For Sale: 2003 BMW BOXER CUP So the word is that numbered and limited edition Ducatis are not rare. After all, they made some 700 of the 998R as posted here (Make sure to read the comments on the 998R to appreciate the rest of this post! -dc). So when I was trolling for something…
Location: Merritt, BC, Canada Miles: 10,343mi (16,645km) Price: Starting at $12,000 (No Reserve) I don’t think I will ever get tired of seeing RG500’s for sale. With a 95hp two-stroke square four engine and a light weight package, what is not to love? The 500cc two-stroke represents something very cool and unique in my book…

Location: Winchester, Kentucky Mileage: 13,394 Price: Auction For those of us who remember the 80’s because we lived it, the Honda Hurricane 1000 (CBR1000) was an impressive bike for those who dared to ride it. I had the ’88 Hurricane 600, which at the time was a serious machine that provided wicked performance. But it…
Location: Evanston, Wyoming Mileage: 1,500 Price: Auction, BIN $6,500 The Yamaha RZ350 Kenny Roberts edition is featured a lot here on RSBFS. The bike only made it to the U.S. for a few years and was a rare two stroke you could ride on the street in the U.S. They are awesome bikes and offer…
Location: Albany, NY Miles: 5,852 Price: $6,800 BIN There is something refreshing about seeing a yellow Ducati, especially one with a white frame. Most of the Duc’s I see are your standard red units.

For Sale: 1985 Yamaha RZ500 “If you are looking for a stock collector piece to keep your other mildly interesting bikes company, move along.

Location: Steilacoom, WA Miles: 28,100 Price: $2,800 with No Reserve Prior to the “V”, Suzuki had the RG250 which featured a parallel twin two-stroke and some anti-dive forks, which were pretty advanced for a street bike at the time.

Location: Marysville, OH Miles: 11,433 Price: Currently $5,034 with Reserve ($7,500 BIN) This bike had me seriously fooled when I first saw the photo. I though RC30 for a half second until I read this description. I was close, but this however is a VFR400R (NC30) and not its famous big brother. Having said that,…
Location: West Hills, California Mileage: 11,600 Price: Auction, $6,500 BIN You can say what you will about wether this deserves a listing on RSBFS.

For Sale: 1982 Suzuki Katana 1000 Located in the great State of Texas is this 1982 Katana 1000.

For Sale: 1989 Martin Brune BMW K1 I’ve know I’ve said it before: I’ve got a thing for frame welds (like these). Actually, for most custom frames in general (reference this post). And this particular find meets both merits quite nicely. Given the rarity of a BMW powered Martin frame, it is hard to believe…
