Talking Bimota puts Buell out of business!

With Buell's recent announcement of their imminent shutdown due to poor sales, who could be next on Bimota's juggernaut offensive to world motorcycle domination? KTM?...Ducati??...Honda???!

I heard Dnepr has their eye (the other eye is patched) on Bimota. Hoping to make a run at the 2011 MotoGP series with an all-new, all-iron-fiber model, the linkup would be a natural. Look for an exclusive homologation street model in the classic Minsk flat-green livery.

A bimota with that motor priced right could go a long way to helping bimota. I guess it's for sale by Rotax already.

I'd go for that ZAWA, but it looks like a deeply discounted CR might be the way to go right now. New OTD just over $5k. Future parts issues might be solved.
