In 1988 Davide Tardozzi almost won the first World SuperBike title on his Yamaha powered Bimota YB4. The result at the end of the year was something of rip off. He finished third, 7.5 points adrift from Merkel. The thing is that Tardozzi won race 1 in the hills around Nottingham at Donnington Park but…
Remember this ? That’s right, this is Mick Doohan at Suzuka on a factory HRC RVF. What we have here is an OKI (see above) colored Honda RC30: The bike had 2 previous owners and currently indicates 20500km on the clock. The frame has been polished and the paint scheme is not standard (experts out…
