Malaguti is another one of the Bologna bike makers (Ducati and Morini being the others). They currently only make scooters and have partnered with Ducati for some special edition models.. actually, i think they went out of business...

Jeff Nash has one of these at his Alvarado Advanced Motorsports shop (AMS-A, near Fort Worth).
A black Laverda Jota triple on the right. You don't see too many Jotas that aren't orange with a silver frame. The orange bike is a Laverda SF1 750 twin.

Sweet bikes but Travman I think you have a serious addiction. Maybe you should take some time off or just go on a full Cafe Racer binge and get smacked out. Surround your self with clip-ons, number plates, round headlights, and other shiny metal things [cheeky].

i really like the painted clutch case and sump with contrasting bare metal parts (or perhaps its silver paint). The red calipers are a little much, but not horrendous. I like the pipe shape quite a bit. Subframe doesn't look so bad all blacked out with a black frame.

What about the motor swap? you're right about the calipers, over the top
I mean, a 4V would be sweet, but I really like 2V / aircooled in the open frames... I might have picked the testrastretta engine for the conversion, since it has the narrower heads, purely for visual reasons.
I wonder if the radiator would get enough airflow if you mounted it up where the airbox would be. That would definitely clean it up, or many other bikes for that matter.

That's a killer idea that I'd love to see. I wish I had the $, knowledge, and time to give it a try. I'm guessing there wouldn't be enough airflow, but if there was, it'd be hawt/

Ducatiz, that is what I'm talking about. I love all the bikes you posted. I saw a Morini 3.5 this summer that was for sale cheap. It was very beat up. The police bike is cool. It would be awesome to have for around town use. What do you think the that is sticking out of the bottom hole of the Aermacchi Chimera?

valve head. 1 cyl 175cc engine with a horizontal cylinder.
met this bike's owner at a random car/bike show at one of the local high schools. Apparently he got it really cheap in italy and had it shipped over.

That was a hell of a show. I wish we could see an Italian bike show like that in the U.S. We have one every September, but it doesn't compare to that one. I really liked the Monster in pics 17 & 18. That is a very cool swingarm and exhaust.

i know it would be painful to ride!
it's a Gilera Saterno with some funky gizmo on the valve train. it's a DOHC single, they were very popular for a while, went out of biz in the 80s and now (?) make only scooters.
Ducatiz, thanks for the name of the Gilera. I found this information and pic of a stock Saturno
"In post-war Italy, the biggest rival to the iconic Moto Guzzi Falcone was the Gilera Saturno. Only six thousand of these elegant 500 cc singles were produced in Arcore from 1946 to 1958, but they left a strong impression on the history of motorcycling. Engineer Giuseppe Salmaggi actually designed the Saturno in 1938: it's a testimony to the quality of his work that the svelte Gilera became the favored mount of racing privateers a decade later, with class-leading acceleration and handling."
(http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/gilera_saturno_piuma_telescopico.jpg)
It appears the earlier year versions of the Saturno had girder style forks.

Yep, popular in the late 70's.

Thanks for pointing that out. I can see the valve head is very similar or perhaps the same as the valve head sticking out of the 1 cyl 175cc engine in the Chimera.

Morini 500's came in 3 colors in Europe. There were probably 100 x as many sold there as here. They only sold them briefly here, I think they were actually not officially represented.
i dont even know what this is gonna be, but ill call dibs now and save the hassel.

Monster copy with a TL1000 engine. Fairly well done, I rode one in Italy last year. Cagiva COULD have done more with them, but they are basically done for now. Talk about a "parts bin" bike!

that hurts to look at.
why would someone take a roundcase and do that to it? :'(
i've seen modern stuff done with bevel engines, but that frankenstein setup just hurts to look at.
I was going to let that one slide, but I have to agree. The frame isn't pretty and the yellow wheel with the red frame gives it a Ronald McDonald look. I'd have to be a little more respectful of such a classic engine.
I'm sure everyone has seen this bike before, but just in case, this is how modern stuff can be combined with bevel engines.

