Hi there
Just a question...is this: http://cybermotorcycle.com/gallery/bimota/Bimota_SB6_95_blue_lhs.htm
A stock colour? I've never seen it before and as far as i know there is only one blue sb6 and that is the sb6r 25 th anny edition.
Anyone if anyone can help me just let me know.

Only 3 stock colours issued to europe but other colours went to far east and who knows what to USA? Would be interesting to see the whole catalogue... _________________ Pomps

Paris show, sometime late 90s
but it can't be factory with the wheel paint and frilly edging on the mudguards. On the Bimota stand though.
And a cut off rear fender
Very similar- detail differences are the coloured Bimota logo and an SB6 logo added
and here's the DB2SR show colouring also at Paris that year, that's in Sartis' book and on some brochures, but doesn't seem to have made it to production- not enough purple probably?
not 3 of them- those are mirrors behind . . _________________ Bimota DB2 tricolore, Bimota YB4e.i, Ducati 851 tricolore, Ducati Hailwood Replica, 1968 Gitan Grillo sport, Yamaha GTS1000, Honda Deauville, Honda GB500 Clubman

I'm loving that SB6 in blue and I'm still confident it's not a "stock" factory paint job
If I ever get around to painting my spare fairing, I think it will look something like that _________________ SB6 mk1 (project mega light, big bore)

It does look good. I wonder if all the jap ones are also after market paint jobs? I see a lot of trick bikes over there, especially italian bikes, that have all sorts done to them ... _________________ Pomps
