Our garage leans Japanese, but we know a lot of you lean Italian, and some of you refuse to pick a side. Today’s bike makes a good case for the Italians. Tamburini’s masterpiece, the bike that made every other sportbike of the ’90s look like it was designed by committee. Underseat pipes, single-sided swingarm, that nose. It still stops people in parking lots almost 30 years later.
The odometer photo backs up the 4,700 miles, which helps. What it doesn’t come with is any mention of service history, and a 916 that’s been sitting needs belts at the very least before anyone gets brave with it. Also worth a closer look: that white tail section and the Öhlins shock peeking out from under the seat. The 916 experts in the comments can tell us what left Bologna this way and what didn’t.
For reference, a yellow 1998 Biposto with almost identical miles sold for $15,251.
So: fresh belts and ride it, or does it go from one basement to another?
Good luck to the buyer and seller!
