Rare as a Bimota liter bike might be, finding one which has never been run is a hundred-fold more unusual. A 150hp cycle weighing 400lbs would be newsworthy today, but this one has been hidden away since 1991. 1991 Bimota YB10 Dieci for sale on eBay Made from 1991 to 1994 but in very low…
Only rarely seen outside Japan, the market for which it was exclusively designed, the Bimota YB7 is like a 3/4 scale YB4. The bike is based around the FZR400 powerplant, so it’s obviously no real powerhouse, with a claimed 65hp from the 399cc liquid-cooled four. But that just means you get a sweet-handling, four-cylinder exotic…
1997 Bimota V-Due on eBay On paper, it was everything that we all asked and begged for… a roadgoing version of the 500cc two stroke monsters that we watched Mick Doohan and crew wrestle around the track in Grand Prix racing.

Designed by the late Frederico Martini, the YB5 was based on the Yamaha FJ1200 drivetrain, the highest displacement Bimota produced. The inline 4 produces 130hp and has the innovation of an offset generator ( behind the engine ) to reduce overall width. Continuing the firm’s practice of re-packaging the latest engine developments, the YB5 is…
