Default Newest addition

well... the new addition to my stable may be on the way early next week unless something unforeseen happens. Price and shipping has been secured, and the wired funds are just a click away. Not bad for a 14 year old bike

From what I hear, you gotta know how to wrench to own a Bimota. Nice bike nevertheless.

I don't know much about Bimota bikes. You got specs or any other info on it? Congrats.

hahaha... fur sure

Even though the owner and i have come to an agreement, I may drag my feet a bit... there may be something WAAAAAY better on the horizon (ie 45). You know its not like going into the local dealer and seeing if I can qualify for financing with a co-signer. these (not just the bimota's) bikes are very very hard to come by, and when you do, they may not be in the best condition. this one seems like a decent buy for the price. The tracking down and the negotiating is half the fun for me. I was within a **** hair of an Ago last week but the seller pulled out, seems that the tamburini he wanted is out of his reach so he chose to keep his Ago. that was a sad day.

Wrench, whats that ... 25 years of motorcycling experience and I still have not learned to use a left handed muffler wrench

Bimota is a chassis maker... yes, the 5 valve genesis engine. Which is cool for me. I am very familiar with that engine, I was an original owner of the original 1987 Delta Box FZR1000. All bimotas bikes use others engines, save for the 500cc two stroke V-due. I think that is there own design. Any of you like vintage stuff, you have to check out World Superbike during its first two years of existence... bimota was in there at the front with the factory teams... although D. Polen won two championships in a row... Speaking of that, I'm looking for a 888SP is anyone knows where one is

i dont know much about models of Ducatis (regarding SP and SPO and what you're looking for), but there is an 93 888SPO for sale in my area. Wow ... The ducati's around here don't seem to pricey.

And when you say Ago, what do you mean by that? Augusta?
