Bimota obviously made its reputation wrapping lightweight frames and sexy bodywork around reliable powerplants from Japan, sexy powerplants from Ducati, and even the occasional German powerplant from BMW. Their early offerings used tube-style frames, but by the 1990s they’d moved on to aluminium beam frames
The Bimota YB9 SR was a in-line four, carburetted four-stroke sport motorcycle produced between 1996 and 1998. The “9” has nothing to do with the bike’s displacement and simply indicates that it’s the ninth Bimota powered by a Yamaha engine. It actually uses the liquid-cooled inline-four and transmission from the YZF600R “Thundercat” with around 100hp and it even uses that bike’s stock gauge cluster, nestled in between the carbon air-intake tubes.
Coming from an enthusiast’s private collection of motorcycles, this YB9 SR was running recently and we have been advised it is in good order. Presenting in what is believed to be all original paint and panels, it will need some light recommissioning before use. This rare machine is offered with a V5C.
