Right now, the early 90s air/oil-cooled Ducati 900SS is a serious sportbike bargain, although today’s limited-edition Superlight clearly bucks that trend. With limited production, distinctive good looks, lightweight bodywork, and that classic yellow and white color combo, it’s easy to see why Ducatisti swooned over these when they were new, even if nobody else really…
Well, this certainly isn’t the best-photographed Ducati Supermono I’ve come across: those pics look straight out of some grainy newsreel footage from the 1940’s, but it’s still beautiful, and this is one of those bikes we always have to post when they come along. Perhaps the very best of Terblanche’s futuristic designs, it looks obviously…
Looking very 90’s in Honda’s traditional red, white, and blue (hey, wait a minute..) paint scheme, this Honda NSR250R SP will hopefully mollify the two-stroke fans who didn’t like the older NSR we posted up earlier this week. The MC28 was introduced in 1993 and was up about 10lbs over the previous MC21. It was…
Honda’s first-generation CBR900RR, known as the “Fireblade” in Europe, set the stage for today’s bleeding-edge literbikes that see the most powerful engines ever stuffed into tiny, 600-class packages. Prior to the 900RR, it was the 750cc class that really defined the “big engine in a small chassis” philosophy, with 1100cc motorcycles designed more as GT…
In 1992, Ducati introduced a limited-edition of their air/oil-cooled 900SS called the Superlight that featured distinctive Marvic composite wheels, cast-iron front rotors, a vented clutch cover, bits of carbon fiber bodywork, a solo tail section, and high-mount pipes to increase cornering clearance. Unfortunately, there was no engine performance increase as delivered. Available in yellow or…
Until very recently, Bimota’s exotic, Ducati-powered offerings like this DB2 featured the air/oil-cooled two-valve engines, instead of the more powerful four-valve water-cooled engines from the 851/916 models. This meant that, although the bikes weren’t the fastest straight-line performers, they were light and lithe, enabling riders to make good use of every horse available. This was…
Motorcycle Designer Pierre Terblanche is a somewhat controversial figure in the world of motorcycle design. Notably held responsible for Ducati’s controversial 749/999 bikes and Sport Classics, you’ll find a great deal of internet hate directed at him. I happen to be a fan of the 749/999 bikes but I acknowledge that they’re not especially pretty…
While the red, white, and blue 93 900RR is the one that most collectors want, I suspect they’ll all take a look at this all original black, red, and silver edition. The seller states it’s completely original and unmolested. Exactly the kind of bike we hold our breathe for! dc 1993 Honda CBR900RR for sale…
