TAMBURINI!!!!!!!

[Sparky Bills]

Take a look at this amazing piece of machinery!
Anyone got a spare $85,000 I could borrow??
Carbon, Titanium, Magnesium...
The list goes on!

STUNNING!!!

Words dont describe how it really looks.
It came with a real nice cover and was in an air tight sealed bag to stop any shite touching it!
Good on the Italians!!

[Blakamin]

and photos dont do it justice either!!!!

Words dont describe how it really looks.I can certainly appreciate its exquisite workmanship, but I would rather own a new Gixxer thou, new 05 Fireblade, R1, and ZX-10 for the same money - no question!

Don't mean to detract from the focal point of the wonderful Agusta. :Punk:

[Waylander]

Hmm is that suposed to be orange or is it really red? If It's red then damn that's sexy!

[Marknz]

i just gotta go get a box of tissues

:clap:

To late for tissues man, someone help me with this mess I made :(

It's an awesome bike, but jeez you're a worry :no: :p

So when are you gonna get the F4 SPR in?

Even the brochure hard copy is impressive - die cut gatefold thing in gold and red.

But they are all the same bike! Real world there isn't enough difference to make a difference - really just a matter of taste and what brand you prefer.

you'd be better served by an adventure bike, a classic, a dual sport or a cruiser with just one of those crotch rockets you've listed.

[oldfart]

Had a mate once who one of them doocartee spaghetti thingies, front mag exploded, (& know it had never been damaged by hitting anything) while he was riding, firing him & his misssus into a car after which it exploded. All very dramatic. Thought to myself, I'll stick to my boring/plastic/souless/cheap an nastie jap crap. Funny how the ol jap crap doesn't explode/disintegrate/cost$85k etc & actually go faster/stop quicker/handle better etc. But please, don't let my foolish reality intrude in your little euro/yank fantasies

[DingDong]

anyone got change for a $90,000 dollar note?

[FROSTY]

ok bills--Ill have two--but one must be yellow--ok ?

If money wasn't an issue i'd have one :)

Very very nice! Would want to be for that price though.

[Waylander]

Come on guys don't start this in another thread.

[Slingshot]

OOOOOOO....That's my dream bike.

Is it available for a test ride on Saturday?


I'm might just pop in and have a dribble.

[Mooch]

Has it been pre-sold ?

[LB]

;

What a beauty. Saw it in the flesh last night.

There's two of them coming to NZ. This is the first one and it's pre-sold. Being shipped to its new (lucky!!) owner on Friday.

The second one I understand will be here in a few days and it's pre-sold too.

You get a personalised little gold plate with the bike number (only 300 made) and your name engraved on it. It's a kind of oval shape that fits into an indentation on the steering head.

Those in Wellington who haven't seen this one will get a chance to see the second one, as it will be domiciled here.
;

[Mooch]

Did Paddington buy one of these by any chance ?

[Pwalo]

It looks stunning but I just couldn't bring myself to commute on it, and my bike polishing fetish would become uncontrollable.

It's a bit like a Ferrari, I'd love to have a go on one, but wouldn't want to own it.

[vifferman]

I was going to order two, until I saw the Nissin calipers. I want brakes that say "Brembo", thanx, even if these Nissins are top kit.

Does it come in blue? Italian red is so 80s. :whistle:

[Juan]

Love it.... Bike mag in the UK managed to crash MR Tamburini's own bike during a test this month...... Dickheads :nono:

[Sparky Bills]

Tiss a very nice bike!
As far as comuting on it...
well i think i could lower my standards to it. :devil2:

Yes, If anyone is near MotoMart before Friday, COME IN!!!
You must see this bike! :Punk:

(502 Hutt Rd

Test rides start once ive run it in :whistle:

Oh, and Frosty..
Your a sick man but i think we could do on in yellow.
But you should be ashamed of yourself.

I have a new 'Blade you can have. Because it's you we'll say $80,000. :devil2:

Don't you know that it's not what it does, it's the bragging rights that matter?
Although how a Japper with radial calipers has more than an $85,000 MV beats me.

[Sparky Bills]

SB how many we getting over here? is that rumor true about the joker wanting to race one over here??


They have been asking and asking and asking (even begging) me to race it for them :Punk:

No really.
Are you nuts!?

[loosebruce]

I dont know it's cool sort of, my way of thinking would be to buy a brand new GSXR1000K5 and then spend the other $60K on trick bits and i'm quite sure that it would leave the MV in it's wake, (which a standard one would proberly do anyway) and i'm sure a $85,000 GSXR could be just as rare and cool as the Tamburni whatever it is thingee.
Anyway it should have a better colour scheme and the wheels look shit, reckon the F4 Senna is a way better looking bike. Not worth the money IMO.

[loosebruce]

Love it.... Bike mag in the UK managed to crash MR Tamburini's own bike during a test this month...... Dickheads :nono:

[jimbo600]

What a heap of crap. A MV with a nice paint job for 85 large. Wake up!

I'll respray the gixxer 600 and you can buy for a mere $22,900 (same price as a K5 1000)

Do you really think a rider with a Tamburini is even going to bother wanting to race you on your gixxer.

Having known a few Ferrari owners (to use them as an analogy) I'd say no.

