...
Cagiva and MV Agusta were both owned by the Cagiva brothers.
The Cagiva brothers, formally own or ran Ducati.
Now, Harley D owns Cagiva and MV Agusta.
The 2nd time they have been associated.

I would think of the Bimota to be more like Ferrari in that they both use carbon fiber chassis'.

Not always.
Bimota has been building bike for many years.
They even have one based on the FZR600 motor.
It was the YB9 Bellaria.

I choose Austin, as they machines are build more as art, then just performance.
And exotic as they come.

But hey...
Its all for fun, so stick with your opinion. :)
