First post, so just saying Hi.
I've been looking at DB5's for a while now and have finally found one that suits my needs - see Vort28's post in the for sale section !
Haven't got it home yet, but made a space next to my '04 Ducati 749r.
Pictures and newbie questions to follow  |

Congrats on buying Vort's bike. It comes from a pampered stable...
I'm based in Albrighton, so hope to see you out next year. |

| Welcome to the Forum Waggtee..and to Bimota ownership...you know it makes sense...If youre after making it sound a "little louder" we do have direct contacts with Zard in Italy for straight bolt on aftermarket end cans or full systems without the Cats in....You can source them locally from a dealer in High Peak...or if you want to go direct and save some pennies just give us a shout...Comfrtable bikes the Db5...not always a first for Bimotas...and can be used for touring, or just straight old blasting around a and b roads.....with enough power to have fun without trying to kill yourself...Enjoy |

Thanks for the welcome guys - hopefully catch up at some of next years meets/ride-outs.
It's a nice standard bike which doesn't need anything else and I'm planning on keeping it that way (place you bets if the first photo uploaded shows a nice Zard system on it  ) |

All arrived OK (at my pad, not Utah )
Looks (and sounds) as good as I remember.
Just need a bit of rain now to wash the salt and crud off the road so I can use it. |

It's a great feeling when the bike finally turns up hey. y first bim (sb6) arrived on transport at my place at midnight... no, not delivered by santa but a nice man in a van from Melbourne. I couldn't stand the waiting.
Glad you got your bike mate. Now hopefully some good weather for you.
