I wish my Monster's swingarm looked like the one on the DB7.
The DB7 was compared to the Ducati Troy Bayliss 1098R in the latest Cycle World magazine. They liked the Bimota a lot. It sounded like a better street bike than the 1098 R, but the 1098 R had over 30 hp more and was a better track bike but only for those with serious skills like Troy Bayliss.
Black and alot of CF. [evil]

There is an aftermarket DSS for the Monster, that looks similar to that.
if I sat on it..... I'd leave a stain
that's more than just a DB7 it looks like. the normal DB7 has aluminum and possible steel swingarm. that looks like a CF and AL swingarm.
italians sure build beautiful things!
Love the Bimota.
Boobies are the reason I do not own one of those.

Is this the one you are thinking of?

It is an awesome looking swingarm. It has the look Ducati should have gone with.
Nice! Very cool pic, great swingarm!

Yep, that's the one.
If I remember correctly, it is pretty pricey.
I think I like their DB5/6 better than the DB7. But that's just me...

still hate that damn vertical headlight arrangement. for some reason it just doesn't look good.. and the overdoing of carbon to "bling it out" sort of gets tired. it would be better if they painted it and did the carbon accents to show through much more understated let the engineering the the lines scream instead.

I really need one of those - in any color. Its a beauty.

If I remember correctly that swingarm was $2200. I can't remember who makes it. Does any one know who makes the swingarm on the red Monster above.
Black is dull and boring....only Batman can wera black
The White/Red one is fingerlicking good..
Have you tried spray painting carbon fibre in white...so it becomes 80 opaque ?
That must look great

Moto Corse
I have one and it's a very nice swinger.
This one by Arthaworks is nice

That exhaust strut ruins the lines in the back. Other than that, it's a work of art.

Are they still available?
What function does the upside down dorsal fin/chainguard thingy serve?

I believe they are still available.
Try Desmoworks I'm petty sure they are now a dealer for Moto Corse or Bob Steinbugler (Bimota Spirit).

keeps objects out of the chain/sprocket junction if "bad stuff" happens.

True. All of the best pictures of the DB7 are from the left side. They probably offer a Termi aftermarket exhaust for it.

Kinda like folks here with a SSS Monster, mostly post pics of the right side. ;)

Makes sense just looks kinda out of place
Nice, very sutble. I've seen your bike before, but I don't think I slowed down enough to check out the swingarm.

The black doesn't pop out as much as the red one you posted.

I love how thin the wheel spokes look. They just look light.

The Asian guy on the left looks like he just came on himself. [laugh]
Damn I wish Moto Corse made it for single sided swingarms. :-[

that is such a better paint scheme then just all carbon fiber.
i saw someone posted the foggie up top, personally i never saw what was so great about them. i realize they were limited and such, but aside from that they look a bit too "busy" with everything on them. but each to their own.
