Hi

North Leicester Motorcycles has some in sometimes.

Also the guy in Italy who bought up the stock of VDues:-

http://www.vdue.it/eng/altre.htm

He has a couple of SB8Ks listed at the moment.

All the best

Well I know of the SB8R and teh Special.
I'm also aware of the SB8K Santa Monika and Gobert (which Bimota still promoted on their site last year but apparnetly not anymore).

I just didn't know of the prototype and I can't really find anything on the site you listed either, at least nothing particular on the prototype that's for sale in one of the shops.

I heard, i may be wrong, that the santa monica's were built out of parts bought at the bankruptcy auction when Bimota closed down(again) Wink

Both http://www.mdinaitalia.co.uk/bike_sales.html and http://www.vdue.it/eng/altre.htm offer an SB8K prototype where the latter also even offers a "regular" Santa Monica.
I was just wondering if there are any technical differences between the two.

By the way Vdue offers the prototype at a better price than the Santa Monica.

Anyways, my love goes out to an SB8R Special Very Happy

Yeah, I know where your coming from with the special but I'd consider just about any SB8 at the moment (cost dependent of course)

I know of few for sale in Belgium, Germany, Austria and Switserland, all Specials.
Price range form €5000 to €20.000 depending on age and mileage.

I have to sell my two bikes before I can buy the one I wont so I'm a bit reluctant to give up data but I'll look up the links and post 'em here, after the 250cc comes in!

lol
It was listed last year in ANtwerp and had 35.000km on the clock.
Don't know if it's still there though.
Original license plate holder was cut off and stuff like that.

Yeah it does look a bit rough, hence the price I suppose Laughing
