[QUOTE="Tom Gaynor, post: 7566, member: 4034"] [b]Britten[/b] I saw one in Milano at Giovanni Cabassi's MAD (Moto[rcycle], Arte, Design) exhibition. It had forks very similiar to Girdraulics, but in hollow carbon fibre. This was almost the least of its marvels. It was stunning. But, apart from Casey Stoner and Valentino Rossi (and in our dreams, all of us), who could exploit its capabilities? And who could afford to buy one? The exhibition was full of wonderful design concepts made into real, live, running motorcycles (mainly, but not exclusively, Italian), but as you suggest, few that actually made it into successful mass production. Anyone fancy a fully enclosed Eric Buell Harley? With the same visual impact as a Knight or a Prince? And as attractive to the general biker population? You know the rest... [/QUOTE]
