Colin Edwards didn’t ride an RSV in World Superbike, but he did ride for Aprilia Cube in Moto GP, and this edition of the talented v-twin Aprilia was inspired by their unfortunately troubled GP efforts. The Mille was designed to compete in races and in the showroom against, and grab a slice of Ducati’s v-twin…
Sometimes overshadowed by the GSX-R750 and a bit of an late arrival to the endurance-racer party in the late 1980’s, the Kawasaki ZXR-750 sold well, but few are around today, especially in such beautiful condition. The styling is very handsome, although it obviously helps if you’re a fan of Kawi’s lurid green paint… Powered by…
Update 7.7.2015: I’ve been notified by the seller that this bike has sold. Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc Built between 1996 and 2001 and powered by a 499.7cc two-stroke v-twin, the NSR500V2 was the stablemate of Honda’s V4 bikes, and provided a simpler, less expensive option for privateer racers. Cheaper to run and easier…
We don’t often feature custom bikes here on RSBFS. Custom bikes are often so in love with their own custom-ness that they feel the need to shout about how special they are. Walt Siegl’s Ducati Leggero, on the other hand, has a polished, production-quality, as if Ducati continued making the Sport Classic line. The devil,…
At a glance, it’d be easy to mistake this frisky little Cagiva Mito for something else… Looking for all the world like a 2/3 scale Ducati 916, right down to the instruments and the transverse steering damper mounted to the headstock, it’s really just that aluminum beam frame that gives the game away. Ironically, the…
The GS1100ES was the last-hurrah for Suzuki’s twin-shock sportbikes, a forgotten middle child sandwiched between the classic, Wes Cooley era GS1000S and the modern icon GSX-R. But for a few years, this was as good as it got. And it established the template for the later GSX-R: it wasn’t the most powerful bike, but it…
Update 6.18.2015: The owner has contacted us to update that this bike is sold. Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc Today’s Featured Listing Bimota SB8R could be considered one of the marque’s most successful modern models, although you’re still looking at a low-production Italian exotic, with approximately 150 built. After the V Due debacle, it…
Designed as something of a poor-man’s Ducati 916, with a trellis frame clearly intended to evoke that more exotic bike, the Yamaha TRX850 is a rare and odd duck in the US. It’s far from beautiful, but possesses a chunky charisma, and although it was never imported to North America, these aren’t particularly rare overseas.…
