Mid-1980’s Honda covered the flanks of their bigger VF-series sportbikes with the sharp-handling VF-500F. This example had low miles before an unplanned break in the action, but has had inside storage and is looking for a new home. 1986 Honda VF500F for sale on eBay While Honda’s double cradle of square tubing might not be…
It’s hard to fathom exactly how far motorcycle design has come in the last 38 years without a concrete comparison. I could spill superlatives and adjectives for the next 600 words and still not touch it. Instead, please Google “Ducati Panigale V4R” and compare what comes up to the bike you see here. I’ll wait.…
Even though there are prodigious cold fronts trained on both coasts, planning ahead is always in season. Here’s a little review of RSBFS’ recent features: Let’s start with a couple of smokin’ race machines – https://raresportbikesforsale.com/featured-listing-2018-honda-nsf250r-moto-3-race-bike-for-sale/ https://raresportbikesforsale.com/featured-listing-2017-suter-mmx500-for-sale/ From the 1980’s we have two classic supersports, plus a unique Harley-Davidson – https://raresportbikesforsale.com/sponsored-listing-zero-mile-1-of-25-road-going-1994-harley-davidson-vr1000/ https://raresportbikesforsale.com/sponsored-listing-1983-honda-cb1100f/ https://raresportbikesforsale.com/featured-listing-1982-honda-cb750f-super-sport/ These three…
Styled like a Japanese Ducati Monster, Honda’s Hawk GT actually beat that bike to market by several years. It may have lacked a bit of sex appeal, but offered incredible versatility, reliability, and even some steering lock… The Hawk could scratch, commute, do some light-duty touring and, with a bit of work, made a great…
Update: eBay shows sold at $15,500. Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc The 1979 Honda CBX, a six-cylinder behemoth dressed up as a buttoned-down commuter, was an exercise in weird, but impressive, flex from Honda. As the long run of the original CB750 was at its peak, Big Red decided it was time to show…
A perennial mainstay on the pages of RSBFS, the Honda NSR250R should require no major introduction. Often considered the darling of the quarter liter smoking set, the 90 degree vee twin is named similarly to – and looks quite a bit like – Honda’s race-only NSR250. However the similarities are only imagined, as the two…
While the world was off building 250cc and 500cc two strokes, Honda went their own way. Sure they built 250cc repli-racers (and even 125 and 150cc varietals). But when it came to the big two stroke, Honda took a cagey direction and built a mini hot rod. Emphasizing all the great points of a 250cc…
