I was thumbing through my back issues of Cycle and came across this issue that featured a Bimota SB2. The price of this cutting-edge sportbike in 1978 was $8000. If you think about it that was a comparative bargain. $8000 in 1978 is approximately $26,000 in today’s dollars. For comparison a 2009 Bimota DB7 costs $40,000.
