[Barfridge]

Doesn't look very modern. I could see that coming out 10 years ago.

[Satan1]

I like because i like early 90 s bike

Even the colours are old school.

That's because they did come out ten years ago (nearly).

DB4 in 1999 and SB8K in about 2001 I think.

aah, fair enough, sorry

ha ha Barfridge!

Don't worry, with Italian bikes not all is what it seems.


I was reading the other day that one factor which sent Bimota broke (along with the vdue) was a whiz bang satellite based communications system they were setting up to communicate with their dealer network! Wah?!?!?!?

[kwakas]

are they insane?? what's wrong with the good old interwebz?

Here's some videos of various Bimotas: ‚ç‚¢‚إ‚،‚ٌ‚®ƒiƒrپFپmƒIپ[ƒgƒoƒCپnsideriver

They look to be done by Motocorse or something.

Speaking of Motocorse, they have a nice looking SB8R: ،ع³عإ·»ش¾ى،غbimota SB8R (USED MOTO)،§MOTO CORSE



It's Y1,680,000 which is around $AUD16,200.

Gillys had a SB8RS is their shop for ages, wonder what happened to it?

[rod]

It is owned by someone who owns a Yamaha dealerhip (Midland Yamaha I think). It was at the Yamaha shop up the back or something. I called them to find out if it was for sale and if I remember correctly it was $29k or something. When it was at Rick Gills they were asking something like $22k. The owner was apparantly in no rush to sell, which explains the price. There was some discussion about the compliance of the bike - some people here thought it couldn't be complied but the owner says it's registered so that one's still up in the air.

Actually, the SB8R and the DB4 both came out at the end of 1998 when the company was trying to dig out from the V-due disaster. Too bad as both the SB8R and the DB4 were excellent bikes. (The SB8K came out a bit later, just before the company went bankrupt. The new company sells the K model with minor paint etc update as the now-current, "SantaMonica." I suspect most of these were built up by Trogon when he tried to save the company before the current ownership bought the name and inventory and the plant. The "current" SB8 bike is really just using up what is left of chassis and engines in the factory if being built at all rather than just supplied from existing stock and shouldn't last in 'production' much longer. All of the recent production is Ducati powered.)

Here is mine, a 2000 model still new in crate when I picked it up earlier this year for less than the cost of a 1098. There are also a couple of new 2000 model DB4ie models here in the US for about $12,000 USD.

Welcome dnovo, it didn't take you long to find the mysterious PSB! I have been lurking at ducati.ms lately whilst contemplating my next purchase and have enjoyed reading your posts in the Bimota section! I love Bimotas but have never quite gotten to purchase one.

I can see where Aprilia got some styling cues for the RS125 & 250's from the photos above. Beautiful machinery!
