I’m a little late on this summary, but there were way too many great examples to miss last week.

1993 Honda NSR 250R MC21 SE For Sale in California – This bike is priced a little on the high side, but it’s titled and registered. Such a great looking machine too!
Honda CBR900RR – 14 Good Looking Example For Sale Right Now! – Turns out the soon-to-be-classic Honda CBR900RR isn’t that rare right now and it was easy to find numerous examples of clean and unmolested bikes. Strike now while they’re still affordable and available!
1997 Ducati 900 SS/SP Supersport: Only 400 Miles! – Well what can I say, this is bike is practically brand new and it’s yellow. What’s not to like?!
1993 Ducati 888 SPO: Yep Another One For Sale! – Building your stable of modern-classic Ducati’s? The 888 SPO should be on your list and here’s another beauty for sale.
A Pair of Classic Yamaha Two-Strokes For Sale: Yamaha RZ350’s – Two RZ350’s for sale right here in the Pacific Northwest.
Surfing the Local CL ads: 1997 Yamaha YZR1000R Thunderace For Sale – This is a random find while surfing my local Craigslist. It’s a fine looking machine and I’m looking into how hard they are to find considering this one has an asking of just under $6k!
1976 BMW 2002: Beautiful Resto-Modified Example For Sale – While I think the price on this one isn’t very palatable, it’s beautiful to look at and well done.
1984 Volkswagen GTi For Sale: Nice and Clean on eBayMotors – Early VW specials like the GTi and Scirocco are heating up in the market as folks my age recall their high school years.
I’m Bored: 2007 Ruf 3400K Coupe 25th Anniversary Edition Coupe – A little outside my wheelhouse for regular postings, this was too delicious not to post. I may have to look in the price segment more often.
1995 BMW 540i M-sport Dinan V8 6-speed blk/blk For Sale – These have always appealed because the S38 is such an expensive motor to maintain and eventually rebuild. You get all the e34 suspension, looks, and wheels but with the simpler and meatier V8 to match.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this week’s picks. If you have a car you’d like me to keep a look out for, just leave a comment below and I’ll be happy to look out for you!

I must apologize for the delay, but I’m in Springfield, Missouri this week and the internet at the hotel isn’t stellar. In fact it sucks. And on top of that, I’ve been swamped at work, so there are fewer posts than there have been in previous weeks. I will work harder to make sure I’m better connected on the road in the future.

But without further ado, a summary of posts from other sites I blog on that I hope dancrouchblog.com readers will enjoy:

{update: Image thumbnails removed due to technical issues. I hate working from the road!!}

1987 BMW 325IC b+b For Sale, as in Buchmann of Germany! – This car is loaded with hard to find (possibly impossible) period aftermarket pieces of Bachmann of Germany.
Euro Spec 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo For Sale – The car pushes some buttons for me: Great color, rare European specification, and great looking upgrade rims.
1985 BMW e24 M635CSi For Sale: aka RARE and Affordable! – This is my pick of the week without a doubt. This low miles, European spec example is a bargain at $16k if it checks out. Other M cars of the period are routinely listed at or over $20k.
1988 Porsche 944 Turbo S ‘Silver Rose’: One of the most Rare 951 Configurations – One of the most sought after configurations amongst Porsche 951 enthusiasts.
1991 Bimota YB8 For Sale with only 1 Mile on the Clock! – It’s a crime this bike was never ridden. But if you need a museum piece for your living room, this would fit the bill nicely!
1994 Honda RVF400 For Sale in San Fran – As you know, I’m a sucker for 400cc gray market bikes!
1993 Ducati Superbike 888 SPO: So Are These Rare or Not? – I’m joking a bit in the title, but it sure seems like these are coming up for sale more often than I’d expect.

Thanks for reading at dancrouchblog.com and my other sites. Please let me know if there are vehicles or topics that you’d like to see addressed. Leave a comment!

If my Ducati 750SS represents the entry level model for 93, this represents the top of the line – and by a wide margin!

1993 Ducati 888 SPO w/ 15k miles on eBay:

1993 Ducati 888 SPO

1993 Ducati 888 SPO, exceptionally clean for the year. This bike has been stored for the past six years, but engine started and ran occasionally. Timing belts have been replaced, valves have been adjusted. Bike includes 50 mm Termignoni carbon fiber exhaust, snowflake full floating front rotors, Ohlin rear suspension and a Corbin vented seat. Bike runs super strong, it pulls like a big block Chevy on steroids. No problems of any kind. Handles like nothing you’ve ever rode. Bike has virtually new tires but should be replaced because of age. The bike has been well maintained throughout its life. This bike was GPS at 172 MPH. The 888 was the begining of Ducati’s Super Bike Racing Championships. The SPO was only produced for 2 years, 1993 and 1994. Check out the production numbers to the U.S. in 1993, I’ve included a picture. Would be a great bike for any collector, you definately will not be disappointed in this bike.

Of course I’m joking about their rarity, but when you’re on the constant look-out, there’s more to find than I’d expect. And as a modern collectable, $9k is a pretty cheap entry price if she checks out.
