If the acquisition of Kawasaki materializes \u2013\u00a0<\/em>continues Morri<em>\u2013 and this news proved to be well founded and I would be happy and proud, because it would mean that the brand was stronger than those who have seriously damaged it in the last 20 years. If I&#8217;m interested in returning? Absolutely not. I am 78 years old and my adventure in Bimota ended in 1993. Bimota is one of my creatures, so I hope it can be relaunched as it deserves. For me it would be an immense joy. My heart has always been and will always remain in this brand&#8221;<\/em><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Source : Yesterbike<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":19541,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,39],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19540"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19540"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19540\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19542,"href":"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19540\/revisions\/19542"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19541"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
