Practically an RSBFS staple, the NC30 is always a welcomed treat. While much nicer than the last NC30 we posted, it might be a bit of a stretch calling it fully restored as advertised. On the other hand I’d be proud too as it’s obviously been cleaned up a lot more than some of the…
Here in the good ol’ US of A, 250cc motorcycles are generally lumped in with scooters in terms of the respect they get. And while scooters may be fun to ride, no one wants to be seen doing it. And two-strokes? Emissions legislation killed those by the early 1980’s so most Americans’ experience with smokers…
Update 10.13.2014: We last saw this bike for sale in 2012 but it’s back on eBay with an opening bid of $1,900, from the original seller I believe as well. Thanks for the heads up Marty, -dc I bet at first glance you thought that was an old NS/NSR of some sort. For the most…
When it comes to making risky technology bets in the search of performance, Honda remains unparalleled in the world of engineering. Having offered every conceivable engine configuration possible over the years, Honda has always been about reaching further, exploiting rules where possible, and owning the competition.

It’s not all about two strokes with a side of ring-a-ding ding when it comes to rarities and imports. Models with actual moving valves (disk and reed valves notwithstanding) also qualify.…
Even the Ninja fears a Hurricane. Classic advertising from a quarter century ago. The Hurricane was Honda’s answer to the liquid cooled, inline four, middle weight sport bike question. Competing against the ultra-successful Ninja 600R, the CBR600 held its own. While styling was a bit pudgy when compared to the edgy look of the Kawasaki,…
Like a lot of riders here in the states, my introduction to sportbikes began with bikes above 500cc. But thanks in no small part to RSBFS I am getting more into the 400cc, 250cc and even 125cc range and have even convinced my girl to allow me to add a two stroker to my little…
While everyone swoons over the RWB version of the original 900RR, this one wouldn’t get kicked out of bed in my book. Seller states that it has a little less than 6k miles and the overall condition suggests this could be accurate. The listing is short on detailed photos but from what is provided, it…
