2000 Bimota SB8R with 2852 miles located in Chula Vista, CA listed for sale on ebay.
It’s Italian, has a v twin engine (although this one comes from Hamamatsu, Japan) inside, and it’s generously endowed with carbon fiber bits, Paoli forks, and CNC machined parts. It can only be the Bimota SB8R (well, it could also be an SB8K, but those come up later):
Gorgeous Ultraspecial Machine. Collectors or serious Bimota fans only, please
This beautiful handcrafted italian motorcycle sold in very small numbers (+/- 150 units produced). This is one of the few opportunities you will have to get your hands on one with very low mileage and impeccable condition. Carbon fiber, titanium, Paioli suspension, Antera wheels. Only the highest quality components were used by this boutique italian manufacturer of dream machines to produce this highly exclusive work of rolling art.
It has been ridden occasionally, always maintained at the local Bimota certified dealer, and displayed with pride. It has never been raced. No damage, no modifications, no accidents. Ever.
It looks and feels like nothing else because there is nothing else quite like a Bimota.
*** Offers above $11,000.00 get a new (never installed) set of custom built race exhaust pipes ***
I only accept communication from prospective buyers, no publicity requests are welcome.
I’m slightly confused about the last sentence – so does listing it on RSBFS qualify as a “publicity request”? If you are the seller and are reading this and have a problem with this listing, please let us know. Seriously. =)
OK – back to the bike. The SB8R, with a Suzuki TL1000R engine inside, is a fab bike no doubt. And this one, I would wildly guess, probably has a reserve price set at $11,000, which also buys you a set of custom built race pipes. Most of the SB8Rs have been floating around this price range. Here’s a list of previously featured SB8Rs.
The beauty of the TL1000R engine is that it gives you Japanese reliability with the best of Italian motorcycle handling. Some have even said that the Suzuki v-twin engine is better than ones from Bologna (shhh…don’t let the Ducatisti hear this)! In any case, if you want an Italian v twin without all the Italian “personality” traits, give this one a go. Oh, did I mention that it’s a Bimota (which is one-up on a Ducati) as well? .
