The MV Agusta...which has so many styling cues from the 916 that it might as well be one. Tamburini has come up with one design (albeit a fabulous one) and just seems to be recycling it for all it's worth. That doesn't seem to me what good design is all about...a bit of a one trick pony IMHO.
Terreblanche has done the 999, the Multistrada, the SSIE and the Supermono (maybe other stuff as well) which are all entirely different types of bike, designed for entirely different purposes. I really like the 999, always have. The Multistrada is cool too...amazing bike on the road and I love the way it just dares to be different. The Supermono is just utterly gorgeous and the SSIE takes a lot of it's styling from that. What makes Terreblanche cool is that his designs are very individualistic and very brave, whether you love them or hate them, there is nothing else like them on the road. |
Quality not quantity, Jools
By your logic, if I designed a bike to look like a turd (Terblanche already has
) that would make me brave?
