Announced at the Milan Show in 1993, the SB7 used a Bimota-modified and fuel-injected version of the Suzuki GSX-R750 SP engine and was intended to spearhead the Rimini firm's attack on the World Superbike Championship. Effectively a 'homologation special', the SB7 was priced accordingly - in the UK it cost around £20,000, as much as a Honda RC45 - and sold in limited numbers, only 200 being made.
We are advised by the vendor that the machine offered here is the only one to be finished in this distinctive 'tricolore' colour scheme. The Bimota has formed part of a private collection for many years and will require re-commissioning and fresh tyres before further use. Currently displaying a total of only 5,621 kilometres on the odometer, it will have been inspected and run immediately prior to the sale.
