That’s exactly what the title says – and yes, it got my attention too! In any case, here’s a fuel injected Bimota DB4 i.e. with BST carbon fiber wheels and plenty of titanium and magnesium goodies for sale in Cincinnati.
VERY RARE only 9 Imported to the USA. 950 miles. $15k in BLING. BST Carbon Fiber Wheels, All Bolts inside and out are Titanium. Lots of Magnesium and Titanium Factory Race parts. I have new OEM take off parts also. Way to much to list. Car trade 911, BMW M3 M5, Audi TT, Mazda RX 8. I am a 43 year old Ducati Bimota Tech. I built this bike for my self. It is in MINT PERFECT CONDITION. Should weigh in at @ 320 pound and never on the race track.
The DB4 i.e. (only made for one year in 2000 I think) differs from the from normal DB4 in that the i.e. is fuel injected and is a biposto. Normal DB4s have been running around the $8-10,000 range, so this one with BST carbon fiber wheels and titanium and magnesium race parts should be in the $13-15,000 range. Normally I am skeptical of “race part” claims, but I have dealt with the seller in the past and almost purchased another DB4 from him, so I know he is legit.
Please tell me someone actually rides these things. Another extremely low mile Desmosedici is up for grabs. This particular bike is number 144 and has a whole 67 miles on her. The seller also states the bike as all updates. Can a Desmosedici owner out there give me some insight on what that refers to? The bike is listed as a classified and can be had for a cool $55,000. That price is not far off the mark compared with what the last couple of Desmosedici have sold for on Ebay. Unfortunately for me I’m still $54,000 short.
Take a peak:
With Rossi now signed, will the next verison of the Desmosedici have a big yellow 46 splashed on it and some crazy paint scheme? I don’t know about that but I’d find it hard to believe they wouldn’t do something special with Rossi on a Ducati, especially if he wins another championship. If you don’t feel like waiting for that bike to materialize you can .
Update 8.11.10 – this one is back on ebay for round #2 and the link is live
Location: Naples, FL
Miles: 2,060 miles
Price: $26,000.00
The 998R has proven itself to be more elusive than the $75,000.00 D16RR. How do I know you ask? Well, because we, the North American Rare Sport Bike Authority, have posted far more D16RR Desmocidici’s than 998R’s! The proof is in the pudding….okay so it’s not pudding, but it is in the RSBFS archives.
With an original MSRP of $28,995 I have to believe the asking price of $26,000.00 is a little out of range at this point and time. I know of another 998R that has been for sale a long time, is priced at $20,000.00 and is in the same condition as this one. Make no mistake I’m not saying there isn’t someone, somewhere willing to pay $26,000 for a 998R, but there is a limit for even the rarest of the rare.
Fully equipped with top notch Ohlins suspenders, Marchesini 5-spoke light alloy rims, and a 999cc Desmodromic engine cranking out 140hp at 10,000 rpm’s. One could make an argument that this is Ducati’s best Homologation Superbike or at least I could argue it. This is by far my favorite Ducati Superbike and although I will never own one in my current financial state, it remains on my short list for when my Lotto numbers get drawn.
Very rare 2002 998R. Perfect condition. Street legal and registered. I have all parts originally associated with bike in
order to build back to race spec. as imported. I hold a loan on the bike so please allow approx. 2-3 wks to receive all
paperwork/title. Buyer is completely responsible and liable for shipping of the bike.
We’ve had a few of these rare Paso’s on RSBFS lately and here is another.
From the ad:
1988 750cc L twin Ducati Paso LIMITED. Very rare one of 50 imported into the USA and suposedly to Ducati enthusiasts only and it is unlikely that all are remaining. The bike was special for its unique white paintwork but it was also documented the engine build received special attention at the factory. Approx 5500 miles pretty much all orginal however the original fiberglass bodywork has some stress cracks in several places. This bike is valued higher than other Pasos and is highly regarded in the Paso global community. The bike needs nothing and can be ridden without any work required. Tires and brakes are good. Comes with clean GA title and factory manual. Little has been written about the Limited but from what I understand that the Limited is the single most rare “customer” Ducati produced in the 80′s. Frame numbers were nos 25-75. Mine is nos. 65. $3995 obo
If you are wondering what makes the Paso Limited different I found this list on a Ducati forum. I can’t vouch for how accurate it is but it does kind of follow what the seller has in his ad.
