Bimota DB5
 

Here's the new Bimota DB5.It uses the 'fahsand DS lump.I'm not sure about the looks.Some components look a bit Benelli Tre-ish,while the fairing sides seem to be have designed for another bike!

Bit of a disappointment after the DB4. Seems to be going the way of Benelli/MV/Mondial/Kwak with this over-angular shaping.

However, I'm sure it weigh in at about 150kg dry and punt out an extra 15hp over the top of a 900, so should be a laugh on track (unless it's turn 1 at Rocky...).

:puzzled:And I thought your Multistuka was confused:lol::lol::lol: Bring back square headlamps:lol:that`s wot I reckon hey Ali!

Doesn't do it for me...As well as being an amalgamation of bits from various other bikes, as ali says, I'm sure that there's a bit of lego in there as well..!

No doubt it will fly and handle, but I'd expected something a bit classier.

Very odd looking machine, and loads of other bikes thrown in for good measure. Quirky sums it up i think!

Couldn't have put it better. Angling the cans just makes it look like the designer's trying too hard. Looks kinda like a wasp from the front.

If someone made a nice aftermarket set of cans for it, you painted the whole thing gloss black, changed that clutch cover for a cyclecat black anodised version, gave the lump to Neil at Sigma for a 1080 kit, removed the mirrors, and stuck slicks on it you'd have a wicked track tool. And a £20k hole in you finances. :(

Or you could pick a low-sided 749/8R for half that, got to be some around somewhere...;)

That is just urrggglly ! :rolleye: However well it might handle, I'd have to park it a couple of streets away and walk rather than be seen with it. :alien:

Sorry Guys, its different and I like it !!!

F

Not my cupa tea.... looks like a bit of mismatch....but i do like that seatunit....might be one of those bikes that could grow on you.... infact the more i look the more i like :D

Something very strange, odd, something missing, can`t quite put my finger in the mish mash of parts!!!:(

Actually reminds me of this...Derbi GPR 50

I like it;)
