Here are a whole gaggle of them: http://tinyurl.com/6a7qym Most are at dealers from what I read.
I agree that a Mantra  will be sought after by "Some people" in the long run. I like how unique it is in style  .
From a sport bike point of view it can be made nakid and would be a great bike. You would also preserve all the parts for that day when you sell it.

My dad has one. I've seen it in person. It is easily the most ugly thing I have seen on two wheels. I think the designers must have been on something.

A red one? I hear they are rare. Speaking of him, I not seen a post in a while, did he fall off the planet?
Satansfist, just stick to your ideals and never mind those who do not understand modern art. Where are those smiley faces?

Hahaha...I aree with the Hammer, gotta be one of the ugliest bikes made, I was just looking through Bikepoint ans saw there were two Bimotas for sale (very unusual) and one of them was the Mantra (even more unusual) plus I was bored on my nightshift at work.
Like I said if I had 10 grand I'd consider it, but the other bike was an SB6 for 10 grand too...

Hmmmmm but the record shows you like them and it will remain so for a long time. You know how the net is, once it is out in public. 
And for those looking for more Mantras, here are 8 more! Hard to believe so many people had such good taste! http://tinyurl.com/6a7qym
