Bimota All description

Up for sale is a personal project I have owned for years, but will never get around to finishing. This is a 1997 Bimota YB11. If you are looking at this listing, you already know what this is, and what it will be like when finished. The mileage on the bike is correct. It was crashed with only 34 miles on it. It was parted out, and what little was left was purchased, and the project to get her back on the road was started. The frame was correctly straighten by GMD Computrack, powdercoated black, and then the Paoli forks and DB2 wheels were attached. Custom wheel bearings were made to adapt the DB2 wheels to these YB11 axles. The body shell was custom painted silver and black, with the correct decals added. It comes with what you see here, plus the rear seat, and several boxes of parts including fairings that need repair and are still the original color. The fuel tank is also included. It takes a YZF1000 motor, but with minor work, any newer R1 Crossplane would work too. That was my idea for it anyway. My loss is your gain, so please, don't bid unless you really want to follow through and get her back on the road. Thanks.

I have had a little walk around checking out the preparations for the show. I haven’t seen anything that I haven’t already seen or heard about previously, but here’s a selection from three of the halls. Yamaha are the only manufacturer to use an industrial crane to place some of its bikes up on high rise stands.

Zero-mile Bimota V-Due on eBay

Wed, 04 Aug 2010

A RARE opportunity to snap up a zero-mile Bimota V-Due two-stroke race replica has come up for grabs on eBay. Launched in 1997, the V-Due was fitted with a 500cc, liquid-cooled, two-stroke, fuel-injected v-twin engine. It was the first time Bimota built an engine in-house, instead of sourcing engines from existing bike manufacturers.
