...I had a couple of 4 cyl BMW's back in the day. Big cumbersome tourers they were but very capable when you wanted them to pick their feet up
...With modern technology and Bimota flair, they could very well be a winner....depending on price
...Just as long as they don't try and make them 4 cyl 2 smoke

Obviously Bimota agreed with Oily and I and selected a crafted in line 4 with German engineering and electronics package which will project the Bimota brand beyond the ducatisti blindfolds. Can I get the coat next?

The link doesn't work properly, you have to copy and paste it to get the English translation.

Then scrole down the left side navi to November 2012

Then click on 2013 bimota model (4th item)

below the DB11 and DB12- carbon Tesi frame and swingarms ! for a 4 cylinder maybe?

that's more like it.

I was loathing the styling on the new DB9/10/11/12 and the BB2 - just when I have lost all hope and think that Bimota has lost the plot (again), this new HCS frame shows up and all is well again!!

How come absolutely none of the other sites have shown this?!

The new styling direction still stinks though. Anyone know who is the designer behind the new bikes?

The Vyrus has the engine plates the other way up
