"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I'd say it is a KB1 with the fairings trimmed off to show off the frame and engine.

Bimota KB1



sans fairings

Is the fuel tank actually the fuel tank? Looks kind of hollow.

Too bad they didn't make a slimmer version with a Jota motor.

Notice how high in the frame that engine sits?

reminds me of this bike:

(not italian and not relevant to the thread except that it looks similar to me...).. never sold in the USA though..  VERY interesting engine:  5 valve parallel twin (5 valves per cylinder!!)

I do like those TRXs.  Something about the proportions, the motor, etc.  Looks a lot like a 900SS.  Had those been imported into the US, I would be riding one.

I like that angle even better.  It looks good with the round headlight.

they were designed to copy the feel of the mid 90s SS bikes.  frame, half fairing and all.
