Of the 500 Limited Editions built, 199 came to the US. The number wasn’t marketing: it was exactly what AMA Superbike homologation required. HotCars has a good breakdown on what made these special if you want to go deeper. (Thank you Matthew Bell for such a great write-up!)
Most of those 199 got raced, crashed, or had their original components swapped out. The dry clutch was a high-wear item and one of the first things owners changed. Finding one with the correct clutch intact is a good sign. This one has it.
Bodywork looks clean and the bike rides well per the seller’s video. One commenter noted that the blue wheels appear to be the correct original 18″ units, not the 17″ the listing states. The seller confirmed they’re original. Worth a closer look if you’re buying on spec correctness.
The Yoshimura exhaust and Slingshot carbs are upgrades, not stock, but they’re the kind of upgrades that fit the bike’s character. A commenter called them “excellent.” Hard to argue.
Clean examples have been selling in the $20,000 to $26,000 range. At $19,500 with the auction ending tomorrow, this one is sitting at the low end of that with 13k miles and an honest presentation.
We’ve covered these before. The older RSBFS post has the full breakdown on what separates the LE from the standard 750.
Good luck to the buyer and seller!
