Location: Newport Beach, California Mileage: 7,700 (approximate) Price: Auction, $5,000 current bid SOLD for $7300 Even though the US didn’t see many of the cool two-strokes that the rest of the world got, there was at least the Yamaha RZ 350. Introduced to the US in 1984 (costing $2,399 new), the bike was worked over…

It’s been a busy week over at ClassicSportBikesForSale with a handful of awesome bikes posted and still up for auction.
