I’ll probably change my mind tomorrow, but I’m going to nearly agree with carrie, I say its a Ducati 999R (just cos I know its bigger).
The original styling model of the Benelli Tornado (with 3 square stacked headlights) was perfect.
The new KTM superbike also looks good, but it is still a styling model.
Oh yes, the V-max. I loved it, but then I love anything that is fun, different or interesting.
It was so quick in a straight line, and not half as bad as I thought round the bends, though it grounded out qucker than the TT600 I was chasing around (and catching!). At about 130-140 (it is impossible to read the speedo let alone the tiny tacho) down the 2 mile straight I had to cling on for dear life. I’ve never felt such wind blast!
Oh and it seemed to do about 2 laps per tank of fuel!
I work in Hinckley, I’m a design engineer, and I occasionally ride bikes at work. Have to be vey careful what I say though, hope y’all understand.
Currently Blackburn, Lancs, although I believe there are plans to relocate to Liverpool (??). Good luck to them fighting the might of Japan, however I think they have sold some of their soul switching to Suzuki motors. I know Rotax are Austrian, but at least they were 100% European!
Had an afternoon at Bruntingthorpe with work, first time on a track, had only really ridden as fast as my Kwak GPZ500S would let me except for a couple of go’s on my girlfriend’s dad’s BMW K100RS. Then I got the chance to run some propper bikes. V-max, Daytona then a ZX9R. Red line in top all the way down the 2 mile straight. Fantastic.
