EXUP Worldwide was born from the ashes of the original EXUP Brotherhood – the definitive forum for all those who have interest in Yamaha FZ, FZR, and YZF motorcycles.
The say a picture is worth a thousand words. Take a look at what the other EXUP Worldwide members ride, or post your own pride & joy. Please use your submission point, or post your own link.
This is my new bike after owning a RG500 for 9 years.
Have spent quite a bit in last few months on general stuff
as last owners were #@#$%!!
In the process of buying diagnostic and remapping equipment for the Weber Marelli FI.
Has a TPS sensor issue but otherwise goes really well.
Some guys have put FCR carbs these furano's.
I plan to dyno it soon to compare with carb EXUP performance as Bimota originally said 164hp and mags I have read say more like 138rwhp.
Has done 26,000km and had 4 owners (imported from UK)
Any chance you're parting it out, I could really use those forks and wheels, JK, sorry, that's my one dink joke for the week.
Always loved the Bimota stuff, very nice indeed.
I would think the 138 measure might have been a stock Rear Wheel number, just a thought?

Yes Yes I know, I said, I'm building a project YZF1070
Basement is done now, 850 finished and gone...
Gotta get the new siding up on the house.
Fixing the FZ1 up, cleaning up garage and then I might even begin
I checked out that mcreports.com, there were heaps of articles for sure!
He does have a number of Bimota specific articles too but I couldn't find any YB8 or 11 info.
Thanks I'm always on the hunt for any new FZR or Bimota info.
The British mags I have with furano reviews aren't that positive about them.
It's mostly about their original price with the odd dig about the self retracting side stand.
I think there is a lot more Yamaha parts used on the YB8 than people realise - these are the only bits easily obtainable!
The riding position makes my old RG500 feel like it was a comfy sports tourer but
I don't get off it and stink of burnt 2 stroke oil.
That is simply a BEAUTIFUL machine.......SEXY and CLASSY!! I've always been a big fan of Yamaha powered Bimotas and the Furano is my all-time fav Bimota!
OMG!! I know this may sound stupid but..WHAT IS THAT?Can someone gimme some literature?I want one NOW!!Anyone know where one is for sale??PLEASE HELP!!
