Motorcycle specifications Bimota500 V-DUE Corsa Evoluzion 2001 The scent of GP

A little extra power for the V-Due. The sirens of competition galvanize Bimota's pretensions. Its twin-cylinder engine now spits out 135 hp at 10500 rpm. Even more racing in its thinking, it defends an era that the arrival of MotoGP will profoundly upset: With Aprilia's 250 RS, only this Bimota 500 V DUE is left to make the meowing of holey cylinders. The only big 2-stroke twin on the market, the Bimota appeared with a few problems and an electronic injection system outstripped by the engine's pace. For this Evolutione edition, the Italian forgets its problems and goes back to good old carburetors. It is offered in 2 versions: Strada for the road, and Trofeo for the track, its preferred venue. The V DUE is a special machine in motorcycle production, not only because of its engine design, but also because of its strengths: 118 hp to carry a featherweight of 145 kg dry weight. With this, you have everything you need to enter another dimension. The engine is smooth and easy to ride... before becoming impressively furious once it reaches 8,000 rpm. The chassis is no slouch either. It's sporty, period! Stable and ultra-efficient, this machine is like a fish in water on the racetrack - and gratifies you with its unrivalled handling and musicality. Although a little expensive, it is nothing less than an exceptional machine.
