Drove a Bimota once, late 80's with a Yamaha engine - Anyone have any info about?

I drove a Bimota once, a long time agon. I think it was 1988 or 1989 or so, overseas in Sweden.

Where is a good place to find some details about that bike?

Thanks in advance,

The original Bimota engine of choice. Current Yamaha powered Bimota inventory at WMM: YB8 (1000 EXUP), YB9 (Fazer 600), YB7 (Fazer 400). Had but sold YB11, found the front end a bit too stiff and unresponsive, preferred the YB8 and had but sold off long ago a YB10 (aka, Dieci). Not thrilled with its looks and found the YB8 a better looking and better all round ride. Dave
