    Let me double check it might not be so silly. and not sure if its a monster 1100 in the 2D or the 3D, one has an 851 I believe, maybe that was the superlight?? Not that that makes it difficult but the bike basically has to come all a part, probably not unlike pulling the engine from a Pannigale, where the engine is the frame.

    Too hard to choose just one but the one glaring miss:

    FZR750RR OW01 - In its day, the closest thing to a 500 GP bike chassis you could acquire.

    The only bike I really want right now is a KTM RC8R race spec. That probably won't happen for a while.

    I don't know if the one I rode last week was an R version or not but it was fully worked. 184hp, 104ft/lbs and 380lbs, HOLY SHIT you wanna talk about a fast bike.

    Those bikes have monster 900 motors in them. 7K valve check intervals, but they are bullet proof.

    I'll add a MOTUS to the list, especially if they could be persuaded to make a naked bike version.

    It's amazing how much misinformation there is out there.

    The motors do vary by model 1D vs 2D (1000 DS) vs 3D (1100), but I was told by the current owner of 6 Bimota (one mono, one Yamaha, 2 Tesi and a couple others) that the Tesi requires pulling the motor to do valves/belts, and the shortest part of the whole job is working on the engine vs getting the bike apart. He might have a clue about them.
