Bimota “RB1 Furya”, 1980, Italy<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Bimota is an Italian company founded in 1966<\/strong>. The name is the acronym of the first two letters of the members’ last names: BIanchi, MOrri and TAmburini. Initially operating in the field of\u00a0air conditioning and heating systems, the company started producing motorbikes in 1975<\/strong>, offering them both as a kit and complete bikes. In the 90s the kits were no longer available and the production continued just with fully-assembled bikes.
\nExcept for a few bikes,\u00a0the Bimota models name always followed a simple name with two letters and a number:
\nThe first letter is the initial of the engine maker: H for Honda, K for Kawasaki, S for Suzuki, Y for Yamaha, D for Ducati, G for Gilera (the latter just for racing versions); La second letter is the B of Bimota; the number represents how many bikes with the engine from the same maker were made: for example SB3 is the third Bimota powered by a Suzuki engine; YB11 is the eleventh Bimota powered by a Yamaha engine.<\/p>\n
