1989 Kawasaki KR-1S
Miles: 10,907
Clean Title
$8,500

SELLER
For sale is my 89 Kawasaki KR1S, Sad to see her go but it’s time to make some room for other toys.

This bike has clocked 10,908 miles, about 2k miles since I imported her from the UK in 2017.

MASS clear title Has been garaged and well cared for since and have added the following:
New Metzeler tires(approx 2 seasons old but still lots of life)
Full overhaul on brakes: stainless brake lines rebuilt calipers with new seals sintered pads Brembo master cylinder and brake lever
Throttle cable recently replaced (Venhill)
Speedo cable
CRG bar end mirror
Mechanical/engine upgrades
Coerce rear sets from Japan
BDK parts: rebuilt/resealed power valves/BDK race billet power valve kit new head gasket BDK Power valve linkage kit
*The OE power valves are one of the weak spots on these bikes Carbs rebuilt and resynced BDK dogbone link kit new power valve motor coolant flush and new silicone radiator hoses
Jolly Moto pipes
DNA filter with modified factory air box
Blue AFAM chain 1 tooth smaller front sprocket oil injection delete(runs on premix)
Nitron adjustable rear shock valved for 190-lb rider Gauge cluster serviced due to warnig lights not functioning and tachometer not working(works now)
Zeeltronic programmable ignition with 2-map switch
Cosmetic upgrades/other accessories/spares: Solo tail(on bike), Flourescent yellow windscreen from UK, Domino blue grips, oem seat cowl, seat and side panels ,OEM exhaust with ZEP silencers, Sigma jet kit complete gasket and seal kit, spare plugs repair manual

Bike is overall in great shape and has some minor cracks on the bodywork and the top of the tank has one spot that will eventually need paint otherwise she still runs good, although she’s getting a little blow-by and I would recommend a rebuild/reseal soon, if I were to keep her I would be sending the crank out and have the top end freshened up as well.

With the proper tuning and some bigger carbs/upgraded pistons you could see close to 70hp at the tire with this set up. These don’t come up too often in the USA and I want to see her go to a good home no matter where she ends up!

RSBFS
The KR-1S rarely shows up in the US, and it was never officially sold here. This one came over from the UK in 2017 and has been properly sorted since: BDK billet power valves (a known weak spot), full brake overhaul, Zeeltronic ignition, Jolly Moto pipes, Nitron shock. Real parts, real money.

The catch is the motor. Seller’s upfront about the blow-by, which is appreciated. Factor a rebuild into your number before you call.

Mike gave us the history when he posted one on RSBFS in 2014, “When it comes to rare, imported smokers, the Kawasaki KR-1 series is a hidden gem. While the world rides around on NS-Rs, RZs, RGs, RGVs and the like, few KR-1 models seem to come up for sale. Definitely the most unknown of the quarter liter two strokes, the KR-1 is a basic parallel twin following in the footsteps of the early 250cc RG…..With the supply of KR-1 and KR-1S limited, these continue to be sought after models by collectors.”

Would you sort the motor first or ride it into the rebuild?

Good luck to the buyer and seller!

Price update: $35,000 OBO

In the late 1980s, Italian engineer Roberto Gallina teamed up with Japanese investor Yoshiyuki Hayashi to build a limited run of high-performance motorcycles. The result was the Gallina 750 Sport, also known as the Hayashi Gallina Quattro 750 L.E. Only ten bikes were ever made.

The Team Behind It
Roberto Gallina was already well known in racing circles as an Italian Grand Prix racer and team owner. His best racing year was 1973 when he finished 8th in the 250cc world championship. Later, from his shop in La Spezia, Italy, he built a series of one-off superbikes and prototypes known for their clean design and race-level engineering.

Yoshiyuki Hayashi, based in Japan, was a motorsport enthusiast with serious resources. He owned Fuji Speedway, funded several racing teams, and collected Grand Prix motorcycles. But he wanted something more — a motorcycle of his own design. To make it happen, he turned to Gallina.

Hayashi summed up his approach simply:

“Everyone is free to have a dream, however big it can be. Once you speak of it in the presence of others, you must make it come true with your efforts.”

SELLER
1989 Gallina Quattro 750, a collaboration between Japanese investor Yoshiyuki Hayashi and Italian motorcycle racer and team owner Roberto Gallina.

The bike has a hybrid tubular trellis frame with aluminum side plates, with parts from all the foremost manufacturers like Marzocchi and Brembo. The engine was a heavily modified GSX-R750 unit, with most parts recast in magnesium and with gear-driven cams.

