Something was weird with this bike when I looked at it but I couldn't figure out what at first. This pic shows it better...

Anyone notice anything strangely out of place?
BTW: Over the top cool! Nice find, stopintime. [thumbsup]

Ooh...ooh-that's an aftermarket radiator-def too small to be an S4R one [cheeky]
You're kind of on the right track...
It's an aircooled bike :D

Are you referring to the fact that it is a water cooled 2 valve? Not out of place. That is an ST2 powerplant.
I'm guessing the dented tank - at least it looks dented to me.

Cool! I didn't know the ST2 was water cooled. Time for me to study up!
Yes, that is what looked out of place to me.
YES , I didn't know that a SSS would bolt onto an ST2 motor!

That's a play on the Ducati Elite. It's one of the earliest Ducati Racers. The tank was referred to as a "jelly mold" tank.
I think it a very fitting tribute to a rare and very collectible bike

They milled the cases @ the swing-arm pivot to accept a 748-998 swingarm and yes Virginia...it is an ST2 engine. Or am I missing 'it'?
