RANDOM PICTURES

Bike expo 2010. The V2 is always on the run for its evergreen style, unbeatable. Here in black.

The Trofeo edition has the 2 exhausts beneath the tail in a asymetrical fashion, without the 2 chambers of the normal edition ( I.E. or carburators) .

DESIGN OF GODS

The first real shape of tank and seat. In the ultimate version, the air intake close to the seat will be dismissed.

The first half of definitive V2. To reply the second half with a very precise simmetry, a Minardi Formula 1 machinery was used.

One of tridimensional squeeze, with two sided seat, on carbon structure, to increase stiffness.

SERGIO ROBBIANO

These 2 pictures are very interesting because trace the storyline of the model by its designer, Sergio Robbiano, one of the ultimate Tamburini pupils. The red version is one of the latest, with the exhausts underneath the seat. The yellow one is the ultimate version, with definitive decals, and introduced at Colonia Motorshow in 1996. Strong sport shapes, classical lines...Let's remember that this bike was born into a major intent to put Bimota into the 500 cc competitions stardom...

RANDOM PICTURE( GIBSON AFTERMARKET EXHAUSTS)

Rear undervision of exhausts; in this case we see 2 Gibson ( Essex, UK) carbonated middle cans, instead of the right usual lateral, but it's not so clear the rendevouz with collectors, which is very complicated on stock( we'll see later), because the double couple of expansion chambers. The golden choise for this bike in my experience is Jolly Motor exhausts, specifically developed by the italian factory Jolly Motor, located on Iseo lake, Lombardia, NorthItaly, for all the " Trofeo " V2 and stock, all over the years with excellent results.
