He's down to just two now, one carburated and one fuel injection- I thought they were all fuel injected but I know it was that which made them so horrible to ride. This one obviously wasn't as it had a plenty of miles on it and he was on for a near three hundred mile round trip that day.

I read recently that the problem with these bikes was not actually the design of the fuel injection, but the implementation/ low quality specs on the crank cases...
"Ed. Note December 2013 - Since writing this piece in 2012 I've learned that the main problem with the V-Due is improper crankcase sealing due to flaws in the crankcase castings, not simply a wonky fuel injection setup. You can fix a V-Due! Bob Steinbugler at Bimota Spirit offers newly manufactured crankcases that fix this issue and allow you to rebuild the V-Due into the screaming sport weapon it was meant to be. If only Bimota had known... "

Fuel injected 2stroke Husquevarnas are apparently brilliant too!
