Good news everyone! Today we get to take a trip to the past, into a time before fuel injection, ABS and traction control, when two wheel slides out of the corners were still seen in top level racing (ala Gary McCoy). This was an era of serious performance that required a feather touch on the…
Today is a good day because I am finally able to post one of all time personal favorite bikes, a 1993 Honda VFR 750F in the uber-cool white bodywork. For those readers too young to remember, the early 1990’s was when the 600cc class really came into being, with Motogp-level technology suddenly being incorporated into 600cc…
One thing regular RSBFS readers may have noticed is how listings seem to go in waves; we won’t have a bike appear on RSBFS for a while and then suddenly multiple ones will pop up for sale. Examples of this include not seeing any Kenny Roberts RD350’s or GSX-750R slingshots for a while, then we…
NOTE: This one sold while I was writing this post which isn’t really surprising because among fans of the Triumph Daytona series, this is one of the most desired. Even though it has already moved to a new owner I think its still worthy of a post. I am a big fan of the…
We last saw this beautiful Bimota Tesi 3d back in January of this year with an eye popping asking price of $50,000 USD. Now its back with a asking price of $28,000 USD which is still $10,000 over the MSRP but goodness, it is striking. To review our post from earlier this year, one…
Here is one we haven’t had on RSBFS previously, a Zane-era Laverda 668 Black Strike. The Black Strike model incorporated all the top shelf goodness of the Laverda marque at the time; a Nico Baker designed frame, 3 sets of brembro brake calipers, Marchesini wheels and a letterbox gas tank that reduces the center of…
We have posted about the ZX11/ZZR several times previously, about how Kawasaki’s monster machine still gives us flashbacks to the scene in Spaceballs where they go to Ludicrous Speed. The big Ninja was and still is a true “hyper-tourer”, a 604lb monster machine with a cruise missile engine. When it was launched in 1990 the…
If you are in the US you are probably not too accustomed to seeing a VFR700, as the 750cc and later expanded 800cc and 1200cc “Interceptor” models have been produced in much higher numbers. The 700cc edition was only build for a few years to comply with a fortunately short-lived tariff the U.S. imposed to…
