Jeez, Steve, someone walked off with your rear subframe. No way you will be able to ride it, no support for the seat!

Dave (sorry, couldn't resist.)

SO sweet! I was looking for one of those for a long time, but never really found one I was happy with condition / price -wise.

If you can, post some more pics. I'd love to check out the all the tasty bits. And Bimotas have plenty of tasty bits!

I think I'd like to import V-Due someday. Almost nothing tastier than that!

Hey Dave,

I could say the same thing about your forks

I also need to say, to view my pic not scaled, right click, select view image, then depending on your screen res, you may be able to zoom in.

Cheers

Looks good!

I'll look out for you on Sunday. I hope to be dragging a mate along who has an SB6R.

It looks good, like the wind screen. If you could make the white outlined SB6 decal to put on the lower front fairing our make it the same color as the pinstripping, I think it would finish it off. The wheels look like brembo or March. three spokes I always thought they were mag. it looks like they are alu. Some of the last SB6 were a dark grey almost black color with just white outlined decals on the tank, tail and lower fairing, there is a picture in the Sarti book. I think it should turn out quite nice.

Hi Rod,

I'll look out for you, i am going to try and drag a mate along who owned possibly 2 of the best Laverdas in the country, an immaculate Jota 180, and SFC 1000.

Unfortunately he had to sell both for business reasons, it almost killed him to sell the Jota, he had owned it for almost 20 years. They were both covered in Two Wheels in the 90's from memory, in an Italian Bikes edition.
