In my honest opinion....dont bother....whilst theres a "clue" in the picture of the front cover....the adverts on ebay dont tell you that every picture inside is in Black and White....one of the only items I've ever returned from ebay...even though it cost me the return postage.....the wordings are also straight cut and pastes from motorcycle magazine reviews...that you can get direct from Motorcyclespecs.ze.....only pictures there are in colour.... |

That's right Steve, totally hipster's material... I was expecting that, so no disappointment for me. It is kind of cute to read old naive comments of the testers...

| Quite a bit of history on V due, found it quite interesting and worth the purchase on Amazon. |

Great to read words that were spoken by the great Mr Tamburini and Mr Morri.
I'm really looking forward to reading and learnng about the race bikes and racing side of Bimota. I know a bit about Bimota road bikes but very little about the Bimota racing efforts.
