Sold before we went to press, still worth a look – Donn Like buyers of a Gulfstream business jet refer to their Pratt & Whitney engine maintenance agreement that just happened to come with an airplane, the Yamaha RZ500 was built around their smashing V-4 two-stroke. This one has some miles but looks to be…
Racebikes are different than other bikes we feature on RSBFS. Where the goal for many collectible roadbikes is absolute originality, or at least limited, period-correct updates, the whole point of a racebike is that it’s a rough-and-tumble artifact, a bit of living history, and battle scars are okay. If the machine in question is historically…
Update 2.25.2019: We last saw this bike listed by the same seller in November of 2017 for a buy-it-now of $10,500. It’s back on eBay and bidding is underway. Good luck to buyers and seller! Links updated. -dc After a short quiet period, friend of the site Gary in Utah is back on eBay, somehow…
Even though there are prodigious cold fronts trained on both coasts, planning ahead is always in season. Here’s a little review of RSBFS’ recent features: Let’s start with a couple of smokin’ race machines – https://evu.hhv.mybluehost.me/raresportsbikesforsale/featured-listing-2018-honda-nsf250r-moto-3-race-bike-for-sale/ https://evu.hhv.mybluehost.me/raresportsbikesforsale/featured-listing-2017-suter-mmx500-for-sale/ From the 1980’s we have two classic supersports, plus a unique Harley-Davidson – https://evu.hhv.mybluehost.me/raresportsbikesforsale/sponsored-listing-zero-mile-1-of-25-road-going-1994-harley-davidson-vr1000/ https://evu.hhv.mybluehost.me/raresportsbikesforsale/sponsored-listing-1983-honda-cb1100f/ https://evu.hhv.mybluehost.me/raresportsbikesforsale/featured-listing-1982-honda-cb750f-super-sport/ These three…
Of the plethora of loud, high-strung Japanese two strokes that have come of age to be street registered in this country over the last couple years, the Yamaha TZR250 tends to enjoy a reputation as one of the friendliest and sweet-handling bikes of the bunch. They don’t come with the same banshee wail as a…
Having spoken with a couple people about the Yamaha FZR1000 of the late 80s and early 90s, I’ve gotten the distinct impression that, however competent it may have been, it really wasn’t cool in the way the Suzuki GSX-R1100 was. I think someone went as far as to say they were kind of the “nerdy”…
The 1979 Yamaha RD400F Daytona Special made its name by tangling with a breaking wave of magnificent four strokes and excelling in the face of the bigger machines. By ’79, two strokes were supposed to be effectively dead, with emissions and the popularity of the new superbikes rendering them relics of a bygone era. But…
