630 Miles – 2006 Ducati Paul Smart LE

In Italy, Sport by AbhiLeave a Comment

Post Listing Update: This Paul Smart was pulled off of eBay due to “an error in the listing.” Here’s a Paul Smart with just 630 miles. It’s claimed to be 100% stock – I can’t remember the last time I saw one with the stock exhaust, which I don’t find particularly attractive. It’s spent most of its life in a …

This might take over as the oddest feature I’ve ever shared – though all credit goes to reader Jim R. for the find.

Between 2010-2012, this BMW R100/7 had a tremendous amount of work done to turn it into a beautiful example of the breed.

Everything works, there’s no leaks – and the paint is so good it’s …

Tiny Racer – 1989 Yamaha YSR50

In Japan, Small Displacement by AbhiLeave a Comment

The Yamaha YSR50 was the most common of the rare 50cc sportbikes that came from Japan in the late 80s and early 90s. An instant classic, the YSR50 was always street legal, but is now primarily used in spec racing. This is one of the nicer examples I’ve seen – most are usually scratched up or rocking replacement body panels.
