Dear Friends:
My name is Felipe Orellana, I am writing from Chile.
Some time ago I was looking for an SB8K that was for sale at North Leicester Motorcycles. A while ago I contacted the people in the store, but the seller did not know what had happened with the bike.
I think that some member of this forum can know who is the owner, or if anyone knows some Bimota SB8K (first series) that is for sale.
I hope you can help me!!
All the best.. |

Yes, basically it's an SB8R, but I've been dreaming of it since I was 15 years old.
Anyone have any information about this bike? I need to find the owner .. |

By all accounts it doesn't go like one either.
This bike is an early mock up . NLM first advertised it many years ago unpainted with the graphics just marked on in pen.
Anyway, if you notice besides the restyle there is something missing . The air tubes to feed the 59mm throttles that went through the tank on the R . (The early K's had the old R throttles/ECU)
Thus early K's have a bit of an air starvation issue.
And the later Santa and Gobert had them on the lower side of the nose cone, different injection system / ECU and smaller throttles ( although not as small as the TL/TLR)
