I’m developing this work on 2 precious Bimota 500 Vdue units and models, both of them need an fully recovery work that is to be made in the most infamous detail so that the bikes when delivered to the owner are new (and in some details better than new), also as they are different models the use of them will be different so also all the adjustments and tuning will reflect that.
In this case I’m talking about a Bimota Vdue Iniezione from 1997 and a Bimota Vdue Trofeo from 2000, both at the moment are road legal, but the Trofeo is to be tuned and adjusted from track use only.

The photos showing the state of the bikes when they arrived to me:

The next phase of the job was to check if the bikes worked and to see also if there were engine problems to solve.

The photos of the problems found on the Bimota Vdue Trofeo:

Cool video. Why were they in that condition when you bought them?

Looks like they have had a hard life, will take a big effort and lots of passion to recover, good luck.
