Default If you like exotica...

Here are a few pictures I've snapped over the weekend.
Bimota Delirio... as usual with Bimotas I fail to see where the appeal lies but if it's your cup of tea here you go.





And here's a very trick Hayabusa: RAM single side swingarm, BST wheels, Febur radiator, Ohlins WSBK (not the standard R&T) fork, one off carbon fiber bodywork... owner said the bike is "always work in progress": he just replaced the previous 4-in-2 exhaust for the one-off Ixil you see in the pictures.

Man, nice machinery. First Hayabusa that I have seen done respectfully(to me at least)that wasn't slammed. Bimota is gorgeous, and that SP2 is to drool over!! You have some friends with very respectable rides there!

Is that bodywork on the RC51 from a guy here? I seem to remember an RC member that had the same paint job and sold the bodywork. I also remember a very pretty blond (worked in his office IIRC) that posed in a bikini with it.

The bodywork was made and painted locally so I don't think it was the same as saw on this forum.
On a different note it is curious to note that once my mate spread the word I had Durbahn airscoops fitted everyone swarmed around my bike to have a look at them... perhaps they got fed up with all that carbon fiber!

That SP is very nice. I'll pass on the rest of the bikes as they aren't my cup of tea.

Not a fan of the angular styling trend of the latest Bimotas ; look like Suzukis ! I like their old , more rounded bodywork . The SP is purdy .

I like all of them except that front end of the Hayabusa!
