Default 2008 Motorcycles at Milan Moto Show

I'm sure by now everyone has seen the 1098R and 848 but some other new notables are the new Monster, Aprilias street supermoto, the KTM RC8, and the Bimota DB7. Motorcyclenews.com seems to have the best coverage so check out the articles there. I wish I had had the budget to go to Japan and do Milan this year but even if I did I didn't have the leave from my regular job to do it anyway

Diss and discuss!





Honda CB1000R

I love me some CB1kR. Except for the exhaust. Those wheels look SWEET!

What's with the Italian flag on the 1098R? It looks like a zit...

All the new bimotas are simply works of art... there really quite stunning as they have been all through history. I dont think I would ever own one save for a paper wieght, but they are sure nice to look at.

do we have specs on any of those other bikes?

Wow that CB1000R is really handsome. Especially the charcoal color. The gauge cluster is ace too.

I thought Aprilia was going to show their new superbike but maybe not. Their new supermoto is kind of disappointing, I thought it would look better than that. Who knows, maybe it'll be lighter and cheaper than the Hypermotard though.

I don't think it looks like my Z which is an 06, I think it looks a hell of a lot like the 07's from the engine design, radiator shrouds, tail, tank; etc
