The 250 cc Desmo twin was another of Fabio Taglioni’s creations and was built specifically for Mike Hailwood, with a customized saddle and suspension. Known as “Mike the Bike” after he won various races in the British championship, Hailwood proved to be one of the world’s most talented riders with a career spanning two decades, and both two- and four-wheel championships.
Each of the 250 GP Desmo bikes that Hailwood raced had a fuel tank that was hand-built so as to perfectly accommodate the rider’s knees and improve the aerodynamics.
