Here’s one we haven’t seen on RSBFS in a few years, a Ducati Paso 907 IE. The recent post by Mike of a pair of first gen Honda 600 F1’s got me thinking about the impact those bikes had other motorcycle manufacturers. Here is one, a Ducati Paso 907 IE. I have heard the styling of the Paso been described…
Here is one we haven’t had on RSBFS since 2008, a Yamaha YZF1000R which is also known as the ThunderAce. 1996 Yamaha 1000 YZF Thunderace on ebay australia The introduction of the Honda CBR900RR/Fireblade pretty much made every other 1000cc+ sporbike look over-sized and overweight. The major Japanese manufacturers quickly recognized that the Fireblade required a response…
Always a RSBFS favorite and a quickly appreciating classic, here is a pristine 1989 GSX-R1100 located in Ontario Canada. There have been a lot of posts here on RSBFS about the the early GSX-R series so I won’t waste time and repeat the previous posts. This particular bike appears to be a very clean and…
Here is one we haven’t had on RSBFS before, a 1st gen Triumph TT600.

Here is a 1st gen CBR900RR/Fireblade with the desirable blue and red bodywork. Although these were produced in large numbers, they 1st gen has started to appear on a lot future classic lists and collectors are starting to snap them up. 1993 CBR900RR with blue and red bodywork for sale on ebay As noted in…
I seem to be on a 900cc theme lately; earlier this week it was the Suzuki RF900, now its a lovely 2002 Kawasaki ZX9R. Back in the early 1990’s, the 750cc class was the configuration that was closest to the bikes being raced in WSB/Motogp. Bikes like the ZX-750R and GSX-750R came equipped with technology…
Here are two (2!) of the ultra rare Mondial Piega models, both from the same seller. For anyone not familiar with these bikes from previous RSBFS posts, FB Mondial was a small motorcycle manufacturer that had racing success in the 1940’s and 50’s but couldn’t translate that success into a long term successful business model.…
