Rare SportBikes For Sale

2007 Bimota DB6 LE Delirio Azzurro for sale on Ebay.

I must admit I’m usually not a huge fan of Bimota design, but I really like this one. Bimota paired a Ducati 992 V Twin with their stellar design and this DB6 LE is the result. New, used or slighty used with 219 miles Bimota’s are usually priced well out of my price range and this one is no exception. Retailing for around $30,000.00 this Delirio Azzurro isn’t for the faint of heart or the guy who has a skinny wallet. But, don’t run away just yet because you can buy this LE for a mere $25,000.00 and save thousands . Bimota only produced 23 of these and did so in honor of the Italian soccer team for winning the World Cup. That’s a pretty good honor eh?

The “Azzurro” Limited Edition DB6.

The Delirio, Bimota’s “naked” bike, the DB6 has been stripped of anything unnecessary and features highly technical chassis innovations. The front wheel features a 12.5 inch wavy disc, a Marzocchi Corsa fork and 4-pot radial Brembo callipers. The trellis frame and swing arm are linked by aluminum plates. Quick steering, instant punch from the 992 cc air-cooled V-twin Ducati 1000DS engine make the front wheel lift instantly. But the 375 lb beast has no problem stopping with such powerful brakes. The Delirio delivers outstanding performance, engine and framework, complimented by an agressive but comfortable riding position

Some info from the listing:

This bike has been housed in door garage, maintained in perfect condition and has extra carbon fiber parts, which are included. This bike has only traveled 219 miles.

Only 23 in the world and superb styling make this LE Bimota one of the rarest that the small Italian company has produced. This is an opportunity for any collector interested in Bimota’s. You can .

Cheers!

This is a nicely restored YB10 with some extensive engine modifications.  Located in Bremerton, Washington is a 1991 Bimota YB10 Dieci.  The YB10 features adjustable, 42mm, USD Marzocchi forks; 38mm downdraught Mikuni carbs, and Ohlins adjustable rear shock.  The YB10 weighs in at 407lbs dry, 65lbs less than the FZR that donated it’s motor.  This particular example is restored in a stunning yellow that looks very nice if not correct.  The seller states that it has extensive motor mods that include:

Falicon lightened and balanced crankshaft,performance rods,wiseco 1040cc 11.5:1 piston kit,rd valve springs,OW01 camshafts,41mm Keihin flat slide carbs,Has been ported and polished cylinder head. Custom paint,remus exh, ohlins rear shock,custom body work,custom oil cooler.

This bike isn’t original but it looks to be in fantastic condition.  The odometer looks to have less that 500 miles on it.  With the unoriginality of the bike and extensive engine modifications, this bike should be a weekend rider but, at $20,000; it’s price puts it higher than any YB10 I believe I’ve seen and too expensive to put any measurable mileage on.  If it strikes your fancy as it does mine, see it on CycleTrader here.

I know it must seem that we give Bimota’s a lot of attention on RSBFS, but that’s because we do! Seriously though, I never seem to grow weary of the Bimotas. Each and everyone is a beautiful piece of motorcycling art. This newest post does have a few flaws, but nothing that a good paint and body guy can’t fix. Take a look and see what you think.

Owners comments:

Up for Auction is a one owner Bimota YB-11 motorcycle. It has 3419 miles and is in great shape. It has the Arrow slip-on installed from the factory. I was recently serviced in December 09 and is ready to show or ride. It is owned by a 64 year old since new. No time to ride it and has a few small imperfections as noted in the pictures.

The owner mentions the small imperfections, but in my honest opinion (i know they all stink) they are a little larger than small, but nothing that can’t be fixed by any stretch. I didn’t bother to bring them all over to RSBFS due to the size, but should you be interested they are well documented on ebay.

We had another YB-11 posted back in October, that was priced considerably less than the $9,995 B.I.N. price on this one. These are still formidable machines even though they are 13 years old. When you couple Yamaha’s Thunder Ace 1000R motor with Bimota’s build knowledge and styling savvy you’ve got a bike that will be competitive and good looking for a long time to come.

Cheers!

First off, I need to apologize to the reader who sent this in originally. I must have deleted the email, but it is much appreciated and better late than never. Thanks for everyone’s submissions and keep them coming. dd

Up for your viewing pleasure is a very fine piece of Italian exotica known as the Bimota YB11 Edizione Speciale. This one is #4 of 50 made available to the buying public and only has 29 original miles. Located in St. Louis, MO with a asking price of $10,900.00. This one is decked out in an unusual Blue/Silver scheme as most of the Bimoto’s we’ve posted have been the traditional Italian White/Red/Green color schemes. I know my co-author Phil is a Bimoto guy and he probably has all of the specifications on this particular model, so maybe he’ll chime in here and give us the 411. As some of you may know the YB11 uses the Yamaha Thunderace power plant, but Bimota applies their knowledge and slightly modifies it to suit their taste.

The seller doesn’t give any information about the bike other than a phone number. So if you are in the mood for a a piece of exotic Italian machinery give this one a look because $10,900 seems like a great deal when compared to the others we’ve posted. Did I mention it only has 29 miles?

Cheers!

Located in Durham, North Carolina is a 2006 Bimota SB8K.  With an original MSRP of $34,995; this seems like a pretty good price at $18,900.  See this bike on Craigslist here.

