For those who participate in the occasional track day, a little masking tape and the removal of mirrors is enough. For others, a dedicated track day bike – usually an inexpensive or well-used model with track-specific changes – is in order. Take that one step further and consider a full blown race bike. If money…
One of the oddities offered up by performance boutique bike builder Bimota (say that a few times fast), the Mantra was – to put it bluntly – a brand failure. It is probably not fair to write off the Mantra completely, however, as the ovid-tube frame made its way to the DB4 (as did the…
The SB6 is one of the most powerful Bimota produced. Fitted with a tuned Suzuki GSX-R 1100 water cooled engine, it delivered a whopping 146 hp when new.

I like this trend we’ve been seeing lately with exotics that aren’t display only pieces. While readers from advreader.com are probably snickering at…
Anything interesting for sale in UK you ask? I sure think so. That red numberplate is always a sign of something special. In my humble opinion the most collectible of GSX-R’s, the 1989 RR. It has almost 18,000 miles on it but it sure looks like a sharp example. Asking price is 14,980GBP which is over $22,000! …
