Bimota YB9SR in detail
Returning to the history of the model, the YB9SR It would come as an update to the first simple YB9, commonly known under the pseudonym “Bellaria”. Although the latter used the engine that was mounted on the FZR600 contemporary, the new YB9SR would release, even before the Yamaha model, the engine that would reach the new YZF600 Thundercat.
Their 104 HP of power at 11,750 rpm They were enough to make piloting this YB9SR quite an experience. Alan Cathcart He defined it perfectly when in his personal test of the model for Cycle World he explained:
“It's a true supercar contender, with a cheeky focus on the racetrack, a testimonial passenger seat and aggressive styling based on that of Bimota's Tesi ES. “Bimota has hit the nail on the head for the second time in the supersport objective”.
And continues: “The throttle response on the YB9SR is so vivid that you run the risk of momentarily spinning the rear wheel when rolling over bumpy surfaces, even if you twist your wrist carefully.”
Concludes: “But the instant acceleration you get from just 3,000 rpm (the big power hit happens around 8,000 rpm) is a big reward for this fairly sudden throttle response.”
It is clear that Bimota worked conscientiously to be able to make the most of the virtues of the Japanese engine. For this he endowed this YB9SR of an excellent cycle part, in which elements such as a 41mm Paioli fork on its front or a braking signed by Brembo with double 320 mm disc on the front axle.
