Did you purchase this bike from Ebay last year?
The only reason I ask is that I saw a very low mileage example for sale in your part of the country, just after I bought mine! I remember the advert stating that the bike had been stored, and it looked like the guy had several outbuildings on his property.
It was a classified ad for £6,500. Same bike? ![Confused](images/smiles/icon_confused.gif) _________________ Seven |

I did see a special before i bought this one in exeter and it was going for £15000 a bit high as it is only black paint and ajustable rear sets , and you can still get them from the factory for £350 so why the high price i did think of respraying mine black at one time ![Shocked](images/smiles/icon_eek.gif) |

I think you are making a big mistake by not keeping this bike.
I have 3 BIMOTA SB8RS bikes and they are great bikes.....
I understand your feeling with you legal battle and all, but you won didnt you...I would think that this would only strengthen your bond and desire to keep the Italian beauty that you fought so hard to make your own...'
It will be hard to replace this bike. The SB8R BIMOTAs are really quite good bikes. They are light weight, have great handling and top suspension. The Suzuki engine is really sweet too, and you can fairly easily get more power out of the engine without loosing reliability...
Good luck with you sale.....

I do still love the bike and i am getting it mot'd this week , i put it on ebay to see what is about , my bike is totaly standard and i don't normaly do standard as all of the bikes i own and have owend have been improved in some way .ie better cans, upgrade eprom chips lots of carbon , better rear sets and all that , but im afraid to do any thing to this bike as it so new but i would like to improve the cans i have been on to the factory but they don't make the carbon ones anymore but i can get the gold rear sets for about £300 as i need ajustable sets as i have a duff left knee.
do you know if any other make of bike will fit i know that R1 ,gsx1000, and early fireblade won't fit .I did go around my local bike dealers with a tape checking all the bikes they had in stock but no luck
did you say you have 3 sb8r's ![Shocked](images/smiles/icon_eek.gif) |
