Or Made in Italy (http://www.madeinitalymotorcycles.com/) can get you an ex-Trofeo racer.
Or Pierro in Milan (vdue.it) has 4 or 5 new ones left to sell. _________________ Bimota SB6 and Benelli TNT 899S road bikes.

It's true I am considering selling my Evo 3. It's off being serviced/having work done on the carbs at the moment. Here's some details
Okay it's an Evo 3 on an 03 plate. I bought the bike from North Leicester m/cycles in Dec 05. It has just over 3000km (had around 1200 km when I bought it) on the clock. When I got it the original bellypan was damaged, a common problem because when they convert them to carbs they use a racing airbox which is wider than the original and this puts the fairing and in particular the bellypan under a lot of stress. I bought a CF racing style bellypan from Maurizio (V-Due USA) a friend of Pierro, the original bellypan would come with the bike. When I got it the two stroke pump was set up wrong meaning that two stroke oil was peeing out of the exhausts onto the rear wheel. Took it to a two stroke/Bimota specialist called Total Traction. They set up the pump, re packed the exhausts and supplied new rubbers for the carbs where they go into the airbox (Pierro was supplying the bikes with draught excluder to do this job). They also sorted out a leaking oil seal in the clutch ( again a common problem), the bike will also come with a brand new set of clutch plates which I bought as spares. They dyno'd the bike and it was putting out 97 BHP at the wheel. Last year had issues with the carbs, which is being sorted at the moment. Had float chamber innards replaced and new jets etc. am also having a vacuum fuel tap fitted as they don't have any sort of fuel tap as standard to turn the fuel off when sitting. It's never been out in the wet and all dash light/functions work perfectly.
Comes with the following :-
Two original keys (one still on the original plastic holder)
Original bellypan
New clutch pack
Two original sales brochures
one slightly different original sales brochure
All original Italian paperwork
Photocopy of owners manual and instructions
CD ROM of the above manuals etc
July 30 2002 MCN road test of V-Due
Mot until August 2012 (would happily re mot to give 12 months, as would pass no problem)
Rear paddock stand.
Now the bad bits:-
Slight mark to side panel paintwork (will send pic when I can) where bolt goes through, someone has over tightened and chipped the paint.
Slight wear to foot peg rubbers.
Tyres are prob past their best |
