Surely this has to be better

That guy with the SFC in Breganze had green, white and red smoke flares attached to the exhaust.

That's the one. A certain Gio Guerra.

No

I remember that guy from previous meetings too, and the tricolore smoke in 2019!

Going back to the bike in discussion, in case people don't know, the HB1 was Bimota's very first model, almost exclusively sold in kit form, just add a CB750. Very nice, especially considering the year:

This one looks even cooler...


The Laverda-engined creation in this thread looks like a really nicely built homage to it - nice work! I'm not a fan of the covered-in side panels, but other than that it looks sweet and looks to have been built with a lot of skill. Drum brakes wouldn't be my choice either, but they can be made to work well enough if treated with caution, and at a guess the builder wanted that look so more power to him. Good for working on your corner speed!
