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.

1998 Buell S1W Pascal Picotte race bike

Mileage: 0 – it’s a racer!
Price: $10,000.00

Race prepped for and ridden by Pascal Picotte is this S1W racer. Oddly enough, this looks very similar to a bike that my first road race instructor used, for me and my classmates to follow him around, at Blackhawk Farms Raceway. It was 1999 when I first saw one of these up close and personal and I must say that when in race trim they are quite impressive. And that’s not to mention how fast they are when being piloted by ex-factory super bike riders like Pascal and my instructor Scott “Z-man” Zampach.

We featured Pascal’s VR1000R a few months back and I thought that was a pretty cool opportunity in itself. If, by chance, you picked that one up you now have a chance to add to your Pascal collection with yet another Factory prepped racer.

Have a look:

From the seller:

1998 Buell S1W Pascal Picotte race bike

One of 13 S1w’s pulled from the line and factory race prepped for a H-D Factory rider Spec race at the 15th HOG rally. Picotte won with this bike

Bike features a Non production but factory color scheme, Picotte’s number plates, Picotte’s signature several places on the bike.

Immediately after the race these bikes were given to the largest Buell dealers as show bikes for the shops.

This bike has Bill of Sale only although could easily be made to be street legal

Pretty cool bike for any collection-

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.

Bid on this Ikuzawa-Honda on eBay .

1993 Yamaha TZ 250 GP track bike

Make: Yamaha
Model: TZ 250
Price: $2,800 starting bid with $5,500 B.I.N. – This won’t make it through the day on ebay!
Location: Rocklin, CA

Found this beauty on ebay this morning while key wording for rare bikes- did I hit the jackpot! This one is super clean and has been stored for approximately 10 years on stands and it shows! I suspect this one doesn’t have any bids on it because the key words are a little funny. I assure you at a $2,800 starting bid with no reserve, this one will not make it through the day. I’ve been on a 2 stroke kick lately and I’ve seen piles of what is said to be a rare 2 stroke bike and it is merely junk. TZ’s have a long storied racing history and are probably some of the sickest looking race bikes around- sans a MotoGP machine of course.

Looking for a cheap race or track day bike? Then look no further because you have found it!

Quote from the ebay listing:

Yamaha TZ250 Former AFM race bike with minimal spares.

Tough economy forces sale of this awesome bike.

* Starts easy & runs great, very fast and collectable

* Very low use on this bike. I have owned it for almost 10 years and only ridden it twice at trackdays. It has older Dunlop tires on it. It has been stored in my shop up on a stand. Needs a little clean up, remove dust and cobwebs.

* This bike sold new for over $20K – factory GP bike

Okay, so it needs to be dusted off and a new pair of sneakers before hitting the track. Not to keep harping on it, but you can’t buy a 1997 CBR F3 track bike for $2,800 bucks! This is 250#’s of 2 stroke madness at it’s best!

I won’t hold you up any longer….

Cheers!

A nice looking NX4 RS125 with a good spares package that is ready to go!

Bike:  1996 Honda RS125

Price:  Currently on eBay for $3,000 with two days remaining and the reserve has not been met.

Location:  Great Falls, Virginia

Mileage:  200 miles on top-end

The spares for this bike mainly consist of the small things that would eat you up buying piece by piece (Jets, needles, sprockets, etc.) but it also comes with some nice items such as warmers, tires, and extra cases.  Here is a full list:

Engine Parts:

Used case with crank

New/barely used cylinder (don’t remember – it’s flawless)

Main Jets 150, 152, 155, 158, 160, 168, 170, 172, 175, 2x 178, 180, 185, 188, 190, 192, 195, 198, 200

Pilot jets: 45, 48, 2x 50

Full set of needles:  1468J, 1469J, 1371J, 1269J,1270N, 1368J, 1365J, 1271N, 1370J…too many to type

Used Crank

7 used pistons

New and used rings

Reeds

Base gaskets: 0.4, 2x 0.5, 0.6

Engine case cover gasket

O-rings

Chassis:

Front sprockets: 14, 2x 15, 2x 16, 17

Rear sprockets: 34, 35, 36, 4x 37, 38, 39, 40, 41

Stock steering damper

Foot pegs

Brake and shift levers

Clutch cable

Coil

Stock silencer

Brake pads

Fairing stays

Other good stuff:

Graves tire warmers front/rear

Set of rain tires

2-stroke oil

Many spare fasteners

I wouldn’t use the used pistons and used crank as the risk wouldn’t be worth it, but that’s just me.  This bike seems ready to go and will compete with all the other RS125′s because they haven’t changed much since ’95.  If you’d like a little 125 this is worth considering, it’ll be interesting to see what the reserve on it is.  .

1990 Honda RC30

**Update 6.13.10 – This bike is back on ebay

**Update 6.7.10 – This bike did not sell and didn’t receive any bids. The motorcycling world has truly hit rock bottom! But, the upside is now I may be able to afford one of these someday.

