Modern supercars and superbikes have too much power. There, I said it. The only thing keeping 95% of owners from launching themselves into the scenery are the sophisticated traction control systems that do their best to interpret your inputs and give you what you think you want, instead of what you’ve actually just asked for.…
The Ducati 900 Supersport series is one of those bikes that is just so solid that it persists in company that is far more exotic, expensive, and technologically advanced. Even in the day the 900 SS was a bit of a dinosaur – an air-cooled, 2-valved, carburetted throwback to the 1970s – while the competition…
In the fun-per-euro sweepstakes, some riders think the 749 Dark has it all over a 999R, at least on the road. Sharing many attributes of the big brother, the Dark edition still has 108hp, a dry clutch, and admits only to being underdressed in its semi-gloss black paint. This Palm Beach example has been nicely…
Values of Ducati’s wasp-waisted superbike have been shockingly low, considering their status as one of the most important, and most beautiful superbikes of the modern era. Sure, an SPS or 998R might pull decent money, but examples of the garden-variety 916 and especially the more refined Ducati 996 were available for as low as $4,500…
Happy Veterans Day and thanks to all those who have served ! -donn Though MV Agusta is the acknowledged king of special editions, it would’ve helped to already be a very good customer to even hear about the SP-01 “Viper” kit, available for your F4 750S. Finished in Agusta’s blue and silver “special projects” livery,…
By 2001, the entire quarter-liter sportbike class was basically dead, leaving the Aprilia RS250 Cup a bit of an orphan. Yamaha TZR250 production ended in 1995, Honda’s NSR250R in 1996, and the Suzuki RGV250Γ held out until 1998. But I guess Aprilia still had some of the older 90° RGV250 engines lying around, so they…
Suzuki made some nice updates for the 1990 model year, but puzzlingly held a few from the U.S. version. This one-owner time machine appears to have been ridden – but carefully, and nicely maintained. 1990 Suzuki GSX-R750 for sale on eBay Suzuki introduced the GSX-R750 in 1985 and in the first five years made several…
The Moto Guzzi V11 Sport is one of the world’s most unique motorcycles – and we’re not just talking about the color here. Born from a more simple age, yet tastefully updated to modern specifications, the V11 offers all of the Guzzi DNA you desire yet provides for an experience more inline with current times.…
