If you have kept up with our listings here at Iconic, you know all about Bimota and their model naming structure – the YB8 is the 8th model Bimota created around a Yamaha motor.
The YB8 was introduced in 1990, featuring the 1,002 cc engine out of a Yamaha FZR1000 EXUP. In the FZR, Yamaha capped output 125 horsepower. Free of restrictions, Bimota was able to get a claimed 149 hp out of the motor. As you’d expect from a Bimota, this is well-equipped with a twin-spar aluminum frame that evolved from the YB4, Yamaha electronics, fully adjustable Paioli suspension, and 320mm Brembo calipers.
Manufactured in October 1991, this example is VIN: ZESS8YA23NRANS034.
The odometer shows zero miles.
