'''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 firm'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 [[:Category:Yamaha FZR|Yamaha FZR]] [[engines]] and produced a 186mph Fuel injected [[motorcycle]] 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. | '''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.
