The Bimota Story

Beschreibung

Founded in 1973, Bimota started out modifying existing bikes, and then building its own high-performance machines. Its bikes were known for excellent handling, innovative design, and cutting-edge technology, and soon gained a loyal following. Despite financial struggles, the company has continued to produce exclusive, high-end motorcycles.
