DB1 for sale
Guys came across this and though would post up incase anyone is interested, she looks sweet to me. I'm really starting to feel the urge for a vintage Bimota.

Steady On; DB1's are hardly "Vintage", you're making me feel "Old". Besides this one has barly been run in.

I thought DB1's were Yamaha's like their first kit bikes.

Don't forget the bike that made them (and Tamburini), the HB1 (Honda). Only 10 made.
And the BMW Rotax BB1 Supermono.

Also made an HB2 (I own one) and an HB3. No Hondas after that. Dave

By the way, the DB1 in the ad has been heavily reworked and I question just how 'rideable' it will be with a much larger and more powerful engine than the original. Plus why butcher a rare bike? Dave

I kind of agree with that comment, there were a couple down under that were heavily reworked with the 900 motors, mainly for the race track. They work well but have also lost some of thier attraction. The guy is asking about the same money that a pristine DB1RS went for 6 months ago or so; I know which one I would like to get my hands on.

Dave,
Then you are really going to hate my DB2 FE. I think that only about 50% of the original bike remains (and it started as an immaculate original example).
But it's going to be stupidly over the top with trick hardware.

Why would I hate it? If it makes you happy, bless you. Dave
