Buell’s last model under the H-D umbrella was the 1125CR, a space-age café racer with a high-tech Austrian V-twin. Despite the prominent scoops to cool the radiators, the 1125CR makes room for Buell’s many innovations. This two-owner example seems cared-for and maintained. 2009 Buell 1125CR for sale on eBay With its up-to-date gear-driven double overhead…
In the world of collector motorcycles, few are as recognizable – or as valuable – as the vaunted Honda RC30. Built to dominate Superbike racing, the VFR750R RC30 was released as a homologation machine in limited numbers and continues to appreciate in value. Love the RC30 looks but not the price? What is a rider…
As the old saying goes, “It’s more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow.” That’s not to say it isn’t supremely fun to ride a fast bike fast, but let’s be honest here: most riders aren’t really capable of riding modern superbikes anywhere near their limit, even on a race…

Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc I’ve always been a “slow bike [and car, for that matter] fast” kind of guy, mainly because I could never really afford the fast bikes I wanted, but also because I’m pretty sure I’d have gotten into trouble riding something…
With values of the VFR750R RC30 through the roof, the VFR400R NC30 has become the affordable go-to for fans of Honda’s V4 homologation specials. Styled like a 4/5 scale model of the RC30, the NC30’s dual headlamps, aluminum beam frame, and Pro-Arm single-sided swingarm ape the bigger bike’s look and function. Significantly the engine shares…
If you’re into bikes that aren’t obviously compensating for something, this little Honda CBR400RR offers big-bike looks and serious refinement in a more compact, less overwhelming package. The included photos are very nice, but the seller has included just three of them, so I’ll keep this post short. In general, 400cc sportbikes from this period…
