1993 Yamaha GTS 1000 It’s open for debate: What defines a sport bike? Given, this GTS1000 steps a little over the line into sport-touring country, but you cannot deny that it is unique and rare. It also looks incredibly clean and well cared for. From the seller: Very rare find in this Excellent condition. This…
1982 Yamaha Seca XJ650 LJ Turbo Back in ’82, there was nothing hotter than a factory turbo bike. Honda fired the first salvo with their technology-laden CX500T, and Yamaha was close behind with the XJ650 LJ Seca Turbo. Differing from the Honda (and all other factory turbo bikes of that era) through the use of…

Titled 2009 Aprilia RS125 W/350 Miles The seller says this bike is just FUN. I think that pretty much sums it up. I’ve been told these bikes aren’t rare because they are available at your local Aprilia dealer. This one makes the cut because someone happened to get a little piece of paper for it…
1991 Honda CBR250RR If you get your kicks over 12,000 rpm then step right up. These little babies apparently will spin all the way up to 19,000 rpm. Now is it making power up there? Well I’m not sure about that. Actually a test I read said they make peak power around 14,500. I still can’t…
