If you're a Bimota enthusiast, get in touch, you know what you're looking at. If you have heard about Bimota but not sure what all the fuss is about, read on.
Bimota, like other race bike manufacturers existed to make a bike go round corners as fast as possible. Where mainstream manufacturers had to consider comfort, pillion provision and cost-per-unit versus the competition, all Bimota had to do was win races. So they built complex hand built chassis that could be easily modified in search of improvement because they didn’t need to tool up to make 10,000, just the handful. And their bikes could be radical, focused and not especially civilised. So Bimotas were the first bikes to have properly reinforced bracing around the headstock and swing-arm pivot. First to use a single shock rear suspension, first to use fully-enclosed aerodynamic bodywork and radical race-inspired riding positions too. What Bimota also did that their competitors didn’t was to finish their bikes like a Rolls Royce too. They were as stunning to look at as they were to ride.
The YB's from this era strike the perfect balance between performance, desirability and price. The riding experience is still very special. You won't find another one at 2 Wheels 1 Love or Cars & Coffee.
Very few were sold through specialty dealerships and private imports in Australia When sold new, they were priced at £16990 which was equivalent to well over $35,000 at the time.
The Bimota YB10 Dieci is considered a rare and collectible motorcycle, with valuations varying based on factors such as condition, mileage, originality, and provenance. Recent sales and listings provide insight into its current market value:
