The 1992 MY Bimota YB8 is a powerful, liter-class sport-bike that is sure to feel at home both on city streets, as well as the race track, thanks to its engine, borrowed from the Yamaha FZR1000 EXUP, a liquid-cooled, four-stroke, 1002cc, transverse four cylinder unit that produces 149 horsepower and 117 Nm of torque.
It also comes with race-derived features such as a 42mm Marzocchi telescopic front fork, a Marzocchi mono-shock in the rear, adjustable for compression and rebound damping, a Brembo braking system with dual front discs and a single disc in the rear, an analogue instrument cluster, a full-fairing with a large windscreen, a single seat and cast-aluminium wheels.
