After spotting the Yamaha YZF1000R for sale right here in town, I got curious about how rare this model is today. Turns out, I can’t find many available to evaluate! The few I spotted were actually outdated ads that had sold already. Most were a bit cheaper, but not by a great deal. I guess…
I shouldn’t say shopping, I was actually just casually browsing my Google Alerts and a couple of sharp looking NC30 VFR400’s came up on Craigslist. Unfortunately they’re both overseas. But they’re so good looking that I was curious to see what current exchange rates would equate to. First up is this NC30 Honda VFR400 For…
This Rothmans replica isn’t as cherry as the previous one I posted, but it sounds like a perfect track day bike or even immediate rider. Especially for the $3900 asking, and listed with a title! 1988 Honda NSR250 Rothmans Replica on Craigslist: quote from seller’s Craiglist ad: 88 rothmans nsr 250 ca street legal, about…

Last year for the MC21, this 1993 Honda NSR250 features the ‘flash’ bodywork. This a two owner, all California ownership bike (though the odometer reads in kilometers), and it has a good title and tags! 1993 Honda NSR 250R MC21 SE For Sale on eBayMotors: quote from seller’s eBayMotors listing: This is a two owner…
I recently posted over at GermanCarsForSaleBlog a 1976 Volkswagen GTi Period Modified car that took me down memory lane. As I thought about machines I lusted after in my youth, I recalled the Honda CBR900RR. This is a ridiculous machine with a monster motor stuffed into a lightweight superbike configuration. I remember sitting on a…
The owner of this 1990 Honda MC21 NSR250R SE on eBayMotors is listing a buy-it-now of only $6500! Does aftermarket bodywork affect the price or are these just not as valuable as I’d think? quote from seller’s eBay ad: Clean and ready to ride. This bike needs nothing, runs great. Has new Tyga body, Michelin…
