Bimota was formed in Rimini, Italy in 1973 by Messrs Bianchi, Morri and Tamburini -  The name of the company being derived from the first two letters of each name.  The SB2 was the firms's first purpose-built roadster and held its 75bhp air-cooled GS750 motor in a tubular steel frame.  The firm had used the best suspension, brakes, and tires Available at the time. Their claim to fame came around 1989 when Bimota engineers got 55 989cc Yamaha FZR engines and produced a 186mph Fuel injected motorcyle called The YB6ei Tuatara, which was at the time 16 mph faster than the record holder Kawasaki ZX-10, Several editions of the Guinness book of records confirm this feat.
