When it comes to limited edition Ducatis, the Senna edition ranks right up there as something special. Devoid of the marketing exercises of the Nieman Marcus or Matrix editions (distinguished only by paint), the Senna was a carbon fiber clad version with Ohlins suspension. Proceeds of the sale of the bike went to Ayrton Senna’s…
When it comes to sport bikes, few manufacturers generate the kind of response as Ducati. For some, these machines are the mecca for the knee-dragging faithful. For others they are over-hyped, over-priced and over-represented on the pages of RSBFS. To be fair, both sides have merit. Ducati has made an indelible mark on the motorcycling…
Bimota’s website describes the Tesi 3D as “Emotion Technology” and I don’t think they could have found two better words. Bimota’s are all about emotion and the Tesi 3d is an obvious engineering/technology exercise. This example is located in the U.S. and has had a whole 775 miles put on it. Put the calls on…
Take classic Italian styling and design, and merge it with Chinese money and manufacturing efficiency. Throw in a slightly odd 3-cylinder powerplant, a rear-mounted radiator, and the best possible components across vendor shelves. Replace aluminum with magnesium. Toss in a dry clutch.

If Nirvana-style Seattle grunge was hot when you were in high school, chances are you missed some of the most epic factory racing efforts on two wheels. This ELR – or Eddie Lawson Replica…
Another RSBFS fan favorite is the early ZX7-R and this example looks very tidy. It has a few aftermarket add-on’s but is mostly complete. Considering it’s age and having covered 16k miles, it’s in remarkable shape. Hat tip to Adam for the spot! dc 1992 Kawasaki ZX7-R for sale on eBay from the seller: I…
What we have here is a true, multi-national offering. A custom frame and bodywork wrought from the finest craftsmen Rimini, Italy has known is powered by the fiercest Japanese liter 750 cc engine offered during this period and is now available in Germany (also known as the land of few speed limits) for purchase by…
We last saw this beautiful machine available in May of 2010 when it was picked up by one of our favorite readers. Since that time, it has only covered an additional 1500 or so miles and the price is nearly the same as it was 3 years ago at $6600. We remarked then that we…
