Are you still racking your brain over what to get that special motorcyclist in your life for Christmas (or Chanukah, for our Jewish readers)? Was the Paul Bird Motorsports MotoGP race bikes that are for sale a bit too spendy for your holiday budget?
Then we have a more budget friend proposition for you: the Bimota BB3 WSBK-Spec race bikes that were raced by Team Alstare in the 2014 World Superbike Championship.
There are three bikes in total available: Badovini’s factory WSBK-spec Bimota BB3 (€65,000), Badovini’s EVO-spec Bimota BB3 (€45,000), and Iddon’s EVO-spec Bimota BB3 (€45,000).
Owning a Bimota is a pretty rare treat in-of-itself, and certainly owning a Bimota BB3 means having the pinnacle of performance available from the boutique Italian brand. A race bike from Bimota though, now that’s something special (we still lust over the Bimota HB4 Moto2-spec machine).
Bimota Alstare showed great promise on the race track in WSBK this year, though ultimately had their results voided after the Bimota factory couldn’t make the homologation numbers for the 2014 season.
It seems unlikely that the factory will return to WSBK racing in 2015, especially now with the team unloading some of its inventory.
Their loss is some collectors’ gain though, and interested parties should contact Greg at Team Alstare, greg@alstare.com, with serious inquiries.
