You are bidding on truly exceptional condition Bimota SB8R.  I promised myself wouldn't sell it but have some other priorities right now and she needs to go.
This example is number #18 out of 250 ever produced, with just 50 SB8Rs officially imported into the USA.  Hand built Italian super bike weighing in at around 380 lbs dry and 135 HP.
This Bimota is truly stunning, especially considering it's 18 years old!  The red paint is vibrant red, white is very clean and the carbon work is amazing.  The only imperfections that are all quite minor are the barely functional mirrors (look good for display though) and tiny little crack in the "carbon tube base" where it meets the fuel tank (I pointed it out in the picture with my finger) but even that would be very easy touch up, if you even noticed it. (From someone over tightening the screw)
The bike is pretty much stock other then carbon Arrow Exhaust, pot ISR calipers (rebuilt in 2016 with receipt), aftermarket kickstand (stock ones are known to collapse) and adjustable rear sets.  I have the stock exhaust and few other things in box.  Bike starts right up as it should with the choke engaged and is currently sitting in our warehouse in ventilated bubble as seen in the last picture.  Will need tires pretty quick though if you're planning to ride.  If you want to fly in and ride it back, I'd be willing to have new tires installed prior to your arrival at your cost...the labor would be free though.
I've been huge Bimota fan since they first came out but back then they were out of my budget and just poster bike.  The workmanship with the beautiful gold forks, CNC'd fork legs, carbon fiber frame and beefy swing arm are truly Italian Art.  The reason the SB8R is one of my favorites is that it utilizes the TL1000R motor which means you get the Italian style and an exceptionally easy motor to work on whereas some of the other models are belt driven Ducati's and much more expensive to keep running.  This is one of the few collector quality motorcycles that you can actually ride.  It's not small bike by any means (I suspect it may be large for anyone under about 5'10) but it's exceptionally well planted on the freeway, excellent torque, fantastic brakes suspension and much more comfortable then many of my prior bikes.
I've been shopping for one for years but they were not the condition was looking for or perhaps didn't trust the source.   
Title is clear, in my name and CA registered (under Non Op).  If you want to ship, no worries.  I use Federal Transport (owned by Allied Van Lines), great guys!
For sale locally so may end the auction early if the right buyer comes along.