The mechanical differences include:
1) Ported Cylinder Heads
- Including special tapered Valve Guides
2) Flat-top Pistons (same compression ratio) allowing unique Combustion Chamber
3) 40mm Exhaust Header
4) Special “Off-Road Only” Silentium Silencers
5) Different Spec Webber Carb
Submitted to RSBFS.com by it’s owner is this fine piece of Ducati exotica. Oozing with Carbon Fiber, Ducati mystique, racing heritage and Ben Bostroms signature on the tank.
It looks to be in great shape and well cared for. The Bostrom 998s is on my short list of bikes to own and I’ll be searching for one of these right after I own a 2 stroke for a year or two. So, if you’ve already owned a few of your dream bikes and the Bostrom 998s is the next one on your list now is your chance. Jami has it priced fair at $12,899.00 (why not make it 12,998? ).
The seller also has a few other Ducati’s for sale and has made a nice video on youtube.
I said “moving sale” not “fire sale”. You are still going to have to fork over some serious coin for this one. How many of you guys out there bought one of these things and never rode it? Seems like I’ve come across quite a few with little to no miles on them. Ducati owners are a strong willed bunch to not be out there riding these things. This one has never even been started by the owner! Are you kidding me, you didn’t even crank it up to here that glorious sound? I bet that is a crime in Italy.
Short and sweet from the seller:
1 MILE !!! NEVER RIDDEN, TRACKED, TIPPED, STARTED, ETC.
MOVING TO THE BEACH AND NO ROOM IN THE NEW LIVING ROOM.
BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL – THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER BIKE LIKE THIS AND THIS ONE IS A CLEAN AS IT GETS
The bike is actually listed as a classified with a buy it now prcie of $50,000. I think he is right on target price wise. I posted a new in the box desmosedici and it went for $48,000 not more than two months ago. I guess the real question is do you have the guts to put some miles on it? Well at least start the darn thing. Check it out.
This is a great example of the end of an era motorcycle. They stopped making the 900SS after this final edition run of 300. The bike is numbered 236 of 300 as shown by the authentication plaque on the triple clamp. This has been carefully maintained the valve adjustment has been done , new cam belts, new plugs and battery fresh oil and fluids. It is also equipped with a Corbin seat.There are some minor scratches on the exhaust cans and tail section, There is a chip out of the paint on the right side as can be seen in the pictures. Winning bidder must arrange shipping. E mail with any questions.
The auction is ongoing and the bike has a starting bid of $6,500. Jump on over here.
This is a great bike and in wonderful “rider” condition.
That means this bike has been ridden. It is not a museum queen that has been parked.
It has a few miles under the belt but is in pretty good condition for its age.
The bike carries a set of Keihin Flat-Slide race carbs on it so it has the “race rattle” of the flat slides to go along with a STRONG running 1000cc Yamaha engine.
All operator manuals, service manuals and factory tool kit are also included.
If you are looking at this auction and are a serious collector -then you already know how rare these old Bimotas are here in the USA.
If you are looking for an original Bad Boy Bimota with a large capacity 1000cc Yamaha in-line 4 engine that can actually be ridden down the road on a daily commute or regular trips up and down the street for Bike Night, this is the bike for you.
Beautiful Condition and under 1,900 miles
Factory original everything. Gi.Co.Moto pipes are the only modification (stock pipes are included).

