Many of the machines featured on this site are pristine, beautiful examples, the best available anywhere. This is not one of those bikes. But it is rare, and it is a sportbike. And it’s worth looking at because it’s pretty hard to find Laverdas like this in any condition here in the USA. If you…
In the states, Ducati offered us the Ducati 888 SPO, which was very similar to the SP5 global offering. This “sport production” offering has a warmed over engine and full Ohlins suspension to name a few of the upgrades over the SPO. This particular example has been on our site before in 2012 and at…
RSBFS is on a RZ500 roll these days, and here is another gorgeous V4 smoker. Unlike the stock bikes found last week, this particular example appears to be a well-built hot rod and sports the awesome Marlboro colors reminiscent of the glory days of Wayne Rainey. This bike has a lot of high-end pieces on…
Update 6.10.2014: While the auction is over, you can also see this bike on the Loudbike site. -dc I’ve written about bikes from Loudbike before, over on our sister site Classic Sport Bikes for Sale, but the last one was patterned after a garden-variety 750 F1. Very classic, but not especially pretty… I hate to…

Cheers Marty! dc 1986 Ducati 750 F1B for sale on eBay from the seller: 1986 Ducati…

While these aren’t brand new, the combined mileage represents less than 3k miles! The pictures tell the rest of the story as these have obviously been cared for like museum…
The red, white, and blue CBR900RR is such an iconic bike, and not just in the U.S. This month’s Practical Sportbikes highlights this modern classic and reminds me that I would love to have one of my own. Perfect examples command an appropriate premium over average examples. But while this one has some minor aftermarket…
It’s kind of amusing that all these collector quality bikes come available this time of year. I’ve referred to the spring fever phenomenon before, but usually in reference to riders who can’t wait to get out and ride in the good weather after a cold winter. But bikes like this are likely to see one…
