Take a look at our pics from the presentation of the Bimota 2009 Oronero (Black Gold in Italian) that was presented at the 2008 Eicma Milan show.
It’s a limited edition and will go on sale in February 2009.
If you fancy it and would like to buy it, you can do so immediately, but expect to pull out a hefty amount of cash, because this gorgeous bike goes for about € 39,960 and that excludes registration fees.
So what do you get for € 40,000? A 1099cc v-twin sourced from Ducati’s 1098, the central section of the swingarm and all the bodywork is in carbon fibre, the rear tire suspension springs are in titanium and the front brake mounts a double 320mm WAVE floating disc.
You also get GET (Global Engineering Technologies) digital instrumentation and GPS integrated system that allows you to download on your personal computer racing lines and track speed, all this and much, much more.
