Bimota is a manufacturer of exclusive sports motorcycles that epitomise Italian flare and engineering excellence. Founded in Rimini in 1973 by Valerio Bianchi, Giuseppe Morri, and Massimo Tamburini, the company name is derived from the first two letters of each of the three founders surnames. Because of the poor state of frame design in the 1970s, Bimota initially concentrated on building high-quality motorcycle chassis around existing engines and chassis kits for race bikes, initially basing their bikes on the top models from Suzuki, Honda, Yamaha and Kawasaki. One of their most successful models was the SB6 built around the classic Suzuki GSXR1100 oil cooled engine.
This 1996 Bimota SB6 was purchased by the late vendor some twenty years ago to form part of a collection of Bimota models. He used it for a very short time before he purchased another for his collection (also in the auction), and it was parked up and never used again, but was turned over regularly. As can be seen in the pictures, it has stood for a while and will require full recommissioning before it can be placed back on the road. It moves with ease, and the engine turns over and it selects all the gears. It is accompanied by a current V5C, manuals and keys.
