...is a beautiful bike in black.



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.

There is an aftermarket DSS for the Monster, that looks similar to that.

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.

It is an awesome looking swingarm.  It has the look Ducati should have gone with.

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.
