I saw a black one in the show room of Go Az Motorcycle BMW / Ducati dealership a couple weeks ago.

Not my cup of tea but an amazing amount of machining went into it.

Doesn't look like it would be too comfortable or practical to ride.

If one where to spend stupid money on a hand built machine I would go for a Bimota Tesi

I've seen that one too.  Interesting to look at, but...

Ad says 560lbs (wet).  They must have included the hairspray for the blonde.

That is the ugliest bike I have ever seen!
Even Arnie wouldn't sit on that, looks like some mock up for a film set
As an engineer it is interesting, but!

LOL

"The P51 Combat Fighter is the world's first and only vehicle to be carved entirely from solid billet blocks of military-grade aluminum, resulting in the most robust, fatique-resistant motorcycle it is possible to create."

Why would it need to be fatigue resistant if all it will ever do is sit on display?  :laugh:

I guess: just shows one man's flower is another man's weed.

In the UK during 80's they sold the Russian LADA Riva, people did buy them but they were still the ugliest car known to man.
