Ducati Monster Forum

A.K.A. sexy bikes. So it's not the usual pr0n, but it's still exciting and makes you [drool]

(http://www.radicalducati.com/uploads/images/Rad/raceric/mono3-400.jpg)

The build is described here: www.radicalducati.com/index.php?page=raceric (http://) (http://)

I'd go crazy if I had the money!

the tank reminds me of the Troll bikes that Donnie at DucPond built....

since he revamped his site, they aren't posted up anymore, but they are coooool!

I've always loved the work of Ghezzi and Brian. They really know how to bring out the hidden beauty in Guzzi bikes. This is their 'Fionda':

and

(http://www.duccutters.com/GhezziBrian/Fionda/Fionda%5F3.jpg)

Yes they are!  Saw them out there on Friday.  Almost needed a bib. 

I like the WrenchMonkees stuff, and now they've done a 750SS:

I dig their minimalistic style! And prices actually seem reasonable: 17K for their custom Sportster! Caveat: they seem reasonable to me after seeing what some people charge for their chromed tractors. ;)

In the end tho, if there is one bike I'd take out a loan to buy it would be this:
(http://www.motoaus.com/images/stories/bimota/bimota-tesi-1440.jpg) (http://www.bimotaamerica.com/bikes_t3da.html)
There is also a version with raw carbon fiber fairing similar to what they did with the 'Oro Nero' (black gold).

Fresh material for Ben!

I be pimpin'!

Yea, I've seen it.  It lost all appeal when I saw that it is going to be an I4, 600. 

There were 2 of these at the Duc shop around the corner from me. Absolutely crazy looking in person. I think I asked a million questions about that damn thing!

they have at least one Tesi ( might be a Oro Nero) at Battley's...

wow..speechless on the forkless...

Nope, I3 675. Direct competition with the Triumph Daytona, and expected to cost less than a Ducati 848. Agusta expects to sell 10,000 per year.

Personally I'm glad to see them make something more affordable to common people.

being reported as otherwise...

bizarre contradictions
http://www.mvagustausa.com/news/091710_600F3.html (http://www.mvagustausa.com/news/091710_600F3.html)

Implied in the MV news story it's a 600cc triple...

so maybe both are right AND wrong...

maybe it is a 3 cyl instead of an I-4 AND only 600cc's instead of 675?!?!?!

Hmmmm  :-\

I think they'll either go with a 600cc I-4 or a 675cc I-3, no reason to mix and match.

Is there some reason they couldn't have an I3 be 600cc? and maybe the term "600" on the MV news page is just the category they are putting the bike in and not it's actual displacement.

it could be...either way...it keeps an interest or a buzz for the potential consumer public....

They very well could make a 600cc I3 but it would not compare well to the japanese 600 bikes (performance -- HP wise).

For a given displacement, a higher number of cylinders (fractioning??? not sure about the term), yields more HP. If you have fewer cylinders, you need to increase displacement to get the same HP: that's why Ducati had the 748/749 and Triumph had the 675 to compete with the 600 jap bikes.

Still thinking that I would go the Daytona route over the F3.  After all, I've been down that road and enjoyed where it went.   [thumbsup]

Lots of moto-pr0n: check out the pages of this auction catalog (auction in New Zealand)

God I love that Bimota. Watched that twist the throttle on bimota... good stuff.

Love the classic bikes: Thomann 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkPF_xdCNGw#normal)

Sets me right in the mood for a change of avatar ;)

I'm keeping an eye on what develops over at Mac Motorcycles (link (http://www.mac-motorcycles.com)). They were to source the engine from Buell (Blast), but I read they're working on a new source for production models. Kinda partial to the Ruby. Loving the simplicity for an everyday commuter... and occasional backwoods ramble.

(http://www.mac-motorcycles.com/images/ruby_black_800x455.jpg)

Also looking at Fischer (link (http://www.fischer1.com/)) since a 1000cc v-twin is in the works. Given the factory is in Maryland (Eastern Shore) I've been thinking about riding out there one of these Saturdays to see if they've got any kind of showroom (or, at least, a bike to sit on).

