BMW has liked to use some of their limited editions as technology showcases, and the HP4 Competition is no exception. The 2014 special S1000RR had traction control, dynamic damping control, racing ABS, launch control, and the list goes on. Forgot to mention the nearly 200 hp and dry weight well under 400 lbs. With numbers…
Update 6.28.2018: This bike has sold to an RSBFS reader! Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc It’s pretty rare that someone selling anything, whether it’s a motorcycle or a tennis ball, is totally honest about the condition it’s in.

Long ago when V-twin Superbikes made do with a mere liter, Ducati made a smashing revision to the 916 series. Like some other revolutions, it was voted down – but the monoposto 999R is the apex of the short-lived Tamburini design. 2005 Ducati 999R for sale on eBay Ducati produced just 200 of the…
