2003 Aprilia RSV1000 Mille R – Haga Replica on eBay Japan’s Noriyuki Haga was undoubtedly one of World Superbike’s most exciting racers throughout the 90s and 2000s. With a nickname like “Win it or Bin it”… you had to expect fireworks (particularly on the first lap or the last lap!). Unfortunately for Haga, he was…
1991 Kawasaki ZXR750R in the UK What’s wrong with this picture? The classic “K-model” green/white/blue ZX-7R has been a longtime favorite here on RSBFS… but we don’t see these very often. This is the somewhat controversial green/white/RED color scheme that was exclusive to the European markets. As a member of a few Kawi specific forums, I…
1988 Honda NSR250R on eBay The Honda NSR250R should be on everybody’s bucket list of bikes to own and ride before they die. There’s nothing that makes you feel like you’re living your GP dreams quite like screaming to redline and feeling that 2-stroke powerband change your perception of 250s in an instant. While 45hp might not seem like a…
2002 Honda RC-51 SP2 on eBay The 90s were a tough time for Honda on the racetrack. World Superbike regulations allowed v-twins a displacement increase up to 999cc to make up for the horsepower “advantage” that the four cylinder motorcycles had. The Ducati 916 used this to thoroughly dominate WSBK to the tune of five championships in…
1997 Yamaha YZF-750R on eBay As a YZF-750R owner myself, I’m always looking for them and at them. They don’t turn up very often. Unfortunately the YZF-750R will always be overlooked as it comes in between the legendary FZR-750 OW-01 and the drop dead sexy Yamaha R7 and also the revolutionary Yamaha R1. However, it really is a…
I’m sure you’ve heard it before… the term “cult classic” in reference to the Honda Hawk GT. So what makes something a cult classic? Well, usually it’s something that went unnoticed at first and consequently didn’t set any sales records, but as time passed, those willing to give it a chance soon discovered what a…
1998 Bimota SB6R on eBay The Bimota SB6R is possibly the peak of Bimota’s unique formula which was stuffing a big Japanese engine into their own refined platforms. The SB6R took Suzuki’s big and bad GSXR-1100 engine and surrounded it with the best parts possible. It featured an aluminum beam perimeter frame, Anterra wheels, Paoli…
1989 Kawasaki ZX-7 on eBay A few posts back, one of our readers asked where the ZX7s were hiding… so here you go! Most of you will know the history here. Suzuki knocked the rest of the field on it’s heels with the introduction of their revolutionary GSX-R 750 and it took the others a…
