I got invited to Bruntingthorpe testing ground yesterday for a 400cc photoshoot
Sun was shining and took the YB7 and FZR over. Great day riding down the two mile straight with about 24 bikes in two lines. Then a photoshoot of the individual bikes, and off round the track. After a while we moved onto the go kart track, second gear twisties.
I took my camera but didn't get many shots as I kept jumping from one bike to the other

A Stunning line-up Laminator, might be a mag that a buy if that was the purpose.
All you need now is for them to want a Bimota YB day, again it would be a stunning line-up, but you may get a little lonely and need some mates |

Great pics orteR, and great choice of bike
I got some pictures from the magazine photographer at Brunters
I also got asked to take some photos of the YB9 for a small bit in another mag this month
(The images are a bit big on the screen I'm using here, hopefully they fit better on mine, and yours) _________________ Bimotas, Yamaha FZR 2TK, Honda NC30, MV Agusta F3 800, Aprilia RS250 |

We didn't log the speeds unfortunately, it should be a good article on all the bikes though.
I was riding over on the Bim and a mate was going to ride the FZR over. He had to go on his honeymoon and missed the day. I took both bikes over in the van anyway. As it turned out a forum member had problems with their bike and turned up to watch. They then spent the day riding around on my FZR.
If there is a YB day I'll need a few bodies to help out _________________ Bimotas, Yamaha FZR 2TK, Honda NC30, MV Agusta F3 800, Aprilia RS250 |