Location: Topsham, Vermont
Price: $24,000 B.I.N. (and that my friends is a no haggle deal!)
Mileage: 15,485

Forwarded to us by Jon, the owner, is his wonderfully preserved RC30. Since no one can tell a bikes history like the owner, I’ll let Jon tell you about his RC30.

This particular RC30 remains completely unmolested. It still has its distinctive 18″ rear wheel. Even the front brake rotors with the factory cuts are the originals (extremely hard to find). In the keyed compartment behind the seat rest is the original Honda canvas rolled toolkit. The original manual still exists. The bike has not been painted, nor does it show any sign of crash or “fall over” damage. The tell-tale sign of HRC original body work is using one’s fingers to feel the roll of the lip of the hand-laid fiberglass. That lip is present everywhere, as is the seemingly impossible-to-be-that-thin wall of the fiberglass panels. This is not an RC30 which has ever seen the ground.

An all original RC30 is indeed hard to come by. For me personally, “all original” is a million times better than “period correct modifications” any day of the week. We had one posted a few weeks back and the bidding stalled out at $21,100 and it was equally original with almost the exact same mileage. I’m not sure if it’s the down market or what, but to see a RC30 stall at $21,100 was a bit odd for me. If I had the extra $24,000 this one would not be going live today

This NX4 RS125 comes with a ton of spares and is priced very nicely!  Located in San Diego, California is a 1996 Honda RS125 finished in baby blue.  The seller states that this bike has a completely rebuilt, fresh, motor; new tires, new chain and many extras.  Looking at the photos this bike has an extensive spares package of consumables.  The photo shows five HRC pistons–if they’re all full and new–which, at $246 a piece retail, is $1,230 in spare pistons alone.  The photo also looks to show additional barrels, new and used, chains, sprockets, manuals and other assorted pieces.  Do the math, we’ve seen the bottom of early NX4′s at around $3,500-4,000 dollars for a bike in good condition with a decent spares package;  This bike is only priced at $3,500 and comes with over $1,000 in spare piston kits alone.  The ’96MY bikes are the last of the leaded head bikes but, the RS125 remained largely unchanged–there are some small changes–from ’95-present.  I honestly wish I wasn’t writing this post and were instead going to pick it up or calling for a shipper.  If you can live with baby blue or, can decently wield a spray gun have a look at this RS125 on Craigslist here.

1990 RC30 VFR750 with 15,882 miles for sale on ebay.

UPDATE 5.4.10: auction ended with a high bid of $21,100 and it did not meet the reserve.

**UPDATE 4.28.10** This one is and bidding is brisk with 63 views and 11 bids already!

Yes, you are seeing another RC30 for sale in less than 1 week. It is either the economy or the Baby Boomers moving on to another toy, but either way it is rare to see 2 for sale so close together. Last weeks RC30 didn’t sell, but fetched a hefty bid of $28,766.00. I thought for sure it would have sold around the $27,000 mark, but the owner liked it more than anyone else, which isn’t so bad considering he still owns the best RC30 I’ve ever seen up for sale.

This latest offering is nothing to turn your nose up to because it looks to have been a ridden a little, and cared for a whole lot. By looking at the pictures you wouldn’t know it has 15k on the odometer other than the discoloration from the exhaust. Take a look and see what you think.

In the owners words:

Up for auction is my U.S. spec 1990 Honda RC30. Only 300 were hand built by a 4 man team from start to finish. There are fewer than 300 remaining since many went to the race track and were destroyed. Mine is # 176. I am the original owner and have put every mile on it. My bike has never been down, raced, or abused in any way. The bike has always been housed indoors and has never seen rain.

I will let the pictures speak as to its’ condition-it could easily fit into a museum display. You will notice on the bottom of the lower fairing some slight discoloring. RC30s run slightly warm, and the hot exhaust will cause the discoloration. To protect the body and cool the engine bay the exhaust and coolant hoses are heat wrapped (easy to remove if desired). I thought about having the fairing painted but decided I wanted to keep it as it is. The discoloration does not show when mounted.

Included with the bike is the original owner’s/service manual, an original sales brochure, a complete copy of the parts microfiche, the original Honda race stand, a signed picture of a Two Brothers RC30 Rider, a sealed model of the RC30, and a video of a very young replacement rider named Miguel DuHamel riding an RC30 to Victory in the Daytona 200.

Whether riding this bike with a grin that won’t fit in your helmet, or staring at it as a piece of fine art, you will not be disappointed.

This RC30 is that good.

Thanks for the heads up from -Dan RC30

Cheers!

Here is another RS250 in California!  Located in Ramona, California is an untitled Aprilia RS250 Cup track bike.  The seller does state that this bike comes with the original fairings in a box, scratch free, suggestion that this might have been a street bike originally.  The seller makes no mention of spares, other than plastics, suggesting that the bike is priced high at $7,500.  The plastics it comes with are worth a bit of money but, not the $3k that this bike is running over the track RS250s we’ve seen.

See the other RS250′s we’ve posted and compare values for yourself here.

See the Craigslist ad for the bike in California here.
