Some great images, I like the block of alloy with the part next to it. The ladies seem a little over dressed, tho..........

I'm hoping that now with EICMA over that they will get busy on my parts order from over a month ago! Rolling Eyes

The DB8 looks like it has a different type of swingarm not seen before, like the seat colour, goes nice with the matt carbon look

Yes, DB8 has more BB3 style swingarm - milled from block of aluminium...

good to see they also appear to have address the issue of the front mudguard and made it longer to cover the bottom of the forks to protect from stone chips. (wonder if I could order one for my bike)

Any news on which model year engine the BB3 is getting from BMW? 2014 or 2015 engines? Whilst I'm not a massive fan of the BB3 looks in standard colour scheme compared to the DB7/8; compared to the crop of new bikes that were released at the show it actually looks good!!!

Looks to be a fair few changes to that DB8...Polished Rim Oz wheels....billet one piece polished brembo calipers....and whats the engine in there? Was 1098 and then 1198....but dont recognise that Clutch cover....is that a Diavel engine lurking inside?

Also seems to have Ohlins front and rear.....

DB8 front end seems to be the same as BB3, same forks ,calipers , mudgrade and can see a wire going towards wheel spindle but can't see if it has the rotor for ABS brakes or not!!
