Near Toronto, Canada, just above the Great Lake of Ontario, comes this pretty Italian supermodel. The 851 is fabled for bringing together the trifecta of liquid cooling, fuel injection and four-valve desmo heads together in one fantastic package. So good was this bike that it set Ducati on a dominant streak in the WSBK racing…
If you are a regular here at RSBFS than you know that all of us here are huge fans of Bimota. Any time one comes to market we know that there needs to be a post about it. The comments sections are normally fairly interesting with owners and would be owners sharing stories. From my…
The Ducati Sport Classic lineup was an innovative approach to take the tried and true – in this case the tried and true, air-cooled, two valve standard Desmo mill heavily utilized in the Supersport and Monster offerings – but in a different platform called the Sport Classic.

It is somewhat amusing that one of the most limited of Limited Editions from Ducati is a doppelganger for the same model posted only a few weeks ago here on RSBFS – but as is often noted, rare bikes are a feast or famine affair. And thus, straight from the Neiman Marcus catalog I offer…

My translation for this post is this: I can’t come up with an interesting intro. That’s all you folks are going…
Original 1st generation Ducati 916 models are solidly in collector cross hairs. If you were around when these rocket-powered works of art were released back in ’94 and you didn’t score one, chances are good you remain nostalgic for Tamburini’s beautifully carved block of bologna (see what I did there?). The time to get in…
If you are hankering to own a super rare Limited Edition Ducati Superbike but cannot quite afford the R-spec homologation machines across the 851/888/916/996/998 range, may I humbly suggest what you see before you is an exceedingly rare by the numbers bike priced within reach of mere mortals. Offered only through Neiman Marcus catalog, the…
Jumping back across the pond, today we find a very nicely equipped 2002 Ducati 748R. This iconic design, penned by Massimo Tamburini back in the mid 1990s for the launch of the 916, is completely timeless. And while the smaller motor may lack some of the “I’m gonna kill you” grunt of the bigger bike,…
