I was out for a walk today and came across this Bimota Tesi30. Innovative suspension and custom carbon parts make this bike shine, along with the gold rims.

I couldn't help stopping and taking a few pics:

Bimota is well known for their innovative work. However, with that tissue paper thin seat, after 35 miles or so my gluteus maximus would be screaming louder than that exhaust system! :whoopin:

Very cool. The steering system on that thing is weird
The wheel is attached straight to the frame instead of the handlebars, which improves handling and makes it hold the road better.
Its only problem is that it costs about thirty thousand euro, yet has a rather underwhelming engine.

Another bike that uses a similar design is the Vyrus, which is even more expensive but has a rather more powerful engine (even in the weaker version), and it doesn't leave you wondering which part is the nose. :p

I had a '93 Yamaha GTS1000 with a swingarm front end, though the GTS was single-sided. There is much less dive upon braking, and less mid-corner reaction to bumps. Still not a front end I'd want at the track.

That is one marvel to look at for sure.
