[Hitcher]

There aren't many 18-year-olds that look much better than this...

Yes it was in the pits on a trailer I think it belonged to the guy racing the Benelli Sei

[dangerous]

Ohhh, a very nice example of a Bimota the final Duke DB4 was the nicest the Duke powered Mantra was......... well undecrible.
Attached is a couple of photos of a mates BB1, what a wicked wee bike to ride (fuel tank in the belly pan) My favorite would have to be the SB8R, jap motor in a Iti rolling frame, IMO it dosent get much better than that.

[Eddieb]

That Guzzi of yours isn't half bad either.

Doesn't really do it for me with the bent banana look of the panels.

[Storm]

Have to agree with merv- the bent look isnt so cool :shit:

Hows about the later DB the DB4 (first pic) and the Mantra :sick: and SB6 :eek: ohh... the SB8R :love2:

This DB1RS was racing in 1987 Castrol 6 hour.

[merv]

The others don't look so bad, but I always can't help but think of Looney Tunes or Toon Town when I see the Mantra.

db4 doesn't do anything for me.
Batman (and only Batman) would love the mantra.
SB6 and SB8R are sex on wheels !!

Powered by a Ducati 992cc Dual Spark V-Twin (the air-cooled unit used in Ducati's Multistrada, Monster 1000 and 1000 SS), the DB5's frame uses a combination of a tubular chromoly trellis structure and CNC machined aluminum plates, and the swingarm is also a tubular trellis structure. Although no official weight figures have been released, the DB5 is expected to be one of the lightest 1000cc V-Twins ever produced

Is it me or does it look like that 18 year old has a huge beer gut. :cool2:

[Posh Tourer :P]

Dunno about the rest of it gav, but them exhausts look mighty nice. And not in the way other threads have suggested...

[kneescraper]

I also think it looks strange, was it very fast in the races?? or was it more of a bike that people admire for the looks or for that matter lack of looks??

[Blakamin]

I reckon you could stab yerself on them fuckin fuel tank sides

[kneescraper]

I'm with Blakamin on this one, sharp edges but all in all if I had the dosh why not! :banana: :rockon:
