Bored with current Superbike offerings? Need something different, something exotic, something nobody else has? How about a 1999 Bimota SB8R, Italian as it gets, but powered by a nice, reliable, low-maintenance 1000cc Twin from Suzuki’s long-gone TL1000R?
Chock full of carbon-fiber and all your daily requirements, this thing’s only clocked 6,800 miles, and $12K doesn’t seem like a bad place to begin the haggle… give us a ride if you buy it?
The bike is in Topanga Canyon (near Malibu, CA), the ad is here.

Interesting that it's in Topanga and advertised in the San Francisco Bay Area. I guess the seller is hoping for a young buyer who makes lots of money at his modern technology job.
Nobody's gonna talk about the fairing? We're ignoring the horns?
Okay, fine. Guess we're ignoring the horns.
