Bimotas are notorious for their exclusivity, Italian style, and characteristically over-the-top engineering. The YB10 Dieci (named for Bimota’s 10th collaboration with Yamaha) was no exception — just 224 examples were made, and each one featured a billet aluminum frame, a seamless one-piece upper fairing, a set of two-tone three-spoke wheels, and a distinctive red and silver livery.

And the YB10 wasn’t just eye candy; it was also a real performer. Beneath the bike’s exotic exterior, it housed the powerplant from a FZR1000. Instead of the Yamaha’s fuel injection, however, it utilized a set of Mikuni 38mm carbs. Together, such a setup was good for a healthy 145hp and 69.4lb-ft of torque. On the road, this meant that the much lighter Bimota (407lbs to the FZR1000’s 472lbs) could take riders to a top speed of 172mph.

Add to that a set of upside down Marzocchi forks, a set of powerful Brembo calipers, and an improved riding position, and you have all the makings of a proper classic — especially when you consider the low production numbers (just 224). As Bennetts puts it in their overview: “If you’re going to buy one now, then this one, or any of the other Yamaha FZ750/FZR1000-powered machines strike the best balance between performance, desirability and price.”
