A new Italian builder...

Post by SteveD »

Smaller bore, road, scrambler, commute with some interesting bits and pieces. Ducati supply bits to them.

Okay, the Multiuso's are butt-ugly, but the silver bike is absolutely gorgeous.

Interesting bikes, some cool stuff. On that first bike the frame tubes curveing around like that
is not really sound engineering in my opinion. Seems like a styling exersize with not much thought
about stiffness. Pictures of the bare frame would be interesting.

The Borile looks wonderful. We can't see if the curved tubes are cross braced but it's a very light bike.

Is that an expensive Cuban cigar box used for a sump?

Sump guard and collector box by the look of it. I can't see a muffler either so maybe that's it?

Style over function usually sucks but in this case it's very nice indeed ! The silver one actually looks like a motorcycle should ! :D

That tube appears to be bolted on near the headstock, so it's not a primary part of the frame.
