Considering just how few Ghezzi-Brian Supertwin 1100s there are running around anywhere, let alone North America, I’ll forgive the “WTF” face your computer or phone’s built-in camera is secretly recording because of an undetected malware infection. You’re looking at what is functionally a Moto Guzzi sportbike, the company’s pushrod, two-valve twin and shaft-drive and dropped…
The issue with a lot of the little two-stroke terrors that we feature is that they’re rare and often in museum-quality condition; original down to the pre-mix molecules. Not only is riding around on 20-year-old Dunlops a shame for a bike’s originality, it’s a pretty much guaranteed emergency room visit. So, too often the compulsion…
Update 8.11.2018: This bike has sold to an RSBFS reader. Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc First or last of a series, both have their proponents – as originally conceived or the final version. This Aprilia RS250 is one of the early Mk. 1’s, a European example brought home by a U.S. serviceman. It’s not…
Update 8.20.2018: The seller has notified us that this bike is SOLD!

The 1190RX has some of the expected Buell innovations and a refreshing level of tech compared to earlier offerings. 2014 EBR 1190RX for sale on eBay Buell had earlier turned a corner and…
This Derbi GPR125 was the very end of the line before the Spanish manufacturer, and pretty much everyone else, switched from two to four-stroke engines for their entry-level 125s. As you might expect, this led to the expected decrease in stinky two-stroke smoke and a massive reduction in fun. 125cc two-strokes aren’t exactly barn-burners, but…
A peculiar bespoke-priced showpiece from the leading volume manufacturer, the Honda RC40 met at the crossroads of rule-bending engine development, enterprise-level manufacturing skill, and large-team design and engineering. Rarely seen on RSBFS or elsewhere, this example has evidently been enjoyed in Ireland. 1992 Honda NR750 – RC40 ( Ireland ) for sale on eBay The…
BMW developed and supported the Boxer Cup series in the 2000’s to showcase their R1100S, and had a special edition Boxer Cup Replika available toward the end of the run. Special livery, suspension and components set the editions of 300 apart from the normal -S. This Jersey native is spotless with low miles for a…
