Bankruptcy and Rebirth

The V Due, introduced in 1997, had a design flaw with their engines. The V Due is a 500cc V-twin two-stroke Motorcycle manufactured by Bimota. Bimota was forced to ditch the novel fuel injection system and re-engineer the entire engine. Bimota ultimately recalled the entire run of the motorcycle. While this was occuring, during the 2000 World Superbike season, one of Bimota's main sponsors disappeared, owning the company a great deal of money. The 2000 Superbike World Championship season was the 13th FIM The combination of events forced Bimota to file for bankruptcy and close their doors.

In 2003, a new group of investors purchased the rights to the Bimota name and designs and re-started the company.
