Bimota Back in WSB

Bimota will be fielding a two bike team for the 2014 WSB season. Great news for bike lovers. Hope they do well.

They should look pretty speccy.

Yes, it's running the 1000RR Bemmer power plant, with a claimed 190hp. They have to produce a minimum of 1000 units by next December, so a few lucky Ozzy's may get their hands on one.

That would be lucky Aussies with cash!  

I spoke to Chris Vanmulan  who is the dealer up here . He said ,great bike ,but no one can afford one .

Makes you laigh when the BMW S1000RR can be had for around $20k on road. I'd expect the Bimota will be nearly double that.

Well, a standard DB8 is about $48,000.



But the one with a carbon fibre swingarm is ................................................... $88,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (not a typo).

No one !   I doubt that.  If he could get one. Someone out there would buy it.

Yes I Have seen a DB8 and sat on it in Australia.
Been told 3 in Australia so far.Standard is 48 grand but the big 1, full race is 98 from what I`m told.
To look at they are a work of art.I could have stood and looked for hours.
With a duke 1198 sitting under it the bike is very slim and looks small with a 19 litre tank to boot.
You have to see to admire the quality of work put into this hand made machine.
Would be nice to have money........................lol
still prefer a Bandit, parts are easier to get.
