Aren't you meant to tick that little box if your post contains pornography?

That's a powerful twin

If you think that's sexy, check out the new '07 Bimota DB5R: (DB5 - always reminds me of James Bond's Astin Martin from Dr No.)

why does it look like the front forks are raised more than they should be?

Looks like a few of the 2007 models will be wearing an '80's look to them!

Nothing. It looks fine just as it is.

So how come your 80's bike doesn't have an 80's look to it? :spudwhat:

One of the many previous owners...

I do like the '07 VFR look! A shame there are rumours about the VFR800 being discontinued...

The front is excellent!

I love the Italian flag colours trend. I want this, Husqvarna SM450RR. Ready to race out of the crate

No no no! Yuck! Red dammit! That body work looks so damn good in red!! Having said that, I'd wager it looks much better in the flesh. That S4R (or whatever) Monster looks like crap in the photos... too busy... but damn yummy in the flesh (eye doesn't even see the hoses!).
