I have a tri color DB4 That I bought from moto point when Bimota went under. I've never started it. I've turned it over and added oil. Of course it needs tires and belts since they're 20 plus years old.I would like to trade for a nice Mantra, or sell it outright. There are 2 problems. One, I don't have the MSO for it. It's been 15 years and I can't remember if I got it or not. Bob Smith, if he's still alive, isn't to be found.The other problem is some scratches on the underside of the fairing from when I was loading it. This bike has no miles on it. I only want very serious inquiriries. I have may bikes and I always wanted a Mantra. If I can't make a deal, I'll just let it sit. I have gotten titles for bikes before, and it was a real hassle I don't want to go through that again.Thanks, just pm me or email me, chopper4645@yahoo.com Thanks

What end can does it have on it?...Just wondering if its a MotoCorse titanium end can or the standard DB4 over and under shotgun cans

Best of luck sourcing a "swap" with a DB3....I'm not even sure if I've ever heard of a DB3 in the USA....

There has been one listed for a while (on and off) on cycletrader.

There are quite a few Mantras in the USA. They don’t command a high resale price. Probably 7-8k US dollars. What state is the DB4 located? I think Bob passed away a few years ago. Title issues are a pain in the USA, especially in California.
