Japanese Muscle Meets Italian Engineering – 1997 Bimota SB6R

 Japanese Muscle Meets Italian Engineering – 1997 Bimota SB6R

Ho-hum another day and another Bimota.  I’m about to take these off the endangered species list.  It seems like we’ve had a steady stream of almost every late model Bimota here at RSBFS.  Add this one to the list.  It is a one owner bike and that owner had decided it is time to move on.  If you happen to have $12,000 in your pocket it’s yours.
