Well that Bimota is gorgeous

    Bimota has always been hit or miss IMHO. I have a db4 and my friend has a db2 and sb6. I find those 3 gorgeous. The 4 (air cooled 900cc Ducati) is even nice to work on although you do need to pull a fairing to add oil. I've heard that the 6 is just a fiasco.

    All 3 are real pleasures to ride on the street. Light and nimble. Quality suspension.

    I go hot/cold on the kb4. Hope to see one in person some day.

    Popular and relevant because Bimoto demonstrated how to build a proper sportbike

    I rode one of these while visiting a friend in Japan in 1998. It was interesting.

    I made my friend panic when I pulled away from him, as I starting riding on the right hand side of the road. Luckily, I remembered the country I was in about 1.5 seconds.

    The DB4 with the tricolor paint job and moto corse exhaust is one of my all
    time faves.

    The guy I bought my 748 from has this one sitting in his garage. It’s got a little oil drip and the carbon exhaust is a bit discolored but I’m keeping my eye on it as a possible good deal pick up in the near future. 8015BA14-CD56-4DA4-8DEA-C8447DA3AA7E.jpeg

    Only Bimota I ever fancied was the 88’ YB7. FZR400 powered…can’t not like that.

    Although I have never seen one in person, just photos in bike mags, I recall drooling over a SB8 RS.

    I have a friend that has a SB8 like that. It's freaking awesome in person.

    They’ve always been an interesting company. Congrats on the addition to your collection!

    With the direction Bimota has turned to in the past few years, I'll be looking at a Vyrus if I want something truly beautiful and dripping with Italian goodness.

    The pic from the side is screaming out for an Amazon paint scheme and logo. I certainly appreciate all the bits but looking at the whole kinda hurts my brain. I'm sure it's an amazing riding experience, hope you actually flog it!
