Redbro has introduced a series of DB4s called the DB4r1, r2, and r3. The "r" stands for "refined", "reborn", and "racing".

r1 - 40mm Mikuni flatslides, Redbro full titanium exhaust, Alcantara seat, titanium coated screem, LED mirrors, custom paint. Limited edition of 35 units.

r2 - biposto, Magneti Marelli digital injection (?), Redbro full titanium exhaust, Alcantara seat, titanium coated screem, LED mirrors, custom paint

r3 - same as r2 but half faired

I still like the Corse Limited Edition DB4c better (and no, I didn't get it either

)

Ah Ha! They have a handy dandy "English" button at the site. Here is their spin on the SB8: http://www.redbro.com/products/ul_sb8k.html

i could find any such button unless you were refferring to the red baron helmet button, but that didnt seem to do much ????

They do look very good, looks like they run about $14,500-16,500.

The 'helmet' brings you to the home page. That page has an English button, then when you scroll down the side, your browser should show you the english equiv as you roll over the button, and that will bring you to products. Dave

There is a dealer near me that has the RedBro Ultimo SB8 for sale. Around $60,000 if anyone is interested. I will try in get a pic for you. I think most are sold out as they only did a limited number of these. I rode the Ultimo for a couple of days while the dealer and MotoCorse were playing around with my supersport. The bike is amazing, but for that price it better be!
The DB4's are all sold out I think. But they did start at around $15,000.
I do have a couple of buddies that work for RedBaron and RedBro if you need something.
Also they had a nice Ducati S4.
But as the first post said, the Corse bikes are alot nicer for the money. Got hook ups there if anyone needs those also.

A SB8 and the roads around Hakone would be heaven on earth.

I agree, $60,000 is simply too much. Since there are still a few new SBR available in the $14-16,000 price range, you could no doubt duplicate the updates and modifications for substantially less money, and have nothing that different than the Ultimo. When all is said and done, it is simply a dealer-built upgrade of the basic model. Nice but capable of being done individually for a lot less money. Dave
