSIN CALIPERS, 6 PISTON DUALS FRONT & 4 PISTON REAR, NEW STAINLESS BRAKE LINES
- ADJUSTABLE REAR SUSPENSION WITH LOWERING LINKS
- NEW SPROCKET AND CHAIN INSTALLED
- KEIHIN 41MM CARBS, UPGRADED FROM 39MM
- COMPLETE HINDLE STEALTH EXHAUST
- K & N AIR FILTER
- NGK IRIDIUM PLUGS CR9EIX
- FRESH 20W – 50 OIL & FILTER
- NEW BATTERY
- PEARL YELLOW PAINT W/ CUSTOM LETTERING
- SOLO TAIL FEATURED ONLY ON RR MODEL
- SPARE PAINTED FRONT & REAR FAIRINGS
- LED SIGNALS IN THE REAR
- POLISHED ALUMINUM FRAME
- MINOR DAMAGE ON RIGHT FAIRING (IN PIC)
- 28,490 KMS (17,700 miles)

I’m really at a loss for words on this one, but thought that maybe, just maybe someone out there would have an interest in it.

Let us know if you pick it up.

Cheers!

2002 Ducati 998R

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.

Cheers!

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 .
