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.
Regards,

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...

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 Rolling Eyes

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 . .

I'm loving that SB6 in blue and I'm still confident it's not a "stock" factory paint job Wink

If I ever get around to painting my spare fairing, I think it will look something like that Shocked

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 ...
