Original Owner – 2006 Bimota SB8K Santamonica

In Italy, Sport by Abhi1 Comment

When the Bimota SB8K Santamonica was released, a Ducati 999R was $30K…this had a MSRP of $45,900! So, what did you get for your money?

As per the usual Bimota formula, this bike takes an exotic frame, carbon bodywork, and high spec components (Ohlins suspension/steering damper, OZ wheels, Brembo brakes, etc) and pumps it full of life with another manufacturers engine. In this case, it was the V-Twin engine from a Suzuki TL1000R, reliably putting down over 140 horses and 75 pound feet of torque.

This bike (VIN: ZESS899616R000011)is being offered by the original owner, who has put 8,743 miles on it. It’s claimed to be in excellent condition, though there’s some stone chips in the paint and general wear as to be expected, like on the nifty triple clamp:
