For this morning’s Track Day Tuesday segment – rapidly becoming my favorite on RSBFS – we have a real life The Matrix moment. Will you take the red pill or the blue one? Because this morning we have two ultra-rare factory Honda customer race bikes from two different sellers. Sure, some of you were just…
1994 Honda VFR750F These VFRs just look better and better every time I look at them. Age is making these finer and finer and I always say Honda has left some of the most remarkable bikes and engines in its wake through time. There’s just something so romantic about winding out a gear-driven V4 and…
Honda’s line of V4 Interceptors was truly all new in 1982, and the AMA Superbike-oriented 750F arrived in 1983. Today’s offering has been restored to a fare-thee-well and treated to colors too subtle for any 80’s motorbike showroom. 1984 Honda VF750F for sale on eBay Honda surrounded their V45 ( cubic inch ) engine with…
Update 4.23.2023: Sold on Iconic for $10,700. Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc Ducati faithful hang on the works of designer Massimo Tamburini and the engineering of Fabio Taglioni and his protege Massimo Bordi.

It’s not just the 919 and 929, even the 954 has seemingly gotten its legs underneath as evident from recent BAT transactions. What makes all these bikes great…
Located in France is an ultra cool, ultra rare Honda CB1100R. While not in the same cutting edge technical league as, say a NR750, RC30 or RC45, the CB1100R was distinctly race-bred on the endurance circuit of Europe. That makes this a real hot rod among the more pedestrian CB set, and the CB-R sports…
The whole concept of “there is no substitution for cubic inches” was challenged resolutely in the 1980s by the advent of forced induction. Essentially boosting the output by shoving more air/fuel into the motor than it could breathe on its own, forced induction was not a new idea – but it was very new for…
Written off as an overpriced toy by many, the re-envisioned Honda Dream 50 was more an exercise in technical engineering and nostalgia than a sales and marketing ploy. Here was a bike that recreated a throwback from 1962, a fresh interpretation of the RC110 – Honda’s first 50cc Grand Prix racer. Exclusively offered in Japan…