mmmm let me get my hand lotion...
yeah, the beveltech is incredible.
Can't imagine why the one with a Monster tank badged VeeTwo would turn out so ugly unless it was VERY mid-project. (There are wires dangling off the motor)... Seat fitment is poor too.
that's a good point, but i guess you have never owned an older duc. all of mine have had shit hanging/falling off of them...
i have a GTL that I love. when i bought it, i rode it off planning to ride it home (like 20 miles). about halfway there, one of the damn cylinders stopped firing, which on that bike is a pregnant dog since it's 180 deg parallel.. it would start up while on the kickstand, but then stop firing when i started riding.
i got it towed, and after banging my head trying to figure out why one cylinder wouldn't fire unless it was on the kickstand.
there is no kickstand switch.
goddam points had disconnected and were grounding when it was leaning. it took me 6 goddam months to notice it was swinging (cause whenever i looked up there, it was leaning against the frame.. [bang] [bang] [bang]
The guys over at Big D Cycle were telling me that "part of the joy of owning one of our beautiful classic triumphs or nortons or tritons is that you get to play 'where did that part go' when you arrive at your destination". - That, and the opposite shifting.

The one I see out on the streets every now and then is white. I guess I've seen them in red, but what I really liked about the one I posted was that it was a deep dusky red as opposed to the more orange-red of the one you posted. I'm sure they are the same color, just with different lighting.

no problem, he has done a couple other ducs that aren't on the site that are pretty cool. Although all of his bikes tend to be somewhat similar.

Did these four cylinder Benellis ever make it to the U.S. or were these for Europe only?
504 Sport
(http://www.benelliclubgb.net/images/for-sale/mbrown354.jpg)
354 Sport. I like the fairings, looks like they came from a first generation Moto-Guzzi Lemans. That has to be one of the smallest sized four cylinder engines. I know Honda made a CB350 four.

A 250 4-cylinder:
(http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/Gallery/Benelli%20250%20Quatro%2075.jpg)
IIRC, Benelli only had a short run in the US, around 76-81ish and haven't been imported since. They were pretty small even in Italy.
Very cool. I've seen pics of the 250 4-cylinder racer.
(http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/benelli_250_carruthers.jpg)
I saw a few of the small 4's in Italy at swap meets. I don't know if they were originally street models or not, all of them were done up in race kit. My gut feeling is that Benelli was so small back then that they didn't have a "corse" division, they just built stuff -- for street or race.

It would be substantially heavier than the alu pulleys and rubber belts though, right? I don't think you would be able to make the pulleys aluminum and survive the wear against each other.

top one is a 750.. a twin.. they are very different if you could see the top one's engine
That's what I figured, but having to only see the single in the foreground, with identical paint and minor other variations, I had to wonder what was going on.
Was the single available in that color scheme from the factory?

Sport-Classic 2into1 exhaust (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Udx79vDqnE#normal)
Very cool exhaust on that red Sport Classic. It reminds me a little of the Road Racing exhausts for Monsters that were out several years back. The exhaust exited on the other side though.
The Red Sport Classic looks like it has a wet clutch. I never knew they came with wet clutches.
paul smarts are dry i believe. the rest are wet at the dealership right now, iirc.
Look closely at the red bike. Somebody explain to me how gears are shifted. [cheeky]
I thought that was weird too, but I'm not nearly as knowledgeable as a lot of the ducatista around here. Is it a DS1k? It looks like the S2R800 motor to me, but like I said ^

the first year or two of SCs came with a dry clutch and then they changed them.
Here is what I see after looking over some pictures. If it is a Sport Classic and has one shock it had a dry clutch. If it has two shocks it has a wet clutch.
Good info trav, I had always assumed they were dry clutch bike because they were dual spark 1000 motors

I too always thought those tanks were weird looking for the sake of being funky, but evidently there was logic behind that shape. From the SVRider's forum,
"This is called a "Jelly Mold" tank. It's design allows the rider's arms to tuck in to the molding on the sides of the tank. The indentation on top allows the riders chin to get lower on the tank. The brackets on top are for mounting a tank pad for the riders chin."

