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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
Submitted to RSBFS.com by it’s owner is this fine piece of Ducati exotica. Oozing with Carbon Fiber, Ducati mystique, racing heritage and Ben Bostroms signature on the tank.
It looks to be in great shape and well cared for. The Bostrom 998s is on my short list of bikes to own and I’ll be searching for one of these right after I own a 2 stroke for a year or two. So, if you’ve already owned a few of your dream bikes and the Bostrom 998s is the next one on your list now is your chance. Jami has it priced fair at $12,899.00 (why not make it 12,998? ).
The seller also has a few other Ducati’s for sale and has made a nice video on youtube.
Although we don’t make it a habit to feature standard issue bikes that are made to look like something else, we’ve made an exception to the rule and for good cause.
Submitted to us by a family member of the owner is this extremely nice replica of the Suzuki LE GSXR 750 Skoal Bandit bike.
As you can see it was a tremendous restoration undertaking and transformation of a standard GSXR 1100 to replicate a GSXR 750 LE Skoal Bandit. I’ve looked at both pictures countless times and I’m impressed to say the least. Now obviously, there are some very minor differences, but the integrity to recreate shines through in the attention to the details.
Here are some more pictures for you to look at.
Pretty impressive huh?
Here are some words from the seller:
The bike is fully stock and was fully restored from the frame up by a certified Suzuki mechanic and meticulously reassembled. Paint job is show quality Pearl (picture doesn’t do justice to the real thing!)
Entire engine has been examined by the professional Suzuki mechanic and although the odometer shows 15,594 miles, only approximately 100 have been driven after restoration (tires still new). It’s also been garage kept and covered, maintained, cleaned, and shown! A real classic bike!
The Skoal Bandit was a rare paint scheme for the 750R with only 50 produced. I created a replica of that bike with the more powerful 1100R!
The only way to obtain a product like this is to invest copious amounts of time and money into a project…or to get lucky and buy it from a fool like me who had already done so, just to sell it for HALF the money that was invested!
There are rare bikes that frequent our site on a regular basis and there are rare bikes that are never made available. The Skoal Bandit Suzuki GSXR 750 is one of the latter so as the saying goes “if you can’t beat’em, join’em!” What better way to join them than to fool everyone into thinking that you have officially “joined them”
There are a lot more pictures available for your viewing over at the auction site.
Sci Fi Italian Style 2004 Ducati 998 Matrix Edition
Nice clean Matrix Edition Ducati 998 located in Signal Hill, CA. Bike appears well kept and has some tasteful additions: Termignoni exhaust and Marchesini forged black 10 spoke rims . Mileage wasn’t stated and the seller is asking $6,500.
RC30′s need no introduction on RSBFS.com so I won’t bore you with the specs. This one is a rider and not a garage queen and I commend the owner for using it as it was meant to be used. I asked a couple RC owners what they thought about this bike with a no reserve auction price of $16,000 and they both thought it was a good price for the bike with all things considered. I personally think the price is in line and fair.
As you can see in the picture this RC30 does have the 17″ 3 spoke Dymag, which is period correct, an aftermarket exhaust and it sports a Ohlins rear shock. There are many other modifications to this one and if you’re still reading this you must be interested.
Here is what the seller has to say:
I am selling my 1990 Honda RC30. I never had any intention of selling this bike, but sometime life gets in the way. If you are looking for a garage queen, keep looking. I have ridden this bike as it was meant to be. Never raced and always taken care of. The engine has been modified by Mike Velasco (he built Freddie Spencers Two Brothers bike). It has HRC pistons, jet kit, cams, black box, exhaust, upper radiator, and temp guage, It has the HRC air scoop under the gas tank to bring more air to the airbox. It has a Dymag magnesium 17 inch rear wheel. It has an Ohlins rear shock with ride height adjustment and front fork springs. It has approx. 125 HP at the rear wheel. Steel braided brake lines front and rear as well as the clutch line. New clutch plates with less than 200 miles. It has an alarm installed as well.
I have most of the stock parts as well, including the radiator, rear wheel, exhaust can, reflectors, another stock air box, a couple of used mirrors, the stock turn signals and a couple of spares. I also have a couple of the Honda specific tools.
I am the second owner, but the original owner only had 50 miles on the bike when I bought it in 1993. Always garaged.
It has some rock chips in the front of the bike, the clear coat on the forks should be refinished, the windscreen has been changed with an aftermarket screen. The fairing lower needs to be refinished due to the HRC exhaust pipe. If you know about these pipes, they hang lower than the stock and will burn a hole in the fairing. I took a lot of precautions but this happened anyway.The HRC exhaust can has a dent in it as well. You can see this in the left side photo.
Like most RC30′s, that have been ridden, you can see where the header has scorched the lower fairing. I wouldn’t consider this a defect, but a natural occurring cycle in the life of a RC30. I like these types of Rare Sport Bikes For Sale because when you buy one you can actually ride it and feel the excitement and understand what all of the hoopla is about. I have a hard time understanding the RC collectors who mothball and display their RC’s in the bedroom only to become a cloths rack. I just don’t understand…..
Patrick, the owner, of this fine piece of homologation exotica contacted us to help him sell his R7. So without further adieu here it is.
[applause]
I personally don’t think there are many other Super Bikes that truly capture the racer boy lines like the R7. Ducati’s 916 and Kawasaki’s ZX-7 are a few of the others that come to mind and helped mold that look. I know it’s old hat for most of our readers, but once again if I had the extra scratch lying around you wouldn’t be seeing this one for sale because it would already be sitting in my shop. I’m not going to go on and on about how nice the bike is because the pictures speak for themselves and Patrick does a great job explaining his bike. But truthfully, it’s brand new! What else do you need to know? Yes, the crank was replaced by the factory.
From the seller:
This is a true 1999 Yamaha R7 OWO2, has 280 kilometers on it, never was raced or molested in anyway, I do have led turn signals and removed the mirrors for updated look, I have all original parts to be reinstalled if you wish. Has original tires still, bike has been kept in a climate controlled atmosphere its entire life. One owner and has a clean Florida ‘street legal’ title. I have the complete YEC B race kit value 7k, I have installed only exhaust, air box, throttle, fuel pressure reg., . all the rest is still boxed new(Endurance wire harness , Endurance ecu, fuel controller, race clutch, etc)., just had to help it breathe better and released some HP. This bike had the crank recall done by Yamaha Motor corp.in Cypress California in 2000 . I do have a great box of Original O.E.M parts, (Crankshaft, Connecting Rods, Complete bearing set, Fuel injection , ECU, fuel controller, etc. ) value of these spares is over 18k alone. I am moving and have to let this bike go. asking 20k for all.

You don’t see these come available very often and when you do they certainly don’t come with Yamaha Kit parts. Obviously, Patrick has some pull over at the factory and was able to obtain the ‘extras’. This is a rare opportunity and is available to you- contact Patrick for more information.
Good luck with the sale Patrick and let us know when you move it.
