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!

2003 Aprilia RSV 1000 Mille R Nori Haga #124 Of 300

Filed Under (Aprilia) by Alex on 02-03-2010

Tagged Under : , , , , , , , , , ,

This is a one owner Haga replica with only 362 miles!  Located in Fowlerville, Michigan is a 2003 Aprilia RSV Mille R Nori Haga replica.  This one has been posted for a couple days but I was waiting for the seller to post pictures to share it with you all.  Only 300 of these were produced worldwide with 60 coming to America.  These replicas came with not only the WSB Haga replica scheme but also:  Blue Ergal tripple clamp with Haga’s signature, production number, and WSB text, Akrapovic titanium exhaust with SS collectors and EPROM map, ten additional hp, 6.6lb weight loss (with Akrapovic system fitted) and all the standard features of the Mille R variant.  This bike comes with the standard exhaust and the Akrapovic system.  The seller doesn’t state much other than the bike is in flawless condition and has always been kept in a heated garage.  The pictures seem to easily agree with this claim.  The asking price appears to be all of $16,500.  If this Haga replica has you jonesing, see the bike on the ApriliaForum.com here.

1994 Honda NSR 250 MC28 with Minnesota registration!

Filed Under (Honda, Uncategorized) by Doug on 02-03-2010

Tagged Under : , , , , , ,

1994 Honda NSR 250 for sale on the Minneapolis, MN CL and is said to have a current title and registration.

With a price of $10,000.00 and an average picture it makes this one tough to digest at first glance. I did a quick search on RSBFS.com for past MC28’s and this one might be a little on the high side, but you can be the judge.

Located in Hamm Lake, MN and listed on the local CL the seller doesn’t offer much information other than.

For sale 1994 Honda NSR 250 Mick Doohan Repsol replica bike

Licensed and titled in Minnesota

As the seller states this one is done up in the rare 96′ SP Repsol colors that commemorated Mick Doohan’s 95′ Grand Prix 500cc championship. There’s no mention of mileage, history, type of plastics on the bike i.e. OEM, Tyga or Chinese, but from what I can tell in the picture it looks pretty good. I really like the orange wheels v. the 96′ models black ones.

The 94 MC28’s were the first year for the single sided swing-arm and PGM IV engine management system that was activated by the smart card. The smart card doesn’t fare well with the die hard MC28 fans because they are hard to de-restrict for maximum power output. It was said that Honda used the PGM IV so they could meet the Japanese EPA restrictions that went in to effect in 1994. For whatever the reason, I think it’s pretty cool to have a card to start your bike.

So if you’re getting ready to jump in to the Spring bike market, but really can’t wait until the weather breaks give this one a look. You can check out the ad and contact the seller here

Cheers!

2002 Ducati MH900e Mike Hailwood limited edition in CA

2002 Ducati MH900e Mike Hailwood (#1267 of 2000) for sale in Ukiah, CA

The MH900e (the ‘e’ stands for evoluzione) was a limited edition bike created to commemorate Mike Hailwood’s 1978 Isle of Man Formula 1 Championship.  It was the first motorcycle to be sold exclusively over the internet where customers would reserve their bike online, and then waited for a year or more to have the bikes delivered.  Only 500 made it to the US. Click here for more info on the MH900e.

The seller didn’t give any details, so please for the sellers’ contact info.

When the MH900e first came out I wanted it so badly that I called up my brother and sister, trying to convince them to pool together funds to pay for the required deposit.  That didn’t work back then, but perhaps I should give them a call now.  I’m sure they would be thrilled to hear from me with another bike purchase proposal…

2002 Ducati 998 Bayliss Replica on ebay

Filed Under (Ducati) by Doug on 11-02-2010

Tagged Under : , , , , , , , ,

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.

to view one clean Bayliss replica.

Cheers!

1991 Kawasaki ZX 7R Ninja K1

Filed Under (Kawasaki) by Doug on 31-01-2010

1991 Kawasaki ZX 7R (k1) model for sale on the Houston, TX Craigslist.

We’ve had a few of these over the past few months pop up on our site and I never get tired of them. This particular one was forwarded to us by JC, a regular RSBFS reader and scout. Thanks for the hook up!

The 7R/7RR Homologations are getting a little long in the tooth by today’s standards, but they are still my personal favorite bike of all time. The 96 7RR’s are at the top of the heap for me, but when I come across THE one, regardless of year, that is in the right place, has the right price and the timing is good, I’ll be a proud new Papa :) But, until that day comes I’ll continue writing about them. So here I go…..

