Where you lucky enough to get over there? Worth the agg? I do like the current Bimota range but I wish they'd carried the Santa Monica through another evolution. It was just starting to get usable.

the Bimota seat units look pretty similar to the 1098

Yes mate,well worth the trip.The Milan show is HUGE and takes place in a beautiful newish building.(Makes the NEC look a bit shabby)6 Halls in three massive pavillions,also an outside purpose built MX/Supermoto track.We were there all day and did'nt see it all.I think to see it all would take around three days.
As for the Bimota's,they looked absolutely lovely.Zard are making some after market systems for them and they look awesome.Shame we did'nt get to hear them!

I have always loved MV's, especially the F4, its absolutely awesome.
IMHO I think its a very close call between the F4 and 1098.
I feel that the headlights on the 1098 look better than the one on the F4.

know what you mean about needing time to check it all out Keefy, I spent 4 days at the old Cologne show and on the last day found a complete hall I'd never been in!!

Did you see Borille or Carbon Dream stands ? I'd have liked to see what they were showing.
