For model distinction: the base model may be referred to as Diavel-powered Biomota; whereas the supercharged version would be correctly correctly referred to as the, Monster-Powered Bimota.

“Britten V1000 is extremely pretty” - Proof that there really is someone for everyone.

Makes sense; but would counter with: Applying the Hossack suspension means beating a bike with the ugly-stick... Even BMW has quietly walked away from Telelever. However, whereas BMW appears to be trying to grow out of its know-it-all consumer-base; Bimota knows its reason for being, is being exotic.

I don’t like it that you care. (not that you should care what I think)

One of the ‘suggested’ stories linked underneath this article should be the “Why we can’t have nice things” article as a reminder to not hold your breath for 2017.

Cruiser test: Do you balance on your feet or your ass?

don’t worry folks, neither one of those things will ever happen to you

Sorry, I can’t get excited about the idea of a production bike from a company that doesn’t have a dealership network.

American SuperDuke? Yes, please.

The Speed/Street Triple design team should fall on their swords.

This is for Yamaha’s marketing department:

“If you ever find yourself feeling pretty good about yourself and your riding abilities, this guy is more than happy to remind you just have far you have to go.” ... Like there’s not enough of that going around already.

“I waited a long time for the 1050 to get redesinged, ended up buying a Super Duke R” (just imagine how pissed you would have been if you actually waited on this?)

And it reduces the road-rage of people who believe that two headlights on equals high-beams on.

I was hoping for a ‘MV Agusta for the masses’ design... Looks like 2016 will see me switching brands for KTM.

Ronin-47 junkie since I saw it on Bike-EXIF. Having already seen the track testing and promo videos (so I get how the front end’s motion could be disconcerting) plus the Pike’s Peak race footage, I opened this article seeking a quick GoPro fix to prop up my retirement fund friendly delusion of existing vicariously...…

After trying a number of different brands, my vote is solidly for uglyBROS Motorpool pants. My only gripe would be that late in the second 12-hour day I start to feel the stock armor compressing on my knees (and that’s on an upright Tiger800). I’ve tried Icon’s D3o but these replacements seem too narrow, so I may try…

“The ladies pictured are all friends of mine...” You just gotta rub it in, don’t cha?

Trying to keep the naysayers happy by holding the GT as accountable as you would a new UJM seems like an unnecessarily rude exercise. I am probably not alone is seeing only real comparison to the Enfield being the Ural; and like Ural’s WW2 era BMW clones, only the completely uninformed would not know what they are…

The charity is thinking this is different than riding to a bar in a leather vest and a bandana for a helmet.