This K1 model has been enjoyed over the past 19 years with 31,573 on the odometer. That seems like a high number upon first glance, but it only averages out to 1,661 per year and that is almost an insignificant amount. I think I can do that many miles a year in my sleep.

From looking at the pictures, it doesn’t seem to be in too bad of shape cosmetically and it does have a tasty Hindle exhaust. It also has one of those “go fast” stickers on the tail section that is sure to add a few extra ponies.

Here’s what the owner has to say:

This is one of the 1991 limited edition motocycles. Comes with the aluminum gas tank and performace carburators. Has a few scratches but is in good condition. Has 31573 miles. Engine sounds GREAT and it may need a minor tune up.

I know these are temperamental bikes having the FCR’s and that issue is only compounded by the Hindle exhaust. But in the right tuners hands and an hour or so of Dyno time these will absolutely scream and still hang with most of today’s bikes. Give the pictures a once over and judge for yourself.

Most of the average 7R’s we’ve seen as of late have been priced between $5,000 & $6,000. However, this one is at $4,500.00 and is probably where it should be considering the mileage and current running condition. So perhaps you need a good solid base for a restoration project or maybe you already have a K1 and need some parts, either way this one seems as though it could fill the need. Here’s the link to the Craigslist ad.

1993 Honda NSR 250SP MC21 Rossi Mugello Replica

Filed Under (Honda) by Doug on 27-01-2010

Tagged Under : , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

1993 Honda NSR 250SP MC21 Valentino Rossi Mugello replica with some very nice upgrades.

This sweet little NSR 250 SP was forwarded to us by Rock’n Randall and we certainly appreciate it. I’m normally not a fan of heavily modified motorcycles in any form, but this one had me from hello ;) . Done up in classic Rossi style and based heavily on his 2001 Mugello Honda NSR500; this one is a must have for any Valentino Rossi fan. Anyone care to guess how long it took to lay-out the paint scheme? And hey, if you don’t like the Rossi repli paint scheme it’s being sold with another full set of OEM bodywork. There’s no mention of color, factory paint etc., but more is always better right? The upgrades to this one are both high quality and plentiful and the bike currently has approximately 17,350 miles on it. Give it a look and then check out the upgrades list.

Bike Info/Mods:
Tyga Bodywork, HRC Black Box, HRC Reed Valves, HRC Reed Valve Spacers, HRC Reed Valve Stuffers, HRC, Full Carb Setting Kit, Tyga Lightened Fly Wheel, HRC Race Plugs, Dog Fight Stainless Steel Pipes, Bomax, Motorsport Modified Air Box, Blue Anodized Quick Preload Adjusters, Dizzy MC21 Race shock, NHK Adjustable, Steering Damper, Honda Magtek Wheels Freshly Painted Flat Black, Tyga Step Kit, AFAM Sprockets 14t Front and 41t Rear, DID Gold 520ERV Chain, Michelin Pilot Sport Tires, HRC Race Break Pads, Heavy Duty Clutch Cable, Stainless Braided Mesh Lines Front and Rear, Dog Fight cans and more……..

If the lengthy list of modifications isn’t enough to get you revved up then to sweeten the deal the seller is throwing in the following as well.

I will include all extra parts and spares that I have lying around which include a full set of oem bodywork, bike stands, new spark plugs, extra x tubes, and brand new Daytona digital temp gauge that’s not installed.

All of this for $5,000.00, BUT it hasn’t been started in 2 years and currently doesn’t run. The seller states that it needs new plugs, carbs cleaned and some fresh fuel. However, if you aren’t the handy type the owner is willing to get it going and up the price to $5,500.00. Seller also states that it is registered for street use and both the top and bottom end of motor was redone prior to being stored. So if your interested or are a bigger die hard Rossi fan that this guy….

click on over to the Vancouver CL and check it out.

Just for the fun of it I was going to throw in a video of the The Doctor doing his thing, but I couldn’t find one video of Rossi in action that wasn’t blocked by youtube. Did I miss something?

Cheers!

