If they are still around in ten years they might sell one to someone other than a collector. |

I always wanted a Bimota. Well beyond my means. This is just the latest incarnation of the Tesi. I see the origami look is in in Italy now. I wanted the Suzuki 1100 powered one, back in the day, My engine in a very clean & good handling chassis. Bimota's are one reason I bought a Buell. Erik Buell took a production engine, & made a fine Bike with it. By the time I bought mine, the Engine wasn't even close to old Sportster performance. Saw a hop up in Hot Rod Bikes where a new Sporty had 46 hp new. The bought the package from Aaron, & got 90+. 46 hp? what is my old '01 M2 getting? 70+? Buell's rock. |

I agree with Smoke-my first thought was "Transformers- robots in disguise" If I seen in person, I think I would sit and wait to see if it would stand up or something. |

There are alot of places 1 bolt can cause a catastrophe. That bike has 3 or 4 in the steering alone. They may work great but I'd want BIG, WAY more than necessary, welded, red locktite, and safetywired on that to feel comfortable.![](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/clipart/biggriney.gif) |

Can you imagine how challenging it would be to maintain such a machine? Not for me. When I spend money on a bike my primary intent is to ride it, not work on it. |

From reports I've read, it's an exceptionally stable bike...with the downfall being some play due to the complicated steering linkages. At least they've finally put the exhaust in the right place. |
