If Massimo Tamburini had not broken his Honda 750 four racetrack in Misano in September 1972 the legend that is now Bimota might never have existed. After recovering from three broken ribs he began the construction of a tubular steel frame to cope with the horsepower engines produced by major Japanese manufacturers. This frame has reduced the weight of the original Honda and lowered the center of gravity and by the HB1, of which only ten were made, the story begins.Bimota appointed the initial drift of the three founders, Bianchi, Morri and Tamburini, but it was the passion and excellence in technology Tamburini was the driving force behind the company.
