Bimota DB Mantra, With Ducati Motor description

 1998 Bimota  DB 3 Mantra. 

Original new price was $ 20,000. 

BIN is less than half of that.

........................Reserve a bit lower

 Added it to my collection in 2004 with only 8010 miles.

Rare red color with only 25 made from what I have read, 

with a total of 454 made, mostly yellow.

To clarify: The Mantra comes with a Ducati motor as produced.

Motor is original in this bike.

Looks and runs well. 

Brake and tail light now working, since video was made.

  You Tube video:  

LARGER pictures can be e-mailed, direct if closer look for blemishes is desired.

 Bike always stored indoors , and run every couple of months to keep healthy.

Have very large bike collection being thinned down to make more space.

See pictures.

Numerous pictures to show the good and the bad of it.

Overall, a pretty well preserved bike.

 Videos  on  You Tube. 

64 year old owner, former bike wrench and former shop owner.

Every effort has been made to show condition of bike with pictures and video.

Can e-mail better, larger pictures directly , on request.

Bike in good cond, though no warranty expressed or implied. Sold AS - IS .

Payment by cashier check, must clear for bike to be released.

Chase or Wells Fargo the quickest.

Cash , in person, works, too. :o)

Reserve lower than Buy It Now  price, though Buy It Now goes away when reserve is hit.

To would be snipers:

I don't blame you, though be careful in that the connection can freeze up in the last minute.

Bid early and often, since bike subject to local sale and auction could end early.

 

Thanks........... Chris
