Special Features for Giro Lamborghini

One Lamborghini is nice, 37 Lamborghinis are better.

It was a slow news day for Lamborghini. The Gallardo Superleggera was
launched earlier this year. The Murciélago turned into the LP640 last
year. The Frankfurt auto show, where the spectacular Reventón would be
shown, hadn't happened yet. From a product standpoint, there was
little to talk about. Still, Lamborghini asked us to join them on the
Giro Lamborghini 2007, a pilgrimage that has a different starting
point every year but the same destination: the Pebble Beach Concours
d'Élégance. And, no, Lamborghini wasn't even the featured marque.

Zero Lamborghinis in a motorcycling newsgroup would be best of all.

 

Actually; there HAVE been both Lamborghini motorbikes and pushbikes.

I don't think either were designed or commissioned by the late Count
Lamborghini but he did agree to put his name to the product.

 

Interesting. Assuming the donk wasn't a classic Lamborghini 4-litre V12,
do you know what *is* hiding under all that red plastic?

 

Oooh gawd; I was flat out remembering that it EXISTED!!
I don't think it was anything special. Probably a 4cyl UJM but I'll ask
Google.

Says Kawasaki 750/900/1000 but it doesn't say whether it's the 4v
liquid-cooled R or the earlier air-cooled donk.

 

I must admit I thought they were based on the GPz750R, GPz900R, GPz1000R
series of motors, but it might just be senility setting in...

If the low-res pic that exposes the motor is anything to go by, then
it's a GPzXXXR and probably the 750.

 

If it wasn't for the caption that says "900cc", that is!

 

*snicker*

There's bloke near me who drives a Lambo around his paddock, towing a plough
even.