common feature on the old fibreglass-tank bikes. a clear strip on the side.
those tanks are increasingly unused because of the ethanol gas in the states -- the fibreglass clouds and then dissolves with exposure to ethanol. imagine that for your >$50,000 restored bike

Say what? Give us some history please.
125 GP: The Rarest Ducati (1966)
This competition engine will always be remembered as the first and only in-line 4-cylinder engine and the first with 4 valves per cylinder in Ducati's history.
The 125 cc in-line engine featured timing that was controlled by a gear train and 4 spring-loaded valves per cylinder (!). Needless to say, Desmodromic timing was considered to be inapplicable to cylinders with a unit capacity of just... 31cc!
Despite the refined design work, the engine produced a "mere" 23 HP at 14,000 RPM: not enough to contest the brawn of the 5-cylinder Honda with its 30 HP.
This prototype was track-tested only (by Franco Farnè) and never went into production, becoming instead a display-case oddity to be exhibited during trade fairs and other events.
Technical specifications
* Engine: across the frame, in-line 4-cylinder, twin overhead camshaft, air-cooled.
* Cylinder capacity: 124 cc; (34.5 x 34mm).
* Compression ratio: 12:1.
* Timing: four valves per cylinder, controlled by a gear train (non- desmodromic timing).
* Fuel feed: 4 Dell'Orto SS1 carburetors.
* Gearbox: 8 gears.
* Maximum power: 23 HP at 14,000 RPM.
* Maximum speed: 200 km/h.
Very cool. Thanks for the info.

I take umbrage at that characterization! The Alazzurra was a "perfected" Pantah, IMHO. Look at all the Pantah bikes and compare them to the beauty of the Alazzurra -- best thing that happened to Ducati, style-wise, was being bought by Cagiva when they were.
The Ally has a Pantah TL frame, forks, wheels and brakes, but completely restyled tank, seat and fairing. Not to mention they ditched the Nippodenso coils and fixed the wiring.
350 cc is a dog though. Unless you love Allys (I have 3, kill me) I would pass.
It's a beautiful specimen tho.

250cc Benelli - Double Overhead Cam
This bike was designed in 1936 and one like it won the 1939 Isle of Man TT. During the war, the Benelli factory was destroyed and the surviving machinery was carted off by the Germans. So, after the war they had to race the same bikes, but did so with great success. In the 250cc world championships, they were 2nd in 1949 (the first year there was a ‘world championship’), 1st in 1950 and 3rd in 1951, even though their rider was killed half-way through the season. Benelli then withdrew from racing until 1959

Technically I don't think the Apollo was either a Desmo or a sedici ... and I am not trying to be a smart arse but I did get a laugh out of the suggestion that the predecessor for the Desmosedic MotoGP bike was designed as a competitor to Harley.

According to the article in Motorcycle Classics, "the inability to source tires capable of harnessing such a big-engined and heavy bike deprived 1960s bikers of the thrills of riding the first of the next generation of 4-cylinder sport bikes." It could have been a success and it would have made Ducati a different company for better or worse. I like seeing points like that in history.
"one half of the engine would, and did, provide a superb basis for a range of 90-degree V-twin models. Five years after the Apollo project's demise, Taglioni proved the worth of that assertion when he designed Ducati's first OHC 750 V-twin, closely inspired by the Apollo's architecture."

The deep sump on the blue/gray bike above doesn't look as cool as the Guzzis with the shallow sump. I assume this one is a newer engine
Where are are these cool looking Guzzi's hiding?. I only see one clapped-out Guzzi every couple of years or so. Even the local Moto Guzzi/Triumph dealer only has one used California model. I've never seen a cafe racer styled Guzzi in real life. They must all be in Europe.
other than never seeing them well done in person, they are also yawn-a-thons to ride.

That obviously gets ridden hard! Look at the chicken sticker on the front tire!
That deep sump does look terrible, the guzzi motors remind me of an automatic transmission with two growths, one on either side. That being said, I can still get behind a lot of these customs.

i have to disagree, they are great cruisers and have similar engine pulse characteristic to a Duc twin. great low end power. that being said, most of the older ones were designed as cruisers with appropriate gearing and ergos. i've ridden an 850 cafe that was tuned and very hot.
the engine has a VERY low center of gravity and the jugs make it 100% balanced. the big-ass single plate dry clutch absorbs a lot of vibration too.
they CAN be pretty heavy, but it depends on the year. they started using a lot of aluminum in the later models (90s) and got lighter.

