The V-Due is one of the most interesting things that ever came out of Bimota. It came out to tremendous fan-fare as the first two-stroke with fuel injection – yielding a greater power to weight ratio than anything else available on the market. But the fuel injection was awful, and the bikes were incredibly difficult to ride. Combine that with a large number of seized engines, and this bike was an unfortunate disaster.
Time and creativity have brought fixes to the market (from third parties), but it was a bit late for the Italian firm. This bike is worth learning more about – but I’ll defer you to OddBike for a fantastic article explaining how this bike “killed” Bimota. This specific V-Due (VIN: ZESVT500WR000034) has just 12.5 miles of test rides on it and it comes with all the original paperwork.
