Here is one of the few bikes that all the current RSBFS staff writers seem to really like; a first year Honda CBR900RR/”Fireblade”. Back in 1993, the 750cc class was king of the sales chart and Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki all battled it out on the streets and in dealerships to have the best 750cc bike.…
Rare as hen’s teeth here in the USA, Honda’s little RVF400 [NC35] superbike made it into the country exclusively through grey-market imports, often via Canada. The RVF400 replaced the VFR400 in 1994 and used a smaller version of the bigger 750cc bike’s gear-driven V4 engine. Like the 750, the 400 used a 360° “big-bang” firing…
The Honda CBR400RR we featured last week was never officially imported to the USA, but its naked stablemate the CB-1 was, although in pretty limited numbers and for just two years: 1989 and 1990. It was a strange choice for Honda to make in the land of extremes, where we only seem to like motorcycles…
1979 Honda CBX-1000 on eBay Honda produced the CBX-1000 from 1978-1982 and it was intended to be their flagship model… and how could it not be? With that big beautiful inline six and the trademark six headers it was showing off without even trying. The CBX made 102hp and with it’s surprisingly sharp handling, the big Honda was…
Today is a good day because I am finally able to post one of all time personal favorite bikes, a 1993 Honda VFR 750F in the uber-cool white bodywork. For those readers too young to remember, the early 1990’s was when the 600cc class really came into being, with Motogp-level technology suddenly being incorporated into 600cc…
More appropriately sized for Hugh Laurie than the 954RR he rode in the show, the CBR400RR is a Japan-only model which occasionally finds itself in North America via the grey market. Name-dropping back to the CB400F Supersport ( well, for riders of a certain age ) the diminutive 400RR is updated in every way and…
1982 Honda CX500 Turbo on eBay The 80s were a revolutionary time. Technology was crashing the old school party and promised to make everything better. The Honda CX500 Turbo was supposed to lead this charge, featuring fuel injection, a digital dash and a turbocharger that nearly doubled the horsepower of the standard CX500. It promised all of…
This is a post dedicated to those that abhor rare sport bikes that have been kept in museum quality and never ridden. It’s a homologation HRC special with less than 10k miles. And it has a branded title. That is a deal killer for many, especially collectors. But for an appropriate discount, this could be…
