Bimota All description

Up for sale is a personal project I have owned for years, but will never get around to finishing. This is a 1997 Bimota YB11. If you are looking at this listing, you already know what this is, and what it will be like when finished. The mileage on the bike is correct. It was crashed with only 34 miles on it. It was parted out, and what little was left was purchased, and the project to get her back on the road was started. The frame was correctly straighten by GMD Computrack, powdercoated black, and then the Paoli forks and DB2 wheels were attached. Custom wheel bearings were made to adapt the DB2 wheels to these YB11 axles. The body shell was custom painted silver and black, with the correct decals added. It comes with what you see here, plus the rear seat, and several boxes of parts including fairings that need repair and are still the original color. The fuel tank is also included. It takes a YZF1000 motor, but with minor work, any newer R1 Crossplane would work too. That was my idea for it anyway. My loss is your gain, so please, don't bid unless you really want to follow through and get her back on the road. Thanks.

FIM to Revise WSBK Homologation Requirements

Fri, 17 Jan 2014

The International Motorcycling Federation is considering modifying its homologation requirements for the World Superbike Championship following Bimota‘s somewhat surprising plans to re-enter the series. Under current regulations, manufacturers must produce a minimum number of motorcycles for it to be eligible to compete in the production-based WSBK championship. The official regulations currently require a minimum of 125 units produced for an initial homologation inspection, 500 units produced by June 30 of the current year, 1,000 units by the end of the current year and 2,000 units by the end of the following year.

Bimota to Miss Remainder of WSBK Season

Thu, 28 Aug 2014

Bimota has failed to meet the World Superbike Championship‘s homologation requirements and will not be allowed to participate in the rest of the 2014 season. Bimota had been under probation where it was allowed to race but would not receive any championship points for its efforts, until it could produce 125 street legal examples of its BB3 superbike. The probationary period has now ended and Bimota has informed series promoter Dorna and the FIM that it has not met the 125-unit minimum required for homologation.

Ruben Xaus and Bimota Target WSBK Entry in 2013

Mon, 23 Jan 2012

Italian manufacturer Bimota is looking to return to racing, with plans to compete in the 2013 World Superbike Championship as either a wild card or full time entry. Helming Bimota’s racing project is its sporting director and former WSBK racer Ruben Xaus. Speaking with Italian website Motoblog.it at the Motor Bike Expo in Verona, Italy, Xaus says the team would like to race full time in 2013 but may start as a wild card before fielding a full entry in 2014.