(http://www.fischer1.com/images/mrx%20race%20stand%202.jpg)

That'd be cool! Maybe they'd do a factory-tour thing. Years ago I went with a group to the Buell factory, and while areas were off limits, there was still lots to see.

I've been to Fischer and met Dan a few times.

I can't figure out which one of those I dig better...can NOT park 4 bikes!!!!!

 [drool]

When and where can I buy one of these. I'm holding the cash. Loving the Spud.

No clue on when/where. They're trying to wrap up their prototypes. Last design issue: where to put the battery? Fack that... It's a carbed single cylinder so I think it should be a kick start.

A modern kick start single for the road... I bet theres a market for that actually. Don't know jack about kick starts, how hard is it to kick over a 500cc 10:1 compression engine?

Actually... it can be pretty hard. Unless there's a compression release so you can ease it over tdc.

that's what a lot of guys who convert enduro or dirt only bikes over to street/supermoto's end up doing...

It would probably need one. My little CBR150R "driveway racer" has a compression release.

Das nice!

But I think this is the most famous Guzzi Cafe'

(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2224/2059601297_8197fa8391.jpg)

Don't remember the name of the guy who made the bike, but he's a photographer and used his bike for this Davida helmet ad.

And then built a very similar one for Ewan. 

I love this style. Timeless. You're a different kind of badass on a true cafe racer.

It's Ben Part's bike. MacGregor like it so much he asked him to make one for him. Ben dubbed it the "OB-1" (get it?)

Story is that so many people called Davida about the bike and not their helmet that they pulled the ad.

I like the music, too. Let's plan a group ride in northern Africa. All we need are some knobs on the tires, right?..

That thing is erotic!  [drool]  The guy has a Monster (http://www.mad-ducati.com/images/MikeCecchini/Monster/Monster1.html)that is nicely modded as well.


Don't know the details but I love the looks! It started either as a Guzzi Centauro or a Daytona (I hope the former!) with carbs instead of FI and a nice set of forks+brakes. Here's the page of a guy who converted a Centauro to a Cafe' Racer (http://www.centauro-owners.com/articles/marc_detournay/index.html).

While these three might not strictly count as bike pr0n but given today's weather, I'll make an exception ;)

he also has a 'Sedici and an absolutely drop dead gorgeous Yellow Corsa 888 that is just stunning as well as a Hailwood replica and a few other beautiful bikes....I just with he'd get that english turd hangin off his rack in the garage fixed, put back together, and rolling on it's own again...

here's the Corsa 888

in a make your nipples hard after riding it kind of way?...LOL...J/K

In the south of Italy we have a saying which roughly translates to: "every cockroach looks pretty to his momma"

Oddly enough this bike reminds me somewhat of the Guzzi Centauro..  :-\

I dunno... it reminds me of a 'busa with more thought put into the details.

I kind of like this...

Whoa! Curves! Nice cafe-racer meets streetfighter design. Prefer the exhaust on the blue.

Wakan is nice, but the exhaust and shock are in the wrong place. [evil]

Agree 100% - why go to all the trouble to put slim / curvy parts to show off the motor and then put 2 large giant mufflers on the side?
The MotoGP-esque one one the blue bike looks much more in line with the rest of the design. Bet it's louder than, uh, feck.
Gotta love the air intake! Practical this bike is not, but you'll save on front tires I'll bet!

WAAAAAANT!!! [drool]

Been on eBay recently, saw a 916 frame and magnesium whees for silly low prices.... make me think of the things I could do  :'(

Well, the first issue is as good as I'd hoped. Basically a fanzine - no lifestyle junk just good pics and short articles about the bikes (and a car or two) in the pics. Seems the trend right now is towards these digest sized uber-focused magazines, that probably make the folks producing them no money (or negative money). There's an article in there on a Maserati 50cc 2 stroke bike. Thing is totally awesome.
Of course there's the ubiquitous blog: http://italianmotor.blogspot.com (http://italianmotor.blogspot.com) with more moto-pr0n

I've enjoyed a bit of online reading about Guzzi (http://www.motoitaliane.it/bicilindrica.html) and Ducati (http://www.motoitaliane.it/mondoducati.html) (both in italian tho).

