FS: Bimota YB7

*Sigh*. "Lifestyle change" or somesuch. I haven't been able to use the
Bimota very much this year and it doesn't look like that's going to
change anytime soon. TBH I can't even be *rsed to MOT it again because
I know it'll just be a waste of time.

So, here we go:

Early YB7 - chassis 43 out of 321 made - registered on an F
plate. 400cc FZR400SP engine, somewhat tuned by Bimota. White bodywork
with red/black/gold coachlining. 8500-something kilometers on the
clock, I'm the first UK owner.

Has had a full service by a Bimota specialist last year and done
bog-all kilometers since then. Probably about 300km, actually.

Good overall condition, the main bad points are:

- Front tyre will need replacement soon, has about 2.5mm tread left.
- Screen has a crack. Not an MOT problem, just doesn't look very nice.
Replacement screens are available from NZ.
- Some hairline cracks in the front fairing around the mirror mounts.
AFAIK they all do that.
- Some strange polishing marks on the original can - maybe someone
tried to polish out some scratches. No idea, it came like that.

I don't want to sell it, but I have to be realistic enough to accept
that I won't be using it as often as I should and this isn't doing it
any good.

GBP1,700 to this crowd as it is (with no/short MOT and tax until the
end of this month). MOT is most likely a case of dropping it off at
the local bike shoppe, but I don't have the time to do it.

No haggling. It's hard enough for me to sell it as it is, so don't
insult me - it's a bloody good price as it is.

Tempted, sooo sooo tempted.

Gaw'an, you know you want it.

I might even offer rather generous payment terms...

 

Timo Geusch says...

I can't, really I can't

 

Lozzo was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:

Well, I was going to offer you a test ride but I think that may be
construed to be 'cruel and unusual punishment' in this particular
case.



On a somewhat more serious note I would be *extremely* happy if it
went to you because I know it'll be looked after properly and treated
well.

You mean caned to within a micron of its existance?

That's the way they work best - turn the volume up to 11.

 

No, he means stripped and sold as parts.

This thread is exhausted.

 

Not until a trapp is laid for someone else to slip-on.

 

Probably in the headers....

 

Hang on a mo,tad too quick to jump to that conclusion, aren't you?[/QUOTE]

I tend to post at all speed.

 

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember

something like:

What a gas.

Have we exhausted all options yet?

 

I'm still trying to write this down, but I've can't find a biro - I'll
have to use a quill.

 

There's an art to using one of those.

 

Having to line the thing up to within a Micron or so.
