    I think it pretty sweet looking... the only thing i'm kind not liking is the exhaust... put a nice undertail on that (like the Ducati's dual) and it would be sweeeeet!

    but why spend $40k on this when you can get a Duc for $20k??

    Why get a 911turbo when you can have a corvette for half?

    I would never buy a Porsche, everyone has a freaking Porches... they are like beamers now. Don't get me wrong they are an unbelievable piece of machinery but for the money of a 911 I’d have to buy a Ferrari hands down!!!

    Or go with a Corvette, and a nice truck, and a Ducati to put in the bed of the truck all for the same price!

    Not at all... It's a great analogy. All or more of the performance at half the price...

    Re: Bimota DB7 Photos..

    There was a shop out of NY that ran their Tesi3rd around NJ motor sports park during the Desmo day there, I got some photos of it on the track, its pretty cool to watch. I talked to the owner and he was telling me He's been talking to/working with Bimota on releasing a non-street race only version of the DB7 for less then the reg bike costs.

    I like pete's imaginary Bimoto even more.

    That thing is sick. But I bet a skilled hand could be just as fast with a fireblade or something. 40K is a LOOOOOT of pocket change and PB&J lunches

    I think this bike being more expensive than a 1098 is more of a Ferrari versus Porsche. The Porsche is like a Ducati, expensive but perhaps more utilitarian than the Ferrari.

    I bought an MV Agusta. Could have had a GSXR for way less and gotten the same performence.....
