Posted: Tue Mar 31, 2015 2:14 am Post subject: Took the DB6 out for the first time this year |
|
|
It's getting warmer here so I was able to take the DB6 out with some friends. We road about 180 miles thru the North Georgia mountains. Last weekend I took the Tesi 3D out and it was a pleasure. But man, the DB6 is just a great bike. I changed a few suspension settings from last year and the bike felt even better. I took 1 full turn out of the factory spec pre-load from the front. I also took a half turn out of the front compression. For my weight the front end just felt more planted and confidence inspiring. It's probably all in my head.

Always nice to see a Bim on the road....and good to see that the Db6 isnt getting overlooked now that Tesi has arrived....Its always nice to have a "spare" Bimota....or a couple of spare Bimotas....or....... |

Thanks Vort28, It's the Zard exhaust with the brand stickers removed. I have the same exhaust on the Tesi. Sounds great too |

JBuffa, I have a 97 yb11 in reno, nv which I bought at auction in Las Vegas in January. It has 20 km on it. Looking to get the $9,500 I paid (that doesn't count the auction fee. It still has the original tires, Couple of minor issue with the plastic not from riding, just prior owner being a little careless with bumping it. Very original condition, has ohlins rear shock, late in the production run (471). Pm me if interested
