Motorcycle racers are all aware of the NSR50, Honda’s beginner race bike that has started plenty of careers and passions. But for one year, just 50 examples of the Honda NSF100 were also imported to the states as one of the best ways to get into road racing.
2003 Foggy Petronas FP1
Post Listing Update: This FP1 did not get any interest at the opening ask of $52,500. The FP1 was the result of Sauber and Petronas coming together in late 2001 to compete in MotoGP. Their GP1 prototype was powered by a 989cc triple, but Petronas decided to instead tackle WSBK and so the engine had to be modified to fall …

View Post1982 Suzuki RGB500
Suzuki’s RG500 was a celebration of 7 consecutive constructor’s titles in the 500cc class. The twin-crank, rotary valve rocket epitomized what we all love about two-strokes, particularly power and noise on the pipe.

Between 1963 and 1967 (and only in the United States), Triumph released a series of ready-to-race bikes (dubbed the TT Specials) to the public.

1978 Bultaco Pursang 370
