Hi George and welcome to Bimota ownership.
We try to make the forum experience as close as we can to Bimota ownership.
So you will find it 'difficult to understand why its was done like THAT !! ' and 'very frustrating ' at times , other times it will be your ' best mate ' and then just when you think you getting the hang of the ' Italian way ' it will be broke for weeks , with no explanation why and will quite often just start working for no apparent reason . Shocked

Once again welcome to the world of Bimota. Very Happy

DB7 , nice !! What is your normal ride ? got an 2008 DB7 myself .
You using it on the road ? thye are set up FIRM !!

Welcome George, can't wait to see pics of your DB7.

There are simply no other bikes like Bimotas... Enjoy riding and drooling over your bike...

Welcome George, I had been watching that on eBay. Looks like you got a great deal.

25000$ seem a bit expensive for a DB7, you can have them at 13-14k€ in Europe (for the cheapest ofc, usually they're around 17-19k€ wich is still less expensive..)

Anyway, welcome ! S1000XR, Brutale... you have some great tastes in bikes ! I have myself a 1090RR and I'm looking for a Moto Morini Granpasso ^^

Been a while since I have seen a DB7 at €13k in Europe , and at that you would not really touch it.
First one I bought was a real dog , but hard to see that from pictures , next one was zero mile and a bit more expensive . Shocked
Most in Europe seem to be around the €19k mark now with some over €21k, seems even the Europeans have upped their prices these days.

As with everything its supply and demand and what someone is willing to pay.

Personally the DB7/8 is worth every penny. Very Happy

There is one in Italy right now with no price, asked the dealer about the price : 14000€.
Only 1400km, almost brand new, but yeah, you're right about the db7-db8's worth every penny ^^
