The bidding on this box is currently in RC30 territory. The bike inside is indeed quite rare – a 1984 Harley Davidson XR1000 similar to the one…
Location: Ashville, North Carolina Mileage: 3,439 Price: Auction, currently $4,200 with a reserve There seems to be a run of Yamaha RZ350’s lately on RSBFS.

For Sale: 1992 Honda VFR400 NC30 This Honda VFR400 – better known as a NC30 – might be going to a new home soon. The new owner will be a lucky man (or woman) indeed! Stated to be fully original and in “museum quality” condition, this bike has just over 9,000 miles on the clock…

The Lost R1? Yamaha R1-Z 250 Where have these darn things been hiding? What a solid looking bike: a two stroke twin wrapped in an eye pleasing package. Simple yet sexy. The RZ-1 is another in a line of Japanese domestic bikes that never saw the light of day on foreign shores. That is…

The seller claims this bike to be the most ultimate and trick NSR in the world, and until shown otherwise, I would tend to agree with him. When these MC28’s came out in 1994, the Rothmans replicas were limited to about 1,500 units…
