For the eighth time, the PS.SPEICHER in Einbeck invited motorcycle enthusiasts to the PS.BIKERTAG. With ideal weather for riding, numerous visitors came along to admire the exceptional motorcycles and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and personal exchange within the biker community.
This year’s PS.BIKERTAG was held under the motto “Rare and Coveted – Motorcycles with a Story.” The theme struck a chord with many motorcycle enthusiasts. In addition to the exceptional motorcycles from the PS.SPEICHER collection, the program also focused on “Show Us Your Bike – The Stories Behind the Bikes.” Motorcycles from the community were presented together with their owners. The focus was therefore not solely on technical specifications or model years, but above all on the stories, experiences, and memories associated with the machines. This personal aspect was one of the event’s particular highlights.
My Bimota YB10 Dieci also attracted considerable attention. Although the motorcycle was not part of the official program, its striking appearance and extreme rarity quickly made it one of the most interesting bikes at the gathering. The YB10 Dieci dates back to 1991. Only 224 examples of this exclusive model were ever produced — a figure that impressively demonstrates just how rare it is to encounter one of these Bimotas today.
The name “Dieci,” Italian for “ten,” refers to Bimota’s tenth collaboration with Yamaha. Power came from the 1,002 cc four-cylinder engine of the Yamaha FZR 1000 EXUP. Bimota combined this proven Japanese engine with an elaborately engineered Italian chassis and a distinctive lightweight design concept. The specifications included a Marzocchi upside-down fork as well as high-quality braking and suspension components.
The YB10 Dieci therefore embodies exactly what this year’s PS.BIKERTAG motto promised: rare, coveted, and with a story all of its own. The fact that the Bimota did not even have to be part of the official program to attract the visitors’ attention says a great deal about its unique appeal. Time and again, motorcycle enthusiasts stopped to admire the unusual machine and struck up conversations with one another.
The motorcycles brought along by visitors also included numerous rare and exceptional machines, repeatedly attracting curious looks and sparking conversations. The parking area itself therefore became a small exhibition, offering plenty of opportunities to take a close look at both well-known and lesser-known motorcycle classics.
