Which model Bimota should I buy?

[Bimota fan]

I'm ready to add a Bimota to the stable and I'm looking for advice. I currently ride a Ducati S2R1000 for the canyons and a BMW K1200S for two up. I am an experienced rider however I am inseam challenged with a beer belly. The model that seems to make the most sense is the DB6R but I feel it is too similar to the monster. I like the looks of the DB5R but the riding position may be too aggressive. A dealer has a new one available with the 992 engine for $20K, which fits the budget. To me, the Tesi 3D is one of the coolest bike I have seen but is close to $30K. I value all opinions especially because I have not yet riden a Bimota.

Thanks,
Steve

1st, welcome to the club!

2nd, speaking from my own experience, once you ride a Bimota, you'll be hooked....so get your checkbook ready.

3rd, check some of the previous posts by "dnovo"...Dave's ridden/owned most (if not all) of the new Bimotas, and I find his criticisms & remarks to be accurate, at least for the bikes that I've also ridden.

See you out there,
Bruce

i have a local (so. cal.) customer that has asked me to help him sell a couple bikes including a brand new tesi 3d (0 miles) and i know it will be under $30k.

Check out the salt lake city bimota dealer...they have had some truly exceptional deals on existing inventory.

I vote for the Tesi because the hub steering design is a work of art

I flew into San Francisco it must now be 4-6 months ago.
They had a Tesi 3D at a dealership, might have been a 2008 Zero miles
new for $ 24,000 sometimes they just need to clear inventory.

I posted this TWICE BEFORE about this discounted TESI
I have never heard the guys here on this Forum even comment on this great price , maybe silence is the key since they might have spent way too much for the ones they bought.

Just wanted to see someone get a good price at the time they had it for that low price

$24K is a great price! (there - I've said it.)


I still vote for the Tesi

Thanks for all of the replies. $24k for a new Tesi is very attractive. I will give the dealership a call in the morning.
