2002 Ducati B Boz 998s LE #108 of 155 on ebay.

I know, I know you’re thinking “why in the hell is Doug putting up another Bostrom?” Plain and simple; because this one is on ebay as a no reserve auction ! That’s right, you can get in on the action of a 998s LE for a starting bid of $8,032.00! The cheapest one we (I) have posted was $10,500 and it had a lot more miles on it. This beauty is currently sitting at 1,670 and looks to be absolutely immaculate. I will admit I didn’t sleep last night because I was trying to scheme a way to trick my wife into saying “yes honey, you can bid”, but since I couldn’t muster up a fool proof plan here it is for the taking. At the time of this posting there was only one bidder and it’s not me

Quote from the listing:

2002 Limited Edition Ducati Bostrom 998s
Like New
Only 1670 Miles
Number 108 of 155

I am pleased to offer this ultra-rare 2002 Ducati 998s Bostrom Edition. This Ducati features the 998cc Testastretta engine, carbon fiber airbox and lower fairing panels, Ohlins adjustable steering damper, Brembo brakes, Termignoni exhaust, billet clutch and sprocket covers, carbon fiber fender and swing arm cover, acculign rear sets, NEW Michelin Pilot Power 2CTs, and Ohlins suspension front and back. The 998 is the final (and best) version of the Tamburini designed 916 Superbike family and was made only 1 year. The Bostrom Limited Edition version was limited to just 155 brought to North America as155 was Ben Bostrom’s racing number.

This bike has always been garaged, never seen rain and is in near new condition.

Includes blue factory rear wheel stand as well as original owner’s manual and other documents. Services that were done include 600 mile service and various oil changes.

Pretty much says it all. New tires, Ohlins, never seen rain, super low miles, 600 mile service is done.. What else to you ask for other than a cheap price? Oh wait, you’ll get that as well because I’m guessing this one will sell at a little over 10g’s.

Good luck!

Cheers!

20 Homologation Super Bikes for sale!

A HUGE thanks to Matt for submitting this to RSBFS.com. I’m not sure how he found it, but it is a Super Bike Collectors dream come true. This auction consists of 20 factory homologation Super Bikes that cover the past three decades and a WSB winner to boot. Depending on what your cup of tea is there is something for every homologation fan. There are four 888 SPO’s, three regular RC30’s, a RC45, a 916 SP3, Desmocedici RR , three OW01’s, a ZX-7R K2, a 996R, a RC51 done up in Castrol racing colors and it has Colin Edwards signature, R1 SP2006 and a uber rare all white RC30 that is said to be 1 of 30. The bad part about this post is that this auction is taking place in the United Kingdom. I know there are some collectors that follow RSBFS that are probably chomping at the bit if they weren’t already aware of this auction. Some of these bikes are basically unobtainable by all standards, but yet here they are for the taking.

What I find crazy about this auction is that none of the bikes have bids on them yet; so either this auction is being kept relatively quiet or it’s a sealed bid type of auction. Whatever the case may be pull up a chair and grab your favorite adult beverage because you’ll be here a while. I think I’ve looked at it no less than 5 times in 4 hours. I just can’t get over it.

Check them out and lets see some comments:

One of the nicest collections we’ve ever had on RSBFS and you can view them all here.

Cheers!

1991 Suzuki Gamma RGV 250 for sale in Red Bluff, CA

Listed on ebay is this 91 Suzuki RGV that looks to be in nice shape with 14,580 miles. Putting out somewhere in the neighborhood of 58HP, equipped with fully adjustable suspension on both ends, Suzuki’s “Banana” swingarm and weighing in at a scant 282 pounds I bet these things rail! Just don’t plan on using a the rear brake to “back it in”

It’s missing the rear brake calliper and one of the plastic mounts on the left side.

How in the hell do you lose a brake caliper? I’m sure there’s one out there available, but I’m still scratching my head on that one.

Maybe Rush should revamp there song “Spirit of the Radio” to “Spirit of Grand Prix”

All joking aside, this is a good looking motorcycle that, in my eyes, doesn’t show it’s age at all. It still looks good and the only thing that gives it away is it doesn’t have radial mount calipers. In the listing the seller states that he has been told it is worth $20,000, but obviously he didn’t believe those guys, because it has an opening bid of $7,000.00. That seems a little high to me, but if I’m wrong I know I’ll get blasted by some of our viewers. I got my flame suit out of the closet just in case . So if you’re a Suzuki enthusiasts and want a piece of exotica to toy with here’s your chance.

Cheers!

