    Bimota collection appraisal?

    A friend of mine has a friend who inherited a collection of Bimotas:
    98 V-Due
    94 DB2
    99 DB4
    91 YB10 Dieci
    97-YB11
    96 SB6 Series 2
    97 SB6R

    Does anyone know anybody that could assign a value to each bike, and/or the collection? All of them are in very good shape apparently.

    Doesn't the elder member of the Wood clan do bike auctions? He should be able to estimate what'd they fetch decently I'd think?

    No help here, but I met a guy on Saturday who showed me pictures of his friend's garage. His friend has a crap load of Ducatis, including a Desmosidici, and a bunch of Bimotas. I can't imagine the amount of money tied up in that collection.

    The 98 v-due isn't worth shit. Tell him I'll do Jim a favor and take it off his hands for $500.



    The official degsy valuation on that collection? About $90k in today's market.

Before he die in the German hospital on the 15th of November 1988 where he went to operate on the cancer of the knee, he fixed the Sum of $30,000.000.00 in the Central Bank of Nigeria under Intartrade Ventures Ltd on behalf of my mother and many goats.

    We have think with our family attorney on how to use money with out hitchings, and to buy many motorcycle of Italy. He advise us to liaise with a foreigner. We make offer to you for motorcycles of $30,000,000US. Please respond immediately.

    Is this just a ploy to steal one of John's nuts?

    They are already inactive, dont know what the acutal street value would be at this point. But if it were anything close to the value of a used V-Due, then Im in.
