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

Zero-mile Bimota V-Due on eBay

Wed, 04 Aug 2010

A RARE opportunity to snap up a zero-mile Bimota V-Due two-stroke race replica has come up for grabs on eBay. Launched in 1997, the V-Due was fitted with a 500cc, liquid-cooled, two-stroke, fuel-injected v-twin engine. It was the first time Bimota built an engine in-house, instead of sourcing engines from existing bike manufacturers.

EICMA 2012: Bimota BB2 Concept Revealed with BMW S1000RR Engine

Fri, 16 Nov 2012

Bimota revealed a new concept sportbike at the 2012 EICMA Show equipped with a BMW S1000RR engine. The Bimota BB2 concept is the first product of a new partnership signed with BMW that would see the German manufacturer supply S1000RR engines for Bimota. The S1000RR engine has class-leading numbers, with the 172.4 hp we measured in our 2012 European Literbike Shootout a 10.4 hp advantage over any literbike we dyno’ed for that shootout or the Japanese Literbike Shootout.
