Update 8.24.2013: Originally posted in June, this RZ500 is back after failing to meet reserve the first time at $7266. Links updated. -dc It must be some sort of subliminal messaging, but I feel like smoking. I can’t tell you if my craving is for nicotine or castor, tar or octane. Some sort of speed…
The Suzuki Bandit 400, otherwise known as the GSF400, is pretty rare as far as 400cc machines go. We don’t see these bikes often, but when we do they seem to be fan favorites. This particular bike has relatively low miles (7,100), and looks great in fire-engine red. Sporting a Kerker exhaust slip-on and aftermarket…
One of the oddities offered up by performance boutique bike builder Bimota (say that a few times fast), the Mantra was – to put it bluntly – a brand failure. It is probably not fair to write off the Mantra completely, however, as the ovid-tube frame made its way to the DB4 (as did the…
A perennial fan favorite, the RZ500 is one of those bucket list bikes. Never officially imported into the US (but widely avaiable north of the border), the big RZ was touted as a GP replica bike with headlight and turn signals. In truth the bike has often been depicted as a bit more pedestrian than…

Built in the early 1980s and riding the fad wave of boosted power, the Seca Turbo simply never had a serious mission. Based off of the namesake Secas of the Yamaha lineup, these…
Update 8.1.2013: Originally spotted in February, this RG500 had an opening bid of $13,200 with no takers. It’s back and has an opening of $10,500, and I believe no reserve. Thanks for the heads up Mike. Links updated. -dc Ah, the RG500. This is one of the most lusted after rare models posted on RSBFS.…
[text_left]Up for grabs is one really awesome front fender signed by a number of famous racers and suitable for framing on any wall of your house, garage, man cave or hangar. That really cool fender is attached to a 1984 Yamaha RZ350 that unfortunately cannot live up to the promise of the signage up front.…
[text_left]Forget seeing double. I do think I am seeing triple. I AM seeing triple, and I have not even started drinking yet. If a Honda CX650T factory turbo is not rare enough, how about having a collection of THREE of them?! Wow. I love my CX650T, but one of these bad boys is enough for…
