Remember Schwantz showing up at various GP’s with “Lucky Strike” missing from his bike and leathers? Suzuki did too and hooked Australia (yes, it is still there) up with 50 of these examples back in 91. I had no idea these were the real deal until a collector here in the U.S. got his hands one. Yeah,…
Normally we wouldn’t bother with a non running bike with a single picture but not every project bike is a VFR750R, now is it? You know what they are and how much they sell for so lets get the story: Bike is complete. Was disassembled by Honda mechanic to repair spun bearing. The tech was…
And you guys thought we listed a lot of Bimota’s. It has been a dream Fall for buyers in the market for KZ1000R ELR’s. This one is another beauty with less than 3,000 miles and looking like it just came out of the showroom. It apparently is still riding on the original tires as well.…
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…
It looks like Gilera was taking its’ racing version of the Saturno very serious. It was specifically created for “Super Mono” racing throughout Europe. A simple glance tells you there isn’t much in common with the Saturno road bike other than the name. These bikes were bumped up to 569cc’s and apparently some factory…
The twin mufflers tell you something is just a little different here. The RSV Mille SP was Aprilia’s take on a homologation special. Production numbers were right at the rule book minimum; 150. While it looks quite similar to a standard RSV it really is a different bike. The short stroke engine was developed in…
The forgotten one of the limited edition GSX-R’s. The design had gotten old and heavy, they were never imported into the Untied States and only a few hundred were produced; it all adds up to one rare and highly collectible bike. What it lacks is the wow factor of the 89 RR and 86 LTD. Instead…
This seller is either a genius or has perfect timing. That beautiful museum piece KZ1000S1 that sold for over $107,000 left a lot of buyers/dreamers wanting. The S1 was obviously only a reality for those with deep pockets, this ELR could be a reality for a much larger buying segment. Bidding started at $10,000. 1982…
