All Bimm motorcycles are very rare, but the Italian manufacturer's Super Sport model is especially so.
This gorgeous small Italian lightweight sports motorcycle is similar in size to other 48/50cc sports motorcycles offered by manufacturers such as Ducati, FB Mondial, Malanca, Benelli, Moto Morini, and ITOM.
Many small motorcycle manufacturers in Italy at the time used bought-in engines to save development costs, and Moto Bimm was no exception as they used the highly regarded two-stroke P4A Motori Minarelli unit.
I recently purchased this motorcycle in Italy and brought it to England. I was told by the vendor that its restoration had been completed in early 2020, and it was clearly restored to a good standard with there being only a couple of very minor blemishes to the frame paint that I expect were picked up during transport. Its engine started easily and ran well and its three-speed transmission worked as it should during my short ride around private roads.
I carried out a NOVA customs declaration upon the Bimm's entry into England, but it has not been UK registered with the DVLA.
