One thing I have noticed about rare sport bikes is that you wont see a bike for sale for a long time and then suddenly multiple versions pop up either within months or at the same time. One of my first posts to to RSBFS was when three Red Bull KTM RC8’s came up for…
I know the purists will tell me that the traditional colors for a GSX-R are white and blue but I think this red and white color scheme was the most attractive color scheme of the early GSX-R models. Plus this is a “slingshot” model in the 750cc configuration, which is quickly becoming one of the…
Okay, so the MV Agusta F4 is on my short list of “must own” bikes. The 1000’s are fairly common, but somehow I’m paranoid those extra 250cc’s will be the death of me. When they were released the 750’s were a bit disappointing, with performance on-par with Suzuki’s GSX-R 750 and a much higher price…
Caught with fewer than two days left on the auction, this 1986 Ducati 750 F1 Montjuich edition is looking for a new home. Among the rarest of the F1 models, the Montjuich was one of 3 “specials” Ducati built on the F1 line (the others were the Santa Monica and the Laguna Seca). Each of…
The Ducati 750 GT was a bevel driven single camshaft elegant and yet sexy (see below) motorbike for gentlemen. While this is not an Imola or a Super Sport, given its rarity, I thought it is worth to mention on RSBFS. Particularly in this condition, what do you think ? This owner is selling this…
Let’s start Monday with a bang: Here’s a stunning F4 with just 5700 miles for a mere $6599 buy-it-now! While I realize these were never class leaders, there is no denying the eyeball appeal that these bikes carry. The early F4’s have always been good value in recent years, and this example with it’s miles…
Italian for gold, “Oro” edition MV Agustas really played up the bling factor. With numerous gold-accented pieces made out of magnesium to save weight, the original models sold for a king’s ransom. They may as well have been made from gold. Fast forward a dozen or so years, and the prices are still higher than…
Lake Forest, IL – 29,981mi – $3,500 w/ Reserve We feature a healthy amount of early GSX-R’s here on RSBFS, and for good reason. To me, these bikes represent a large part of the ever growing market for collectible sport bikes. Sure, they weren’t designed to be collectible or low production bikes when there were…
