New Cagiva managers enlisted Massimo Tamburini to design the next Ducati, and installed the desmodue 750 in the Paso. Unfortunately it didn’t lead to a sales boom and a limited edition was issued to bump showroom interest. This Virginia example is very stock and very, very clean. 1988 Ducati Paso Limited for sale on eBay…
Most 1979-80 GS1000S’s we see have beaucoup miles on them – after all, they are eminently rideable. And though presented in team colors, the model was never officially referred to as a special Wes Cooley edition. Fans of the bike and rider took care of that for them. This one has rather low miles and…
While an Italian cafe racer from the mid-1970s is somewhat outside of the usual focus of RSBFS, one look at this surviving hot rod told us that it belongs here. And after diving in a bit deeper, we are sure our readers will too. This is an awesome timepiece of a rare model that is…

Just basic mods and some raucous pigments got you looking a lot like Eddie Lawson back in 1983, though getting near his lap times still required a pile of special parts,…
Going Moto Guzzi has always been a choice. These v-twins are an interesting alternative to the high-strung offerings of those other Italian marques. Character is plentiful, as is an abundance of low RPM torque. Quality is high, at both the component as well as the build level. Performance is adequate – but far more relaxed…
For a flagship superbike, the Suzuki GSX-R1100 looked relatively primitive on paper: oil/air cooled engine, twin cradle frame, five-speed gearbox… But the sledgehammer personality of the early GSX-R1100 makes it more collectible today, next to comparatively polished in-era competition from Honda and Yamaha. It may not have been the most sophisticated bike, but it did…
Happy Father’s Day to all once and future Dads !

This second generation DB5R has the 1078cc engine, premium appointments, and an exciting and award-winning design. 2008 Bimota DB5R for sale on…
