I don't know,but,I will look for more information a007apl 01-17-2002, 04:38 PM O yes, there is a Lamborghini bike, although not many were made, but it did exist, and wasn't even built in Italy, but in France, by Boxer Bikes in Toulouse. When Patrick Mimran bought the Lamborghini company, he decided to use the Lamborghini name on other thing, beside cars. He used the fabulous V-12 in off-shore power boats, and with success, and now used the name for a bike, but not just a bike. The Lamborghini bike is considered to be one of the very best in the world, together with Bimota, also a European company, not a Japanese one. Just like the Bimota, the Lamborghini bike uses the best Japanese mechanicals on home built cycle-parts. For the Lamborghini bikes, a Kawasaki engine of 750, 900 or 1000 cc is used, which outputs between 90 and 120 Bhp and give the Lamborghini bike a top speed in excess of 160 mph. By using the best parts available, the Lamborghini bike weighs only 396 lbs, the light-weight aluminium frame is a work of art by Claude Fior, the shock absorbers are made by FournalŠs, the exhausts by Devil and Gotti makes these wheels especially for this bike. The gold-plated (actually 'Cadmium plated') brake calipers are made by Brembo. An order list of 50 units was accepted, and in 1986 the production of the Lamborghini bike was started in the Boxer Bikes workshop. They hope to built 100 units a year, and each of them will cost about $13,500, but for this kind of money you buy the best available, besides, a Bimota is in the same price range, and if you own a Lamborghini car, you must buy a bike too.www.lambocars.com Steel 01-17-2002, 05:23 PM why not just get a kwak then? I'd have liked it more it it used a lamborghini MOTORCYCLE engine. a007apl 01-17-2002, 06:49 PM http://www.autodrome-cannes.com/boxer_bike.htm Sad But True,One,Seek & Destroy,Creeping Death,Fuel,Master of Puppets,more?Steel Jump in the Fire! a007apl 02-20-2002, 07:38 AM CONTROL AC 06-30-2002, 03:25 PM pretty sweet but looks well dated vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
