1997 Bimota SB6-R

This distinct 1997 Bimota SB6-R superbike, manufactured in the heart of Motoitalia's golden era, exquisitely blends Italian craftsmanship with a Japanese engine. Hailing from Barrington Hills, Illinois, this rare bike is a testament to its makers' obsession with lightweight materials and cutting-edge engineering. The SB6-R, draped in a fiery red hue with silver, black, and green graphics, houses a stout Suzuki-sourced 1074cc inline-four, paired with a five-speed transmission, breathing through four Mikuni carburetors and exhaling via a titanium Moto Corse exhaust system. Its carbon-fiber subframe and fenders further emphasize the bike's racing lineage, while the full fairing and solo seat evoke a vintage Formula 1 aesthetic. Currently active in an online auction, this SB6-R bids fair at $4500, inviting motorcycle enthusiasts to appreciate its unique blend of style, speed, and history.