Power went up from 105 to 130hp. Marvic Wheels, the body was designed by Roberto Ugolini, who also did the Bimota Tesi 1D, which should come as no surprise. Built for the World Superbike championship, the Japanese economic bubble’s collapse meant that only ten Quattro 750 prototypes were finished, at a total cost of about $2.5 million.

The odometer on this bike shows 32,947 km – it has been recently serviced in including a new battery and the Carburetors cleaned. This bike has been in a private collection for over 20 years.

The Gallina has flat slide KeiHin Carbs. Recent service cleaned the carbs. New battery new plugs, Fresh hydraulic fluids, New metal dry break fuel line connections at the gas tank bulkhead.

Bike is from the A.S, Paul Collection. I’ve cared for this collection for 25 years – the attention and care for these motorcycles was incredible no expense spared. New tires in 2015, zero miles on them. Recently detailed to achieve a beautiful result

Building the Gallina 750
The goal was ambitious: create a bike that was “faster than the Japanese bikes and more fascinating than Italian motorcycles in old days.”

Gallina started with a Suzuki air-cooled 750 engine, but re-engineered it from the inside out. He recast the cases, cylinders, and head, and converted the camshaft drive from chain to gear drive — a major upgrade in both precision and durability. The frame was a trellis design, hand-built with billet-machined components throughout the steering assembly and chassis.

One detail that stands out to anyone who’s seen the bike in person: the low-mounted rear shock with a rising-rate spring setup, tucked away underneath. It’s one of those things you only notice when you’re really looking.

Every piece of the bike was hand-fabricated. Nothing about the Gallina 750 came off a production line.

A Project Cut Short
The timing couldn’t have been worse. Just as the project gained momentum, the Japanese economy collapsed during the 1990 recession. Hayashi lost his funding, and the program ended abruptly. Only ten motorcycles were finished before the lights went out.

Why It Matters
The 1989 Gallina 750 Sport never reached mass production, but that’s part of what makes it special. It’s a snapshot of what can happen when a racer’s engineering mind meets a collector’s dream — a motorcycle built with no compromises, just purpose.

For collectors and enthusiasts, these bikes represent more than rarity. They mark the end of an era when small builders could take big risks, and sometimes, even unfinished dreams left something worth remembering.

1981 Moto Guzzi Monza
Miles: 8,250
Clean Title
PE100073
East Lyme, CT
$7,000

SELLER
For sale is 1981 Moto Guzzi Monza. The Monza has 8,250 miles and it is in very good original condition, a survivor in original condition. She is not a trailer queen, but she runs strong and handles like she is on rails. Moto Guzzi is an Italian motorcycle manufacturer whose engineers sculpt an exotic motorcycle for the art of carving a corner. The Monza is a compact light weight nimble motorcycle that corners as if it is attached to a rail. There is enough power to pull like a tractor without the rise and fall from driveshaft torque while throttling up or down. The Monza is known as the baby Lemans. The Monza 1 was produced from 1981 to 1982. All Monza frame and engine serial numbers will have the prefix of PE. Manufactured in 1981 only approximately 100 are known to exist in in the USA.

RSBFS
The Monza doesn’t come up often. Moto Guzzi’s 500cc V-twin baby brother to the Le Mans, built for two years and largely forgotten outside of the faithful. The seller’s “attached to a rail” description is one you hear a lot from people who’ve actually ridden one.

Eight thousand miles on a 45-year-old Italian bike with a clean title and matching PE-prefix VIN is a solid starting point. The seller isn’t faking the rarity either: the Monza 1 production window was tight, and surviving examples in original condition are genuinely scarce.

Seven grand for a numbers-matching, running, original-condition survivor? That’s not a stretch, especially if Connecticut storage has been kind to it. Worth a call, worth a look.

Good luck to the buyer and seller!

Notes: Buyer should verify the PE-prefix VIN matches the seller’s stated PE100073. Given the small known survivor count in the US, provenance documentation would be a nice bonus if the seller has it.

2005 Honda RC51
Miles: 10,080
Clean California Title
Listed Price: $12,000

Honda remained faithful to their beloved V4 superbikes in World Superbike racing for years, until it became clear that the rules had begun to heavily favor Ducati and their v-twins. They finally capitulated and grudingly introduced the v-twin powered Honda RC51, a bike with an almost workmanlike vibe in stark contrast to the rare and exotic RC30 and RC45. It hardly mattered: the new bike won the WSBK championship the first year it competed in 2000, and then again in 2002, after which Honda withdrew official support for the bike, although production continued until 2006. Almost like they were trying to prove a point… Instead of Ducati’s famous steel trellis, Honda’s v-twin used an aluminum beam frame, with side-mounted radiators to allow the engine to be mounted as far forward in the chassis as possible. Gear-driven cams added a bit of exotic whine to overlay the v-twin boom from the exhaust. Fuel mileage provided by the massive throttle-bodies was pretty dismal and part-throttle response came in for criticism, but fans of Honda superbikes certainly didn’t care then and won’t care now.

