What would it take for you to brave the scary monsters just over the horizon ? Maybe a later NSR250SP (MC21) in excellent original condition ? This one hails from faraway Cape Town, is in rare Pentax replica livery, and the owner promises shipping to CONUS that looks like a bargain. 1991 Honda NSR250SP /…
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…
The Aprilia RS250’s picture is next to “peaky” in Webster’s – mumbling around town, just butting in to the conversation at 5,000 rpm, but singing all the way to 60 two-stroke hp at 11,900 rpm. Just 309 lbs dry, the RS250 can be a riding lesson every time out and demands only regular attention to…

In a rare maneuver, Honda sent the dainty VTR250 Interceptor to the U.S. – only and first – in part to keep Kawasaki’s 250cc plans in check. From 1988-1990 it was only here,…
Suzuki gave the RGV250 a masterful re-design before the second-to-last year of production, with a new 70-degree two-stroke twin, and a lot of Grand Prix thoughts. Never imported to our shores, the RGV250 was a domestic and progressive-license machine, and in its Sports Production variant, a race replica. This owner has legalized and re-furbished his…
Update 8.17.2017: We have been notified that this exceptional bike sold in just 48hrs! Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc Rarely can I sit for a 90-slide show, slowly fading between pictures.
