OK – so what we have here is no Superlight (reference Doug’s earlier post HERE).

The 907 I.E. is the most sorted of the Paso line, almost a transformation of the earlier 750’s. Today’s Paso is a California native wearing paint seeming newer than what lies beneath, but looks like a good first sportbike. 1991 Ducati 907 I.E. Paso for sale on eBay Last-gen Paso’s were finally water cooled and…

Trying to start a motorcycle business is one thing, but setting the corporate sights on a liter V-twin ups the ante somewhat. Voxan pulled this off in the late 1990’s, at least for a while, and gave the imports some competition. This very unusual example looks excellent and located in Britain. 2003 Voxan Cafe Racer…
1993 Yamaha SRX400 For Sale on eBay! In 1993, an almost liter bike sized machine with a funny sized front tire was all the rave and blah, blah, blah #BeenThereDoneThat While Baba was doing his thing, Yamaha was off to the side tinkering on their own niche machine- the SRX 400 Thumper!
