It looks like they are no more.

Shame, they've made some beautiful bikes.

That is incredibly sad, Bimota were visually stunning - to the point where 3 images stick in my mind and sum up Bimota for me - the Tesi, the V-Due and the Bloodrunners cartoon.

Bye-bye, Bimota.

Lovely looking bikes....well, some of them. But always dependent on another company's bikes in order to build their own, so always playing catch-up.

It is indeed a shame. I loved my HB2 and YB6
