Mambatized: 2005 MV Agusta F4 1000 Mamba I know these are serious bikes but I catch myself laughing every time I see the word “Mamba”. I always flash back to the episodes of Wild Boyz where they would put a black sock on their hand and smack someone who was in deep sleep. It…

Ein Sammler Traum: 0 Mile 1998 Yamaha FZR750R OWO1 Google Translation don’t fail me now, this truly is a collectors dream. I really don’t have too much to say here. If you collect Yamaha’s here is your opportunity to own a piece of Yamaha race history that looks just as good as it did rolling…
When Honda Built Strokers: 1995 Honda NSR250R SP MC28 They used to build them and they used to build good ones. As pure street bikes I really don’t think you can find a better two stroke 250. I’ve always considered them the most civilized 250 to own. Keep it stock, run some good oil in…

I think most owners of these pricey machines barely tip toe to their favorite hangout, let alone tempt fate with…
Who Needs Forks? 1992 Bimota Tesi 1D Well, here is another one for the engineering geeks in all of us. If you’ve followed RSBFS for a little while you may have noticed Tesi’s appear for sale on a regular basis. Kind of surprising for such a limited production run bike. One other thing I’ve noticed…
King Carls’ Replica: 1998 Ducati 916SPS Foggy Replica I admit, I kind of get overwhelmed by all the different Ducati variants: SP’s, SPS’s, 916’s that aren’t 916’s and on it goes. All the red starts to blur together. I will also admit I didn’t even know these replicas were built but what a cool story…
Red, White And Rare: 1981 Honda CB1100R These big Honda’s always remind that” homologation specials” did not start in the 1990’s. By today’s standards the CB1100R might seem a bit dated but the list of special goodies is impressive: forged pistons, aluminum fuel tank, aggressive cam shafts, upgraded gearbox and solo seat. Nice! I did…
