Title: honorary monster..... sick bike. I'd ride it and so would YOU! Post by: jaxduc on May 11, 2012, 06:43:12 PM A monster is a naked ducati.
I declare this bike an honorary monster. Posted in the Tech section.... I think its a sick bike. I'm SURE there are nay-sayers....

... and I like the exhaust. Title: Re: honorary monster..... sick bike. I'd ride it and so would YOU! Post by: Dirty Duc on May 11, 2012, 08:12:31 PM Ha! I would own that if I had the spare cash. I'd really like to see the front suspension design... and compare it weight and "rideability" with conventional forks.

... and my god, that exhaust is amazing. it makes the bike. Title: Re: honorary monster..... sick bike. I'd ride it and so would YOU! Post by: Dirty Duc on May 11, 2012, 08:57:42 PM That description makes sense... mostly I wanted to be able to guess the geometry.
Next up is lap times as compared to SBK races... Title: Re: honorary monster..... sick bike. I'd ride it and so would YOU! Post by: wasta on May 11, 2012, 09:34:29 PM There is an Aussie (Lawrie Smith) on here www.pbmagforum.co.uk (http://) who has designed and built his own girder front end for an R1 with great success. He is now building one for a Fireblade.

I'd like to see something similar in the shape of the S2r & S4r tanks. Polished aluminum w/ un-smoothed welds! BADASS! [evil] [evil] [evil] Title: Re: honorary monster..... sick bike.

He is now building one for a Fireblade. He's the local suspension guy in Canberra (did my gixxer and my Monster, and also the girls RGV250). Blade was tested at Wakefield Park but suffered a little fire unrelated to the girder. Saw the R1 in action last year at a couple of trackdays Title: Re: honorary monster..... sick bike.

Title: Re: honorary monster..... sick bike. I'd ride it and so would YOU! Post by: memper on May 12, 2012, 09:58:12 AM Totally sick! Would look even better if the tail matched the tank though.

We need a new line from the reservoir to the shock on the girl's RGV so I don't think that'll be too far away (once I finish this load of work anyway). |
