Bimota HB1
“When Honda brought out the CB750 he had to have one.”
Bimota is the builder of ultra-expensive, exclusive and beautifully built motorcycles that are way beyond the bank balance of many motorcycle enthusiasts. But that has never stopped anyone drooling over the Italian exotica whenever they saw one parked up, or dreaming of owning one after being overtaken through a series of curves just a little too easily.
But although Bimota has a formidable reputation thanks to the way its motorcycles handle, the company only came into being because Massimo Tamburini crashed when he found out that the engine of his Honda CB750 had more performance than the chassis could cope with.
In 1966 Valerio Bianchi and Giuseppe Morri
