1999 Ducati 996S Foggy Rep on eBay I’m going to level with you RSBFS readers… this one breaks my heart. You see, it was for sale a mere 10 miles from me for just $4,500! After 4 hours of text begging with the wife, I finally convinced her that this bike was a sound investment and…
Sometimes overshadowed by the GSX-R750 and a bit of an late arrival to the endurance-racer party in the late 1980’s, the Kawasaki ZXR-750 sold well, but few are around today, especially in such beautiful condition. The styling is very handsome, although it obviously helps if you’re a fan of Kawi’s lurid green paint… Powered by…
At a glance, it’d be easy to mistake this frisky little Cagiva Mito for something else… Looking for all the world like a 2/3 scale Ducati 916, right down to the instruments and the transverse steering damper mounted to the headstock, it’s really just that aluminum beam frame that gives the game away.

Whenever there is a conversation about the most beautiful motorcycles of all time, the Ducati 916 and the MV Augusta F4 are always favorites. Tamburini gave us both of them.…
Here is an exceptionally clean Ducati 996s for sale in California. Mileage is low at 1,600 and the bike has the correct 996 triple tree plate so this does appear to be 1 of the 180 produced S models. The Ducati 996 is a bit of a middle child bike; based on the legendary…
Happy Happy…here are two versions of one of my favorite bikes, the Sukuki TL 1000R. The TL is a bike that even today reminds me of the “old” days of motorcycling; big, fast and something that didn’t suffer fools gladly. As noted in previous RSBFS posts, the Suzuki TL1000 series were V-Twins built in response…
