italian motor festival
[IMG][/IMG]
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][/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!
