Title: Matador - Latest bike from Radical Ducati
Post by: Travman on November 19, 2012, 09:23:47 AM
This one has a similar look to ones we have seen before, but so far I never get tired of their bikes. This one is based on a 900 SS.

Love the styling.

Ditch those heavy front rotors.

After owning a 900SS and knowing the engine's power characteristics, that would be a huge blast to ride!!!

My only complaint is the horn, which seems like it was stuck on as an after thought.

Reminds me of what the Euros were doing to Bandits several years ago.

The horn is the same place on my monster. So it must be an afterthought!!

I like it a lot, except for the wheels. Why put all that time and money into a project, and then use the heavy-ass stock 3 spokes?

Totally agree with this. I love their designs (mainly the simplicity, but also the attention to small detail) - but this one seems like a "thrown together" version. The wheels are the most obvious sign of that. No effort to hide the horn better etc.

My favorite is still the Pursang http://radducati.blogspot.com/2011/11/rad02-pursang-by-radical-ducati-2010.html (http://radducati.blogspot.com/2011/11/rad02-pursang-by-radical-ducati-2010.html) from them.

I may be in the minority but I actually like the fact that its retains stock wheels, along with other low-cost components, i.e., Sachs rear shock, plastic pea cups.

I like the idea that you don't have to throw an excessive amount of money to have a custom Ducati.
