A sad loss. The F3 was the last bike he penned.

The 916.....the original and still the best. The most gorgeous bike ever produced !!.

sad loss to the design of sexy sports bikes....
iirc he designed the cagiva mito BEFORE the Ducati 916, hence the similarities between them & the mv is another stunner.....(& also on my bucket list)
cheers,

It was said that he designed motorcycles with an engineer's eye.

He designed some good looking bikes that's for sure.

RIP
