Re: New Bimota
Wow. That looks like Bimota pulled out all the shit bike designs they had lying about and then asked the designer to combine them all on one bike.

Re: New Bimota
Yup, absolutely minging and hit every branch on the way down.
Just doesnt flow in any way at all and the front end looks like they started a design then someone remembered all they had in the parts bin were old round headlights from the 70's so cut a hole to fit

Re: New Bimota
I think the underseat radiator has compromised the whole thing.
To get the air flow to it they've had to build in massive ducts that just fuck the whole thing up.

Re: New Bimota
They'd be OK is there was some payoff' elsewhere you'd expect some other aspect of the bike to be slimmer and sexier if you don't need to fit the radiator in it's 'usual' place. That doesn't seem to be the case here.
