    Sex...

    Anyone know if Bimota had "bare CF finish" option on all their bikes? I thought they only had it available for Tesi 3D...


    Oh man, Bimota really knows design!!

    Very cool, L.C.! I've been toying with that idea for years. My son has a Harley, but I've never taken the plunge myself.

    Anyway, I was talking with your dad about motorcycles at the Spring Thaw, because there will be a vintage motorcycle show at Butler's Orchard coming up soon. Maybe I'll get a few pictures of your bike in the show?

    No, they did not. Bimota went under a few years back after the development of the V-Due. It is under different ownership these days and the CF bikes have become more popular, but the company has been around a long time and most of the older Bimota's did not offer any CF options.

    I'm digging that Nightster. I'm really into the classic Nortons and BSA's yet I can find something a like about all bikes.

    Hard to choose between these for me:

    Ducati 888 SP4 or SPS- the bikes that first got me into Ducati

    Ducati 916 SP- the first Ducati I bought, love at first sight in 1994.

    Ducati Desmosedici- The ultimate

    Ducati Supermono- the start of the modern era of Ducati design and a timeless masterpiece.

    love the superbikes, but for tooling around town they're kinda like using a sledgehammer to drive in a tack.
    For runs down to the beach, out to dinner, or ~8 miles on B-roads to work on sunny days I chose a Sachs Madass instead of a scooter. Bigger tires, disc brakes, sturdy, frame mounted motor, easily takes 2 people, etc. Was 49cc, now 88cc so almost 50mph. No luggage space but a backpack takes care of 99% of what we use it for.
    I like the minimalistic looks. If it isn't functional, it isn't there.

    Really? I thought they looked like they had carbon cans. My 07 stock exhaust has a single can with triple outlets.
