This 1997 Bimota SB6-R is said to have been purchased new in Pennsylvania and spent 20 years in storage until it was acquired by the selling dealer in January 2024. The bike is finished in red with silver, black, and green graphics and is powered by a Suzuki-sourced 1,074cc DOHC inline-four paired with a five-speed transmission. Equipment includes a full fairing, a solo seat, a carbon-fiber subframe and fenders, a quartet of Mikuni carburetors, a steering stabilizer, a Paioli fork, an Öhlins monoshock, 17″ Antera wheels, triple Brembo disc brakes, and a side stand. This SB6-R has 188 miles and is now offered with a clean Michigan title.
The bike is finished in red with silver, black, and green graphics over a twin-spar aluminum frame, and it features a solo seat with a carbon-fiber self-supporting subframe. Additional equipment includes carbon-fiber fenders, rear-set foot controls, and a full fairing with a smoked windscreen and dual mirrors.
Three-spoke 17″ Antera wheels are wrapped in Michelin tires. Adjustable suspension consists of an inverted 46mm Paioli fork in addition to a remote-reservoir Öhlins monoshock mounted to the right side of the aluminum box-section swingarm. Braking is from a pair of drilled 320mm discs with four-piston Brembo calipers up front and a single 230mm rotor paired with a two-piston Brembo caliper at the rear.
Clip-on handlebars are mounted below the top triple clamp, which fronts an instrument panel housing a 185-mph speedometer, a tachometer with an 11,500-rpm redline, and a digital display that shows 188 miles.
The 1,074cc DOHC inline-four was shared with the contemporary Suzuki GSX-R1100, and it features liquid cooling, Bimota-developed camshafts, and an exhaust system with dual under-tail mufflers. Factory-rated output was 156 horsepower and 85 lb-ft of torque. The seller notes that the bike will not run with the choke off and that the carburetors are in need of cleaning.
Power is sent to the rear wheel through a five-speed transmission and a drive chain, the latter of which has a carbon-fiber guard integrated into the rear fender.
