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…
Looking very 90’s in Honda’s traditional red, white, and blue (hey, wait a minute..) paint scheme, this Honda NSR250R SP will hopefully mollify the two-stroke fans who didn’t like the older NSR we posted up earlier this week. The MC28 was introduced in 1993 and was up about 10lbs over the previous MC21. It was…
While Honda does have a well-deserved reputation for technical innovation, they sometimes seem to intentionally eschew certain formats or technologies, only to swoop in and produce world-beating bikes late in the game, as if to say, “See? Weren’t kicking your ass using a v-twin because we didn’t want to…” The same is true of two-strokes…
Honda’s first-generation CBR900RR, known as the “Fireblade” in Europe, set the stage for today’s bleeding-edge literbikes that see the most powerful engines ever stuffed into tiny, 600-class packages. Prior to the 900RR, it was the 750cc class that really defined the “big engine in a small chassis” philosophy, with 1100cc motorcycles designed more as GT…
1988 Honda NSR250R on eBay The Honda NSR250R should be on everybody’s bucket list of bikes to own and ride before they die. There’s nothing that makes you feel like you’re living your GP dreams quite like screaming to redline and feeling that 2-stroke powerband change your perception of 250s in an instant. While 45hp might not seem like a…
