• Suzuki GSXr1100 oil-cooled motor in Bimota alloy frame

Because of the poor state of frame design in the 1970s, Bimota concentrated initially on building high-quality motorcycle chassis around existing engines and chassis kits for road and race bikes, initially basing their bikes on manufacturer’s top models. As standard frame design improved, Bimota offered exclusive hand made bikes for riders who wanted to stand out from the crowd with one of their most successful models being the SB6, built around the classic Suzuki GSXr1100 oil cooled engine.

This SB6R has been part of a collection of bikes ranging from the 1980s up until the early 2000s, but after amassing over 30 assorted models, he’s decided to downsize his collection. The bike is offered for sale in good standard and original condition with a high quality selection of components from suppliers such as Brembo and Paioli, a beautifully engineered alloy frame and typically stylish bodywork. A perfect blend of Italian style with a ‘bullet-proof’ Suzuki GSXr1100 motor, the bike has not been run for about 4 years, so will need some recommissioning and comes supplied with a current V5C.

• Daytona 1200 4-cylinder sports tourer

• Presented in standard and original trim

• Supplied with a current V5C

The British bike industry collapsed in the 1970s and by the early 1980s Triumph went into receivership. British businessman John Bloor bought the name and manufacturing rights with his “new” Triumph company restarting production in the early 1990s. They are now re-established as one of the world’s best-selling brands. Reviving one of the classic names from the 1960s, the four cylinder Daytona 1200 was launched in 1993 as a comfy sports tourer but still putting out around 150bhp.

This Daytona 1200 has been part of a large and fascinating collection of bikes ranging from the 1980s up until the early 2000s. The vendor has enjoyed searching out examples of more or less all of the bikes he either owned or wanted in the day, but after amassing over 30 assorted models, from a Honda MT50 through to a couple of Bimotas, he’s decided to downsize his collection. The bike is presented in good standard and original condition fitted with colour matched single seat converter. Last run about 5 years ago it will need some recommissioning before use and comes supplied with a current V5C.
