Update 7.3.2018: These bikes are sold and headed to their new owner. Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc Writing for this site, it’s very rare I come across a bike that has me completely at a loss. I’ve got a great memory for weird motorcycles: Swallower-built Moto Guzzi with a girder front end and chain…
Update 4.11.2018: Sold in a day! Congratulations to buyer and seller, both friends of the site! -dc The early ’90s were a special time to be a sportbike enthusiast, as myriad racing series commanded wide audiences, and the big bike companies were busily trying to outgun each other every year.