2002 Ducati 998S Bostrom #119 of 155 with only 17 miles on the clock.

Located in the heartland of America, also known as Elkhart, Indiana. Bob submitted his beautiful, un-molested, un-ridden bike to us for consideration and of course I couldn’t resist another opportunity to post a B Boz #155. It sometimes seems as though once we post particular bike for sale there are three or four more to follow and this one is no exception. We’ve had several up within the last month and I believe this is the lowest mileage I’ve posted. Bob’s has his Bostrom priced at $16,500 and I believe it is relative in comparison to the others we seen. I do know of one other Bostrom, located in Iowa that has 2 miles on it, but who’s counting anything below 50 right?

The 998S replica models received several upgrades from the base model that included Carbon bodywork, Ohlins forks, and the better four pad Brembo front calipers. Just to kick that dead horse one more time… The Bostroms replica’s are my favorite of them all and if I had the dough I’d travel a few hours north and take this off Bob’s hands, but I have a slight problem in that I’m about $16,499.00 short! Anyone want to spot me? I’m good for it, I swear!

Just for the fun of it here’s a video of Ben ripping it up on a qualifying run:

Here is another CBR400RR but this time on the West Coast.  Located in Auburn, Washington is a titled & registered 1990 Honda CBR400RR.  This bike is no-where near perfect cosmetically but it is said to run very well.  See the other NC29 we just posted for comparison here.  The bike has been tracked in the past, with everything drilled for safety-wire, and has cosmetic damage from being dropped.  Mileage looks to be 28,000km (17,400mi).  The bike has recently been dyno’d and shows 53hp at the rear wheel.  The bike has newer Michelin’s with good tread, braided lines, Scorpion silencer, 1/4 turn throttle and a CBR600 rear shock.  The seller states that this is the only NC29 registered in the state of Washington.  The asking price is $3,500.  If you’re looking for an ugly, but nice handling, bike; see this CBR on PNWRiders here.

1990 Honda RC30 VFR 750RR for sale on the Orange County CL and located in Huntington Beach, CA.

Update: This bike has been sold

With an asking price of $12,500.00 this one will not be around very long so don’t delay if you’re in the market. RC 30’s have been well documented on our site and have been a long time favorite for most of us on RSBFS. Although not a perfect example like the ones we’ve posted in the past, this one has plenty of potential and the price certainly reflects the minor issues. One of the major pluses with this particular bike is that it still owned by the original purchaser and he has the original parts that will go with the bike. It currently has 14,344 on the clock and has been sitting for about 1 1/2 to 2 years so it will need a little TLC. Some of the pictures show where the aluminum has started to oxidize and it will need to be polished to bring it back to life, but that shouldn’t be a deterant to anyone interested in this bike as it has a whole lot of positive things to offer.

Have a look:

Quotes from the listing:

1990 Honda RC30/VFR750RR. #31 of 300 in the US. Liquid-cooled, 90-degree V-4 engine with: Titanium connecting rods, 2-ring racing pistons, gear-driven overhead cams with 4 valves per cylinder, magnesium rocker and side covers, close-ratio 6-speed transmission. Twin-spar aluminum frame with single-sided swing arm. Hand-laid fiberglass bodywork and aluminum gas tank. Aeroquip braided steel brake and clutch lines. Muzzy stainless steel header. Dyno-jet carburetor kit

This RC does sport an aftermarket exhaust, but as stated the owner does still have the original so this one could be put back to 100% original if so desired. For me with 14,000 miles it wouldn’t have to be a garage queen. Because for the price your going to pay, to park this one in the garage, riding it a few times a month isn’t going to hurt your wallet one bit. I’ve talked to the owner several times and he was super helpful and answered all of my questions. We don’t make it a habit to call sellers of RSBFS before making a post, but I had a genuine interest in this bike, but in the end decided it was too much for me to chew on at this point and time. So should you be interested in a low priced piece of Honda HRC history give Gene a shout and listen to what he has to say about his RC. And as you can imagine, he’s had a lot of interest already so don’t delay!

Cheers!

2007 Bimota DB6 LE Delirio Azzurro for sale on Ebay.

I must admit I’m usually not a huge fan of Bimota design, but I really like this one. Bimota paired a Ducati 992 V Twin with their stellar design and this DB6 LE is the result. New, used or slighty used with 219 miles Bimota’s are usually priced well out of my price range and this one is no exception. Retailing for around $30,000.00 this Delirio Azzurro isn’t for the faint of heart or the guy who has a skinny wallet. But, don’t run away just yet because you can buy this LE for a mere $25,000.00 and save thousands . Bimota only produced 23 of these and did so in honor of the Italian soccer team for winning the World Cup. That’s a pretty good honor eh?

The “Azzurro” Limited Edition DB6.

