ah the V-due...
Ah the V-due...one of the best looking bikes ever produced in my little opinion. Love the concept of a 500cc street legal smoker. Shame they apparently never ran right from the factory.
Did anyone ever get one to run correctly and does anyone have any links to more information about them? I'd love to one day scoop one up, even if just to look at it if the damn thing won't run right.
Anyway, fire away with any info you might have. Thanks in advance

thanks for the tips, folks. shot gpstar an email, they do have one but it's most likely going to be sold this weekend and that's sooner than I was wanting to purchase. So- if anyone wants one $16.5 is your ticket to happiness~ or frustration depending on how the stars and moon are aligned the day you are trying to take it for a spin

It mentions it's a 'carb' version... I guess that's how they fixed the FI problems, they got rid of it.

This solution was in fact covered somewhere. I don't recall if it's in my magazine collection or not, however the carbed version was supposed to run quite well. Perhaps that was in reference to the FI one, but the story gave me hope when I read it. A Vdue in the garage (or in this case, on the street) would be awesome.
