If it did, it would actually help- the flatter car tire lifts the rear up a bit as it leans over.

On the negative side, it makes it a lot harder to lean it over when the rear tire is substantially wider than the front (if the bike isn't designed for leaning over with a fat rear tire as delivered).

Indeed-- I'd like to take it apart and see what makes it tick...

I read a lot about that Bimota when it came out and met a fellow who had one.

It was a very expensive and complicated answer to a question that (virtually) nobody asked, and even fewer people cared about the answer that Bimota came up with.

I'd still kill a man to have one in the garage, preferably not a man I liked.

It certainly is a marvel to look at because of the precision machining on the thing, much nicer to admire as an art object than a CX500 Turbo or a CBX which were also overly complex attempts to answer a question that no one asked.

I'd want those too!
Simple or complex I love mechanical things. Probably why the inside of my garage looks like a junkyard,.

I like the ones with the aluminum swingarms vs the tubular. I've ridden a Yamaha GTS 1000, call it a poor man's Tesi. It was kind of interesting.

Was actually about trying to separate suspension actions from steering.

All Bimotas were on the expensive side. Kind of a statement more than just a bike.

That's because he doesn't hang off.

It makes perfect sense being a funny looking street bike.

( I have one, so I'm allowed to call it funny looking. )

Yes, you are correct. But since when has that stopped anyone from commenting in this thread?
