Track Day Heaven: 2004 Bimota DB5 race bike
http://2wheelwiki.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/
For those who participate in the occasional track day, a little masking tape and the removal of mirrors is enough. For others, a dedicated track day bike – usually an inexpensive or well-used model with track-specific changes – is in order. Take that one step further and consider a full blown race bike. If money were no object, would this be your track day weapon of choice?

Starting life out as a DB5R – considered one of the best handling of the air-cooled Ducati chasis available – and fitted with a hi-po, 1178 cc Hypermotard engine built to the hilt, this particular bike is a “cost is no object” excercise for racing. And race it did, purportedly winning several championships. And what better way to ease this mount into retirement than as a spirited track-day ride worthy of envious stares and buckets of drool?

Here is a video of the bike in action:
The seller claims to have spent upwards of $100k on this racer, which just goes to prove the adage: If you want to make a small fortune in racing, start with a large one. Fortunately for you buyers out there, nothing depreciates like last year’s (or last decade’s) racer. This bike is on the block for a cool $55,000, or best offer. If you want what looks to be the best of everything, this might be a good place to look. Check it out and let us know what you think! Good Luck!
