Man...you're fucking amazing. Does Anne mind you munching mens butts?

Seems you are the one that swings both ways here, says something and then does the complete opposite.

actually, it's more than just power and weight and there's no general rule; just the rules. If 59HP is the max, there's at least half a dozen bikes on the list t a glance, that exceed that so called limit. Hell, I even posted some!

Actually ... The LAM's system is based on a power to weight ratio. Thus ... the more horsepower the bike has ... the heavier it needs to be. As long as it is under 660 cc and it's weight in production form meets the power to weight formula (150 Kilowatts per tonne) it can be approved as a LAM's motorcycle.

The Bimota YB7 is listed as developing 47.5 Kilowatts. You list the bike at 160 kg (plus 90 kg for rider and safety gear as required in LAM's legislation)

The formula ... The power-to-weight ratio calculation involves the power output (kilowatts)being divided by the tare weight of the motorcycle plus 90 kg (for rider and safety gear).The result is then multiplied by 1000 (to convert to kW per tonne).


Thus the end figure is 194 Kilowatts. 44 Kilowatts over .... I doubt ANY inspector will overlook that number.

It' ALL about the power to weight ratio. And the rules are remove any ambiguity that may be implied in legislation. Or believed by some people.

The "Rules" ...

Tends to happen when you spam bomb.

I'm surprised Bimota are still going. They lost their relevance years back when everyone started making better sport bikes. Just a item for the rich now.

Pretending to be a buyer? id be careful about assuming that.

I have owned a lot of bikes and the guys at my local VTNZ know me by name.

They've probably got his photo on their smoko room wall. As a warning.

they can't be very good if they only made that many?

The ad say thats the number known to be made, dependent on the unknown number made they could be very popular?

Apparently Yamaha did some kind of deal with Bimota & that model was mass produced & sold through Yamaha dealers in Japan & is as common as dogshit.

You must be right, so bloody common I just found one in my garage. Mind you there'd be 3 with change left over at the price being rather optimistically asked.

Well they must be as common as beaten up Toyota Granvia's then. Here ya go. JDM only. http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/mod...a_yb7%2088.htm

without a KB2 the best value Bimota on tardme is that BB1. Even if it has that chick covered in awful tatts draped all over it.
