Vintage 1986: Lamborghini's design 90.

Via: bikervoodoo
"Lamborghini turned to French racing bike constructor BOXER to build their ultimate sportbike, the Lamborghini Design 90. Led by engineer Claude Fior (died 2001 in an aircraft accident), Boxer bikes were known for high-tech bikes hand-built to aerospace specs. High performance was ensured with the usage of a lightweight frame and a DOHC 16-Valve Kawasaki 4-cylinder engine pumping out 125 bhp.

Introduced in 1986, the bikes were priced at an astronomically high price of about US$13,500 just about twice as much as the most expensive high end bike then available. They styling, seen today is questionable, being inspired at the time by the 25th Anniversary Lamborghini Countach.
About 25 units were scheduled for production, but the actual number of completed bikes is estimated to be around just only 5."
