I know this may be seem a bit anorak'ish , but having done a search for Bimota world superbike footage on the net, can't find anything.
Anyone got any or know which Duke dvd's to get ?

I think the problem is most was before the digital age of cameras, handicams etc, car boot sale of videos may be best bet. To narrow your search, and because I know you don't have the "bible" I will look in the index tonight and list all of the competitions that they listed in, as theres a nice section in there, presumably you are looking for the Santamonica/Gobert running round? Will gladly list the races they took part in to help with your youtube search

The YB4, after winning the F1TT championship the year before, was entered in the world superbike series when it started in '88.

The first race was held at Donington, (and I was there). The race weekend consisted of two races, with an aggregate being used to decide the winner. Tardozzi rode the YB4 and won the first race, in the second race he wasn't so well placed.

Recently there was the HB4, ridden by 'willie rot' in the moto2 class.
