Took a little while to find but i believe the font for the main bimota decal is Pump Demi Bold LET in lower case. Should you require replacement decals like myself.

I also understood the font was Bauhaus 93, but it looks like Pump Demi Bold is very similar. If you look at pictures of YB4 and YB6 where the model logo is displayed on the side of the fairing it seems to the Pump Demi Bold is the correct font. Compare the Ys and the 4 and 6 and hopefully you will see what I mean! 
Good spot, firststrike.

After 16 years the paint was beginning to look tired, so it's being treated to shiny new paint, unfortunately the decals have been removed so now it has none.
The lower case in both fonts are virtually identical but the upper case letters in both fonts look no where near, especially the "Y".

I'd agree that Pump Demi Bold is a closer font than Bauhaus 93.
The 'Y' is better in the Pump Demi Bold

Strange how bauhaus 93 is considered the correct font, did that information come from Bimota?  Lovely YB8 pictured above.

The actual "bimota" logo would be the same in either font, owning a SB6 (which is done as a logo) it wouldn't make a difference to me but it's a good spot.
