He's the "Ta" from Bimota. So he would have certainly had a hand in all the Bimotas up until the DB1 http://www.dropbears.com/m/models/bimota/db1.htm

Apparently he started designing bikes in 1973, joined Cagiva (Ducatis owners of the time) in '85ish and started with the Paso, basing the frame on the FJ1100 (the frame of which he did for Yamaha while still with Bimota). He finally moved to MV in the late(?) '90s.

Since his credits at Ducati start with the Paso and end with the 9*6 series would that not make him chief designer of all in between? I realise that the Monster was penned by Galluzzi and PT did the SuperMono too but how 'bout the 851/888/900SS?

Anyone got one of those history of Ducati type books?
