Location: Wausau, Wisconsin Mileage: 15,900 Price: Auction, with reserve Put this bike into the Red/White paint scheme in 1988 and you have my first bike. Sure, I spent lots of time on my buddy’s dirt bike and a variety of mopeds and scooters growing up. But my first real bike was one of these. I…
For Sale: 1978 Bultaco Streaker 125 The Spanish are a rabid lot – they love their motorcycle racing more fervently than any other nation I have witnessed. That country has also produced its fair share of racing greats: Sito Pons, Dani Pedrosa, Ángel Nieto, Jorge Lorenzo, Àlex Crivillé and Álvaro Bautista just to name a…
Location: Portland, Oregon Mileage: 20,941 Price: Auction, $5,500 BIN Okay, this bike has been modified but also maintained and upgraded. And sure, it’s in Oregon, my home state.

Suzuki Track Weapon: Race Kitted 1996 Suzuki RGV250SP (VJ23) We’ve had a decent amount of VJ23’s grace the pages of RSBFS and of those, we’ve had some ultra rare “V” models. This might be a first though, a fully track prepped 23 and prepped with a lot of true kit parts; not to mention some…
Is It Safe To Post A Bimota Again? 1986 Bimota DB1 Que the music to Jaws. After the great Bimota sell off of the Spring of 2012, I wanted to make sure it was safe to post a Bimota again without angering the RSBFS masses. This isn’t the average Bimota SB so I thought…
Location: Waterloo, Iowa Mileage: 5,220 Price: Auction, with a reserve Saying that there have been a smattering of RZ500’s on RSBFS lately would be an understatement. Scan the last couple weeks of postings on the site and you’ll see plenty of these units. Crazy? Maybe. Awesome? For sure. The RZ500 is an old school Grand…
