Hi

Bimota YB7. Made a bit over 300 over them. FZR400 engine. Quite small, and only made for the Japanese market (commisioned by their Japanese importer).

There is one on Ebay for sale at the moment.

There were a few others as well. There was a 400cc version of the Tesi made.

All the best

Keith

Maybe, but I have got too many 2 wheel investments and I cannot' convince myself with that excuse anymore.

Realistically it would normally go for around £2k, although maybe less at this time of year.

They are pretty small bikes.

All the best

Hi

Personally I think that shape and colour scheme is pretty much perfect.

All the best

^^Same.

Certainly was designed for the smaller rider though. Check out how small the seat space is. Laughing

Hi

Small, but an FZR600 engine fits in. Think a Thundercat one will as well with a bit more effort.

All the best

Just think of it as a late Christmas present Keith. Sort of tempted myself, if only I wasn't married. Rolling Eyes

I think its quite a good looking bike. Maybe a little bulbus, but it works. And with the 600 engine(90hp is it?) would be quite a machine.

I want it, but id have no money left for lessons/test/insurance Laughing

And its only in cambridge... Thinking

Hi

Trying not to spend money. Want to find a new job, and will probably land up taking a pay cut so don't want to spend anything.

All the best