The Delirio, Bimota’s “naked” bike, the DB6 has been stripped of anything unnecessary and features highly technical chassis innovations. The front wheel features a 12.5 inch wavy disc, a Marzocchi Corsa fork and 4-pot radial Brembo callipers. The trellis frame and swing arm are linked by aluminum plates. Quick steering, instant punch from the 992 cc air-cooled V-twin Ducati 1000DS engine make the front wheel lift instantly. But the 375 lb beast has no problem stopping with such powerful brakes. The Delirio delivers outstanding performance, engine and framework, complimented by an agressive but comfortable riding position

Some info from the listing:

This bike has been housed in door garage, maintained in perfect condition and has extra carbon fiber parts, which are included. This bike has only traveled 219 miles.

Only 23 in the world and superb styling make this LE Bimota one of the rarest that the small Italian company has produced. This is an opportunity for any collector interested in Bimota’s. You can .

Cheers!

1993 Honda NSR 250R MC21 for sale in La Jolla, CA.

Owned and submitted by Harrison this sweet little gem has 16,000 on the clock, has new tires and is 100% stock. Apparently, Harrison imported it and has owned it since new. He tells me it has been well cared for and by looking at the pictures I can’t say I disagree. With all of these two strokes floating around RSBFS it’s making me crazy and I might do something silly to park one in my garage.

The MC 21’s introduced the Gullarm swing arm to the NSR line and I’d say it is the coolest thing next to a single sided swing arm. 1993 was the last year for the MC21 before the MC28 went on sale in November of 1993 as 1994 models. My favorite NSR is the 1990 SP, but that’s another story for another post.

Here are the pictures:

From the listing:

1993 Honda NSR 250R. California title and current registration.
This NSR was purchased new in Japan and was imported to the US by original owner. It’s entirely stock with all original plastics, front and rear seats, pipes, airbox, foot-pegs, suspension, oil injection, and tool roll. Compression 160/161. 16,000 miles. New front and rear tires, new windshield, and new battery

Interested? This one is listed on the San Diego CL and is priced at $7,000.00.

Cheers!

- Cagiva Mito 125
- Aprilia RS125
- NSR 250 MC 21 or MC 28

- Ducati 916

Take a look at the long list of upgrades on this RS:

Ohlins, Arrow, Woodcraft along with some super sticky Michelin Power Race Rubber make this one ready for the track or street duty. Personally, I’m killing some canyon mosquito’s with this one. It is priced a little higher than most RS 250’s we’ve posted, but it offers a lot and looks to be in great shape. I appreciate the full size high res pictures. It always make me wonder what a seller is hiding by posting up low light or fuzzy pictures. Adam has his bike listed on the LA Craigslist and you can view it here.

Cheers!

Feast your eyes on one of the most coveted Ducati Superbikes of all time: This very rare, and in the U.S., 1992 Ducati 888 SP4 for sale on the ducati851and888.com forum:

quote from the forum listing:

Due to health reasons, I am having to sell both my Ducati motorcycles. My 996 SPS has now sold, but I have decided to list my 1992 888 SP4 for sale on this forum first in the hope that a fellow forum member will purchase it before going to other usual routes. It has covered 40,220 kms (25,000 miles). I am the fifth owner since brand new. It has a complete documented service history dating back to the first owner. It had a major service carried out by JHP Ducati at a cost of £1400 in April 2008. It was first owned by the service manager at NCR, Italy back in ‘92. The original owner’s manual, warranty booklet and service booklet have always followed the bike. Over the years, the following tasteful modifications have been carried out by the various owners:

- 5 Spoke black Marchesini magnesium wheels
- Brembo billet brake & clutch master cylinders
- Gia Co Moto billet rear sets
- 888 SPS rear brake set-up
- Ohlins steering damper
- CF exhaust hangers

The bike is in beautiful shape and has not been in any accidents. Currently runs on a 14/39 sprocket setup. I want to say that it’s one of only three, maybe four SP4’s in the United States. I guess that makes it pretty rare. Also provided with the bike are the original black three spoke wheels, a brand new SP4 gas tank (rare), if I can find them, the OEM rearsets and last, but not least, an 1993 888 frame from a US 888 SPO that has been powder-coated white but with the 17 digit VIN number still visible which comes on a clear title. Knowing how rare these bikes are in the US, the overall condition of the bike, the proper adult Ducati mods carried out and the service history provenance, the selling price of $31,000 obo reflects all of this.

By now you know I’m Ducati Superbike fan boy, and porn like this really gets me going! Naturally only serious collectors need apply, and for the rest of us, enjoy the pictures!

And here’s some more SP4 goodness from other spots around the web (not the bike in the listing):

Here’s a great dialog on the Ducatisti.co.uk forums on the difference between the SP4 and SP5

And here are some books at Amazon that are relevant to the Ducati Superbikes of this vintage:

Our thoughts are with the current owner and hope his health conditions improve.
