    I like that brand of bike, they make some really unique designs. I don't imagine that they would be an inexpensive bike to own, though, so I'll stick to Japanese motorcycles for now.

    Have you ever seen this one?

    Yeah, I saw that one before, online. Kinda futuristic for me. I have seen this one in person at the Long Beach bike show.

    There is a nice write up on the DB7 and the 3D in the new Cycle World. A mere $38,000 and the DB7 is yours. Really not bad considering it has the 1099 Testastretta motor in a in a 379 (claimed dry weight) frame. It looks kind of retro to me but I wouldn't turn one down if you gave it to me.

    I like Bimota machines, however I'm no Richard Branson or Bill Gates, so I'll never be able to afford one of the beautiful bikes that they make. The Tesi is quite the interesting engineering concept to me, different and elegant, where some companies just go different but muck it up in the process. I would like to know where they put the fuel tqnk on the DB-7, under the seat perhaps? There doesn't look to be alot of room where the airbox resides to include a tank.

    Yeah, love the Bimota bikes. The SB8R is powered by a TL1000R mill...which I'm partial to since I own one (a TL that is).

    Love the Italians

    I've always admired Bimota - started with the DB1 back in the mid eighties. The bikes have always had a reputation of exceptional handling and build quality.:biggrin:
