The Bimota SB6R was an uprated version of the SB6, Bimota’s most popular bike – though for a niche Italian manufacturer, “popular” is a relative term (just 600 units rolled out of the factory). The SB6R was only produced from 1997-1998, and, in many eyes, it’s the pinnacle of classic Bimota motorcycles – the power of a Japanese engine with the style of an Italian chassis. In typical exotic fashion, though, you had to pay to play… even back in 1997, this bike would set you back $35,000!
The “S” of SB6R tells you that the engine for this bike came from Suzuki. Specifically, it was yanked from the Suzuki GSXR-1100 of the time. With Bimota-developed camshafts, it produced 156 horsepower — enough to propel the bike to a top speed of 175 miles per hour. It also came with some of the best components available at the time, including Paoli suspension, Brembo brakes, Marchesini wheels, and more.
