It’s springtime across the country, and great bikes are popping up everywhere like spring flowers. We have seen a significant number of great looking FZR400s emerge from winter hibernation. And this particular Alaskan Fizzer comes with spares. LOTS of spares. Yes, it has been tracked. Probably a ton of track days. But isn’t that the…
The Ducati Triple 9 series launch was a bifurcating event. Designed by Terblanche as a radical departure from the iconic 916/996/998 series of bikes, the 999 was instantly vilified as ugly and lacking design focus. The intervening years have been kinder to the design approach, however, and the 999 now stands out as a unique…
A continual fan favorite, the Yamaha FZR400 has long been regarded as one of the best handling motorcycles to come out of Japan. Popular on the racetrack, many of these mid-range Fizzers have lived hard lives. This bike looks to be a bit different, in that it *appears* to be stock and unmolested. If that…
It seems that just as soon as you call something rare and relatively hard to find you start to see them everywhere. Such is the case with factory Turbo bikes. One year only models which languished on showroom floors due to complexity and price, the Turbo era never really lasted. That is a shame, as…
Update 4.26.2014: Posted the first time almost a year ago, this SPS is back with an opening reserve not met bid of $10k. Mike noted that it wore a $17k buy-it-now the first time, so bid accordingly. Also note the comments below as there is discussion about how SPS bikes were sold originally. Links updated.…
Update 4.9.2014: We first saw this F4 750 in January and it’s been relisted a few times never meeting reserve. It’s highest bid on one of the closed auctions was $8400 but it’s back now with a buy-it-now of $9500. Links updated. -dc I absolutely love it when owners take their bikes indoors. It shows…
Up for grabs today is a 1999 Suzuki GSX-R 600 with a claimed link to Matt Mladin. This bike, you see, is purported to have been Matt’s practice machine in the lower classes prior to jumping up to SuperBike. You might have heard of this Matt guy. He won seven AMA titles before retiring in…
It looks like the melting snow in much of the country is uncovering rare gems that are begging to be ridden. While the last RZV we posted probably didn’t have to live indoors due to the snow, today’s bike has low-ish miles, some thoughtful mods, and enough spares to put it back into OEM condition.…
