In their decades of life, the two companies shared only some years together. <br /><br />Franco Morini Motori was choosen by Bimota because it was closer to the Bimota factory and because it was the Italian leader in 2-strokes engines after Minarelli. But they did not have enough skills for a so sophisticated engine.

One appears in the background of a scene where he's training on an exercise bicycle in his home.
