2000 Bimota YB11 Superleggera 25th Anniversary with 7 Miles

Description

Please note: The pilot jets are clogged so the bike dies when throttle is applied. The seller has asked us to sell the bike as-is.

Additional photos of this Bimota YB11 Superleggera are available here for your perusal.

Bimota’s nomenclature is simple:
Y = Yamaha-powered
B = Bimota-designed
11 = the 11th model with a Yamaha motor.

In this case, the YB11 specifically utilized the 1,002cc inline 4 motor from a YZF1000R (known in some markets as the Thunderace), but the Bimota weighed an impressive 32 pounds less than the Yamaha. That might be why the Italian firm called this the “Superleggera.” Just 600 YB11s were built, 87 of which were originally sold in the United States. In addition, Bimota produced 50 examples of a 25th Anniversary model.

The Yamaha motor was originally good for 145 horsepower, but Bimota’s engineers bumped the number up with a larger airbox, new exhaust, and a carb re-jet. The original MSRP was approximately $30,000, and that bought you revisions to the usual Bimota frame – the main crossmember was relocated towards the steering head and the swingarm pivot point was revised. Paioli supplied the suspension, including gigantic 51mm front forks that were fully adjustable.

This example is VIN: ZESYB1100YR000628. The seller acquired it through an Iconic auction in February 2022.

It is #22 of the 50 25th Anniversary bikes.

During his ownership, the seller has covered six miles. The odometer shows 7 miles.
