That does look tasty. But can't help think that this is gonna be a tester for the BMW 1000r naked.......
The quality of engineering on any Bimota is a joy to look at. Would get almost as much joy cleaning something like this as riding it.
I love Bimota naked bikes amazing, my wallet however does not.
Very nice.
If BMW's new naked S1000RR is styled like this proposal it'll sell well. If it follows Suzuki's B-King styling theme it'll be a sales failure. I was cleaning, detailing, and waxing my '07 Bimota DB6 Delirio DS1000 yesterday. Just examining the level of detail and fit and finish is very satisfying. The air cooled Ducati 2 valve motor isn't a killer compared to many current powerplants but it's adequate for scratching mountain roads.

Looks interesting but a couple of observations:

The wheels are rediculous. Added weight and less strength than a straight spoke design (very un-Bimota like).

No way you can squeeze the exhaust pipe in that area without huge compromises.
