Yes you read it right...I've just put my first bid on another Bimota....a...….Something B6....In-line.....No...I cant say it......ff...Oooo...uu..nope still wont come out....Hoping I win
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bimota-SB6/333102519210?hash=item4d8e7513aa:g:FxgAAOSwB0hcc~Yg:rk:108:pf:0&autorefresh=true
Silly fellow has showed reg no which shows MOT history and its previous fails...which given its been sat for 8 years inbetween MOTS....and issues were still there when it was last tested...I guess the issues are still there...new rear disc needed and rear master and wheel bearings...as the list of "new work" doesnt include them...its only doen 13 miles since 2011...and i assume "slight misting on stanchion of shock absorber is either fork seals gone or rear shock leaking
https://www.getvehiclesmart.com/vehicle-smart-check.jsp?reg=t361jku
New rear Discs....??? I have it on VERY good authority that brembo have discontinued these for Bimotas....
It says dry stored since 2009...yet MOT history says it was clocking mileage between 2009 and 2011...some 6,000miles in total....so be careful with his desrciption as its clearly wrong.....I would have thought new tyres and wheel bearings would have been done due to age but hes made no mention of it despite saying its had new C&S and brake pads....and fork seals so both wheels have been off recently |

Darn it....a fresh new bidder with "hidden identity" has joined the bidding war.....and outbid my opening offer....I hope its not some "lurker" on here???...you know who you are folks...…
Anyhows...I've seen the opposition off temporarily by raising and raising my bid again.....and my new highest bod of £12.50 has seen him off at the midway point in the race to buy....methinks the seller has had a mate bid in to find out my "max bid".....Hhmmm |

You should ask if it has a full tank of fresh fuel before throwing big bids like that about _________________ Now - SB6R, GSX1400, KTM 990 SuperDuke
Then - H2A Trip, GSX1000R , EXC400, TZ250, R1, TL1000S, 1100 Kat, RG500, RD500, GPZ 900R GPZ1100 UniT, GSX1100, Z650
It was like that when I got here |

Fairing is 1-piece, so Mk1. _________________ Bimota SB6 and Benelli TNT 899S road bikes.
