A collector and friend of RSBFS is thinning the herd and offering the following fantastic homologation specials for sale {please kneel}:
Get the goods on each bike below:
1992 Ducati 851 with Less Than 2000 Miles!
Update 8.9.2010: SOLD!
Comments from the seller:
All original -except for the addition of the booming Gi.Co.Moto twin pipes for that wonderful “Sound of Thunder” music from the Desmo V-Twin engine.
1988 Bimota YB6
Update 8.9.2010: SOLD!
Comments from the seller:
A beautiful old school collector for the Bimota enthusiasts.
Yamaha 1000cc engine with Keihin flat-slide carbs
(oh….this one will scoot alright!!).Growls like a mean-ass junk yard dog.
1988 Bimota YB4E.I.
Comments from the seller:
Take a look at this sexy thing……probably my favorite Bimota of all time. This thing is such a work of art. The 1988 YB4E.I. model released after Bimota took the last ever TT-F1 title in ’87.
Graves Yamaha AMA Formula Extreme R7-1
Update 8.9.2010: SOLD!
Comments from the seller:
Graves Yamaha AMA Formula Extreme R7-1 raced by Damon Buckmaster (AUS). YEC factory kit EVERYTHING from frame to swingarm to bracing to chassis to radiator to engine and every part on it. Adjustable swingarm pivot, steering stem, ride heights, etc.
Stroker 1080cc full-on SuperBike factory engine and every special YEC Kit factory item from the Yamaha WSBK team. 190hp and the best SBK chassis available back when Superbikes were Superbikes (and not warmed-over street bikes). This thing is light and goes like a missile.
The R7-1 was actually BANNED from AMA competition after it laid waste to the Formula Extreme class back in the days before the AMA series scuttled the class because the FX bikes were faster than the 750cc SuperBike Class (headliner) machines.
Have a ton of the press articles on the bike from magazines (and web
magazines) of the day.
{Still kneeling right?}
Yamaha FZR750R OW01
Comments from the seller:
Beautiful condition, all original with 2,700 miles. Only 200 of these produced and they’re getting harder
and harder to find here in the States.
Honda RC30 VFR750R
Update 9.13.2010: SOLD!
Comments from the seller:
Wonderfully clean example with only 2,950 miles on the odometer. All original and unmolested condition.
Has all the manuals and tool kits and everything else it came with from the factory.
Honda RC45 RVF750
Update 9.13.2010: SOLD!
Comments from the seller:
Very clean example with 6,975 miles on it. Has the HRC PGM wire modification done to it (more HP)
and has a aftermarket exhaust canister installed for a little more of that V-4 sound.
Bimota Vdue
Comments from the seller:
Still in all original condition. 360 kilometers. Has the usual Vdue “issues” with the engine fueling -but can be sorted out.
(I’ve got another bike exactly the same that has been sorted and runs great.) This bike has stayed in original condition
though and has not had any modifications done to it.
So here’s my question: How do you choose? This is my favorite era of SportBike and seeing a collection like this is exactly what I’d like to have in my own stable some day. It would be like that corner spot in the Barber Motorsports Museum with all the great ones:
Interested parties better hurry because come Thursday after my $175mil PowerBall lotto ticket hits, I’m just going to buy them all!
If you have questions about the model specifications or history, or just want to chat about the collection, please post a comment below — the whole RSBFS team is going to keep an eye on this thread and will be happy to answer questions! Qualified buyers, I am acting as a proxy for the seller. Please send your inquires to dan@motoringblogs.com for additional details.
