Bimota Hb3
The Bimota Hb3 has a top speed of ~185 km/h (estimated), produces ~60 hp and weighs ~175 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.5/10.
Модель Bimota HB3 была представлена в 1983 году в результате сотрудничества итальянского производителя рам Bimota и Honda. В ней использовался четырехцилиндровый двигатель Honda CBX550F, размещенный в легком высококачественном трубчатом стальном шасси Bimota. В нем воплотилась философия Bimota, заключающаяся в сочетании превосходной итальянской конструкции рам с проверенными японскими силовыми установками, что позволило создать более целенаправленный и функциональный спортбайк, чем машина, выпущенная производителем. Модель HB3 очень редка: выпущено лишь ограниченное количество экземпляров, что делает ее ценным коллекционным изделием среди любителей Bimota.

Что следует знать покупателям
Honda Engine Reliability
The HB3 uses a Honda CB900F engine, meaning mechanical reliability is strong and parts are relatively easy to source compared to fully proprietary Bimota powerplants.
Strong Collector Value
As a rare 1980s Italian exotic with limited production numbers, the HB3 holds strong resale value among collectors — condition and originality are critical to commanding premium prices.
Aging Bodywork Fragility
Original fiberglass bodywork is extremely difficult and expensive to replace, so inspect carefully for cracks, repairs, or fading before purchasing, as damage significantly impacts value.
Поколения и характеристики по годам
Оригинальная серийная модель с двигателем Honda CB1100R в трубчатой стальной раме Bimota с полным обтекателем.
"Надежность Honda — почти идеальная — итальянская душа."
HB3 — это то, что происходит, когда команда Tamburini перестает извиняться за использование японского оборудования и просто создает лучший мотоцикл, какой только может. Эта рядная четверка, созданная на базе CB1100R, отлично развивает скорость с 4000 об/мин, а к 1983 году она действительно свирепо — 77 лошадей в упаковке весом 198 кг были тогда экзотикой. Стальное трубчатое шасси стало настоящим открытием: в нем все передано сквозь решетку с такой прямотой, что, по сравнению с мотоциклами-донорами Honda, кажется почти неразборчивыми. Проблема заключается в стоимости владения: изготовленные на заказ кузова и застежки Bimota обойдутся вам по карману при каждой услуге, а найти компетентного специалиста за пределами специализированного магазина — сплошное отчаяние.

Отзыв покупателя б/у
"An exotic masterpiece that rewards obsessive owners and punishes casual ones."
$12,000-$22,000 usedThe HB3 is one of those bikes that makes you feel like you've stolen something. Built around Honda's CBR900RR engine in a hand-laid carbon and kevlar Bimota chassis, it's genuinely special in ways modern bikes simply aren't. The steering is telepathic, the chassis communicates everything, and it sounds absolutely savage. Finding one in decent shape is the real challenge — these are rare, obsessively collected, and often poorly maintained by enthusiastic but under-resourced owners. Before buying, budget seriously for a full mechanical inspection. Electrics are the notorious weak point; Italian wiring from this era has a personality all its own. Parts availability is genuinely terrifying — Bimota support is minimal, and some components are unobtainium without specialist importers. The CBR donor engine is thankfully bulletproof and parts are plentiful, but anything Bimota-specific will cost you sleep. If you find a well-documented, professionally serviced example, buy it without hesitation. This is a museum piece that actually rides better than it looks, which is saying something extraordinary.
