Out of thread, but what was the last Italian bike to win a TT ? Sorry, I'm not much in today's racing, so SMBH's win in '78 springs to mind, any win between then and now ?

There were other three italian bikes TT win after SMBH's 1978 win. The following:
- 1984. 350 Historic TT - Steve Cull, Aermacchi 350cc.
- 1985. Formula II TT - Tony Rutter, Ducati 600cc.
- 1995. Single TT - Robert Holden, Ducati 560cc.
