Seems quite a choice of Bimotas popping up in GErmany….the likes of which I've never seen before

A nice enough DB2 Half fairing...but always looks a little unfinished without the belly pan?...Seen those wheels before...But never on a DB2....Antera hubs bolted to polished rims

https://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/details.html?id=276251268&damageUnrepaired=NO_DAMAGE_UNREPAIRED&isSearchRequest=true&makeModelVariant1.makeId=3400&pageNumber=1&scopeId=MB&searchId=2877884e-ac60-de56-d1aa-2120a8c30471

Streetfighter YB11....a hangover from the bankrupt days when some were auctioned off incomplete....

https://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/details.html?id=275835288&damageUnrepaired=NO_DAMAGE_UNREPAIRED&isSearchRequest=true&makeModelVariant1.makeId=3400&pageNumber=1&scopeId=MB&searchId=9aa8757c-06ef-213d-fc5a-5bedea32c342

Good price for a YB5...as in "cheap"....Some folk could pay half that just to get a paint job done on one of these....Frame No 126 for those that are interested in these things

https://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/details.html?id=275819292&damageUnrepaired=NO_DAMAGE_UNREPAIRED&isSearchRequest=true&makeModelVariant1.makeId=3400&pageNumber=1&scopeId=MB&searchId=447fab9f-d70e-6958-d136-01b558da0a2f

A YB6.....And all I'll say is theres lots of lovely detailed photos and ITS very very clean....I do admire folk that keep things so clean

https://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/details.html?id=274953375&damageUnrepaired=NO_DAMAGE_UNREPAIRED&isSearchRequest=true&makeModelVariant1.makeId=3400&pageNumber=1&scopeId=MB&searchId=f031036c-be2d-17e1-d7fa-c65088feebcd

An SB4R....and nope....I have no idea what an SB4"R" is......

https://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/details.html?id=274235414&damageUnrepaired=NO_DAMAGE_UNREPAIRED&isSearchRequest=true&makeModelVariant1.makeId=3400&pageNumber=1&scopeId=MB&fnai=next&searchId=ca9ccc21-dadf-d127-5f43-c9d5c0fe9bee

Quite a nice reworking of an SB6 in the right Raspberry ripple best colour scheme...And I do like the change of wheels,...Marcheshini.....USD front forks and braking wavey discs and upgraded Calipers and masters.....Just not quite so sure about what maybe used to be red anodised fork sleeves...now more or a "purple" bordering on pink which is how red anodising goes after time....

https://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/details.html?id=275404782&damageUnrepaired=NO_DAMAGE_UNREPAIRED&isSearchRequest=true&makeModelVariant1.makeId=3400&pageNumber=1&scopeId=MB&searchId=e5b5fecc-aa79-da4f-1d11-3b358e1ef20d

Steep price for a DB3...but then it does only have 3 kms on it...

https://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/details.html?id=276882613&damageUnrepaired=NO_DAMAGE_UNREPAIRED&isSearchRequest=true&makeModelVariant1.makeId=3400&pageNumber=2&scopeId=MB&searchId=4b33326c-5508-6d50-a9fb-a8b27e24f848

A rare "early" KB1 in the different clothes they used for a while....same seller also has a Tuatara for sale...and a Bimota something else??? In Santa monica colours??????...Theres a also a sneaky back wheel of a Gilera CX125 in the background.....

https://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/details.html?id=274214014&damageUnrepaired=NO_DAMAGE_UNREPAIRED&isSearchRequest=true&makeModelVariant1.makeId=3400&pageNumber=2&scopeId=MB&searchId=4567e0b7-84e8-e6a7-f168-84931246f99d

A KB1 - 1 ???...with most odd colour scheme bu I quite like the look of it....Them Germans eh....Style or no Style?...say what you like they Do like to do their own thing...so good on them....I suppose the colour of this is akin to the Race YB1-3 bikes of the era in the late 70's and early 80's...and for me at least...sort of works on a KB1 also.....Jon Ekerold colour scheme is it>>>??

https://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/details.html?id=274083204&damageUnrepaired=NO_DAMAGE_UNREPAIRED&isSearchRequest=true&makeModelVariant1.makeId=3400&pageNumber=2&scopeId=MB&fnai=prev&searchId=11359781-1519-02fa-2c1b-30824b234123

A few others on Mobile.de...Including...The lowest priced Alzurra 1 of 23 ltd edition DB6's...awarded to the Italian football team when they won Euro football cup something>>>>

https://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/details.html?id=276555028&damageUnrepaired=NO_DAMAGE_UNREPAIRED&isSearchRequest=true&makeModelVariant1.makeId=3400&pageNumber=2&scopeId=MB&searchId=06b5bb44-44d2-c4db-2a07-eb516a71ebcb

This ones ZERO miles also....I do like these.....although I have to keep telling myself...its just a paint job..(Although I may be "opening" myself up here to some abuse...teehee)....and theres no special bits on it...and you'd have to sort out the shocking extreme tec rear shock and front marzocchis...and get rid of the cast iron girder rear end cans also....Then...it would be nice(r)

SB6 is an odd one.... different dash, forks, yokes, wheels, mastercylinders, brakes.... paint scheme is a little different.... not sure why the Ohlins reservoir is where it is and the battery is in front of the dash rather than behind....

Maybe the old bracket for the ohlins res broke?....Different clocks?,,,maybe the old wheels were speedo pick-up drive unit off front wheel...cable driven...change of wheels to more modern.....new clocks for electronic pick up if new wheels didnt accommodate mechanical speedo drive unit I imagine....Does look nice though

Yeah that all makes sense. I was thinking maybe it has a different Ohlins shock and the hose to the res is a different length? The original remote res simply has a plastic coated P type clamp the bolts directly to the frame on the RHS lower.

All nice improvements by the looks, I wonder what else it has?
