I believe it was 1997 or 98, a good friend and I were in Italy livin’ “Large” (god bless the Lire vs Dollar back then) and we knew one of the guys at Bimota so off to Rimini we headed for a visit. The V-due , pronounced “Vee-Doo-A” (translation “V-2”), was just launched about…
That’s right, 15 miles the owner claims. If the bike is “in the wrapper” then you’ve got yourself a pretty rare one plus the fact that it’s an 03 which here in the US are beyond rare. Hard to tell from the pictures but the bike looks “all there”, the only drawback is that there is…
This particular replica is fairly rare and it was my first Aprilia back in 1995. The pictures don’t do this bike justice; it’s a deep electric purple and fluorescent orange, and totally bitchin’. Doesn’t state the mileage so WTF?? Let’s assume its low and the bike is real nice, then well worth the asking price.…
Well, I still mean “rare” even though I just posted a similar one here last week, honestly that’s very strange. Almost ready for “vintage” racing here we have a 1996 (sort of) Aprilia RSR125 GP bike. Only a handful are made per year and this one has been updated a bit from its original design.…
Here’s another old friend back again, the 750 Paso in “Limited” form. Like a “Members Only” jacket these things still haunt us from the 80’s. Legend has it that they only made 50 of these Limited version but I was never really sure what all the hoopla was about. This one is at least updated…
Yup…you’re looking at the “real deal”, the dominate mother of the 125 GP Class Aprilia became the underdog of the 90’s (and into Y2K) with their 125 and 250 GP bikes. Almost like the “Hope” diamond these bikes are pretty rare as Aprilia only made about 30 of these privateer bikes back then per year.…
1994 Honda NSR 250R with only 5,600 miles What’s cooler then hanging out at your local Starbucks with all the “regular” bikes and pulling our something that looks like a credit card to fire it up, take that Desmosedici! The MC-28 was the last of the line for the street 250 2-strokes from Honda. I’ve had a…
Pass the “Grey Poupon”, we’re headin’ over the pond to find this great piece of Kawasaki history. Starting in 1975 Kawasaki was a force to be recon with in the 250 GP class. Their inline twin with counter rotating cranks made some serious horsepower as Eddie Lawson proved by winning the AMA 250 GP Championship…
