Lots of people have a spare one...or 2.... Laughing

But whilst they still own a vdue....cant see anyone selling you one....its not like they come up for sale very often.....the 2nd last one I saw for sale was up at £1500 in ebay....the last one I saw for sale...which was in the UK....went for £750....local collection only...blokey wouldn't post out...although he did have a spare set of barrels and heads...and a bimota rear packing stand that "apparently" he sold for £100 extra when collected with the petrol tank....and the tank had the cap...a key...the low fuel sender and a tap and the blanking plate all still installed

Piero is looking into having a new batch of tanks made.

According to his email he is waiting for a quote for the mold and if that is reasonable tanks may be available by October.

Fingers crossed!

Wow....that man never ceases does he...??...Over 70 years old and still at it....strange that he would be doing this...he has a few spare frames and the odd engine or 2.....but is running out of a lot of parts to make anymore complete Vdues....Swinging arm is one....forks and yokes and clock sets is another...And yes...tanks he ran out of some time ago

Yes it is good news that the tanks are getting made again
Just might put one more together

There are parts still out there and they are great to ride so let the missing parts be made I say Wink Wink Wink
