on my bike they are Marchesini aluminium wheels - magnesium is the preserve of exotic exotica! |

Hi, if I may. No magnesium on any Bimota I would know. It's alu 100%! MVAgusta used to put magnesiums on the limited F4 of the first gen, but magnesium proved to be too soft to survive the usual road bumps, so the wheels became defected and started to vibrate on certain speeds... Magnesium is usable only for racetracks or silky smooth roads, so it is not used on bikes anymore (at least I don't know any). |
