Just saying hello, as yesterday my YB6 arrived from Italy. I can't wait to ride her but sadly I've just had an operation in hospital so no tinkering or riding for a few weeks. The bike was owned by Fernando Felli, of Bimota Club Italia and seems to be a well known bike in the Italian Bimota scene.

I will use the bike, both on the road and for some gentle track time. I fell in love with the look of this YB4/YB6 model back when new, including seeing the YB4's at the very first WSBK race at Donnington Park in 1988.

I'm sure I'll have some questions once I'm well enough to start tinkering.

I live in Oxfordshire and I'm passionate about my late 80's bikes, the YB6 joins my:- RC30, OW01, GSX-R750J, GPX750R, TDR250 and NC30.

Ahh yes, beautiful yb6! I particularly like photo #25 of 26. If I ever buy a yb it will be a yb6, love those lines and the colour scheme rocks.

is it frame # 001??

The 001 refers to the Bimota Classic Register, she is first to be on the register helped by the previous owner being Fernando Feli who is/was Chairman of the Bimota Club in Italy.
