The Bimota market is "odd".
Prices for bikes and parts seem to have a VERY wide range.
Unsure why that is.
Some I assume are buying "what's there" out of fear of missing out.
Others are "shooting the moon" and perfectly happy to sit on a rare part/bike indefinitely. |

I suspect people overestimate the value of items they have for sale but given the randomness in the previous emails it is so hit and miss. Also I reckon it's an easy market to flood given it only appeals to certain type of nutter. I see a certain SB6R is now available at considerably less than the initial asking (maybe he should have replied to my offer on the YB9 after all - not bitter). If I miss the Laverda RGS I'm bidding on I may have a back up. _________________ pkay

I guess it is just basic Supply/Demand for a lot of it.
Yeah the supply is limited for Bimota, but honestly the demand is rather low too. |

Depends on who you are; its a bit "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance". Do you need the real deal or will a print from save as copy from some of the better ebay scanned brochures do. Do you need the genuine 50 quid handle bar shims because the designer stuffed up or will a strip of aluminium drink can suffice. Classicist or Romantic and so it goes on. |
