![]() one of only 7 ever imported and 16 ever made world wide,or so we were told, this 500 cc two stroke Bimota was the rarest beast there, ![]() not sure why the suki was there tbh, but glad it was with 30 k on the clock and mint condition. [IMG] ![]() among the prancing horses and raging bulls...this gem! Last edited by Moco1961; 01-09-2019 at 04:07 PM.. Reason: more pics |

An interesting collection of bikes with a few million quids worth of Lambos, Ferraris and Lancias etc. Good spot from Wrider, just a shame he didn't make it, we'll know to get there earlier next time so we can get a prime spot for our bikes instead of the side street pavement

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. ![]() Surely that kind of chrome never goes out of style- just lovely!

Hi Flip, interesting, was he a guy from the North East, around 5ft 10", .....he said he had a carb and an injection.....possibly the same chap.

"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... " https://www.odd-bike.com/2012/11/bim...ed-bimota.html Fuel injected 2stroke Husquevarnas are apparently brilliant too!
