1997 748/853,
2001 MV F4

To me, these are my holy grail pieces for motorcycles. Now I want a super motard, maybe a KTM Super DUke?

So you're a Massimo Tamburini fan ... I can relate to that. I have the same 748 but without the big bore kit and in red. :D

Yep, big Tamburini fan. I think he is one of the design masters for motorcycles.

First the 916, then the F4. Very similar styling for the 2 motorcycles, and IMHO, the 748/916/996/998 is a timeless design. The undertail exhaust was the norm for this range back in the 90's, and onlynow are the Japanese bikes starting to catch onto this design.

I am not a big fan of the Treblanch (sp?), the Super Mono was nice, but the current 749/999, is growing on me, but I initially hated it.

As for the Desmosedici, awesome motor, so-so styling.

I was a Fogarty fan from 94 onwards, which was helped by the fact he had the most amazing-looking machine on the planet. It was very, very easy to be a Foggy fan back then, specially if you were british. :D

I'd kill myself on a motorcycle. I'm a car guy. There's just something about a lot of metal surrounding you.
