Two Aussie Imports: 1994 Honda RC45 (RVF750R) And 1989 Yamaha OWO1 (FZR750R) I always enjoy reading my email when it starts with, “G’day”. I hadn’t heard from my Aussie connection Chris in a while but he has checked in with a RC45 and an OWO1 down under. They are both imported bikes from Japan and…
NSR Chameleon: 1992 HONDA NSR 250 SE MC21 For Sale Gardner and Doohan wannabe’s, start your engines. Just as Lucky Strike paint catches a Suzuki mans eye, nice Rothmans paint work does the trick for NSR men. I don’t blame anyone for painting their bike in Rothmans colors, they look damn good and bring back…
Remember FUSA? 98 Kawasaki ZX850RR Muzzy Raptor “Run what ya brung” pretty much sums up what Formula USA ( FUSA) was all about back in the 90’s. At any given race you might see a heavily modded GSXR1100 racing against a TZ250. For a year or two there was even Rich Oliver riding a Roberts…

People love their Bimota art pieces and most keep them locked away in the garage. This DB2 has enough mileage on it…
Ready For Restoration: 1979 LAVERDA FORMULA 500 SERIES 1 It might not look like much now but these bikes were the father’s of the single make race series. Laverda came up with the “Coppa Laverda” in 1978 to showcase their new bike that was designed for club level racing. I think they came up with…
Go Fast History: Team Vesco 1972 Yamaha TD3 You really can find anything on eBay. What a neat little piece of motorcycle racing history. I had always associated Don Vesco with going real fast across the salt flats and not around a race track. He was at the track and was associated with some very…
Springtime And Square Fours: 1986 Suzuki RG500 Update 8.31.2011: Back on eBay with one day left. Good catch Mike! It looks like there will be one less two stroke marauding the hills of Kentucky this Spring.
