Bimota's first Ducati-powered bike, answering critics that it only used Japanese engines. A stretched Pantah V-twin sits in a trellis frame with full bodywork; it is light, low and quick-steering but hard-riding and single-minded. The standard version was held back by quiet, restrictive air and exhaust gear.