And now for some 4-wheel lust  [drool]

I love a simple, purposeful but stylish bike.

I still remember how much I lusted over this bike when I first saw it in 1991 [drool]

(http://lh4.ggpht.com/_zRF6lelMoic/SShgd1WMCjI/AAAAAAAAFOo/gqtnEW5T72E/s640/CCI00143.jpg)

Gilera made a 600cc and a 350cc version. Only two problems with the bike were the small fuel tank and Gilera's pathetic marketing efforts. This was before the big SuMo boom and the only other similar bike was the KTM Duke, although I think the NordWest came out first.

that thing is HAWT!!!

Yikes!

And it doesn't look anywhere near as bad as that POS that Ducati is offering.

I'm having a really hard time finding the bike in this pic!  ;D
(http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/4918/midalu.jpg)

Please don't mention the Dia<choke><cough>. Seriously, I think Ducati is going to do more damage to their image with that thing, which will cost them more that the profit they (won't) get selling an ugly super cruiser to a market that dried up 2 or 3 years ago. Hopefully I'm wrong on this.

What bike?

Dude, it's right...  uhm...  what?

shes too skinny...

yea, and her hair is waaay too dark!  [thumbsdown]




 ;D

eh... i've been with a blonde for 12 years now... every couple years she dyes her hair dark for me :)

Silly Americans...

LOL
I just like a bit more back shelf :D

As do I.  BUT Czech girls in action are a sight to see.   [evil]

+1 on the shelf

The forum doesn't need to know all you guys' preferences.   Save that for over beers. 

Back to bikes. 

Now for something completely different.

Maybe it's a bike and not a motorcycle, and maybe not "motor" cycle to some because it's electric, but I'd say this qualifies as moto-p0rn:

http://www.cycleexif.com/grace-pro-race (http://www.cycleexif.com/grace-pro-race)

Sadly I don't think any one of my bikes are worth what this thing probably costs. Maybe all of them together? Still no I'd guess.

(http://cycleexif.exifmedia.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/grace-pro-race-1.jpg)

And now for something completely different still...

If I had the money (and my wife would allow me :-[) I would get the Tesi in a heart-beat!
(http://www.codeherrings.com/images/moto/bimota/bimota_tesi_3d_carbon-black.jpg)

that is chick is perfect. 

and the bike is not too bad looking either.

You did look pretty happy sitting on the one at IMS.

(http://www.codeherrings.com/images/moto/ducati/funny/happy_idiot.jpg)

Funny thing is that tax-rebate-season is coming up for us, so my wife and I are looking at cars again... so guess what was my first thought [evil]

.
.
.

I wish  :'(

By the way seems like Bimota will make a biposto version of the Tesi (with a DB7 like handlebar) and they have done away with the unusual front shock and gone with a traditional Ohlins.

(http://static.blogo.it/motoblog/bimota-tesi-3d-biposto/big_bimotatesi3dbiposto01.jpg)

Yeah, Pepe is what you were taking a picture of......

Another bike exif derby:

http://www.bikeexif.com/cafe-kawasaki-h1 (http://www.bikeexif.com/cafe-kawasaki-h1)

My brain says the 70s bodywork is ugly, but yet I find it oddly compelling. If they've really got the "Windowmaker" H1 handling that'd be an awesome thing.

A 2stroke triple? And I totally agree on the body work... I'd ride it.

Those old two-cycle triples were ridiculously deadly!!

sorry but this thing only gets [puke] from me

I agree.  That poor KTM...

I like how the Buell they have pictured on their photo page is laying on its side.   [evil]

yeah, but like a Multistrada, it probably is perfectly fine from the riding POV....and I bet it goes like stink!..although I am curious as to how that saddle feels...

I actually like the older MTS better than the new one...

Great idea Zooom, let's start posting some of those pics so we can piss off Statler! [cheeky]

The little honda on the other side is a real jem! I'd prefer it to a scooter for commuting in the city.

