I always thought that there are some advantages in living in Switzerland. In addition to smooth tarmac, great views and plenty of corners along any mountains road on the Alps, the RSBFS market here never fails to deliver. Today’s discovery is an ultra rare & brand new Ducati DESMO 450 single. Apparently it’s engine is…
There have been more and more Laverdas on the market as of late, and that is a good thing indeed for collectors. Today’s bike is not the more often seen Jota or RGS, but the rather special 1200 Mirage model. It looks to be a rider, and has 30k on the clocks. So what exactly…
Marketed on US shores at the height of the disco era, it is hard to imagine Italian engineers and assembly personnel listening to anything other than Pavarotti during the construction of this beast. Still, singing some “Stayin’ Alive” by the Bee Gees might have helped – Laverda would close their doors by the early 1980s…
Quick – look at the pictures. Do you spot the rare bike? I’m beginning to doubt the rarity of these post-disco, pre-grunge “it came from the 80s” Suzuki Katanas. RSBFS went for ages without posting a single one, and then BANG! we suddenly find several. Such are the risks associated with bringing you the best…
This wonderful survivor – a 1986 Yamaha SRX600 single – was offered for only one short year in the United States. Utilizing a single cylinder, air cooled motor, the SRX was impossibly narrow, and very nimble and flickable. Ultimately it lost out to the multis of the day; light weight and great handling were no…
Up for grabs today is a great looking Moto Guzzi LeMans III. This is a bike for those that march to the tune of a different drummer. And while not as hyper-performance as the rare and homologated bikes you tend to find on the pages of RSBFS, these Guzzis will eat up the miles with…
When this first year, 1000cc Katana showed up on eBay, I knew it was perfect for the RSBFS faithful. Who doesn’t like a classic survivor like this? Built to be the baddest road rocket of the day, the Katana still turns heads with its knife-edge styling and purposeful looks. This particular bike does not appear…
From North Carolia comes this beautiful Bimota DB6R with almost no miles at all. How somebody could not ride this air-cooled 1100cc Ducati powered wonder for more that a trip around the block is anyone’s guess, but this only adds “low miles” on top of an already rare status. The seller’s ad contains all the…
