So what has happened to Bimota? - Ducati.ms

citrusboy · Feb 10th, 2010, 1:28 pm

Their US Website is gone. I just called Erico Motorsports in Denver and was told they "Sort of" still resell Bimota. Ducati Miami was a little more enthusiastic but has not had any email responses from them in weeks. (In regards to parts)

I am just trying to get some parts for a DB6. Not looking good.

Just checked and Bimota USA's website is up: http://www.bimotaamerica.com

If you need help with parts, check with Ken Zeller (Ken is around here on the forum) of Evoluzione Cyclesports or Bob of Bimota Spirit - both are very knowledgeable and helpful with anything Bimota related.

Hi Ken,

I need the Headlight assembly for the DB6. Are you the guy with a direct supply chain to italy?

Thanks froryde! I just checked and it's up! Guess I should have been checking daily. I just sent in an email request.

Ah forums. What would we do without them....

Something is certainly amiss, despite the web site being "up". I have been waiting since July for a set of DB4 belly pan fairings that I ordered from Bob at Bimota Spirit. In fact, he saw my parts on the shelf when he visited in August and was assured at that time that they would be shipped in September!

I've gotten the same story from Bob on a DB4 half fairing, "It's there I saw it". I too have been waiting a long time since last may I believe.

Ken can you help us out?

Ah Progress! Nicky (Woman) at Erico in Denver, received an email back today and I have placed an order for the headlight assembly. 3 days from email to response. Better than anticipated. We shall see how long it takes to ship...
