As you know, I've thought to buy a Bimota Tesi 3D but the price is crazy and the french importator seems don't want give me a trail for the only one he has and which isn't new. The bike was used for motorcycle reviews test.
I'm thinking that I want in fact a Bimota and not necessary a new one.
Have a look on Internet and discover some to sell. Week after week the bikes are still to sell and they're the same price as a new 600 road bike and really cheaper compare to a anew 600 super sport.
Prefer a japanese four cylinders big bore so selected a SB6R 25000 kilometers at 6500 euros but the seller lives at 500 kilometers from Paris, a YB11 5700 kilometers at 6900 euros near Paris and a SB6 with 237 kilometers from new but at 17000 euros near Paris.
Have give a call to the SB6R guy. Nice guy but the bike doesn't seem perfect.
So decided yesterday to see the two others near Paris except if the two towns are around 40 45 miles from Paris they aren't close.
Took my H1 and go to see the first one with a bad weather. Have seen the bike and except the non standart turns lights and the cuting rear mudguard, interesting: new tyres and the mileage seems real.
Then went to see the other and do a 50 miles on roads very funny.
Arrived to the other shop at night but the guy said the bike wasn't here. The owner is a collector and the bike is on his leavingg room.
He must call him, pick up the bike on a van and so on. So must come back next week.
Came back on the full night and rain to the last 50 miles on the highway.
Have done around 150 miles of an intersting small trip with my lovely H1.
Wait to see the SB6 but, as you know, the problem with very very small mileages from new bike is the high price go very fast down if you use it, and I want to use it. So will try to have the price lowered and if it'sn't go to the YB11.
