Information Bimota?

was waiting for someone else to have a go but decided it's not conventional Bimota but might be a Bimota Special as intimated, as tube layout at front of frame does mimmick an early frame* a little but upper and lower main rails are closer together (on yellow frame) and lacking available possible torsional ability as a result.

*DB5 below.

 

If you have a frame and engine number I would contact Ducati factory direct in Bologna. They are very good at providing info on vintage frame and engine numbers.

 

I was taking the piss.

 

still nothing like the freaky later stuff though Sev.

 

The frog prince story perhaps later down the line.

 

Nope and not meant to be read that way, but it doesn't look anything special at the minute to me..

 

Viv., thanks for covering my arse again, much appreciated.

 

If it turns out to be ‘special’ maybe Bimota themselves might be interested in it for their museum?

 

and let's face it, that's a lot of covering - Alaskan King bedcover comes to mind.

 

The links below may help?

Good luck.

Here is a bimota I have been working on, you can see the frame design.

 

Yes, it could be. I've only been working on the engine, the owner needs to do a bit of tidying up as it has been a slightly neglected in Japan.

 

Loving this thread. I have no idea what it is but it’s great to learn along. Let’s hope it’s a real Bimota. I had the pleasure of riding one once in South Wales. Brilliant.

 

Welcome, and good luck finding out what it is you have!
