At first glance it looks like any other 749, but what a mistake that is! I love the 749R, because of its shorter stroke the mother rev’s almost like an inline 4 and just has a whole different feel. Built to homologate the 749 in World SuperSport Ducati had to produce only a handful of these…
Okay these bikes are pretty rare, I believe only 535 made in ’79 but we seem to have listed quite a few of these in the past several months which is really, well…weird! Anyway 1979 (Van Halen rocks!), I was working at a Honda/Suzuki dealer and we just got in two of these gems. Both…
Well I gotta tell you, I know these bikes real well and this my friends is the “dogs bollocks”. I’d bet my Max Biaggi blow up doll that this bike is as the owner claims. I’ve scanned the pictures pretty good and this bike looks perfect and correct, right down to the owner’s manual, pillion…
Ahh, probably my favorite bike of all time. Bought my first one in 1995 and never looked back, just something about these things. Like the first “hot” girlfriend you had, the memories never go away nor do the stories. Anyway, enough of that, I know this bike as it came from here in Oregon as a…
Well, we’ve seen a few of these floating around recenty so at least we have some data on prices vs conditions, just search “1986 Suzuki GSXR 750 Limited” on our site and see. I just love these bikes because back in 1986 I almost bought one but opt’d for the GSXR 1100 instead (stupid me).…
These things are…. well, just plain cool. Based on KR’s (Kenny Roberts) YZR500 from 1983 this V4 500cc 2-stroke packed quite the punch in 1985 with about 80hp at the wheel. The bike was quite heavy at about 470 lbs but if you are lucky you can find the super rare RZV500R which was a Japanese…
Wow, here’s a real collectable one for your stable. Back when Bimota was “kickin ass and taken names” these bikes just get more rare over the years. I had a ’78 SB2 that I just sold last year so I have an idea why these old Bimota’s were ahead of the Japanese. Bimota, basically a…
Don’t ask me why, but I really have no idea why Moto Guzzi made this bike. The company at the time had just been bought by Aprilia in 2000 for 65 million euros and Aprilia (I guess) wanted to take the company in a little different direction, hence the MGS01. It was 2003 and I was visiting Aprilia…
