Accessories for the Bimota SB 8 R

The Bimota SB 8 R is a sports bike that lends itself to focused riding, particularly on winding roads. What you choose to fit depends on how you use it: an easy weekend ride places different demands on the bike from a day spent linking bends and braking repeatedly. For the SB 8 R from 1997 to 2000, the accessories featured here are all about the brakes. That makes this page particularly relevant when braking is the part of your riding you want to address.

What riders usually fit to the Bimota SB 8 R

On a sports bike, braking is closely tied to how you approach a corner. Whether you are riding familiar roads or leaving yourself more room on an unfamiliar route, it is an area worth considering in the context of your own riding.

• Brakes: these are the accessories available here for the SB 8 R, with Braking among the brands represented. They are relevant if you are looking at the bike before a season of winding-road rides, or giving particular attention to a part you use again and again as the pace and the road change. Think about where you ride before deciding what you need to fit.

There is no single way to ride a sports bike. Some outings are about finding a comfortable rhythm on the road; others might include a track day. Those settings call for different questions about braking, so it helps to start with the riding you actually do rather than a general idea of what a sports bike ought to have. The accessories on this page give you a focused place to begin.

If your SB 8 R is mainly used for road rides, consider how often you encounter long stretches of bends and changing traffic conditions. If you also take it to a circuit, keep that separate use in mind. Either way, the aim is to give the brakes the attention that suits your time on this particular bike.
