    86-87 Ninja 250R, looking for other owners

    I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask or if this 34 year old bike is considered vintage(?), but thought I'd start here. I have a 1987 Ninja 250R. It has been in storage for about 8 years and I'm thinking about getting it semi-restored and running again. It would be helpful to make...

    fiberglass race tank for RZ350

    This fiberglass tank fits an RZ350. I am told by the previous owner that it leaks and will need some minor repair. The cap is stuck closed and I have not tried to pry it open, so inside condition is unknown. There is no petcock, but it appears to use a Pingle screw-in type. Asking $50 Located...

    fiberglass race bodywork for RZ350 or other mid-size bike? FREE!!!

    I have an accumulation of fiberglass bodywork that I will never use. Some of these panels are from an RZ350 race bike that has made its way through several BARF owners. The two white tails are VERY rough. One has some damage, and both were just made poorly. The blue/white panels are in fair...

    SXV/RXV body parts FREE!!!

    I have accumulated too many spares for my SXV and RXV so looking to give away some of the lesser desirable panels. All are usable, but have scratches, bad paint, or both. It looks like there are enough panels to make a complete set, plus a few more. These would make a good "race day" set while...

    WTB: SV650 (gen2) gas tank

    Like the title says, I'm looking for a gas tank for a gen2 SV650. Cosmetics are not important as long as it is clean inside and not leaking. I can't really afford anything really nice anyway. Just need to get a bike running again. Let me know what you have?

    RZ350 re-frame... classic 2-stroke gets modern upgrade

    Part 1, the inspiration and beginning design process: This story begins back about 20 years ago when I built a small batch of road racing frames that were powered by EX500 engines.

    Where to get a moto weighed?

    I'm curious if anyone has any good suggestions on where to get a motorcycle weighed? I've thought about using a bathroom scale, but would like something a little more accurate and less wonky. Anyway, thought I'd ask if anyone has a more reliable way to get bikes weighed. Perhaps a warehouse...