2000 Aprilia Cup bike on ebay

Filed Under (Aprilia) by Doug on 20-01-2010

Tagged Under : , , , , , , , ,

We love the Aprilia RS 250’s on RSBFS and this one looks to be a beauty. Located Spotsylvania, VA(?) this all stock RS is said to have a new top end and is ready for the track. We all know these are lightweight, fast and look even faster sitting on the rear stand. You don’t find many of these in this shape these days and for good reason. These were purpose built bikes that were good out of the box and when a motorcycle is as good as the RS, everybody has to have one. The Aprilia Cup was in full swing when I was racing in the Midwest and I often thought of buying one, but never did. Hindsight is 20/20 now that I’m middle-aged and a few pounds heavier and long for the good ol’ days. I’m always on the look out for a reasonably priced street conversion so if you have one send it our way :) . This one doesn’t fit what I’m looking for, but it might just be what you’re after. The current bid is $1,225.00 at the time of this post and the reserve is still on. If your in the market for a good looking, all original RS250 you may want to throw your hat in the ring for this one. It looks nice and there are plenty more pictures on the auction site for your viewing pleasure.


A low 3,999 miles!

00 Aprilia, raced in Aprilia Cup 2001-2002, minor scratches, in very good condition, original condition. Ready for trackday or for the street.

I’m not sure about it being ready for the street, but it definitely looks ready for the track or possibly a street conversion ;)

Cheers!

1993 Honda NSR250R MC21

Filed Under (Honda) by Alex on 08-01-2010

Tagged Under : , , , , , , , ,

Located in Tallahassee, Florida is a track-only 1993 Honda NSR250R.  This bike isn’t titled or registered however it looks to be a very clean track bike with recent service and a good spares package.  The recent work listed is:

-New fork seals and fluid (wipers/dust)
-Carbs cleaned and soaked
-Replaced reeds (Boyesen)
-New Battery
-New Reg/rec
-Fresh Paint job

The MC21 NSRs are pretty dependable without an ignition card but don’t support the sexy single sided swing-arm of the MC28.  Some information on MC21s:

Unveiled in late 1989 as the new 1990 model, the MC21 took the 2-stroke world by storm, and completely re-wrote the rule book on how a 250 2-stroke should be built. The craftsmanship was superb, and the new features were groundbreaking!

The MC21 now utilised the PGMIII ECU taken from the legendry RC30 superbike (only now being utilised in GP250 by official HRC NSR’s incidentally!!), and coupled to throttle position and gear position sensors, controls both the timing of the RC Valves, air correctors and ignition advance to give outstanding low end tractability. The PGM-III features a true 3D ignition and a different map for each cylinder.

In keeping with their racer for the road image, the famous Gull-Arm rear swingarm was copied from the RS250 of Luca Cadalora, as was the frame design. Even the mounting point for a steering damper was kept in place! The body-styling was based on the 1988 and 1989 RS250’s, with just a few basic concessions like lights and a rear pillion seat!! The rear wheel diameter was decreased from 18″ to 17″ and widened to 4.5″ to run the latest tyre profiles and compounds.

This looks to be a clean NSR that would be a blast on the track. The asking price is $3,800; a decent price considering there are untitled, un-race-prepped bikes going for more.  See it on the WERA forum here.  See the dealer listing here.

1991 Kawasaki ZX-7R K1 model

Filed Under (Kawasaki) by Doug on 07-01-2010

Tagged Under : , , , , , ,

1991 Kawasaki ZX-7R with only 8,461 miles located in San Diego and 1 of only 200 produced for that year. This bike is part of a larger collection that is being thinned out and I’ve noticed several bikes of this collection on ebay. Although this ZX-7R K1 isn’t perfect, it is still a rare motorcycle that deserves a place on RSBFS. It has a reserve, but also has a $6k seems to be the going rate for ZX-7R’s as of late. Alex posted one a few days ago and it was priced about the same so a recent comparison is available should you be in the market.

Update: bike did not sell; bidding ended at $4,450
K1K1K1K1K1

If you look closely at the pictures that I brought over , you can see where the seller has edited the photos and circled some of the blemishes on the bodywork. I definitely like an up front seller. There are a lot more pictures on the auction if you’re interested in viewing them. I personally prefer a completely stock 7R, but I may not be in the majority on that issue. Some of the things I’ve noticed that have been changed on the bike include painted rims and an after market exhaust has been added. Considering these have Flatside carbs one can only hope it was properly set up for the exhaust. The seller also added a couple of video’s of the bike, which he has done for all of his other bike auctions as well. After you read what the owner has to say give the video’s a look as well.

Being sold to reduce size of large collection.
Getting more into antique bikes.
58 year old owner, former bike wrench and shop owner.
Every effort has been made to show condition of bike with pictures and video.
Can e-mail better, larger pictures directly , on request.
Bike in excellent condition, though no warranty expressed or implied.

In the first video you might notice the endurance race bike headlight set up with one being yellow. That is a nice touch.

Cheers!
