He needs to use one of those smaller A123 cell batteries though...the big lump of a battery hanging off the left side kinda sucks. Title: Re: Hyper 1098 Post by: junior varsity on January 07, 2010, 07:12:45 AM wowza. and +1 on the A123 batts.

Title: Re: Hyper 1098 Post by: NuTTs on January 07, 2010, 08:33:14 PM It takes balls and some insanity to make something you'd like to ride turn into reality.
In this case, it must take bigger balls to ride the thing. Title: Re: Hyper 1098 Post by: Raux on January 08, 2010, 09:51:20 AM two things,
1) it's not a HM, it's a 1098 made to look like a hyper. 1098 frame, motor, suspensions, etc. with HM-styled bodywork. 2) "If rumors are true about Ducati phasing out its air-cooled two-valve lumps..." :o :o :o :o Title: Re: Hyper 1098 Post by: junior varsity on January 08, 2010, 09:54:11 AM do not believe #2.
Title: Re: Hyper 1098 Post by: Africaboy on January 08, 2010, 01:02:23 PM I found a bike shop in Toronto that is willing to put a 1098 crate motor into my 07 S2R1K. Very tempted! Now does anyone wanna loan me $6K ?
Title: Re: Hyper 1098 Post by: RetroSBK on January 08, 2010, 02:57:49 PM Proof positive that the water cooled engine is too busy to be truly naked..
Ill stick with the 2v motor for the hyper, just with a few motor tweaks! ;) Title: Re: Hyper 1098 Post by: TAftonomos on January 09, 2010, 07:23:21 AM I think the idea/concept are cool, but it blurs the lines between what the hyper is, and what a SF is too much.
I think the next bike I buy or build will be as simple as I can make it (air cooled, carb'd, etc). |
