Many of the machines featured on this site are pristine, beautiful examples, the best available anywhere. This is not one of those bikes. But it is rare, and it is a sportbike. And it’s worth looking at because it’s pretty hard to find Laverdas like this in any condition here in the USA. If you…
Update: Originally listed in February 2010, this bike is back. Thanks for the hat tip Scott! Links updated. -dc 1999 yellow Laverda 750S for sale with low miles on ebay. Probably not many people know of Laverda (a small italian brand founded in 1873), and those who have heard of it may know only of…
Location: Sutton, West Virginia Mileage: 13,083 Price: Auction, currently $4,150 Another killer 250 two stroke. I love it when these pop up. RSBFS featured a good looking NSR250 MC18 a few days back and now we have this – an ’89 TZR250 3MA with the rare and awesome parallel twin, not a V. Still a…

Barber Vintage Festival Weapon: 1963 Honda CR77 Replica It is that time of year again. The Barber Vintage Festival is just around the corner and I thought this little beast would get you in the spirit. Even if vintage bikes aren’t your thing I really recommend attending. This event will win you over. There are…
Go Fast History: Team Vesco 1972 Yamaha TD3 You really can find anything on eBay. What a neat little piece of motorcycle racing history. I had always associated Don Vesco with going real fast across the salt flats and not around a race track. He was at the track and was associated with some very…
Location: Carlsbad, California Mileage: 10,000 Price: $7,500 or offer These have been posted on RSBFS before but they are certainly not a bike you see rolling through the neighborhood that often (at least not my neighborhood). As mentioned before, the Formula was a hopped up limited edition version of the regular 750S. The upgrades included…
