Here is one that has been floating around the net off and on for the last year or so, a 2009 Roehr 1250s (non-supercharged). 2009 Roehr 1250s for sale on ebay Motorcycle collectors typically fall into two groups; those who collect bikes because they enjoy them (which includes “nostalgia” collectors who are reliving their youth)…
Here is a 2002 Ducati 998 Bostrom replica, a bike which seems to be either a “love-it-or-hate-it” proposition for most RSBFS readers. While the design graphics have always seemed a bit overdone, the base 998 (already a very good bike) was upgraded for the Bostrom edition with full carbon-fiber bodywork which resulted in a 24 pound…
1997 Triumph T595 (955cc) Daytona for sale on ebay Here is a personal favorite of yours truly, a 1st generation Triumph Daytona T595.

We have posted both the 750 and 1100 editions previously so rather than rehash what we have previously posted, I am just going to post the pics along with some basic info from the auctions and let readers enjoy/comment.
