Pour Moi Bimota 2011

They see the SB8K as a current model that could be developed to be a part of Bimota's future along with some new models. Apparently Bob Smith of MotoPoint is trying to exploit this to buy Bimota from the Court/Reciever and offerng to take it up lock stock and barrel and keep production in Rimini. In  2011 Italian law allows a company to be saved for a period after bankruptcy is declared.

Any remaining stocks are expected to be sold off along with the rest of the company's assets in an attemt to satisfy creditors. Bimota Importers, MotoPoint and another by a French consortium continued until they were ended by the court's decision on closure. 2 Buy Out bids, one by the U.S. Tognon's involvement in their company which suffered the same fate. Laverda people woulld also have poor memories of Mr.

The ill fated 2 stroke V Due and hub centre steered Tesi models were very expensive mistakes for such a small company, which ultimately brought about it's downfall. This ended of producing some of the most beautifully expensive and desirable bikes in the world.  In 2011 in the wake of massive debts, an Italian Court, after many postponments finally closed the company and declared Bimota officially bankrupt.

Thai Honda PTT SAG To USE Bimota 2011

At the moment it has only been ridden. It’s making very good times. If you are one of 12 then unfortunately it is always a little more difficult when you raise your hand, said Perales, before commenting on the performance of the Italian chassis. There will only be two riders using the Bimota frame in the World Championship. For the head of the Moto2 team this is a situation that will be an advantage when dealing with the factory.

We are pleased because it represents a more direct, more human contact, and if there are problems it will be much easier to resolve them. The deal with the Rimini based manufacturer will make Thai Honda PTT SAG the only team on the grid with the Bimota chassis. Perales said of the situation: We had a preliminary agreement with Suter but there were some terms in the final contract with which we did not agree and in the end we have decided to go with Bimota. The team’s preparations for the new season suffered a delay after their initial agreement with Swiss manufacturer Suter broke down due to contractual disagreements. The team, directed by Edu Perales, are set to contest the campaign with Thai Ratthapark Wilairot and Spaniard Héctor Faubel, and both riders are due to get their first contact with the new bike at the final official pre season test at Jerez (March 27-29).

Thai Honda PTT SAG this week ensured their presence in the new Moto2 category with a deal to use Bimota as their chassis for the 2010 World Championship.
