Posted: Fri Jun 21, 2019 6:42 am Post subject: YB9 and SB8R coming to Centrepoint |
|
|
As above, currently sitting at customs our favourite QLD importer has a YB9SRi and a SB8R about to be cleared and prepped for sale.
They've also currently got that SB6R with the Corse pipes, and they're slowly putting together another SB6R that was sitting for ages with bits as the figure out what they've got.
There's a DB3 being parted along with a BB1 or two, and sad case of sad cases, a YB6ie sitting with no tank/airbox/fairings/front end. Still has it's throttle bodies - didn't think to look for the CDI though. |

Yes went there last week looking to secure one of their rolling chassis BB1 as a spare,but alas the two they had were sold on. There is still a frame and motor for a BB1 there, but it does sound like they have some exciting Bims on the way soon |

Its actually a red YB9SR and not the sri….which is better as its just carbs to deal with and not bimotas fuel injection....usual shoddy video from that lad.....far too quickly taken...as theres 2 No. SB8R's in that warehouse...one with the standard heavy silver 3 spoke antera wheels and one with white 5 spoke Marcheshini wheels....and...If any one can help....theres bodywork for a bimota just appearing at 33 seconds in that I'm not sure what it is....maybe a YB10 biposto?....Or Tesi1D bodywork?...Red/white fully enclosed bodywork....DB2 Junior bodywork??/

If you pause at 28 seconds, you can see it's SB6/7 bodywork. |

Which of course taking into consideration how long they take to sell may not be a good thing _________________ pkay

I spent half an hour there pulling the exhaust off of the parts SB6 to see if it for better than the one on my bike and looked at a video on Facebook. Not spending that much time there at all! |

Doesn't the engine change from a 4JH (foxeye) to a 4TV (Thundercat) ??? the T'Cat has nikasil bores reducing the internal inertia _________________ Don't read everything you believe

Same basic engine layout but lots of different internals parts. Very different drive characteristics . |

I had one of those too, it used the XJ600 aircooled 2 valve engine and the smaller CV carbs from the FZ400R, which is where the steel frame came from. Loads of fun, theres a race series for them now. _________________ Don't read everything you believe |
