For Sale: 1978 Kawasaki Z1R Turbo While not necessarily as hot as a WSB-spec GSXR motor, this ’78 Kawasaki Z1R Turbo was pertty hot stuff before liquid cooling became a performance requirement. So hot was this particular model that it was not even a true factory Kawasaki, but rather a tuner bike sold in Kawi…
For Sale: 1984 BMW R65 LS The BMW R65LS was another attempt by BMW to enter into the “sporty” market without building an acutal sport bike (the likes of which would not appear until the revolutionary S1000RR). By restyling an otherwise stock R65 with unique fairing, handlebar, tail section, engine colored valve covers, snowflake wheels…
Location: Leicester, North Carolina Miles: 7,000 Price: Currently $5,590 with No Reserve Well if that isn’t every two-stroke lover’s favorite collection of words to see together in a for sale ad, then I don’t know what is! The RG500 is definitely my favorite of the big smokers, and for it to be a Walter Wolf edition…
Location: Las Vegas, Nevada Mileage: 1,637 Price: Auction, $7,900 BIN The Yamaha RZ350 enjoyed a short life here in the U.S. as one of the few two stroke street bikes to ever grace our shores. And it also made life here as the Kenny Roberts edition, in honor of one of the greatest American GP…
For Sale: 2003 Kawasaki ZRX1200R After the last gneration ELR I posted came under fire for uncertain bits and potentially less than authentic kit, here is a more modern version that the seller makes no bones about not being stock. This is a Gen-II ELR with some major additions that make it look and go…
Location: Central Florida Mileage: 10,384 Price: $6,500 The Suzuki GSX-R 1100 comes up a lot on RSBFS (my policy is if I see one, I post it) and people respond by taking advantage of the chance to take home an icon. Well, here’s another opportunity, and this one is super clean, making it even more…
For Sale: 1985 Kawasaki KZ1000 R Eddie Lawson Replica (ELR) Today’s find is a *relatively* rare ’85 Kawasaki ELR. The part that really gets me is that this bike is located in Budapest, Hungary. How did a replica model of what was a very US-based AMA Superbike competition find its way so far from our…
Location: Cedar Park, TX Miles: 13,516 Price: Currently $7,000 with Reserve in place If you didn’t have to coin to drop on the $22k RZ500 posted last week, don’t feel bad. Here is another shot at one of Yamaha’s 500cc smokers from back in the day. We have seen a decent run of RZ’s over the…
Location: Oakdale, NY Price: $26,495 I am already layering on the Nomex suit, because I know the flames will be coming in full force. I might even shower in gasoline and hand you the match to light me up. It does pain me a little to bring you this bike because the Diavel is a…
For Sale: 1998 Ducati 916 SPS Sorry for another Ducati post, RSBFS fans – we usually try not to capitalize on just one brand too much. But what we have here is something truly special. Any 916 SPS would be worthy of RSBFS, even if it had high mileage or needed some TLC. But a…
With all of the race bikes showing up on the pages of RSBFS, I thought these would fit right in. While not purebred GP racers, the Ducati R models represent some of the most vaunted, most rare, and most expensive of the Italian firm’s line up. Here are three examples, smallest to largest. For Sale:…
For Sale: 1995 Honda RS125 race bike There have been quite a few race bikes coming up for auction lately; some are super rare, exotic factory machines, while some are complete unknowns like the EMC bikes Ian just posted. This is neither. This is an off-the-shelf racer that practically anyone could buy in the day.…
