While these early TZR’s aren’t as coveted as the early 90’s ones, they can provide a lot of smoke for the buck. This one has the classic Yamaha colors, less than 5,000 miles, and the current bid of $2650 is reserve met. That’s a lot of fun for less than $3k! To be totally honest,…
Attention California buyers! Here’s a great looking RZ500 that is described as better than average. It definitely looks like a well preserved original with some refreshed panels. And sporting a fresh rebuild with just 700 miles ensures you’re looking at a bike that is ready for several riding seasons ahead. The seller clearly states that…
It looks like the melting snow in much of the country is uncovering rare gems that are begging to be ridden. While the last RZV we posted probably didn’t have to live indoors due to the snow, today’s bike has low-ish miles, some thoughtful mods, and enough spares to put it back into OEM condition.…
The RZV500 is one of the most popular bikes we post on RSBFS and this is one of the more unique examples I’ve seen. At a glance it is absolutely spotless and obvious that it was a labor of love. Look closer and you start to notice deviations from stock around and behind the bodywork.…

In the late 1980s and early 1990s it seemed that everybody was trying to improve upon motorcycle front suspension design. The working theory was that as front forks have to deal with multiple different forces (suspension, braking, steering), they needed to be extra beefy to handle them all. A better way might be to isolate…
Touted as a museum quality example of the breed, this 1985 Yamaha RZ350 has just over 16,000 miles and still sports the original exhaust and all plastics intact. From the number and quality of the pictures, this looks to be a fine ride indeed! If you’ve been watching RZs and see them float by in…
Is March Madness all about RZ350s and RZ500s? It sure seems that way to me, given the number of fantastic Yamaha smokers we have seen pass through these pages recently. I hope you are not sick of these rare two stroke models, because here is another 500cc monster looking for a new home. When it…
