The Other Senna Replica: 1998 Ducati 916 Senna #297 It might not be one of Ducati’s more popular limited edition models but it sure is a pretty bike. This one hasn’t seen a whole lot of use to ruin those good looks. I had almost forgotten about these bikes since the introduction of MV Agusta’s Senna model. …
Limited 748’s: 1998 Neiman Marcus and 2001 RS I appropriately found this bike while sipping a very nice Bombay Sapphire gin and tonic last night. Have you ever wondered how this bike came about? Neiman Marcus? Well, that does sound better than the Walmart Edition. They were hoping to find that lady out there who was shopping…
Suzuki WSS Glory Days: 2004 Suzuki GSX-R600 Alstare W/700 Miles Yes, there were actually glory days for Suzuki in WSS. I know it is hard to believe now since Suzuki spends about 25 cents in the class. Does anyone remember Stephane Chambon? He was an absolute joy to watch on the GSX-R. As usual, the…
For sale: 1985 Honda Interceptor VF1000R with low miles! This beautiful survivor from the heyday of the Big Four technology wars has less than 5,000 miles on it – and looks the part. One liter of power, gear-driven camshafts, hand-laid fiberglass bodywork, and only a two-year model run make these VFR models very desirable. While…
For sale: 1982 BMW R65LS BMW created the unusual R65LS by taking a stock R65 and turning designer Hans Muth (think BWM R100RS, Suzuki Katana, Suzuki XN85, etc…) lose. The result was a bike with a striking profile and performance, well, performance equal to that of the stock R65 that powered it. Still, the inclusion…
For sale: 1977 Ducati Supersport 900cc Bevel Drive What we have here is what many would regard as THE Ducati superbike. You would be forgiven if your preference runs towards a Desmosedicci or a 1098R; the modern bikes are, after all, higher performance offerings. But back in the mid 1970s, this bike was as good…
Japanese Muscle Meets Italian Engineering – 1997 Bimota SB6R Ho-hum another day and another Bimota. I’m about to take these off the endangered species list. It seems like we’ve had a steady stream of almost every late model Bimota here at RSBFS. Add this one to the list. It is a one owner bike and that…
For sale: 1983 Moto Guzzi 850 LeMans I’m dreaming of an Italian Christmas – one with a 1983 LeMans III. These 1980s Guzzis are very attractive and desireable machines, combining a large V-twin with a stout chassis and brakes (linked, of course). With a long-ish wheelbase and shaft drive, the LeMans is more of a…
