Post-Listing Update: As might be expected, the high opening bid scared everyone off. This Bimota V-Due did not attract any bids @ $19,000.
The V-Due is one of the most interesting things that ever came out of Bimota. It came out to tremendous fan-fare: the first two-stroke with fuel injection with a greater power to weight ratio than anything else available on the market. But the fuel injection was awful, and the bikes were incredibly difficult to ride. Combine that with a large number of seized engines, and this bike was an unfortunate disaster.
Time and creativity have brought fixes to the market (from third parties), but it was a bit late for the Italian firm. This bike is worth learning more about – but I’ll defer you to OddBike for a fantastic article explaining how this bike “killed” Bimota. Find this Bimota (which is basically brand new with just 141 miles) for sale in Jamestown, Rhode Island with an opening bid of $19,000
