“Now why would somebody use this funky bronze paint on this GSX-R ?” you say, not the usual red/black or red/blue/white, but otherwise an -80’s GSX-R750. But this is a not-available-here limited edition in Yoshimura racing colors. With several factory go-fast goodies, the GSX-R750R conformed to KISS endurance racing principles, taking light weight and reliability…
If you’re not really familiar with the significance of the first-generation Honda CBR900RR, it’s easy to dismiss it as being “just another 90s sportbike.” At the time, it wasn’t even all that high-tech, and could even be considered a bit of a step backwards: it used a controversial 16” front wheel and old-school right-way-up forks,…

Our collector friend from Utah is at it again. If you’re not sure about whom I’m talking, check out this uber-rare Kawasaki KR-1R that he is selling from his collection. That is the caliber of model and condition that Gary brings to the table, and the two 400s pitted up against each other at auction…
Hard to fault Suzuki ( and Honda ) for trying to follow Ducati’s “win on Sunday, sell on Monday” strategy – with a big twin superbike which took advantage of WSBK rules and had torquey street performance. The TL-1000R had some unusual innovations and great power and sound. Though it didn’t result in a long…
Extending the run of the ZRX1100 ( itself a harkening to the 1982 Eddie Lawson Replica KZ1000R ) the ZRX1200 wound the series down as only a carburetted 1200 cc naked superbike could. This 30K-mile ZRX is the subject of a tasteful customization with a lot of heavy work done. If a naked super /…
