Hi, I’m looking to purchase a YB6 or YB6 Tuatara.

Please contact me if you have one for sale.

Thanks,

John.

Morning, not selling my one but I do know of a Tuatara that is going for sale.

It’s going for circa £8500 I think but would need to double check.


Pm if interested.

Even in the rare world of Bimota, a Tuatara is a rare thing. But if it's for riding, an Exup with carbs over a Genesis with period FI every time.

I have a Tuatara but not selling I'm afraid. They do come up for sale from time to time and there was one on Car and Classic last year. I believe it was sold back to Italy. Mine is a German import. Bought it about 3 years ago. Was hoping to actually get it on the road this year but....

If you are on Facebook there is a Brit in Japan called Drew Jonsen who exports bikes to the UK etc. I know he has a Tuatara he was tarting up to sell but the body work was damaged where its been badly strapped down and cracked fibreglass. You might want to look him up. I've used him for parts in the past without issue but some of his posting on Facebook make you question his sanity.....

Good luck

Careful in dealing with certain individuals in Japan, I know some people have had some real horror stories.

Yes, do your research about the dealers if you want to get a bike from Japan. Read the reviews and comments, and listen to them.

I wouldn't touch him with a shitty bargepole///////….He's let a lot of people down and cost them small fortunes to get bikes back off him....He;s madder than a Box of frogs....Just IMHO.....
