It’s amazing that a company that has brought us some of the worlds most beautiful motorcycles Could’ve made something so damn ugly.
Bike is gorgeous. Who cares about exhaust? First thing that gets changed. I can even overlook the silly swingarm. Happy when they followed through and produced this model.
What kind of reliable power were people getting out of the K5 GSXR1000 motor? I think the K5 is the base for the engine in the new Katana. Front suspension off of a newer 1000, some Yosh go fast parts, throw some parts in the trash and replaced by aftermarket. Total freakin' street monster that'd eat monkeys and shit baboons. George, you have to admit, no matter how great your hayabusa is, it pegs the Fugly meter.
In defense of that MV, they wisely revised/cancelled that color scheme and replaced it with this: The series Oro tickles something within me though: Glad someone posted this. The Mantra is hilarious. I'm trying to (slowly) collect Bimotas and have a bunch of notifications set up any time someone lists a Bimota for sale, and I'm always bummed when I get an email notification only for it to be a Mantra, ha.
Hello, My name is Dan, and I had a Katana too. And I liked it. The baboon ass tail light WAS hideous though..... I like the MV too. I have weird tastes.....