2008 Bimota Tesi 3D – serial #0000 – with only 1040 miles!
Another post, another Bimota, and another one of my favourites from the marque. Can you tell I like Bimotas? And this one is the very special hub center steered Tesi 3D:
If you searched for this brand of motorcycle, you already know what you are looking at. Unquestionably one of the most exotic and rare motorcycles on the planet. Owning this bike was a dream for me since the first time I saw one but unfortunately financial circumstances force the sale of my baby. Rather than retype all the manufacturer details, please visit the following bimota website:
2008 Bimota Tesi 3D with 1040 original miles. This motorcycle is sure to gather a crowd wherever you take her. Incredibly gorgeous in person and so much detail that you can literally stare at it for hours and find something you never noticed before. An engineering and machining marvel with a forkless front suspension, trellis rear swingarm, omega aluminum frame, and carbon fiber bodywork. This bike is powered by a very reliable Ducati 1100cc engine. This bike has a very comfortable riding position and a great power to weight ratio due to it’s light weight.
Another intersting aspect of this particular bike is that the VIN number ends in 000000 meaning it is the first Tesi 3D to hit american shores. This bike was also the actual bike photographed and tested at Miller Motorsports Park by one of the mainstream US motorcycle magazines. This bike was purchased from an authorized Bimota dealer on an MSO. I am the first owner. Clear title in hand and ready to go.
The motorcycle does have a couple of minor flaws that were there when I originally purchased her. I have attempted to capture these issues in the posted pictures. The issues are not significant and could be corrected by the new owner. They were never enough to bother me and were never noticed by anyone of the hundreds of people who have stopped to galk at this bike. These flaws consist of:
- chipped clearcoat in rear fender (clearcoat only, carbon fiber is unaffected)
- chipped/cracked clearcoat area on front fender (again clearcoat only, carbon fiber unaffected)
- small indendations in aluminum rear section of right side of swingarm and scratches in trellis (touched up so very difficult to see) presumably from an inproperly place swing arm stand by the “professionals” at the magazine that tested this bike
- minor dings in upper fairing where hand controls bump into fairing at full lock. This is a design flaw and cannot be adjusted out of one side. The marks were present when I bought the bike and I was able to adjust one side to clear but the other cannot and be in a functional position.
Retail on this bike is $36,900. My reserve is far less than that. Own this dream bike at a fraction of the original purchase price. Please feel free to ask questions
The mainstream US motorcycle magazine is none other than Cycle World (Feb 2008 issue) and they did test this bike at Miller Park. The first production batch (I think 29 for the US market) had a wet clutch, carbon fiber tie rods and CNC machined brake and clutch reservoirs on top of the triples, as opposed a dry clutch, steel tie rods and plastic reservoirs on the later production units.
If you’re wondering how that front end works, check out the video of one of Motocorse (Japan importer of Bimota and makers of exquisitely fine motorcycle components) test riders flogging a the 3D round the the Tsukuba circuit:
Watching the 3D overtake slower bikes on the OUTSIDE gives me goosebumps!! Oh, .
This is a very good looking 748RS with 400 total miles on eBay!
Bike: 2001 Ducati 748RS
Location: Salt Lake City, Utah
Mileage: 400mi
The seller states that this 748RS has only been used ten times with four of those times being races. This bike has always been owned by a dealership and is still on MSO. This bike is stock except for the silver paint and decals. The bike has recently been inspected and is said to need nothing.
This bike is a factory Ducati Corse item for use by privateers and as such requires a large amount of routine maintenance, parts replacement, and inspection. A lot of this is inspection but there are major issues such as inspection and replacement of the cam items at very low mileage (compared to a street bike) intervals. Don’t get me wrong, these are fantastic bike’s but, if you think maintenance schedules and parts costs are outrageous for the R series bike’s, this one’s probably not for you. However, if you’re looking for your own piece of Ducati Corse history and either want to use it as art, or have the pocket’s to run it, this bike IS for you! Supposedly only around 20 of these were brought into the U.S. making them very rare but, are a factory race item so it’s to be expected. If you’d like to bid on this nice 748RS, see it on eBay .
