I'm not in love with the looks of that bike. The engine looks really out of place, like an industrial water pump. And the low-hanging sump is just asking to kiss a speed bump. The point of making it a Magni (or a Bimota or any special) would be to make it better than a Brutale, and I don't see the extra $25k.

That's a scary thought. While the engine does look out of place with everything else, I appreciate the fact that the design actually embraces it — no pseudo cooling fins, etc..
As far as CB tire options go, I'd be more open to installing a 160 on the back end than a 120 on the front end.

I'd like something more like this, maybe with upgraded wheels/suspension.

I'd like a bike that sounds like this (4:53), no matter what it looks like.

That's exactly how I feel about the sound of the new FZ-10 from Yamaha. Normally I'm not an aural guy. Could care very little about replacing the exhausts on my bikes cause for the most part the noise just annoys me, but riding an FZ-10 between 4 & 8 grand makes my eyes roll back in my head if you know what I mean.
