But before Tamburini passed he had one last design to give the tw-wheeled world and it’s now debuted in the flesh. The Tamburini T12 Massimo is a BMW S1000RR powered superbike which is a gorgeous track-only machine.
It weighs just 150kg dry, has carbon fiber bodywork and a stunning custom-built Arrow exhaust, which exits to the side of the bellypan.
The chassis is a trellis set-up that uses high tensile steel alloy tubing – similar to other frames on Bimotas (Tamburini was the ‘ta’ of the Bimota name). The headstock is a magnesium casting.
The wheels are forged magnesium units and the carbon fiber fuel tank supports the seat and subframe. Suspension is Öhlins. Brakes are by Brembo, and feature quick-release lines by Staubli. All-in, the bike makes 230bhp.
No, there’s no price given for this bike of beauty.
