Modified And Titled RG500 In CA

It may not be the unmolested beauty queen you have been dreaming of but it sounds like it has some nice mods made to it.  I think a proper paint job would probably do wonders. 

Read on for details from the ad:

1986 RG500 with big bore kit by Rick Lance (http://www.lancegamma.com/) kit so approximately 570 cc. Chassis aligned by GMD Computrak. See link: http://www.gmd-computrack.com/This is an extremely strong running RG. I have owned three of these bikes and this is by far the strongest probably due to the big bore kit although my other ones were modified as well. This bike has Suzuki Katana wheels to accommodate larger rubber, a very common modification, as well as expansion chambers, air filter lit, EBC rotors and pads, steel braided brake lines, Fox rear clicker shock, GSXR upside down forks and a couple of other modifications that I cannot think of at the moment. The bike currently has a vintage GSXR front fairing with the dual headlights. I took these pictures prior to the installation of the side fairing pieces which will be installed prior to the sale of the bike. All this bike really needs is cosmetics to make it a show stopper besides probably adding close to $3000 in value to the bike which will only appreciate over time. I had planned on putting on all new bodywork from http://www.lancegamma.com/and having it painted in the livery of the racing RG500′s or RGV500′s of the day. In fact, I still have new in the box the full Lucky Strike decal set that was used on the Kevin Schwantz RGV500 when he raced that particular bike. If you want to get an idea of what it would look like just Google Kevin Schwantz RGV500 Lucky Strike. I also have some additional parts that come with the bike as well; some rough bodywork, gas tank, as well as a trick banana style swingarm from an RGV250. The bike is legally registered in California and it is currently in non operational status so there are no penalties for back registration. Needless to say, I also have the clear and cloud free title to the bike. I cannot describe in words what it is like to ride one of these bikes when it comes on the pipe other than to say it is a rush like no other. You really have to experience it yourself.

 The seller is asking $8750 for the old square four and the bike can be found here on Craigslist.

This is a freshly restored TZ250A from Washington on eBay!

Bike:  1974 Yamaha TZ250A

Location:  Camano Island, Washington

This TZ250A comes to us from the same seller who is parting with his RG500.  They appear to be liquidating quite the desirable motorcycle collection and I wouldn’t hesitate adding them to your favorite sellers list.

This TZ250 has been completely gone through with a fresh engine rebuild, new bodywork/paint, NOS rear shock, redone expansion chambers and a redone tank.  A small spares package is included.  This A model looks perfect with it’s wire wheels and large disc breaks, which were changed for discs on the C variant.  This should definitely be considered if you’re looking for a TZ to vintage race or just add to the collection.  See the other TZ250′s that have crossed our desks here.  See this bike on eBay with a $10k opening bid.

This is a draw dropping RGB500MK6 on eBay!

Bike:  1981 Suzuki RGB500MK6

Location:  Camano Island, Washington

If you’re into motorcycles, it doesn’t get much more serious than this!  According to the seller, this bike was purchased new from Heron Suzuki in 1981 and run at Daytona & other U.S. National events.  It’d be nice to know more details but, I’m sure you can contact the seller and he could speak of this bike’s history for sometime.  This bike has just been fully restored using all OEM parts and comes with an extensive spares package.  This bike has been restored to Heron Suzuki GP colors and looks fantastic.

This bike looks ready to go and hopefully the spares package can make it feasible (22 pistons included!) to run the bike at an event or two through out the year.  Unfortunately, I do not know the market on these big Suzuki’s but, the asking price of $50,000USD doesn’t sound completely unrealistic based on condition but, I’m sure the history will play into it’s value depending on who has ridden it.  If you can provide any insight into historic values of the RG/RGB series, we’d love to hear from you!  See the RGB500 that Doug posted previously that had a $60k B.I.N. here.  See the seller’s TZ250A on eBay here, too.  See this RG500 on eBay .

