The Appeal
The Bimota YB9SRI is one of the more intriguing creations from the renowned Rimini-based manufacturer. By pairing Bimota’s celebrated chassis engineering with the proven Yamaha Thundercat 600cc liquid-cooled, four-cylinder engine, the YB9SRI delivers a satisfying mix of Italian craft and Japanese mechanical dependability. With production numbers always limited, any Bimota is genuinely rare—and the YB9SRI is no exception.
This 1998 example, finished in striking Giallo, has spent roughly the last five years in a private collection. The electronic fuel injection was converted to carburettors some years ago—a well-documented modification among Bimota owners to address known reliability shortcomings with the original setup. Original injection components and the airbox are included for anyone who wants to return it to standard. A spare engine also forms part of the package.
The motorcycle will need recommissioning and an inspection before being put back on the road, but it comes with the correct Italian paperwork, ready for its next owner.IMG_8301 MAURIZIO DOTOLI.jpeg5.08 MB

This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following:
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means consumer rights arising from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you’re still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions..
✓ We ask that a non-refundable fee is paid if you’re the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates.
✓ This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is” basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are provided for guidance only, and it’s customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind.
✓ VAT is included in the buyer’s fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing.
✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do, so all UK-registered cars and motorbikes offered for sale on Car & Classic are run through an online HPI check to confirm there are no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and that there’s no finance owing — allowing you to bid with confidence.
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic, and we conveniently provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) to assist you. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status, and it’s always worthwhile completing your own full vehicle history check before making an offer.
✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection
or delivery. Importing vehicles may result in additional customs duties and import taxes, so it’s worth checking beforehand. It is the bidders’ responsibility to confirm import eligibility prior to purchase.
✓ Unless stated otherwise, you must assume that any cherished, personalised, or heritage vehicle registration is not included in the sale of a vehicle.