Picture you're in your Ferrari at the lights and some sad boy racer pulls up in his supd evo. Revs his engine. What do you do? If you're these guys you look them and and their car up and down and laugh as you watch them roar into the distance. Why? Because they know as you know exactly what you're car is and is capable of and you've got nothing to prove.

[Big Dave]

and i'm sure a $85,000 GSXR could be just cool as the Tamburni

YA RECKON! :rofl:

[Zed]

Do you really think a rider with a Tamburini is even going to bother wanting to race you on your gixxer.Most definately not! The 85K Tamburini only comes out for show days and the odd short burst up and down the private airport runway!

I reckon you'd probably cream him on your TL Brucie! :Punk:

Sooooo what ya saying is that the Tammie will cream a GSXR1000 right, as they wont even bother racing me cause the bike is soooo much better than a gixxer, oookay then. My bet is that who ever could afford to buy the thing in the first place couldn't ride it for shit anyway and if they could they'd be far to scared to go hard on it at fear of scratching that shitte paint job, let alone the rest of the bike, and if they did beat me it's only cause they are a better rider than me, not because their bike is worth $70 odd thousand more than mine.
As someone stated the differance between all the litre fours is sweet fuck all and it would take a rider better than me to find what they are.

And in saying that Ferrari's aint all that i know more than a few "boyracers" that will feed the message in a big way to an over priced Italian cage quite easily, infact my flatmates "stock" twin turbo supra is on par with a 355, another guys GTR would most proberly give a Enzo a good hiding too.

I'd say it'd be more like the ferrari driver doesn't wanna race the Evo (or whatever) because he's too scared of getting the learn.

[Mooch]

I think some of you have missed the point (I'm about to get flamed) , Almost anyone can go out a by a mass produced GSXR , R1 , ZX , but everybody else has one. Same with Cages , Can't say I look at WRX's or EVO's / GTR's anymore , Ferrari's I do.
No radial capliers people say , who gives a flying toss, radial brakes are this years fashion. What we're looking at is a hand built work of art here in limited numbers.
Put it this way , if motomart put a CBR1000 on one side and a GSXR1000K5 on the other which bike would get the most attention , The ones with the slightly better performance or the Tammie , I know which one I'd be looking at.

You won't get flamed by me mate, I'm with you on this one.

Unless my current financial status improved extremely dramatically, I personally wouldn't own one, but I appreciate it for what it is. A beautiful piece of art.

I was about to write exactly that!
Im glad someone here has been able to see the big picture here.
This is a bike that we wouldnt see everyday (may never see one again).
It truely is an absolute piece of work :yes:

[sAsLEX]

thems are talking words son!

Enzo's are pretty trick, so is a drag or a bit of twisties this theoretical race is happening on?

[Coyote]

You're buying style and exculsiveness, not praticality and the very best in performance. It's a nice bike but if I had the money, I would spend it on something else. I've already got enough style as it is :p

Until about 270, then it's bye bye Supra (stupid name too).

You need to learn that it's not what a vehicle does, it's how it does it. And how it makes you feel.
That's why Ferraris are desired and why a Supra is just a fast Corolla.

It'll be the same with the MV.
Jap sportsbikes are like arseholes. Everyone has one.

Sparky...is it still in the show-room?

I would rather have one of these than a tricked japper, I couldn't give a toss if it wasn't as quick, cause it's only as quick as the rider, which in my case means that it's slow.
I'd get one because even people that ain't into bike would see that thing and think holy fuck!

Personally, I love the colour scheme and if I had a spare $85K, there would be one sitting in my garge.

Talking of dream bikes....anyone know if BMC is still going to make a road version of the Britten V1000?

[SPORK]

In my op-onion, the matt black SPR F4 is far better aesthetically. In fact, didn't Colemans have one at one stage? I think I remember seeing a pic of one of them on the back of a Coleman's ute on bikepics.com...

There's only a few arseholes that'll have them namely Corser, Kagayama, Malidn & co.

Sure ferrari's etc are pretty cool, but i live in a real world and a world where bang for buck is king, i just paid a knats over $13K for my K3 and it'll prolly do just as good a job as the Tammie, no way could i justify $85K, sure it's exculsive and will prolly turn most peoples heads, but it dosen't do anything for me at all to be honest, i'd rather take the MV Senna based on looks, but then a stock GSXR750 would give that a run as well, and i know which bike i'd rather be riding when i chuck it down the road or some clown in a cage takes me out. Even if i had the money i wouldn't buy it, there is no logical reason to buy one for me, with the way i ride and what I want from a bike, i'd be too scared of biffing it if i owned one.

Whoever does buy the thing, congrats to em, it's a one off special bike and chances are whoever does buy it will trailer it to shows and never ride the thing, and it'll prolly be worth a shitload more in years to come. But i'd still take the Rizla Rep WT was talking about cause i will always take performance over "style" (Rilza Rep looks shithot IMO) anyday. But thats just me and my opinion.............

FYI Rizla make cigi papers.

The MV's a great looking bike. The only thing with these type of bikes is that you cann't really get one and then change anything. Bikes are a work in progress, I'd get one and then want to change things on it. Far rather have the stock MV and spend 40K changing it to my own specs.

Good on the buyers though, hope they enjoy there purchase - be pretty cool to see one of those on the road.

And enough with the haters already.
