I really wanted to post up yet another wonderfully weird and definitely non-sucky Buell but, unfortunately for fans of that misunderstood marque, I stumbled across this sharp-edged Bimota DB5R first, so all you lovers of perimeter brakes and double-duty components will have to wait for another day to get your fix. And, in a way,…
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…
This modern Ducati motored Bimota is all about lightweight and compact dimensions. The DB5 is my favorite modern Bimota. The Italian firm has put together a very focused street bike that emphasis handling more than power. Fitted with the air cooled power plant from Ducati’s Hypermotard, the 1100cc V twin is all about torque. The…
Uh oh, the for sale signs are out on Bimotas again which we all know, may cause cases of Bimota-itis. That is where the brain can no longer appreciate a Bimota due to excessive Bimota JPEG viewing. You know what these are so enjoy the pics; but not for too long. I don’t want anyone getting sick. The story on…
Here is the latest round up of bike sales or bikes that saw high bid activity. We’re starting with Feb 25th and moving forward as they hadn’t been reported on in the last Month in Review as they were still open at the time of publishing. Each picture is linked to eBay as they haven’t…
While better respected for it’s chassis and suspension rather than it’s Ducati 1100DS motor, everyone agrees it’s beautiful piece of Italian artwork. As with most Bimota’s that come up for sale, this one is practically brand new with just 91 miles. Original MSRP was $36k, but the buy-it-now on this example is set at “just”…
For Sale: 2007 Bimota DB5-R For many, the DB5-R is the ultimate expression of the modern Bimota. Clean, lightweight and relatively conventional in appearance (compared to the TESI, anyway), the DB5-R is powered by the torquey Ducati 1100cc dual-spark motor. Draped in carbon fiber and sprinkled with CNC-machined alloy bits everywhere, this is a bike…
Cure For The Winter Time Blues: 2008 Bimota DB5R You know it has been a long winter in the ole USA when a guy stuck in Georgia (me) is sick of winter. Nothing can brighten a gloomy February day though than a red, white and green Bimota. Add some carbon fiber, Ohlins suspension, Brembo brakes and a factory…
