Post by: Dirty Duc on January 23, 2015, 09:17:01 AM guess its time to start researching a SC DS1000... There've been a couple of supercharged SBKs, and there used to be a kit. SuperSqualo comes to mind... the story is on duccutters as well.http://www.duccutters.com/VeeTwo-SuperChargerKit.tpl (http://www.duccutters.com/VeeTwo-SuperChargerKit.tpl) Title: Re: What could have been... Post by: monsta on January 23, 2015, 09:52:13 PM I've ridden the supersqualo, got to fang it up the local dragstrip a few times! :)
and I use to take the supercharged monster home for the weekend to give it a flogging. 8) Title: Re: What could have been...

Title: Re: What could have been... Post by: brad black on January 23, 2015, 10:05:55 PM the story behind the triple is really odd. ricardo have been building engines for so long that them making a dud is very hard to understand.

Post by: Langanobob on February 19, 2015, 08:08:53 AM true, that rpm potential is insane, id love to ride something that rapped out to 18k lol that's nearing jet engine territory Yeah, I wonder what happened with the 30 HP output? Seems like Ricardo wouldn't have made a major design mistake. It also seems like Ducati would have figured out something like cam timing in a high revving engine. I bet there was a sweet spot at 16,231 RPM's where the HP went to 90, but 10 rev's below or above that it dropped back to 30. Too bad all the R&D reportedly stopped when the company was sold. Maybe someday Ducati can be a profitable independent company again and not have to worry about too many non-riding accountants. Bob |
