Honda had two V-twin solutions in their line-up for a few years, with the SuperHawk playing the supersport role to the RC51’s superbike. Today’s VTR1000F looks to have been adult-owned and carefully ridden for its rather low 10K miles. 2003 Honda VTR1000F SuperHawk for sale on eBay A quick search on SuperHawk and RC51 chassis…
Ah, the Ducati 851. Back to our regularly scheduled program. Aside from the green frame 750SS, the 851 is THE bike that put Ducati on the superbike racing map. Taking the base Pantah rubber band motor and dipping it into a vat of fuel injection, four-valve heads and liquid cooling, the 851 invented the modern…
