Says it's not registerable so you'd hafta get a bit "creative" there but this is supremely STREETFIGHTERable [:p]
The best part is it's NOT JUST ANOTHER COMMON AS MUCK GSXR. ;)

Further proof that you don't know your arsehole from your elbow GheyBoy :(
That frame is HORN-O-RAMA, the ultimate in race frame design is (or was at the time) a straight line from headstock to swingarm pivot, supposedly it's the most rigid arrangement.
Somebody buy it FFS.

friggin mad not to... even if it wasnt regesterable there would be enough horn bits to put on a fighter
not to mention bimota had the motor tuned up

There was an Unfaired Streetfightered SB Bimota in Streetfighters
Magazine many moon's a go. Its also on the "Berry on Bikes" Video.
Was built in the UK by West Coast Salvage, might have belonged to
the owner or mechanic. Carl ?

bit exy i think. considering the fork is bent and probably disc as well. wheel would be suspect the fram is not registable the swinger has taken a hit the motor needs crank cases welded or replaced and if replacing then you will need new big ends to match the new cases to the crank. and i bet you couldn't hear it run with that hole in the motor
the gixxer using the same motor was rated to 155hp so maybe bimota need a lesson in engine tuning if 1hp was the best they could do.
i think sight unseen $1500
talk about stating the obvious, of coarse they have different pipes than the gixxer, it has an underseat exhaust FFS

I looked at one recently but it had been imported for a local
Museum and its numbers were on a "unregisterable" list of bike
imported as Race / Show bikes.
(so I was told)
oldskool

would you believe that you have to drop the motor to change the front sprocket!!!!!!!
I have ridden one and they are fuckin ace!

Always liked Bimotas. Would have given my left nut to own an SB6 when they came out... Now I dont have a left nut anymore so its a moot point

Not too fan-ish of the frame either, but I'm sure, just like an ugly fat chick, it needs riding too:D

bummer that it isnt registerable :(
the frame is ugly, but i would still love to have it for the exclusivity
there arent many around, then if you fighter it you have something truley unique :D
oh, and they are fuckin TINY
ive sat on one, HURRAH!!!!
the price isnt too bad i dont think
there is less damage than there was on my TL when i got it, but i wouldnt buy it simply cos it cant be used
