Update 8.17.2017: We have been notified that this exceptional bike sold in just 48hrs! Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc Rarely can I sit for a 90-slide show, slowly fading between pictures. But our featured listing for today caught me doing just that, savoring each close-up of this museum-quality 1996 Honda NSR 250 SP. …
Behold, the instigator. The first volley in the sport bike wars that consumed the 1990s, culminating in the insane, brightly-colored crotch rockets of the latter half of the decade and the early-aughts. Before there was fuel injection, USD forks, radial brakes and Power Commanders, there was the original CBR600. 1989 Honda CBR600F for sale on…
The mid-1980s were a transitional time for sportbikes, and some of these seminal machines are a bit less graceful than their descendants. Today’s Honda NS250R MC11 certainly fits that description: it’s nowhere near as sleek and purposeful as the later NSR250, but certainly much sportier than the earlier MVX250F that preceded it, with fully-faired style…
Update 8.15.2017: eBay shows sold for $8,800. Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc This 1996 Honda RVF400R from featured seller Glenn is from the model’s last year of production, and wears a distinctly ’90s livery on fairings that are just slightly sharper than its predecessor, the VFR400R.

The second generation in-line four had a nice bump in torque and slightly quicker steering, but didn’t give up the steady handling and great build quality.…
Most often seen in much racier livery, the 1990 Honda NSR250R / MC21 was a comprehensive update from the previous MC18. This South African example creates a subdued excitement in black with grey accents, and quite original with 3,800 miles it’s a great candidate for re-location. 1990 Honda NSR250R ( South Africa ) for sale…
In the 1990s, Honda had a bit of a problem with their engineers building cool machines the company didn’t seem to know how to sell: the Hawk GT, the CB1, and their retro-styled musclebike, the CB1000F known internally as “Project Big One.” And big it is: those are 18″ wheels front and rear, but they…
When you mention Honda’s endurance race replicas, most folks are likely to think of their iconic RC30 or RC45 machines, some of the best-looking bikes of their era, or maybe the smaller NC30 if they’re more budget-minded. But the VF1000R had endurance-racer styling and a host of sophisticated features to homologate them for competition. Possibly…
