I'm assuming that's sarcasm? If not, you're a retard.

The M16 has the Desmo engine in it and is considerably lighter. The Leggera 1200 Special (not shown on the site but in the sept 2010 Cycle world) is only 295 lbs with 110hp and 85 lb-ft of torque. Do the math on those lb/wt numbers.

And for the bimota DB7 (and the new DB8, it's lighter than the stock Ducati donor bike, with maybe a touch more performance, and they're not slouches to begine with.

Besides that, they're beautiful, exotic, and extremely well-built from the very best materials. Ti is the shiznit.

Definately pricey, but far better than one of those ass-clown OCC-type "choppers" for the same money.

Ah, I thought so. :) I mean, with the light weight of those things, even something with a Honda engine would rawk!

I'd LOVE to take a BMW motor, and build a Ti frame around it like that. A company called Moots in Steamboat welds up bicycles out of Ti, I wonder....... :)
