The Gilera Saturno ranks second in my all time favorite single cylinder sport bikes and it ranks number one in the road legal category .-) This is the third model we have covered this year and the second one spotted in Switzerland. This time French is the language of choice when you’ll get in touch…
I expect quite some debate around this post here: a Ducati 851 ….in yellow! To be honest, I had never seen one like this before and thought the yellow color was first introduced with the 916 model. While I am not in a position to verify the condition of this bike available in Switzerland, I…
For Sale: 1985 Yamaha RZ500 From the seller: 99% of these bikes are a mess… if you want a good one with some extras, this may be your bike. These words from the seller regarding this ONE OWNER bike really do say it all. Located in NY, this looks to be an honest RZ500 find…

I’d recommend a Suzuki RG500 which was produced in the mid eighties and featured a unique “squared” 4 cylinder configuration 2 stroke motor. The bike delivered about 95 bhp in orginal trim for a feather weight. If this is not exclusive enough…
For Sale: 2003 BMW BOXER CUP So the word is that numbered and limited edition Ducatis are not rare. After all, they made some 700 of the 998R as posted here (Make sure to read the comments on the 998R to appreciate the rest of this post! -dc). So when I was trolling for something…
