YB5; last of the Tamburini frames and a FJ1200 engine. My first superbike was a FJ1100 so this is like the perfect blend. Built for Two: 1988 Bimota YB5 for Sale | Rare SportBikes For Sale
Indeed. Score! Well done op. That will be a piece of cake to resurrect. Tires, fluids, carb clean, typical stuff. Sounds like you know the drill. I would check the valve clearance unless you know it was recently done. I really enjoy getting bikes in this condition. It's very gratifying when you end up with a completely fresh machine with relatively little resto work and some well placed elbow grease. It's funny I have been doing this since the 90's. Never had an 'FJ pass through my hands but just 3 days ago I dragged a hibernating one out of a garage lol. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Nice one! I sold my SB8K Santamonica a few years back and have been kicking myself ever since. Once I move back to warmer climes I'll be on the lookout for at least 1 Bimota to scratch the itch.
