With less than 140 units produced nearly 40 years ago, the Bimota SB2 is a rare find nowadays.
This bike had featured the 743cc four-cylinder engine from a Suzuki GS750, slightly modified with 850cc Yoshimura pistons to produce about 78 horsepower. This was sufficient to power the bike up to 135 miles per hour.
For more on the SB2, check out this profile from Visor Down, who called it one of the Six Sexiest Bimotas ever built, as well as “arguably the most advanced superbike ever created.” Why? The chromoly frame was linked to one of the first applications of a streetbike with a monoshock rear suspension, but it also featured adjustable steering geometry, twin Brembo disc brakes, and incredible aerodynamics.
You had to pay to play – the MSRP was almost $4,000, making three times as much as the GS750 it was “based” on.
This example is VIN: SB200072.
