Rider Profile

Best For	This bike demands an experienced, confident rider comfortable with a raw, race-bred machine that offers little forgiveness for mistakes.
Purpose	Built purely for high-speed cornering and track-focused riding, blending a powerful Yamaha-derived engine with exotic Bimota chassis engineering.
Rider Fit	Riders should expect an aggressive, committed riding position with low clip-ons and rearsets that place significant weight on the wrists and demand core strength.
Character	The SB 6 R feels like a scalpel-sharp Italian exotic, rewarding precise inputs with razor-quick handling and visceral four-cylinder power delivery.
Not Ideal For	This is not the bike for beginners, commuters, or anyone seeking comfort, practicality, or a relaxed everyday ride.

Units

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2001 Bimota SB 6 R, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
