Thats a good price that Brian.....most go for 200 euros or more.........Only reason I know the true original price is because I bought an English version for Vort direct from the publishers website...and it had the price on there...it was the only English version he had left...although he had some 10 Italian versions left also.
Still is...and will possibly remain so...the only definitive history of Bimota ever to be written...as since its publication date of 2000....there was the bankruptcy...followed by the reinvention and manufacture of the Db5/6/7/8/9/10/11 and BB2/3...with the dabble into WSB Evo class...so unlikely there'll be a new version anytime soon..........  |

Thanks for the info Steve. I stopped looking for a long time because the ones i'd seen on ebay were too expensive. I'm happy that I've finally picked one up for a reasonable price.

I received my 'Bible' in the mail a couple days ago. Very fast shipping from Italy compared to other countries that I've sourced parts from.
It truly is a beautiful book! Lots of wonderful pictures and so much history. Now to find the time to read
