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.

EICMA 2012: Bimota BB2 Concept Revealed with BMW S1000RR Engine

Fri, 16 Nov 2012

Bimota revealed a new concept sportbike at the 2012 EICMA Show equipped with a BMW S1000RR engine. The Bimota BB2 concept is the first product of a new partnership signed with BMW that would see the German manufacturer supply S1000RR engines for Bimota. The S1000RR engine has class-leading numbers, with the 172.4 hp we measured in our 2012 European Literbike Shootout a 10.4 hp advantage over any literbike we dyno’ed for that shootout or the Japanese Literbike Shootout.

EBR First American Sportbike To Score Points In WSBK, Makes History

Fri, 18 Jul 2014

The EBR 1190RX had its best finish to date in the FIM Superbike World Championship (WSBK) series during the only US round at Laguna Seca in Salinas, Calif., this past weekend. In an exciting twist, the wild card entry of Larry Pegram running the #72 Foremost Insurance/EBR/AMSOIL/Hero entry garnered a 14th place finish in the second race, earning the first-ever WSBK points for an American motorcycle manufacturer.  [In actuality, Pegram's EBR crossed the line in 16th place. However, the two Bimota BB3 entries who finished eighth and ninth with riders Ayrton Badovini and Christian Iddon, respectively, have had their finishes nullified all season because Bimota has not met the FIM's homologation requirements.
