Title: Best frame for a 4 valve naked bike? Post by: stopintime on November 08, 2011, 11:10:25 AM I'm thinking a few years ahead 8)
Either a track worthy stiffened, lightened, tuned and minimized MultiStrada 1200 or a +/- 1098 powered naked bike [Dolph] Not a StreetFighter - wrong ergonomics for me. What would you recommend?

Post by: Buckethead on November 08, 2011, 11:15:19 AM I've often wondered what the combination of an 848 engine and a Sport 1000S frame would feel like. The geometry, ground clearance and weight distribution are there for a seriously solid track beast, and the 848 engine is a mighty mite.
Food for thought. [coffee] Title: Re: Best frame for a 4 valve naked bike?

but i agree with zooom, pierobon is pretty sexy. that frame and some rad ducati parts... Title: Re: Best frame for a 4 valve naked bike? Post by: stopintime on November 08, 2011, 03:19:19 PM Sadly, Pierobon is out.
It has to have a stock(ish) frame with road-legit paperwork [bang] It also has to have an E-stamped (Termi) exhaust to keep rolling after an inspection.

Title: Re: Best frame for a 4 valve naked bike? Post by: Buckethead on November 09, 2011, 06:21:15 AM I believe stopintime is saying that he needs a frame with paperwork (title or MSO or similar) and an "emission-stamped" exhaust.
He lives in one of those funny Scandinavian countries where they care about things like "exhaust emissions" and "the environment." [roll] ;) Title: Re: Best frame for a 4 valve naked bike? Post by: Randy@StradaFab on November 09, 2011, 06:45:27 AM OK...just curious....had a guy from Spain contact me about building a Ti Sport Classic frame for a 999S motor. He never mentioned anything about E Stamped. Not sure if a MSO from the U.S. would work in Europe or not.

Title: Re: Best frame for a 4 valve naked bike? Post by: stopintime on November 09, 2011, 09:34:55 AM Randy, your Spanish customer might want it for a trackday bike? If it's for a road bike, he's in trouble. One solution can be to use the original steering head with the VIN still intact. Not exactly legal, but hard to see.
Title: Re: Best frame for a 4 valve naked bike? Post by: Randy@StradaFab on November 09, 2011, 09:38:59 AM I'm building Titanium frames so there is no way to use the original steering head. There is a way to get VIN numbers assigned to my frames. Would that still be a no-go in Europe?

US VINs are worthless in Europe (after model year ~ 2001)(pre ~ 2001 could be your loop hole) Manufacturers refuse to issue COCs because that would allow us to import the much lower priced US bikes.
