About ten motorbikes were built in ten years. "Pep" worked on the twin after his normal duty in the workshop of Giogio Pianta and although his financial resources were very limited compared to those of his competitors, he gained enough success to reach an important place in the history of the racing motorbikes.
The production will be limited to just a few pieces, created by hand, one by one, with the most caring attention. It is a perfect example of the highest-level craftsmanship, which has always been admired in the past, just as it is now. The twin will be available for collectors who are fond of classic bikes and who will be proud to show it in the various historical meetings. But the Paton 8V RU is most of all a racing bike and will be a fabulous companion to the drivers who will decide to compete in the historic bike races. The Twin Paton 4 stroke participated in more than 150 official competitions from 1966 to 1975 obtaining precious results in Italian championships and World Championships. Many important riders raced with the twin Paton such as Fred Stevens, Angelo Bergamonti, Billy Nelson, Virginio Ferrari (Ferrari raced the Bimota frame model), and Roberto Gallina.

Welcome
to Moto Paton, USA! There was once a time when motorbikes were created by
the passion and genius of people who would reach their dreams with extraordinary
resolution. From the passion, skill, and resolution of Giuseppe Pattoni, the
"Pep", at the beginning of the sixties the Paton twin 4 stroke was born.
The first displacement was 250cc, then it grew to 350cc and finally 500cc in
order to obtain a huge number of important national and international results.
There
are more than a few experts who acknowledge to this motorbike an exceptional
place in history and Roberto Pattoni, who inherited from his father the honor
and responsibility to continue the activity, is constantly receiving requests
for building more models of the most famous of the Paton bikes. So, Paton
entered a new challenge in building again the 4 strokes twin with usual passion
and greatest efforts, with the help of the best available technologies in order
to create a new motorbike with the same characteristics of the original one, but
more technically advanced. Starting from the yellowish but precious forty
year-old drawings and going through the latest mathematical processes together
with the most updated mechanical processing, the new 4 stroke twin is living
again as "Riedizione Ufficiale". 
In
the motorcycle scene there are several "replicas" of historical motorbikes. But
that is not the case of the Paton BIC 500 8V RU, which cannot be defined as
replica as it is exactly the same model built by the same maker. It is
rather a natural evolution of the same bike which raced in the sixties and
seventies, built by the same factory which since then has never interrupted its
activities.
