1999 Bimota SB8R

In Italy, Sport by Ted CloughLeave a Comment

This is a lovely piece of Italian exotica. The SB8R used the Suzuki TL1000R motor in it’s bespoke frame, surrounded by the usual Bimota top-end components. I will refer you to the seller’s listing, as it is very comprehensive about the specifics of this model and also this particular bike. Suffice it to say that if you have a need for speed and like to stand out in a crowd, this is the bike for you.

There are all sorts of custom features and upgrades on this bike. Brakes, ECU, exhaust. Just look at this upper triple clamp:

As usual with Bimotas, there is carbon fiber everywhere.

This low-mileage SB8R is located in Topanga Canyon, CA, and is listed here on Craigslist for $12,000.
