Re: Prettiest Bike and Car Ever Made
If we're talking about bikes we've seen in the flesh, (and in this case only once), for me it has to be this:Skub wrote: Fri Jan 29, 2021 7:46 pm I have no dog in the car fight,may as well ask me what the prettiest fridge is.

I saw one at an independent Honda specialist about 25 years ago when I was buying a hugger for my VFR750 and, from its titanium coated screen to the tips of its underseat exhausts, (which apparently inspired Tamburini's 916 pipe design), it was stunning!
Quite underwhelming on the road apparently, but to look at...
Probably appears a bit bulky to modern eyes but it was cutting edge at the time.

Oh I've seen them all thanks. I much prefer the original Tamburini design colour scheme.Bigyin wrote: Fri Jan 29, 2021 9:04 pm Just for DEADPOOL..... this is the one i couldnt find earlier
At a pinch I'd take the Oro in red gold but original is best for me.
They're all good though and close up the quality really stands out for every last nut, bolt and bracket. The thing is simply gorgeous.

Re: Prettiest Bike and Car Ever Made
Its a 'lightweight e type' yeah...the changes to the (already gorgeous) shape are actually supposed to make it more aerodynamic, the knock on effect on looks is accidental.Bigyin wrote: Fri Jan 29, 2021 11:16 pm

'Lightweight' cause it has aluminium bodywork. Jaguar made a few in the 60s then one more (IIRC) much more recently.