2005 Honda RC51 (RVT1000/VTR/SP2).

10,080 miles. Excellent condition but could use new fork seals. Minor imperfections here and there but you won’t find another clean one these days in the sexy black and gray color scheme. Clean CA title with current registration. Yoshimura carbon fiber slip ons and Sargent seat. Otherwise stock.

Will consider trade for a newer low mileage BMW R1250 RT

Honda’s RC51/RVT1000 was no doubt a successful racing machine, but it never seemed to really capture the public’s imagination and didn’t seem to be a big seller for the company, making it a rare machine today. The relatively unimaginative styling may have had something to do with that: here it looks pretty sinister in basic black/grey but, large, period Honda trapezoidal headlights aside, there’s not much distinctive about it. That being said, it’s an excellent sportbike, excepting the poor fuel consumption, especially once Honda had made a few tweaks to the original bike to improve the handling. The $12,000 asking price is on the high side for an RC51, but not outrageous given the low miles and good condition. The tasty Yoshimura slip-ons and Sargent seat are just a nice bonus.

1998 Yamaha YZF750R
Miles: 9,872
Clean New York Title
Listed Price: $7,500
Listing Ends: June 13th, 2026

Originally introduced in 1993, the Yamaha YZF750R was the company’s followup to their earlier FZR750 and was ultimately designed to carry on the racing legacy of the very exotic OW01. The new bike was naturally powered by a 749cc inline four with Yamaha’s signature five-valve per cylinder head and their surprisingly effective EXUP or “exhaust ultimate powervalve” that gave a relatively wide, flat powerband, compared to rivals. Braking was impressive, with six-piston calipers up front. The YZF750 generally came in two flavors: the more exotic, homologation SP “sport production” version with close-ratio gearbox, solo tail, high-spec suspension, and flat-slide carburetors, and the more basic R version, although even that version was fitted with high-quality Öhlins suspension components in later years.

Up for sale is my 1998 Yamaha YZF750R, in near mint condition. This is a rare bike only made for 5 years, an this version made for 2 years not many around or left. This bike had a complete tear down a rebuild finished in 2021 no expense spared while building. This bike has upgrades, the bike runs, shifts and stops with no issues. Then only issue the bike has is the kick stand safety switch need too hooked back up a the starter makes noise when starting it for the first time from the winter in the garage.

This particular Yamaha YZF750R represents the end of the line for 750cc sportbikes, as it was built the very same year that the mighty Yamaha R1 was first introduced. The R1 helped bring an end to the popularity the 750cc category, a class that had, up until that point, combined the best of both power and handling. The YZF750R came in a dizzying array of graphics and this scheme does generally appear to be correct, although the red hugger and gold brakes are later updates and the wheels do appear to have been aesthetically enhanced a bit as well. Other than the smoked windscreen and the visually understated but otherwise conceptually horrifying slash-cut muffler, this appears to be a very nice, low-mile example of Yamaha’s classic superbike. The asking price is high, but the the listing is “or best offer” so perhaps the seller is open to some reasonable negotiations.

1996 Honda CBR600F3
Miles: 9,000
Located in Maine
$4,800

SELLER
1996 Smokin Joe’s CBR600 F3. Excellent Condition, only 9000 miles. Professionally tuned last summer. Good rubber. VIN No. Is correct for a Smokin Joe’s. Cash only, no trades, will ignore low offers. Collectors bike, not for a new rider.

RSBFS
Two photos and a paragraph. That’s it. Welcome to Facebook Marketplace, where rare bikes go to be underrepresented.

The Smokin’ Joe’s CBR600F3 is one of those bikes that doesn’t need a sales pitch. Purple and yellow, Joe Camel on the fairing, Miguel Duhamel’s name behind it. You either know what you’re looking at or you don’t. The seller does, at least, confirm the VIN checks out — always worth verifying on these since the livery has been faked with sticker kits more than once.

The 1996 is the rarer of the Smokin’ Joe’s years. At $4,800 with 9,000 miles and a recent tune, it sits at the low end of what these are selling for right now. A clean ’98 with 3,000 miles went for $8,800 at Mecum in January. This one has more miles and less documentation, but the price reflects that.

Not a bad place to land if the bike is as solid as the seller says. Worth a phone call.

Good luck to the buyer and seller!

Why is this a modern mystery? Ten years ago, nobody would have blinked at a ZX6R. Now there are 46 people watching this one on eBay. Low miles, mint condition, proper Kawasaki racing green. Time does funny things.