Nice - I like the look of the pipes especially, although I'll bet it's like a machine gun going off! Like the Norton-esque logo.

No prob with that link.   [beer]

Since I'm so rough on bikes I'm seriously considering this one...

Then I can inspire him NOT to bring over your old FZR.

 ;D

WELL...at least he has ALL the parts he needs for the FZR!!!...or at least he HAD it all when I sold it all to him...

WTF is Guzzi/Piaggio/Aprilia still waiting for to put this bike (and its sisters) into production?!?!?

Love how they managed to re-lauch the company since the Elise. [thumbsup] And these colors are just awesome, there's something about the black/gold combination that just spells SEXY all over it!

I slagged it before, but A&R offers an opposing viewpoint. The "devil's advocate" if you will.

http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/oped/ducati-diavel-business-case/ (http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/oped/ducati-diavel-business-case/)

he makes some valid arguments....

Agreed. I think one smart point is:

Like lemmings running off the cliff into the sea, die-hard Ducatisti would have long ago run Ducati into the ground pursuing the ultimate in Superbike-only brands…in fact they did…several times.

The inconvenient truth in Italy is that the Ducati Diavel wasn’t made for the current Ducatisti — it was made for future ones. It shouldn’t be surprising that the Diavel is unappealing to many of the already indoctrinated, and that’s likely well and fine by Ducati. It’s not looking to up-sell its current rider base to this $17,000-$20,000 motorcycle, instead the Italian company is looking for fresh meat for the brand.

+1 on that, kind of makes me think of what happen(s/ed) at Guzzi.

Don't remember where I read this but there were a bunch of people really bashing the design of the Guzzi V12 concept bikes. Personally I think they look awesome and, aside from the silly rear view LCDs with cameras in the cylinder heads, they are just stunning!

I would actually like to copy their rear mud-guard design with the integrated licence plate + lights. I just need to figure out how to do it with an old SBK mono swingarm... :-\

Agreed - that Guzzi concept looks bad ass.

Thought you guys might enjoy this one. This is hanging at a friends garage. It is part of motorcycle history. It's a 1966 Yamaha TD1 250cc track bike that actually raced in the 1966 Grand Prix. Needs a couple of small parts to be ride-able but it does run! I drool every time I go over there and see this thing just casually hanging from the ceiling next some of his other collector bikes.

Not sure which episode so I've got the season set to record.

MCN: First ride of the Vyrus 986 M2 Moto2 bike at Misano

First ride of the Vyrus 986 M2 Moto2 bike at Misano (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXRCLuodY-A&hd=1#)

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!! [thumbsup]

Looks a lot like a revamped Bimota Tesi.

I like it!!

It sure is purdy.  Would love to take one for a spin.

Ascanio Rodrigo used to work for Bimota and he was deeply involved with the Tesi 2. Most of his Vyrus bikes still remain simlar to the Tesi 2 but with 4V (999 - 1098) engines instead of the 2V ones used by Bimota.

What's very interesting here is that, compared to the application with Ducati engines, the Omega frame is placed "upside down". I'm thinking they did this because the Honda I-4 is much wider than Ducati engines so they wanted to limit the width of the bike.

Brilliant guys, I really hope to see them continue. [thumbsup]

What's cool is they could sell a rolling-chassis kit if they wanted so you could bolt up a Honda 600 (or maybe a 750 if it's the same cases). Good use of the motor that's all that's left after that squid launched it on his third day of ownership.

Love all the Guzzis in here! My dad just ordered a 2012 Griso 8v se, just like this one...

Sweet! The green color is the best. The muffler though...

The colors are similar to the V11 LeMans Tenni

(http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/Gallery%20%20A/Moto%20Guzzi%20V11%20Le%20Mans%20Tenni_1.jpg)

Oddly enough (tho not that much for Italians) the "Tenni" colors are those of the Guzzi 500cc V8 (and a few other race bikes). Omobonno Tenni (greatest guzzi racer) didn't ride a bike in that color.


Let your dad know he should expect a couple guys roughly resembling stan & oliver to come drool over his bike. [laugh]

It's pron to me dammit.

