Although it doesn't say it anywhere, I believe you have what most consider to be the Bottecchia Professional model.

I think it is the most beautiful of all the Bottecchia's I've ever seen, and I believe it is a very sought after model to. It's definitely a high end Bot for sure. I have never seen one up close, so I can't really talk about the level of craftsmanship involved, but I've never heard an owner complain, and they really look beautiful and well made to me. Ride reports are very good as well.

Check out this thread to see one of the most beautiful Bot's on this forum. Scroll down abit to see the red and white one -
