Collector Quality Minis? 87 Yamaha YSR50 And 87 Suzuki GSXR50 (Gag 50) I hadn’t seen any mini’s worth posting in a while until I ran across these two one night while sipping a mighty fine gin and tonic. Hopefully those fermented juniper berries didn’t cloud my judgement. Other than a few unwanted stickers they both look like clean…
Italian Teens Commuter Or U.S. Exotica? Titled 1995 Cagiva Mito It is kind of funny how something can be very ordinary in one place an exotic in another. These little Mitos, in my opinion, are classic bikes. Their design/look is timeless much like, say a Ducati 916. Could it be because the same pen designed them? …
Guzzi Exotica: 2006 Moto Guzzi MGS01 CORSA If it looks this good standing still, it must be a sight to see and hear in motion. Can anything really be bad with word “Corsa” in the title? This is as exotic as they get straight from the Moto Guzzi factory to date. Trying to find accurate info…
Collection completer? Restored 1980 Yamaha TZ125G Did I say these were rare when I posted the 94 TZ125 the other day? Well they are, I just look like a fool for finding two in a row. They are separated by enough years that they are totally different kinds of bikes. While the 94 was perfect for the track…
Screaming Good Time: 1994 YAMAHA TZ125 Here is something a little different for anyone shopping for a fun track bike. Although TZ250’s are regulars at the track, not so for its’ little brother. Most everyone seriously racing a 125 is on a Honda RS125. Most of us mortals aren’t that serious about racing and are just looking for…
W$$ Aspirations? 2009 Factory Triumph 675 Here is the cure, if you have the itch to test the waters of WSS racing. I’m assuming that would apply to almost no RSBFS readers (we can dream though) but I’m sure there might be a race bike collector or two that might be interested. This little 675 isn’t cheap…
Cleared For Takeoff: 2001 MTT Turbine Superbike Ram air? Please. Fuel injection? Old news. Nitrus? Childs play. This is one for the straight line adrenaline junky crowd. It’s probably not for the average RSBFS reader but you have to admit you could have some fun with this. I would have a blast asking what class they’d…
Cure For The Winter Time Blues: 2008 Bimota DB5R You know it has been a long winter in the ole USA when a guy stuck in Georgia (me) is sick of winter. Nothing can brighten a gloomy February day though than a red, white and green Bimota. Add some carbon fiber, Ohlins suspension, Brembo brakes and a factory…
