Update 7.3.2018: Last seen in November of 2016, this 0 mile 2004 Aprilia RS250 is available for sale again on eBay with a buy-it-now of $14k. The previous auction ended and as commentors on this post noted it was for sale elsewhere for $15k at that time. Good luck to buyers and seller in 2018!…
Update 7.11.2018: Seller reports that this bike has sold to an RSBFS reader. Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc Looking very much like an attempt by Honda to out-Monster Ducati, today’s Featured Listing Honda Hawk GT in fact predated the Galluzzi-designed machine by several years. The Hawk was also known as the NT650 and Bros…
Some bikes take time to find their audience, but the Ducati Supermono was always going to be a classic. Created to compete in the Sound of Singles race series that supported World Superbike in the mid 1990s, the Supermono was a bit of a throwback to Ducati’s past: a pure racebike with exotic components, quality…
Update 8.12.2018: This bike has SOLD! Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc Italian bikes are sometimes accused of putting style before function, but I think it’s more accurate to say that they prioritize performance and style over comfort and practicality… But in the case of the Ducati MH900e, style was far and away the most…

It’s the general sense of wildness, an absolute willingness to murder you if you…
First of all, a big shout out to all of the RareSportbikesforSale fans I met at Laguna Seca over the weekend while working with the guys at the Iconic Motorbikes booth! Was really great to meet you and hear your stories. Also, I apologize profusely for any financial difficulties or domestic drama our little blog…
I’ve spent some time poking around the Pierobon website, realizing that I will likely never own a Pierobon-framed track bike. As the seller mentions in their listing, this Ducati 1200DS-powered Pierobon X60R is one pricey piece of kit: the earlier F042’s frame alone goes for about $3,500. And that’s before you add a swingarm, fuel…
This bike is why I get frustrated by Harley’s modern offerings. I’m not suggesting a sportbike is the answer to their financial woes, but trading on outdated “Bad to the Bone” Sons of Anarchy stereotypes clearly isn’t working. Upstart [irony!] Indian already beat them to the punch with their new FTR1200, exactly the bike I’ve…