Just read Dan’s post about the RSBFS meet up in Seattle – now, I’m REALLY envious. Should be a blast, so you guys have fun (and post lots of pics please)!

Right now I’m sitting in a cheap hotel room in Taiwan, but of course that doesn’t stop me from bringing you rare and tasty bikes for sale around the world.  So what did I find?  A :

Seller’s description (Google translated from German):

Vyrus further developed the Bimota Tesi 1D and then put this bike before the public on various trade fairs under the name 984 C3 2V. As for powering the air-cooled, 84 hp is payable Ducati V2 engine at 992 cc. Additional services will be mobilized through the Ram Air system, with increasing speed. The bike itself does, according Vyrus 154 kg on the scales. The rear wheel suspension is made of an aluminum swingarm and the front wheel is guided by the motorcycle in a very unusual way, the axle steering. This wheel location was found even at the Bimota Tesi 1D from. The suspension on the front wheel suspension taken over by air-assisted shock absorber, which is attached laterally. In the stern sits a centrally mounted air-assisted shock absorber. In short: a hammer part …!!! And as far as I know it’s been delivered one of the first ten machines. The mileage is around the 5000 [km]. The bike of course is in immaculate condition.

If you think Bimota is an exclusive boutique builder, then Vyrus is even more so, offering only two hub center steered models – the 984 c3 with an air cooled Ducati 2V engine, and the 985 C3 with a water cooled Ducati 4V engine – from their small Rimini (Italy) based workshop. Coincidentally, the Bimota Tesi 2D was built by Vyrus for Bimota, so this 984 C3 is essentially a Tesi 2D but without the Bimota logo (note: the Vyrus looks different from the US version of the Tesi 2D with coil over shocks and sans flyscreen, but the Euro spec Tesi 2D looks exactly like this bike).

Like the Ghezzi-Brian posted earlier, when was the last time you’ve heard of a Vyrus up for sale?  I know it’s based all the way in Switzerland, but if you’re in the market for something like this, what’s a ticket to fly over to pick up the bike in person, ride the Alps, and sample some Swiss cheese or chocolate?  Hmm…sounds like a perfect Christmas vacation!

Update 1.8.2010: Rory has sent us an update on the remaining bikes. Please contact Rory at vtauto@sbcglobal.net for further information about the remaining bikes available for sale in the collection.

Rory and his business partner have contacted Rare Sport Bikes For Sale to alert of us of a collection of 17 bikes that will soon be for sale.

His message included the following details:

My business partner, Lee and I are trying to help his neighbor sell the bikes owned by her late husband. The 17 bikes that are left to sell are primarily sport bikes and they are all somewhat special in one way or another: Limited Editions, grey market, low (or no) mileage, etc. It’s taking some time for the widow to have the bikes re-titled in her name, but we are now getting to the point where we need to figure out how to find buyers looking for the somewhat unusual bike.

And here is the list I was given:

Clearly a collector with discerning taste, and pieces that match our theme here perfectly. Please leave a comment below if you’d like to see a particular piece of this collection processed sooner than later.

Thanks for contacting us Rory. Looking forward to seeing this collection go to new homes! I’m wish I was reckless enough to consider a second mortgage and the penalties on draining my retirement to get in line for some of these!

Next up tonight is this great looking Bimota YB8 for sale on Craigslist Seattle:

quote from seller’s listing:

This hand built Italian bike is a one owner with 5,458 original miles. All original condition. It has been garaged for 6years and needs carbs cleaned.
If this is the type of bike you would like to own (unique and very few made)

I’m hoping Phil will leave a comment as our resident Bimota expert. $13k sounds a bit rich, but tis the season and who knows what a collector’s spouse might justify for the right bike.

Found this one while I was searching this morning and it should please any of our Bimota fans. This SB6R has been modified quite a bit, but they are all very tasteful and should maintain the integrity of this classic exotica.

Owner comments:

The accessories include large diameter CF sport mufflers, K&N Carb Jet kit, with a high flow fuel pump, Gold Ti coated fork tubes and a 530 chain and sprockets conversion. The carbon fiber frame protectors, CF one piece belly pan, CF inner fairing panels, CF mirrors and CF front cowling really sets this bike apart from any other SB6R.
The contrasting gold top triple clamp adds a touch of color.

The instrumentation is by Stack: 8130sp electronic rally dash. The handle bars have Salamander anti vibe bar ends. The shock reservoir clamp is made from billet stock.
Ignition is by Dynatek 2000, this system includes 3ohm coils and is multi adjustable with variable (1&4) (2&3) spark timing.

Front brakes are by “Braking” wave rotors. The calipers are K.A.D. six piston monoblock. All the pads are new.
The rear rotor is titanium including titanium rotor bolts front and back.
The foot pegs are Vortec.

Suspension: Paoli 46mm RSU forks, fully adjustable. Ohlins rear shock multi adjustable

Engine modifications include a properly installed and tuned Cosworth 1199cc 12.5:1 compression big bore piston kit. Lightly ported cylinder head and degreed stock cams.

If you’re in the market for a Bimota this one might be for you. The owner has listed several contact numbers for anyone interested in more information. I really like all of the Carbon Fibre on this one. Very nice indeed!
