Here’s my absolute favorite Kawasaki model of all time: the first ZXR 750 R ! Produced between 1991 and 1992 this sample was registered only in September 1993. With 29000km and what appears to be complete original condition (apart from the number plate holder) this is truly a rare find. With a single seat, aggressive…
Ok, I’m getting into some sort of Bimota fetish…I think it might have to do with today’s manufacturers lacking the ability or will, to create some bike exotica. I mean, look at Honda, they are developing only cross overs between motorbikes and scooters. The marketing people might say this is the future but I say,…
A truely special and limited edition race replica motorbike: the 1986 GSX-R 750R LE: This bike is one of the most exclusive Suzukis ever built. These days a few of them in close to new condition have appeared on the market and I was lucky enough to grab one myself. The above sample is sold…
Suzuki GSX-R 750 Lucky Strike 1900 km (!) 5320 $ Here’s a rare version of a not so rare bike: the Lucky Strike edition of a 1992 Gixxer 750: Besides the original color scheme, this bike is also worth the excursion to Switerzland because of its mileage of just 1900 km! Much has already been…

Bi.Mo.Ta. stands for the initials of the 3 founders: Bianchi Morri Tamburini…I guess you know the latter… Bimota always manufactured exclusive (read also expensive) hand made racing motorbikes. In particular Bimota actually realized stiff light weight frames to be coupled with the finest components and the state of the art power plants. The first letter…
Looking for something really rare? Ever heard of an Italian bike built from an idea of the Japanese importer? How about lightweight is better than power…and how about classic looks remind us all of the style of the 60s? By now you might be wandering what the hell am I talking about…let’s play a little…
