Here’s something I never thought I’d see – Orange County Choppers building a superbike…sort of. Covered as part of the show American Choppers, a team that normally builds custom choppers came together to build a frankenbike of sorts. It looked like a stretched Yamaha R1, but was powered by a turbocharged V-Twin and was complemented by Brembo brakes, BST wheels, …
5,285 Miles – 1994 Yamaha FZR600
Post-Listing Update: This FZR600 did not get any love at $2,995. Sold between ’89 and ’99, the FZR600 was an inline-four powered sportbike with a Deltabox frame. In many markets, this bike evolved into the “Foxeye” FZR/YZF, in 1994, though Yamaha kept selling this model for another 5 years. Here’s (VIN: JYA3HHE07RA070904) a low mileage example in a rare color …

5-9 Update: Find this Laverda Jota for sale in Dripping Springs, Texas with bidding up to $8,100 and the reserve not yet met or a BIN of $14,795 here on eBay.

1978 MV Agusta 750S America
View Post762 Miles – 2010 Triumph Street Triple R
Post-Sale Update: This Street Triple R sold for a lowered BIN of $5,600. I’m one of the (apparently few) people that prefers the styling of the previous gen Street Triple, with the round headlights. Because of that, I like this Matte Blazing Orange example being offered by the original owner with just 762 miles and a few choice extras.

1,226 Miles – 1965 Honda CB77 Superhawk
Claimed to be 100% correct and in immaculate condition, this beautiful Superhawk is almost entirely original – the only repro parts are the seat cover and tubes from the carb to the air cleaner. It’s a numbers matching bike that has been disassembled and repainted, then put up as a static display in the seller’s home. Will you put it …

1 of 25 – 2010 KTM RC8R Red Bull Edition
In 2010, KTM started importing the RC8R to the US. To celebrate, they released two limited edition models, both of which had just 25 examples produced. One was the Akrapovic Edition (reader Zack B. actually found one for sale just 3 days ago), the other is this post’s subject – the KTM RC8R Red Bull Edition.
1990 Ducati 851
Released in 1987, the Ducati 851 was a technological leap forward that made Ducati relevant in racing again. As a later bike in the series, this ’90 got the bigger 17 inch wheel and better suspension. In 1990, this bike won the SBK World Championship. Two years later, the bike had evolved into the 888. This example has just 8,000 …