1985 Yamaha RZ-500

Original Condition And Titled RZ500 For The Taking

Ok RZ fans, this is one of those bikes.  If you have been waiting for an original condition RZ5oo to come along, take a look at this.  RZ500′s pop up for sale on a semi regular basis but ones that have not been tinkered with are a rare find indeed.  From the sound of it, this one has only had a set of aftermarket pipes installed and the jetting to go along with it.  You really have to look a the pictures.  This thing is 25 years old and look just look at those pictures with the bodywork off.  Clean as a whistle.  The bike only has 10,665 miles/kms (not sure which) as well.  The seller states that he is only the second owner of the bike and didn’t ride it much.  I believe him, the pictures don’t lie.

A thing of beauty:

Auction details:

This is the pride of my collection.  Clean Clear Legal New York state title in my name.  I have owned this RZ for a decade, and it spent most of its time just collecting dust.  This Spring I did all the service work to ride her this year but a leg operation ended that.  Service included: fork seals and carbs, air filter, brakes and fluid (front) and new tires.  Yes, the oil injection is working and other than the Spec 10 exhaust and jets, this RZ is 100% original, NOT a repaint, NOT restored!  YES, all lights and electronic work perfectly!  You can ride this bike anywhere!  Please look closely at all the pictures and watch BOTH VIDEOS to see what you are bidding on.  The TEST RIDE VIDEO demonstrates just how good (and fast) my bike runs.  I don’t need to tell you how rare this bike is and what it is worth.  I am not giving it away and you may call me  with your questions.  Shipping is at buyer’s expense.

As he states in the text be sure to link on over and see the videos he has included in the auction.  I know some clean/low mile RG’s have gone for over $10,000 lately.  I would assume this would fetch a similar price.  I would assume even with a saturated bike market this RZ will still command a high price.  You simply don’t find 25 year old bikes that have not been modified or molested.  To top it off it is a titled 4 cylinder two stroke!  Enough said.  Get the check book out, break out the credit card, sell the stock and jump on over and .

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!

2009 Aprilia RS125 Titled and ready to go!

Location: Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
Mileage: 175
Price: $6,500.00

So, I’ve become a slacker as of late and to make matters worse I’ve been hoarding a few bikes for myself along the way. Some I hoard in hopes of winning the lottery and others I hoard… well in case a windfall comes my way via a distant relative. NOT!

Anyways, enough of my day dreaming. This RS125 brings the goods and the first thing is it has a title , but perhaps the best thing is this RS125 has set many speed records. I know what you’re thinking in that a 125 can’t be that fast, but when you consider it has a whopping 34hp and has pulled to 100mph I’d say that is pretty impressive. Doug (not me) tells us that he has invested countless hours and an additional $2,500 dollars in his RS125. As everyone knows speed doesn’t come cheap. Cheap speed comes from losing weight, but when you start off with a 280# bike it’s hard… okay, almost impossible to shed any considerable weight. I’d say your losing ounces instead of pounds.

Have a look at a this little bike that “can and has” with 11 speed records to it’s credit.

From the seller:

2009 Aprilia rs125
Street titled in PA
Arrow exhaust
34mm Carb
V Force reeds

Bike will be available at the end of October.

Bike has had proper break in on road and Dyno

Bike presently holds 11 land speed records

Delivery may be an option

Now over 8000.00 invested in the bike and parts. Excluding labor, title headaches and dyno time.

This bike has every upgrade you would want, without going overboard and affecting reliability

With a base price of $5,500, $2,500 in parts and a major headache at the BMV out of the way; $6,500 sounds like a super sweet deal.

If you’re a fan of small displacement bikes and looking for a well sorted, low mileage Ape hit up Doug at

Good luck with the sale!

Cheers!

1993 Cagiva Mito In North Carolina

In my opinion, the Mito is one of those bikes that just has classic lines.  I actually favor the styling of the older model Mito’s like this one.  Nothing wrong with the Cagiva red either.  This one has a few issues but might be had for a decent price.  The seller is asking $2000 or best offer for the little red beast.  No mention on title status.

