YAMAHA RZV500 V4 1985 only 18,000km Price:
€7200 in stock
This was the world’s first production model to mount a
liquid-cooled 2-stroke V-4 engine. As the flagship model embodying Yamaha’s
sports spirit and also as the fastest road-going model of its day, the RZV500
stood proudly above the rest. It was the direct descendent of the YZR500 works
machine that Kenny Roberts rode to the championship title with six wins in the
12 rounds of the 1983 World GP. The engine boasted new advances in 2-stroke
technology like giving the forward and rear banks of cylinders different
induction systems; piston reed valve in front and crankcase reed valve in the
rear. The RZV500 is the japanese model that has full adjustable suspension,
aluminium frame, magnesium cases, over the European RD500 that doesn't have all
that.

NSR 250 MC28 SE Super Edition (Dry Clutch) only 12000km
Price: €5500 in stock
On November 11, 1993 the
all new MC28 model NSR went on sale in Japan as a 1994 model. It was completely
different than previous models and changed peoples thinking about two stroke
technology. The new Proarm NSR's as they became known in Japan were the ultimate
250 bike for the street. They had PGM IV technology which allowed more accurate
control of the carbs, smooth operation and perfect driving manners unlike past
two stroke bikes. The all new Memory card replaced the standard key and made
de-restricting the bikes very difficult. The 1994 lineup saw three types of
NSR's for sale once again. There was the standard 250R type model in fighting
red and Ross white. They were sold with a regular wet type clutch and non
adjustable suspension. They were priced at 680,000 Yen.
The SE model was priced at
720,000 Yen and came with the fully adjustable suspension front and rear made by
Showa plus the dry clutch and different colored front disc rotors. SE colors
were the same as the standard R type in fighting red and Ross white but were
marked SE and the NSR logo was in bright yellow. SE models also were sold in
blue and white with orange accents and also were marked SE but the NSR logo was
white.
HONDA RVF750 RC45 #64 of 200 Price:
€18,000 in stock
We are proud and honoured managed to
import the First HONDA RVF750 RC45 #64 of 200 homologation
special in Cyprus.
The privileged few assure us, it rides like a magic
carpet, turning, braking and tug-tug driving with an aloof deliberateness that
is unimpeachable. The fastest two-wheeler on every road The RC45 comes close.’
– Bike magazine. Replacement for the exotic VFR750R (RC30), the RVF750 (RC45)
was another racer-for-the-road and even more exclusive. Like its illustrious
predecessor, the RC45 was a thinly disguised, limited edition, ‘homologation
special’ intended to provide Honda with the means to win the World Superbike
Championship, a feat it achieved in 1997 with American John Koscinski riding.
Although clearly related to the RC30, the RC45 took development to the next
level, there being scarcely a single component that had not been carefully
scrutinised by Honda technicians with a view to improvement. Developed jointly
by Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) and Honda R&D, the engine remained a 90-degree
V4 with gear-driven cams, but was an all-new, more compact design featuring
simplified camshaft drive, narrower valve angle, beefier clutch and PGM-FI
electronic fuel injection. A maximum power output of 120bhp was claimed for the
standard road version, while in excess of 170bhp was attainable with the factory
tuning kit. Basically similar to that of the RC30, the frame consisted of a
combination of aluminium castings and extrusions supporting the familiar
single-sided swinging arm at the rear. At the front however, the conventional
forks had gone, replaced by a set of cartridge-type ‘upside-downers’, while
braking had likewise been improved courtesy of Fireblade calipers and NR750
discs. Hand built on a special assembly line at HRC, the RC45 was necessarily
expensive; at a fraction under £18,500 when launched it cost over 50 percent
more than a Ducati 916! Its high price and rarity ensured that the RC45 would
achieve the same iconic status as the RC30, becoming equally, if not more,
collectible.
For sale HONDA CB750 Four K2 1973 Price:
€9500 in stock
With 18,500 original miles, un
restored all parts original, as new condition
Honda's 750-four was the original superbike; the
machine that redefined the limits of motorcycle performance almost overnight.
Actually born in the Sixties it was unveiled at the Tokyo Show in October 1968,
and released in limited numbers the following year - the CB750 dominated the
early Seventies and had a huge influence on the machines that followed it. Until
the arrival of the Honda, with its broad bank of air-cooled cylinders and four
shining mufflers, mass-produced fours simply did not exist. The CB750 changed all that and went further,
combining its basic appeal with a competitive price that included refinements
such as a disc front brake and electric starter. It was the Honda's engine that
created all the impact. The angled-forward 736cc unit's design used many lessons
learnt during Honda's days of racing multi-cylinder machines in the Sixties,
although the roadster relied on a single overhead camshaft and two valves per
cylinder, in contrast to the racers with their twin cams and four valves per
pot.
