I have had an SB8rs for 10 years now and it is a superb bike. With the big throttle bodies it is a race bike for the road. During my time with her she has been modified a lot, but is that not the fun of it?

Truely superb and would not swop for anything due to the feeling you get when you ride her.

Need to know

Bimota took Suzuki's TL1000R engine and gave it massive 59mm throttle bodies, all looked after by a Magneti Marelli ecu. The bike has a carbon fibre composite frame, fully self-supported carbon fibre seat unit, variable rake and Ohlins rear shock.
 
Ultra rare. With few Bimota dealers in the country, getting hold of parts and servicing could be a problem.
