2007 Bimota DB5-R for sale with only 700 miles!
Since I was going through a little RSBFS.com post withdrawl I had to steal this one from our resident Bimota expert. Sorry Phil!
Up for grabs, on ebay, is this awesome 07 Bimota DB5-R that is chock full of tasty bits including a Ti Zard exhaust. I think I’ve mentioned before that I’m not a huge fan of Bimota, but this one definitely makes me the newest Bimota fan on the planet. I don’t want to offend any die hards, but I think I see a little RC8 in the front fairing and a little Ducati in the tail section of the DB5-R. Powered by Ducati’s dual spark 1100cc V-Twin along with Carbon Fiber bodywork and sporting Ohlin’s fully adjustable suspenders at each end make this a true piece of Bimota exotica. My research shows a very mild 92hp at 8,500 rpm’s, but when equipped with Bimota’s light weight package it should feel very quick. For me this is probably Bimota’s best looking cycle.
Have a look and let me know what you think:
Pretty sweet eh?
Check out this video and listen to it rumble.
If that doesn’t make the hair raise on the back of your neck you don’t have a pulse!
Quote from the listing:
If you are looking to stand out in the crowd this is the motorbike for you. This motorbike has never seen a track. This bike has always been kept in my garage under a cover. The bike is only ridden when the weather is perfect. Currently the bike has a ZARD exhaust system. I still have all the original parts and manuals. Also, the bike has all the stickers from the factory.
With a starting bid of $18,000 and a B.I.N. of $25,000.00 this one isn’t for the faint of heart or anyone who is light in the wallet. But, if you’re in the market for a super cool, LE piece of Italian art your ship…er… motorcycle has come in.
Cheers!

One of their best looking modern era bikes in my mind. Power looks low by today’s ‘standards’ but I suspect for more than half of the buyers of such bikes, it won’t need more than that anyway.
