Not every rider can see themselves on a race replica, and Aprilia obliged with the SL1000 with slightly relaxed performance, ergonomics, and pricing. Here’s a nice looking hi-vis edition with some nice updates. 2001 Aprilia SL1000 Falco for sale on eBay Aprilia transferred their winning 998 cc V-twin from the RSV, but profiled the torque…
Just east of some of the best snow sports in the world, there’s a classic and very sporty Moto Guzzi waiting for spring. This Denver example looks quite original and very good for its 13,048 miles. 1993 Moto Guzzi Daytona 1000 for sale on eBay Midway through the DeTomaso administration, Guzzi was looking to generate…
‘Tis the season for Guzzi here on RSBFS, and I couldn’t be happier. In general these are nostalgic way-back machines, using large displacement and low RPM to provide motivation to a long-wheelbase platform.

The Ducati MH900e was an internet sensation when it dropped on the Google-Tube in the magical year 2000. Designed as a futuristic homage to the Mike Hailwood replicas of the past – but devoid of the Hailwood name in order to avoid royalty payments (later paid to the family retroactively) – the Evoluzion is perhaps…
Moto Guzzi can often be considered an Italian-flavored BMW. Excelling at rapid, long distance transport, Guzzi V-twins are well know – legendary even – for their bulletproof longevity; just like the German boxer twins.
