Watching Tamburini turn three broken ribs into pure motorcrycle art is truly incredible . Do you think we'll ever see that kind of raw , stubborn craftsmanship again in today's era of mass - produced machines , or are those golden days forever?❤❤❤

I remember reading that a Bimota's engine from an OEM manufacturer is always sold as a blueprinted one?

Great telling. Italian beauty in design and function. Amazing it's lived, wow. I've never ridden a sport or race bike and most likely ever will, but you had me drooling, alot, often. Thanks for the great effort.

I saw a KB1 in the early 80s and would have killed to own it. It was so unbelievable compared to my KZ1000.
