Brothers Guideo and Alvaro Vertemati founded a motorcycle company after winning several European and International titles with Husqvarna Italy and Husaberg Italy. They were the first company to go with four-strokes in off-roading (Dirt Bike magazine says they “changed the world” in this story) and went on to evolve their enduros and MX bikes into supermotos that were race bikes for the street.
This example (VIN: ZA95700S03TG54055) has an engine failure “due to human error” back in 2005, but it has since received a new engine which was installed by a “professional workshop.” The new motor has just 7.5 kilometers on it and will need to be broken in, but these bikes are only for people who will be fine with constant maintenance (I believe oil changes are scheduled for every 8 hours).
