Bimota is well known for producing some bikes with astonishing engineering, such as the Tesi and the V-Due. Okay, the V-Due didn’t really work as advertised but it was still an astonishing idea at the time; a mass produced fuel injected two stroke repli racer. Of course while these engineering efforts were underway, Bimota still…
While the 851 is generally looked down upon compared to the later evolution of the 888, there’s no denying that one that has existed for 25 years without ever being fired is something to take note of. This example is in Australia and according to the description has been recently uncrated for photographs and is…
Moto Guzzi is famous for manufacturing quirky, long-legged sports machines like this Daytona RS. The Daytona featured Guzzi’s 992cc four-valve, SOHC engine that was also found in the bizarrely-styled Centauro. Fans fast Moto Guzzi’s from the 1990’s are probably most familiar with the Sport 1100, the lower-spec, lower-cost version of this machine that was fitted…
Here is a bit of carbon wrapped exotica for the holidays, a Bimota Tesi 3d Carbon version located in Australia. The Bimota Tesi hub centered steering effort began in 1991 with the 1D and continued with the 2d in 2005 and the 3d in 2007. Each evolution of the Tesi design improved both the function…

Not particularly rare, but always striking and always coveted, the Kawasaki ZX-7 defined the early 1990s. Today, a well-preserved example is respected as a capable sporting machine with lines and style that seem to defy the passing of time. Sure, it may not be a limited edition, numbered Italian exotica rare enough to pull in…
Lately we seem to have had a lot of pristine/desirable Ducati machinery popping up for sale. Perhaps its just coincidence or perhaps people are making room so Father Christmas can bring them some new toys, either way I am not really complaining. Here we have a lovely 1995 Ducati 916 that has had some tasteful…
Nope it’s not in Detroit — it’s in Florida and has just 8 miles showing on the odometer. The description is very thin but the pictures definitely show a spotless Ducati superbike. One interesting thing in the description is that the seller states it could be an S model. Though there isn’t any markings on…
