Update 9.30.2018: This bike has SOLD! Congratulations to the buyer and seller! -dc As the little brother to the legendary RC45, the 1996 Honda RVF400R in some ways got stuck playing second fiddle to the faster bike. That isn’t exactly fair treatment, though, as the screaming little gear-driven V4 had the character and handling to…
The 2002 Triumph Daytona 955i Centennial Edition is a sneaky beast, as at first blush it’s just Triumph’s big, hairy-chested early 2000s bruiser in a smart shade of green. It takes a real Triumph aficionado to see and feel the differences between this one-of-200 special and its less exotic counterpart. This bike has seen very…

Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc The Ducati 851 is rare and special enough in Ducati’s classic blood red livery, but it’s worlds more special in the Italian flag tricolore paint scheme.

Update 9.6.2018: Seller notes that this bike is now SOLD! Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc The Suzuki RG500 Gamma was the king of Sportbike Hill back in the mid-80s, as it tipped its hat to the high-strung square fours that a series of talented Americans were dominating with on the world stage.