With less than 500 miles a year, this bike’s keeper loved it from a distance, unlike Gary. Gary loves his bikes up close, from the saddle. And I bet there are a few Garys out there ready to give this thing the street time it deserves.

More photos on the eBay listing, so click through and take a look.

SELLER
1993 Honda CBR900rr sc28. Very low miles. Near perfect condition and completely stock, including original tires. Small scuff on the muffler is the only blemish. Looks like it’s just off the showroom floor. Probably one if not cleanest surviving example in the country. This is collector quality. Too nice to be ridden.

1993 Honda CBR900RR on Facebook Marketplace — Yes, Really

So this popped up on Facebook Marketplace in Massachusetts and we had to share it. A 1993 CBR900RR SC28 with just over 7,000 miles, completely stock down to the original tires. The seller says the only blemish is a small scuff on the muffler. Look at it.

Clean ’93 Fireblades are getting serious money at auction right now, so seeing one show up on FB Marketplace is a little unexpected. Whether the price reflects that is another question. Looking forward to hearing your estimates on the price. A similar bike sold for $11,500 on BaT only six months ago.

Have you seen one this original lately? And would you rather ride it or park it?

Good luck to the buyer and seller!

1989 Honda CB400
Miles: 4,837
Title Status: Missing
$3,900

SELLER

1989 HONDA CB400F / CB-1- Excellent and unmolested condition. Rare 4 cylinder 400cc with gear driven cams. No timing chain to worry about and valves stay in adjustment.

Starts, stops, runs, and rides perfectly. Carbs are clean and jetted perfectly. Has hard to find Honda OEM Japanese market stainless steel exhaust, turn signals, and rear fender. Bridgestone dual compound radial tires in very good condition. Has period correct Targa Tsunami dealer option fiberglass quarter fairing. The motorcycle is professionally painted with tank decals under clear coat. The metallic blue paint looks fantastic in sunlight. Smooth engine with excellent power. Comes with service manual, tool kit, two keys, and a set of standard mirrors.

Minimal modifications include stainless steel front brake line, bar end mirrors, and upgraded front suspension (RaceTech fork springs and adjustable gold valves). Custom seat in pictures raises the seat height by about an inch or so, perfect for me at 5’9” tall with a 30 inseam. Also includes the original stock seat in perfect condition, which will suit shorter riders.

Relatively low seat height and very light weight make it a perfect bike for riders of any age and any experience. This is a smaller size bike, if you’re over 6’ it’s probably not the bike for you. Comes with service manual, bill of sale, and copy of current registration in my name.

If interested email with your name, number, and best time to call. I’m not listing my number due to scam calls. Thanks Paul

RSBFS

The CB-1 doesn’t show up clean very often, and this one’s about as clean as they come. Only 4,837 miles on a 37-year-old bike, and the seller describes it as “excellent and unmolested”. It’s been repainted in a deep blue, with the tank decals sealed under clear coat. It’s also wearing the OEM Japanese-market stainless exhaust and rear fender (both legitimately hard to find), a period-correct Targa Tsunami quarter fairing, and fresh Bridgestone radials.

The only mods worth noting are a stainless front brake line, bar-end mirrors, and RaceTech fork springs with gold valves up front. Everything else is stock or better. Comes with the service manual, tool kit, two keys, and both a custom seat and the original stocker.

One flag: title is listed as missing, so do your homework before making the trip to Connecticut.

The CB-1 was only sold here for the 1989 and 1990 model years, and Cycle World called it a great motorcycle that never found an audience. That’s exactly why clean survivors are hard to find today. Under 5k miles, unmolested, with the Japanese-market hardware still on it, that’s a rare combination. Sort out the title situation and this one is worth a serious look.

Good luck to the buyer and seller!

Considering we have never had an Aston Martin/Brough Superior on the site, we had to post this.

Only a few hours left before the auction ends. Based on what I read in the comments, I’m guessing the seller wants to break $100k.

NCR600TT commented, “I found online information on two of these at recent auction.

The first #63 in Belgium did not meet reserve.

But #94 did sell in England for 99,950 GBP ($135,882).
That bike being the only one in red I’ve seen.

Price new in the US, these were $121,000.

The current AMB 01 PRO model is listed at $183,895, but with extras bring the price up to $195,000. Only 88 are slated for production. Not only do you get a power bump to 225bhp, but a crazier paint scheme to boot.

If Aston Martin survives is questionable. With 2025 losses of GBP 495,000,000, and debt of GBP 1.38 Billion. I doubt it. I could have told them this would happen, when they changed to being a luxury lifestyle brand, instead of an automobile manufacturer.

These seem to hold their value. If they are an appreciating asset remains to be seen.”

As always, good luck to the buyer and seller!
