Sent an email to add my bimotas to the register today.
Here's an interesting fact-
Out of 684 Bimotas registered (on the site), 222 are located in Italy, but, only 3 are located in Rimini
I know, i know... i've got way too much time on my hands. But, it's been raining here for a week. _________________ '99 DB4 #104, '96 SB6 #1165, '94 DB2 J #652, '99 DB4 #088, '08 VTX1800, '93 ZXR750R M1, '95 ZXR750, '95 ZXR750 Race Bike, '94 CBR400rr NC29 Race Bike, '94 CB250, '49 BSA C10 250, '61 BSA A10 650, '89 ZXR750, '91 Ducati 851 |

3 of the largest collections of Bimotas in Italy are housed in Milan, Muro Leccese and Lecce. I've been lucky enough to have seen all 3, and it's a very wonderful (bimota) experience. _________________ Bimota SB6 and Benelli TNT 899S road bikes.

Could you shed some more light on these as I'll be in Italy next year and be good to see if I could include in the trip. |

Thanks for the welcome.
Collection is complete, unless the mythical all Black (grey) Mark 3 ever appears for sale!
These three all work fine, the two without mirrors are resting (mirrors off to avoid storage damage) the one with mirrors is happily driving about. Its a standard mk 2 on a 98 plate with uprated factory forks, Antera Wheels and Racing Exhaust, the closest I could find to the mythical mk3. Next summer I,ll be back on Red and White. _________________ Current Bikes: SB6 Crescent; SB6 (red and white); SB6 (Not red and white) |

Likewise to the others comments, welcome on board, keep Oily company for one.
What part of the UK are you? No postcode necessary, just a County or such |

Oily
The Crescent SB6 is a 94 plate. When i bought it the owner told me it was retuned to the supplying dealer in 94 a month or so after purchase to have the additional colours added. He said it was to match the display bike at the Milan bike show. Who knows but could be true.
Apart from that the bike is pretty standard mk1 with km speedo, early clock arrangement and smaller headlights. It had carbon frame covers fitted when new by the supplying dealer. The frame cover circle completes!

Some time ago, I tried and failed to get literature from the Milan bike show in 93 or 94. The answer could be there, if anyone can find the photos, brochures etc. _________________ Current Bikes: SB6 Crescent; SB6 (red and white); SB6 (Not red and white) |