From the ad:

1993 Italian race bike Cagiva Mito 125cc 2 stroke. I have not had it run in years brought it with me from Italy needs some work but is in good condition. Think the stator is bad and missing the intake manifold, was lost while at a shop and never got it back before i moved to the US.

Help keep two storkes alive, give the man a call.  You can find his number here.

This is a fantastic looking NF4 RS125 on eBay!

Bike:  1993 Honda RS125

Location:  Lexington, Kentucky

This RS125 looks to be in very good condition being finished in a “House Of Color” (Kolor) candy blue scheme with silver Honda wings.  This RS hasn’t been run in at least three years but, was run at Daytona in 2005.  The spares included with this bike include an extra cylinder, plugs, sprockets, rings, fork seals, gaskets, clutch plates and some other items.

Because it’s been sitting for so long, and these bikes are so simple, I would suggest going through it before running it just to be sure everything is as it should be.  I think I’ve said it before but, these NF4 RS’s aren’t competitive with the ’95+ NX4 RS’s.  However, these bikes are less temperamental than the later bikes and make fantastic track day bikes or vintage machines if you have a sanctioning body that has a separate class for them.  The ’93 bikes wear the same front tire as the newer bikes but, have a smaller rear wheel (By a 1/2″).  Tires can still be easily sourced and I’ve actually been told that the larger size will fit on the narrower rim–however, I have no idea how that alters the handling.  These bikes are perfect if you want to play a Gran Prix legend on a budget.  Based on the condition and spares, I would expect to see this bike go for right around $2,500.  See other RS125s we’ve featured here.  See this RS on eBay .

2006 Aprilia RS125

Location: Pensacola, FL
Miles: 1,450
Price: $6,500

Stumbled across this little diva while trolling CL for RSBFS. I’d say it fills our needs pretty well and the ad says its ‘street legal’ so I assume it has a title of some sort. It’s a little on the pricey side, but for the most part a title is worth 1,500 to 2,000 clams on any given day which would put this one right in the mix.

Aprox 1,450 miles – Street legal
Showroom Kept
Many extra’s added

I definitely prefer this scheme over the orange Spanish one..

The ad is a little scarce on info, but you can contact the seller via the CL ad here.

Cheers!

1986 Honda NS400R 3 cylinder 2 stroker

Make: Honda
Model: NS400R
Mileage: 15,000
Price: $2,550 did not sell asking price was 5,500

In the world of 2 strokes you have your milestone bikes, your cool bike, your fast bikes, your 4 cylinder 500′s, your 2 cylinder 250′s, BUT how about a 3 cylinder road going and titled NS400R?

RSBFS reader and all around good guy Terry has his NS400R up for grabs and it looks to be pretty darn nice. I can say that I have first hand experience in buying a bike from Terry as he sold his wonderful 7R to me this past May (Thanks bro!)

Here’s the NS400R:

This is a nice ns400r rothmans. this bike just had a high end re-paint by one of the best shops in Arizona back to stock Rothmans colors. It is a japanese model with 25k kilometers or 15k miles. Runs great, no problems at all. It has a CLEAR New Mexico title. It is not perfect, i am sure it has been dropped at low speed some time in it’s life, but there is no damage from that at this point. It has a new rear tire, chain and sprockets. The front sprocket is one down from stock as it was way overgeared when I got it. The exhaust cans are not stock , I think they are JHL from Japan. The overall chassis could use some touching up of paint to make it show quality, like the fork lowers etc. The front fender has the little fairings that were on the japanese models as well, but I left them off because it looks cooler without them. They are newly painted as well. I left off the mirrors, but I have those too. Feel free to contact me with any questions or offers, I am starting at 5500.00 . I will need to get at least that for it.

And there you have it in the sellers own words. Believe me when I tell you that Terry knows motorcycles very well and is telling you what his NS400R is all about. If you have any questions about it you can jump over to the auction and he has his phone # listed there. I didn’t list here because I didn’t want him to receive 100,000 prank phone calls this month.

Just in case you’ve never heard a 3 cylinder 2 stroke- turn up the volume and hit the play button.

Cheers!
