Update 4.29.2018: Now on eBay as well for $12,500. -dc Bimota’s SB6R followed the earlier SB6, one of their best-selling models of all time, with approximately 1,200 made. The SB6R likely would have been produced in similar numbers, but for the debacle that was the radical, two-stroke VDue. That bike’s failure pulled the whole company…
If you’re a sportbike fan, bikes like the Ducati 748R might seem like the poor cousin to the 916/996/998, a bike you only bought because your funds wouldn’t stretch to the more expensive, larger-displacement version. But no “R” model Ducati really takes a back seat to anything: they were homologation specials, and the 748R was…
When the 999 series was introduced in 2003 as the successor to the fantastic 916/996/998 genealogy of Ducati Superbikes, the world collectively groaned. Far removed from the sexy, flowing lines of the Tamburini-penned predecessors, the Terblanche-designed 999 series was rough and angular. The stacked headlight arrangement made the bike instantly recognizable in the sort of…
Today’s post is for a Ducati FILA 999R in Florida with less than 2,000 miles since new. While the 999 series isn’t hard to find for sale, approximately 70 FILA editions were imported into the USA so finding one in this condition and mileage is quite rare. 2004 999R FILA with under 1300 miles on…
The Ducati 888 filled the gap between the brand-redefining 851 and the legendary 916, bumping the 851’s fuel-injected, liquid-cooled, four-valve L-twin to 888cc. The inbetweener status didn’t phase the bike much, though, as it was enough for Doug Polen to net back-to-back World Superbike championships in ’91 and ’92. Production ended in ’94 as the…
Update 3.15.2018: SOLD IN ONE HOUR! Congratulations to buyer and seller. -dc Please note: Ted from AutoManiaGP has asked us to open the comments on this post in the hopes that the RSBFS community can assist in determining what has been done to construct this bike. There was no accompanying documentation and we would appreciate…
Long ago when V-twin Superbikes made do with a mere liter, Ducati made a smashing revision to the 916 series. Like some other revolutions, it was voted down – but the monoposto 999R is the apex of the short-lived Tamburini design. 2005 Ducati 999R for sale on eBay Ducati produced just 200 of the…
This 1992 Yamaha TZR250R 3XV4 is the last of a bunch in our buddy Gary’s extensive collection of grey-market machines. He’s right up front that this one looks good in a parking space, but shows its age up close. He notes that it has its fair share of scratches and cracks, and says that it…
