Update 11.21.2014: The seller has updated us that this SB6 has sold in just 24 hours. Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc The fine folks from Rimini certainly have a different way of looking at the world. Ignoring all but performance and visual artistry, Bimota consistently delivers on both ends of the performance-art spectrum (DB3…
A bike with serial number 001 might be the cat’s meow, but bikes lovingly stored inside, well presented with high resolution pictures, and offered with low (read: almost no) miles will be what drive the pricing curve upwards. This 1997 Bimota SB6 is just such a bike. This is a great example of the breed,…
In the world of collectibles, numbers matter. Key numbers are how many were produced, and how many people want one. The number of miles is pretty important, as is matching numbers in some cases.

The truth is that you would be both right AND wrong. These are hand crafted motorcycles from a very low-volume manufacturer, but they made a few more of…
Today we have another stunning SB6-R Bimota that is available in Massachusetts. As we’ve previously detailed with these bikes, they feature the GSX-R 1100 motor in Bimota’s own frame, suspension, and bodywork. This example is showing 7200 miles on the odometer, which probably makes it more rare than the others considering it’s been ridden a…
For your Sunday enjoyment is this Bimota SB6R with less than 4000 miles. This model sports a modified GSX-R 1100 motor behind that massive frame and makes 156hp while weighing in at just 418lbs. Other goodies include Paioli forks, Öhlins shock, Antera wheels and Brembo brakes to help keep this package planted. This one also…
