We don’t often post bikes this hammered well-loved here at RSBFS, but this one caught our eye. Ignore, if you will, the mismatched tires, the forgotten seat upholstery and, well, the rust. What we have here is an example of the 1987 Honda NSR250R that you could actually ride. 1987 Honda NSR250R for sale on…
The Honda NS400R is a bit of an odd duck in the annals of rare bike collections. Bigger than a 250 but lacking the brutal thrust of the 500cc smokers, the V-3 two stroke is neither fish nor fowl. Nearly all other two strokes are apples to the NS400R orange. With typical Honda flair and…
When it comes to competition – performance AND style – you simply cannot beat the 250cc two-stroke market. Designed both for capturing regional buyers where licensing regulations restrict capacity and to bolster the corporate image of the company related to GP racing, the quarter-liter smoker is one of the more focused sporting machines you are…

In the 1990s, Honda had a bit of a problem with their engineers building cool machines the company didn’t seem to know how to sell: the Hawk GT, the CB1, and their retro-styled musclebike, the CB1000F known internally as “Project Big One.” And big it is: those are 18″ wheels front and rear, but they…
When you mention Honda’s endurance race replicas, most folks are likely to think of their iconic RC30 or RC45 machines, some of the best-looking bikes of their era, or maybe the smaller NC30 if they’re more budget-minded. But the VF1000R had endurance-racer styling and a host of sophisticated features to homologate them for competition. Possibly…
Update 7.24.2017: Interested parties can email the seller directly: mrcbx@att.net Built in small quantities between 1981 and 1983 and very rare sight here in the US, the Honda CB1100R was created to homologate the big, four-cylinder machine for endurance racing.
