Evilchicken thanks for additional photos, since they reviled BB3 only second day of the fair. I love the finish and quality of rear swing arm and al frame. I'm not convinced about the rest of the bike. Too rational perhaps for Bimota.

It looks better in the flesh than in the pictures, which is a rare thing.

Love the HB1! Also liking the look of the Tesi, but why couldn't they hide that bloody horn somewhere 
Not sure about the BB3... looks rather plain to me

don't like the new exhaust on the Tesi and the "blanks" on the tailpiece.
Would sooner buy a BMW S1000 than the BB3 - the S1000 looks better, which shouldn't happen.
Whats the point of the DBx ?
Dear oh dear..............

I like the BB3, it looks sleeker than the BMW, whether it would be as good as is a mute point. Either way the HP4 is probably better with it's reactive suspension. In a lot of ways the recent DBs look more like the BMW with the top fairing and angular look but I'm not a fan of that.
Personally I think Bimota's future would be in exploiting it's past and producing a frame using a big aircooled engine like the FJR1300 or CB1100 Cafe / Urban bike

I agree whole heartedly. A frame kit for the Bandit 1200 / GSX1400 motor would be a big hit - depending on price !

The reason that I bought my DB5R is that it took me back to the origins of the breed. Tubular frame, air cooled engine, and I went with it despite the angular styling that seems to be so in vogue these days.
Oh how I would love an HB1!