The CB750's output of 67bhp was mighty impressive
at the time, though, as were the smoothness and reliability with which it was
delivered. The CB was designed as an all-rounder, with a view to sales in the
important American market, but was good for over 120mph despite its high, wide
handlebars. Handling, however, was only adequate, with the flex-prone steel
frame and harsh suspension later coming in for criticism. But in the excitement
of the CB's arrival few riders were put off by that - especially after veteran
Dick Mann had proved the four's sporting potential by winning at Daytona in
1970. Honda sat on their laurels a little, barely
updating the 750 even when Kawasaki launched the faster 900cc Z1 four years
later. In fact, the CB was detuned slightly over the years to reduce emissions.
When Honda finally revamped it in 1976 with the so-called Super Sports CB750F -
complete with flat handlebars, bright yellow paint and a four-into-one exhaust —
the new bike's top speed was only 115mph.
The single-cam CB750 soldiered on for a full
decade, finally being replaced by the 16-valve CB750K-a disastrous bike that
combined poor handling with a series of mechanical problems. Bui the memory of
that first great superbike remains with the faithful.

Honda's NR (New Racing)
V-four
motorcycle engine series started in 1979 with
the 500cc
NR500
Grand Prix racer that used oval pistons. This
was followed during the 1980s by a 750cc endurance racer version known as the
NR750. The oval
piston concept allowed for eight
valves per
cylinder which generated more power due to the
increased air/fuel mixture throughput and compression. In 1992 Honda produced
around 300 street versions of a 750cc model, the NR (often mistakenly referred
to as the NR750), with a 90-degree V angle. Whereas the NR500 had used an oval
piston with straight sides, the road going NR750 used an elliptical piston with
curved long sides. The bike became the most expensive production bike at the
time when it was selling for $50,000 and with the rarity, nowadays they rarely
change hands.
The oval piston concept continued in the NR750 endurance
bike, which made a brief appearance during the 1980s. Finally the technology was
transferred to the road, at least on a limited basis, in the bike simply
referred to as the 'NR'. One of the most expensive road motorcycles yet offered
for sale, a limited number of the NR models was sold in the early 1990s with a
750cc version of the engine capable of developing approximately 125bhp at
14,000rpm in standard form. Although a heavy machine by modern standards, it
incorporated a range of technologies and design features that have now appeared
on more regular models.
What's most special about the NR750 is its engine. The NR is
clever in many respects, but the it is the engine that sets it apart from any
other motorcycle. This liquid-cooled V4 motor uses oval pistons, no less than
eight valves per cylinder and features a highly sophisticated fuel-injection
system. A 32-valve fuel-injected V4 750 is an astonishing feat of engineering,
and one which allows Honda to produce a lot of power from a relatively small
package. Each of the two cylinder banks has double overhead cams. Each piston
(they are actually oblong shaped, but with rounded-off corners, rather than
purely oval) has two con-rods, two spark-plugs and eight valves. Why all this
high-technology? Engines using lots of valves, all opening and closing quickly,
can rev higher than ones with fewer valves. With a rev limit of 15,000rpm and an
advanced fuel-injection system, the NR750 produces an impressive 125bhp
(although pre-production prototypes were capable of 140bhp and the racing bike
on which the NR is based was making more than 160bhp). But there's more to the
NR750 than oval-piston technology. The aluminium-alloy chassis is a work of art,
combining strength and rigidity with lightness, and the NR's suspension is the
best money can buy. At the front the NR features massive inverted Showa i forks
and at the back it uses Honda's fiendishly [clever single-sided swingarm
developed for fast wheel changes in endurance racing. But most breath-taking of
all is the body-work, i an impressive mixture of carbon-fibre and fibreglass
that costs more than the total price of any other mass-production motorcycle.
Even the NR's windscreen is titanium-coated and costs more than most people earn
in a month.
The styling of the bodywork is sleek and seductive, the lines
beautiful and the finish higher quality than anything seen before from a
'mass-produced' motorcycle. As far as performance goes, the NR is good rather
than exceptional. There are plenty of other motorbikes that will accelerate
faster and reach a higher top speed, but the NR750 is one of the best handling
bikes on the road, capable of going from 0-60mph in under four seconds and
reaching a top speed of 160mph. The NR750 is so expensive and exclusive that
most people will never see one, let alone come across one on a public road.
Which is a shame because it is undoubtedly the best looking and most exciting
production motorcycle ever made.
