Chaps,

I think my old Bimota was a Mk2 as the frame number was up in the 1100's mark, it had the Arena wheels, Im in the market for another SB6 and never really knew the difference between the 2 has anyone got info on this or is it just the case of the Wheels? I thought the rear sets where different too, But any guidance would be good, Thanks

There was quite a few detail changes
Wheels and brake discs
Clocks (from Suzuki to split type)
The rearsets aren't solid
The brake and clutch masters are brembo goldline
I think the later frames have an engine mount to the engine head
The seat unit was strengthened
The headlights are bigger

There was an option to have rebound adjustment on the forks.

The most obvious difference is the main frame rails. MkII has 2 black bungs each side (engine mounts) and the MkI only has 1 black bung each side.
