    I want to like it but it's a little to much of a Benelli/999/RSVR mix for me to instantly love it.

    I do like the swingarm though.

    Makes the 999/749 look like an amateurish slab of strawberry cheescake.

    Wkid, thanks very much for posting the pics of the latest models. It's a real treat.

    Looks a tad bare in parts, but I'd gladly receive one into my home!

    Angry auto-meter tach?

    is it me - or is that an auto-meter telltale racecar tach?
    that's one damn BIG rev-counter dude.
    the boy racers have stained those forever for me.

    Well, he only "stole" err reposted the pics I posted, in fact 7 minutes later if you check my post (under Hot 18 year old) :sneaky2:
    Anyway heres a little bit of info on the DB5
    " 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"
    It looks too tall and reminds me of a Multistrada.

    Put your coke bottle glasses back on, look again, and then hush your mouth! Nothing looks as hideous as a Multistrada. In fact the HD Night Train is a better looking bike than a Multistrada.

    Yup...

    I'm thinking that falls into the "IF money was no object" categories.... I'd have one for sure!

    Looks nice but could do without that plate mount and I have to agree with badcat on that Tach. It's just too big for a bike, doesn't even look good in a car.

    What he said re the tach, rest llooks ok (in my not-so-expert opinion)

    Nice bike but still looks well, uuummmmm, yea
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods
