Well I recognize the engine and the clocks 
£10K? Hmm, I think there are better deals to be found.
There was one with 5600km on the dial for sale in Austria last year, only €10K!
But yeah, those vids are beautiful!
That bike is so sexy it's not even funny anymore...

Yes definitely. A week after I bought mine I was looking on Flea Bay and saw one not quite as nice BUT £2.5K cheaper 
They're like bloody buses...nothing for ages then 2 come along at once  Do yourself a favour...once you've bought one...stop looking

Shut it 
Working on it but I'm affraid it 'll take a bit longer than I anticipated.
The missus isn't really warming up to it yet.

I've got the opposite problem, my missus wants a Bim too so I thought she can have the 6R and I'll get an 8RS. Didn't think it would be so hard to find one  |

Well there a few available, no?
What about the one in the UK?
I've been told the dealer is usually prepared to make a deal so you might even get it below the listprice of £10750.
Does John Baldwin still have his for sale too?

I don't really want to pay quite that much when I can buy SB6 and SB6R's all day long for around £4000. I know a SB8 is going to cost me a lot more but £10000........... 
Who is John Baldwin? |

Friend works in a local bike shop and they had someone interested in part exchanging an SB6R. Guy had only had it about 6 months but had paid about £5.5k. No way could they give a trade in price that would have made the seller happy and still got close to breaking even on the deal.
All the best

That I can belive. Can't trade mine in anyway as a) It's been streetfighterd so no one will want it and b) I need two bikes |

The reply from Mr. Baldwin is...........
I do still have the Bimota but it is not for sale. It is such a
special bike we leave it on the web for everyone to see.
John
Fat lot of good to me  |

Yeah bummer.
In any case, it would've been more expensive than the 10K one in the UK.