What intercooler is that? Is this part of a turbo kit - if so which one?

It should be a Mark IV (4th gen. Golf) engine in a Mark II chassis with a crazy turbo bolted on to the thing. That thing is going to be silly fun! [laugh]

Nice! [thumbsup]

MK III ABA 2.0 with an APR stage 1 Turbo kit...though I think I would have been going with a G60 head and a G-Ladder or a Bahn Brenner Stage 2 Supercharger. 

As if you know a thing or two about Volkswagens...

 ;D

Close but no cee-gar. ABA with a Kinetic StgII kit. G60 head wouldn't be bad but is essentially just a cam when it comes down to brass tacks. That can be added later pretty easily, the Autotech 268 grind is the lead contender. G-laders are great if you're planning to keep it 100% OEM but it's a flawed design for longevity. It's great that they're cheap to replace but they're also inefficient and don't get to my planned power goals. The BBM charger is another option that I looked at but id like to break 200 wheel and then some, so I'd need to run a stupid small pulley to even get there, and it would be pretty well outside its efficiency range by the time it got north of 185 or so. The StgII should put around 240whp pretty easily with room to grow if I wanted to add a Walbro later to pump some extra go juice. I don't want much more than that because torque steer is already going to be something to deal with until I rebuild and add a diff to the O2O.

Yes Massimo, silly is a good descriptor once she's done. I put the Techtonics catback on today since the old one rusted off last week, it's going to sound really good with an extra bit of displacement and a snail. Kit is coming from Canada, should be shipping this week if the canucks can get their shit together.

it is also a solid lifter head like the old 84 GTi ones that were overbuilt for under power...


I have a 4K sitting at work that needs a new ring and pinion, which is essentially what you'de be doing if you were to put in a Peloquin or Quaife LSD if you'de like it.


which mufflers and what size exhaust did you get from TT for putting on? Borla and 2.5?

What would you want for the 4K? That would definitely be a gearing improvement over the O2O and it would give me time to build it since it's more a matter of when than if in regard to popping the trans.

I went with a 2.5" with a Magnaflow muffler. It's actually pretty quiet, which I'm a big fan of. The intercooler is getting stuffed in the space where the AC condenser used to be so to the casual observer it won't look or sound much different than a stock MkII. Until...

6 pack of beer and your time to come down to Bethesda to pick it up from me at work and it is yours.

You drive a hard bargain sir.

just coordinate with me ahead of time so you don't make the trip for nothing....

Is it a common problem that people show up on your doorstep with beer in hopes of getting a free tranny?

Wait that came out wrong. Lol we'll coordinate in the near future once I have a free second.

Maybe it is for your sir!

Please, that shit ain't free.

I think it would be amazing if it works out. Much better than batteries since there would be no toxic waste involved and refuel time would be only a couple minutes!

The level of craftsmanship on some of this stuff is amazing. And check out the cam belt(?) covers on the 750 Pantah (at least I think it's a Pantah - did they use cam belts or chains?)

Nostalgic ol' f***ers!  [laugh]

Really nice stuff tho!

And monied too. That AJS V4 2-stroke is the only one left (I think there were only 2 or 3 made). Water cooled and super-charged. Not bad for 1938, eh?

UMMMM...I think this was a 'Busa....

BTW, engine's an older air/oil cooled carb'd gxr engine (probably 1100 or so). Front looks like a single sided swingarm from a VFR mounted to a wannabe Hossack look-alike setup.  [thumbsdown]

Gotta love that exhaust.

I'm amazed by the craftsmanship, not so much crazy about the actual routing tho: seems unnecessarily long.

Been around for a while. Here's the original build thread (in Italian) with lots of pics: http://www.ducatimultistrada.it/pages/articolo.php?Id_Art=70 (http://www.ducatimultistrada.it/pages/articolo.php?Id_Art=70)

Nice, but the exhaust is seriously F***ED UP! :o Shall we call it boiled eggs? [laugh]

Ahh - but he says in the description that the seat doesn't get too hot. Can't be as bad as a 916...

If he says so....  [laugh]
