Tidy price....but a tidy bike...and these are quite reverred in some quarters....particularly in GErmany...as a practical sports tourer....as they do handle well and are comfy and practical...which is not true of most bimotas

And heres another...the MkII version in the rarer red colour...in the Netherlands....rear mudguard set up is different, Number plate hangs off bodywork as opposed to an extension to the end of the rear hugger and Nose cone around headlight different also

And Another...Yellow..Mark I....at a dealers, in GErmany this time....dont be expecting to find a "cheap" mantra...if its ANY consolation...all 3 I have posted are priced LOWER than when they were new....and thats not even taking inflation into account...they have a cult following thus attract classic prices...more so than say a Db4 that shares many parts
