Has Bimota ever made a good looking bike?

It's just . . . unharmonious, isn't it?

Just one tiny example: why is the rear brake disk wavy, while the front disks are regular?

I voted: Uncool.

Based on the 2012 Bimota DB9 Brivido specifications alone it's pretty darn awesome, but it's looks are a fail. As mentioned above the 2012 Bimota DB9 Brivido is unharmonious in it's design and looks like Bimota just threw parts at it and see what stuck on the frame. In a strange way it's (sort of) like my old V-Strom, it looks good as a side profile but 3/4 profile it's not as flattering. I don't know what it up with the fairing design and the headlights nor the front and back disc designs or the lower cowling or the massive gas tank and tiny rear seat proportions.

Overall, it's a really quirky bike that would indeed generate quite a bit of interest at a bike night but perhaps not as many positive comments as the owner would like.

This bike looks like an ugly insect.

Uncool from me.

I voted Fail.

I'm all about the looks of a bike and this bike just doesn't do it for me whatsoever. I think it's cool that it is a 1200cc L twin that is light weight, but this kind of a bike is meant to be super hot and it just isn't that.

It doesn't even look like a new bike, it looks kinda 1990-ish....

What the hell, it's a hand made bike with a Duc motor, I voted cool.

Not bad voting on this one, I knew it was going to be an interesting discussion/vote when I picked it. The reason I went with the 2012 Bimota DB9 Brivido was as I mentioned in my post it's a really awesome engine but the bike's looks really let it down and I didn't know if it would end up as awesome due to the engine or fail due to the looks of the bike... Seems it goes Uncool!
