Hi,
Given that the bike is a 2002 model, then presumably this was one of the subsequent imported machines (from Germany perhaps?), as the YB11 was manufactured between 96-98. However many European bikes seem to have the "b" for Bimota on the fairing stradling the upper and lower halves of the fairing, whereas this machine has the logo located on the (black) bottom half. Interesting therefore to know whether or not it has an mph or kph speedo, and which way the headlight dips as obviously both these things will tend to confirm one way or another if it's actually a UK bike or not. Mileage-wise you wouldn't normally expect a (UK) Bimota to have that much on the clock, especuially if it's only 8 years old.
Pity about the trip/water.etc. display, though I'm sure that most could like without this if need be. The "crack" in the paint may well prove to be a crack in the plasitcs but I'm happy to be proved wrong on that one! I notice that it has an aftermarket rear sprocket, so the mileage must be over say 5k at least, but nevertheless not necessarily high given the apparent condition. Worth a look at no doubt if anyone's in the Guildford area perhaps. |
