Bimota V Due spotted, running and riding and everything.
Discussion
I've seen one in the wild too, refuelling at the petrol station in Hornacastle near Cadwell. I'm sure someone told me it was someone from round there, so there's two (or one that travels somehow under it's own steam ) being used.
Actually, someone posted a picture of themself on one on here not long ago.

Are you sure ?The most pointless special I've seen
Good Lord. I was delighted when these came out, I know they didn't work, but I loved them anyway, in the same way that any metal petrolhead loves anything different and a bit mad
I'd still love one in my fantasy garage.
Has anyone seen a Honda NR750 on the road?
I've ridden one - but only round the yard at Honda HQ in Chiswick. My mate took me up there back in the day when he bought one. The heathen didn't ever ride it though, it went straight into storage as an 'investment...' Lost touch with him now so no idea if he still has it.
Then when I was down in Jerez one year for the Spanish Moto GP in about 1996 - one turned up in the town, filthy, covered in flies with a map badly sellotaped to the tank was so nice to see the owner had obviously ridden it a long way down to Southern Spain.

Was this not the bike that was in Performance Bikes a couple of months back? If so the owner has a very special VDue that he keeps as a collectors piece and had the replica put together so he could ride something similar.
Why would you do that?I thought there were fuelling issues on the first series bikes that could be solved now, making the bikes reasonably usable? Certainly if you had the money to build a replica bike you could get a real one sorted for less, I'm sure!
