Update 9.14.2018: This bike has SOLD! Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc Representing maybe the only way to smoke, be cool and rep Lucky Strike, this 1997 Suzuki RGV250V is one of just 120 export-model RGVs in Kevin Schwantz-aping Lucky Strike graphics. The export models got smaller rear sprockets, different airbox lids and exhaust cans…
Update 9.6.2018: This bike is now SOLD! Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc There’s nothing like comfort food and family on Memorial Day, and in that spirit, we present this 1995 Honda RVF400.

In 1974, the Laverda SF2 was roughly equivalent to an R1M, though at the time, twin disc brakes sufficed for high technology. Over-engineered and powerful, the bike in its day was as fast as it was premium. They aren’t easy to find in any condition, let alone fully restored. 1974 Laverda SF2 for sale on…
The seller of this 1984 Honda VF500F Interceptor has taken phenomenal care of the bike over his ownership, but perhaps the best part of this bike was not available in 1984. It rolls on wheels from a CBR600F, which means it accepts modern 17-inch rubber, but doesn’t lose space for useful amenities like a center…

The 1986 Suzuki GSXR-1100 gave the world its first peek into the future of road-going superbikes, showing that big bore engines did not necessitate portly chassis and that outright speed did not preclude sharp handling. Based on the already cutting edge GSXR-750, the 1,100cc Gixxer cut the first mile of trail for today’s featherweight liter-class…
Update 4.28.2018: SOLD! Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc Despite giving up 100cc to the competition, Honda’s mid-’80s GP replica made waves when it was new for its build and ride quality, which proved hard to match for the 500cc offerings from Suzuki and Yamaha. Though the bigger bikes easily outpaced the Honda, Big Red’s…
Well-used Aprilia RSV Milles and RSV 1000Rs can be had for silly money these days, nearly as low as some of their Japanese rivals, but with more power and sweeter suspension. They tend to be a damn sight cheaper than contemporary Ducatis. This 2001 Aprilia RSV Mille R does not meet the definition of well-used…
