1999 Bimota DB4

In Italy, Sport by AbhiLeave a Comment

The Bimota DB4 Tricolore followed the Italian firm’s modus operandi of taking a well established engine from another manufacturer and surrounding it with beautiful Italian bodywork. Using a frame similar to the Bimota Mantra, this successor wasn’t much of a technological advancement. Think of it instead as a moving piece of art.

Per usual, the Bimota was well spec’d (though they interestingly dumped Ducati’s fuel injection and went with dual 38mm flat slide carbs. This bike is claimed to have the Corse kit, which crammed every available option from MotoCorse and high compression pistons to create a 944cc screamer that had an original MSRP near $60,000. It has just 400 miles and recently got a service including a valve adjustment, new brake and clutch fluids, and new belts, petcock, and battery. It has spent the last few years in display and as such the seller suggests the un-used tires should probably be replaced if you are planning on riding it.
