We have posted before about the Senna version of the MV Agusta 750 and comments seem to fall into two camps; either desired collectible or overpriced version of the standard 750cc edition. The Senna version (which was built to commemorate the life of Formula 1 driver and motorsport legend Ayrton Senna) has as its basis…
Here is a survivor 2nd gen/GSX-R 750 K model located in Plano Tx (near DFW). While the 1st generation GSX-R 750 have already been deemed a classic, the 2nd generation models are really starting to appreciate. Perhaps its because they looked a bit more polished, perhaps it due to the slingshot motors, perhaps its the color…
While the Ducati 916 was a styling bombshell, the standard/Strada versions only really come on the power around 7000 RPM which meant they need to be flogged a bit to get going. Ducati first attempted to resolve this issue by installing lighter internals and high lift cams to create the SP/Sport Production edition. Unfortunately even…
Update 11.3.2014: Back on ebay, confirmation that this was the first bike produced by Dan Fischer – MJG Every few years or so there seems to be an effort to launch an all-american sportbike, one that will compete with the Japanese and European bikes.

Avis car rental used to have an advertising campaign that said “we try harder”. Aprilia is kind of like the Avis of Italian motorcycle brands; they historically have had to try harder, to take the occasional chance on something different. Just before being bought by Piaggio, Aprilia produced several bikes that were representative of this…
Just a quick post this time. This is a 1989 Kawasaki ZX7 Ninja H1. This is the 2nd generation of Kawasaski 750cc ZX/Ninja bikes and the slightly hotted-up version of these (the 750R) would be used as the basis for the bikes ridden by Scott Russell in 1990 to win hat won the AMA 750…
