I like the Bimota Story - 25 year anniversary. It's a nice summary of the company.
My YB8 is an '89 model yet the brochure states they were made from '90-'92. Bimota comfirmed my year of manufacture themselves and I have a copy of the original German rego papers from '89. Did they have too much cheap Italian wine on the day of making the brochure and get the dates wrong? |

Thanks Atomibart. I've been hoping a $50 copy might turn up. Looks like I could be waiting for a while _________________ What, Jonny's gone! |

Perhaps cheaper to learn Italian and buy one in that language...only ones I've ever seen go at that price |

I was on the lookout for about 3 years before I finally got one for about $200 Ausie $$$ delivered. They are getting good money for them. As 2bims says, Italian print ones are cheaper. _________________ '99 DB4 #104, '96 SB6 #1165, '94 DB2 J #652, '99 DB4 #088, '08 VTX1800, '93 ZXR750R M1, '95 ZXR750, '95 ZXR750 Race Bike, '94 CBR400rr NC29 Race Bike, '94 CB250, '49 BSA C10 250, '61 BSA A10 650, '89 ZXR750, '91 Ducati 851 |

2bims, not being a linguist, cunning or otherwise, I have devoted myself to pasta consumption, in the hope that they would throw the language in for free. Disappointed thus far, I comfort myself that it's better to be doing it, than reading about it:lol: _________________ What, Jonny's gone! |

Knopv, thanks for the heads up on that book. I don't speak or read German but after doing little research, I found that it has lots more pictures than text so I ordered one. I figure it be like Playboy, I never really read the articles there either |