I like Guzzis .... I've ridden a V11 and they are, well, different. The V11 I rode was not the best handling bike there is, but the roar, the vibration; the bike was almost primeval, pulled like a train. They turn heads too. Guzzi riders are usually wrenchers, and the V11s are not difficult to work on, like Monsters.

I don't know about the older ones, but my Griso is definitely not a "yawn-a-thon" to ride. It is heavy, and is for sure different than a Duc, but it is still a blast to ride. [thumbsup]
I also get a shit ton of compliments on it... [bacon]
The problem with Guzzis is there aren't a lot of good dealers around, so you don't see a lot of them on the road. We're lucky to have one of the best dealers/shops in the country here in Seattle though. :)

+1 I love it. I like the unfinished look and the beautiful red frame/swingarm contrasting with the raw unfinished tank. I'd slap a round headlight or a V-rod headlight on it and call it a day.
It did have a monster headlight at on point, seems to be an ever-evolving bike, here's the build, kind of in reverse.

Any problem posting your own bike?
This is a 74 750 GT built to sport specs and modified with Imola bodywork and a few ride-ability upgrades.
Front brakes and rotors from a 996, works suspension components, Borrani wheels and custom curved Conti pipes.
I bought it as a basket case and rebuilt it over a three year period.

appears to me that the fly landed in the resin in the mold and was trapped by the cloth.

How many of you would have demanded a new tank? [evil]
Get you some gear gazers, son!
Don't like gear gazers and are you guys kidding me? does anybody know the significance of the fly? ;D
not a clue over here. I always thought gear gazers were really neat - watching the bevel gears mesh.

And you had that 'fly' painted in, right?
The first thing I thought of when I saw the fly was a urinal...
That is one effin pregnant dogin bike man!!!! As much as I like the newer belt drive motors, nothing says DUCATI to me like a bevel drive. Gorgeous.

as long as the tank retained it's size/shape and was sound, i'd just consider that fly a permanent guest from bologna.
the real question is : how do you ride it? fibreglass tank + E10 gasoline = dead tank.
do you have non-ethanol gas by you?
E10? That'd be nice, but isn't E15 just as prevalent now?
I'm afraid we digress.
In 1973 cycle world tested a 750ss,to their amasement their was a fly embedded under the resign,in the clear fuel stripe, that fly & machine became "Legend".....Cook Nielson,s preproduction 750ss also carried this distinction......!

Close but not exactly:
In 1974 Cycle magazine (not "cycle world") editors Phil Schilling and Cook Nielson got two of the original, yet to be released, SS 750s and decided to go racing.
Their escapades with racing the Ducatis became legend â€" they went on to win the 1977 Daytona 200 on a modified '74 750 - "Old Blue" (at that time it was called the "California hot rod"). One of the photographs published of the bike build showed the fly entombed in the fiberglass tank - and the legend of the fly grew from there.
I got an email directly from Cook Neilson during my restoration and search for historical tidbits:
As I recall, the first 750SS that showed up at Cycle Magazine was the one with the fly in the fiberglass. Back then, the fuel tanks had sight gauges on both sides of the tank; the fly was cast into the sight gauge on the right side of the tank, clearly (and embarrassingly) visible to Phil and I and all our friends. As the years rolled by, all of our fuel tanks were repainted in one scheme or another. So somewhere out there the fly still exists. I don't know if Dale Newton's estate still has it, or if Fred Fitzgerald (the current owner of Old Blue) has it, or if somebody else has it and doesn't know. In any case, diligent searchers will have to sand the tank down to reveal the original sight gauges. Happy hunting! --cook neilsonThe fly on the tank of my 74 750 special is a small nod to Phil, Cook, Old Blue, and the Ducati racing heritage.
cool story man, and really f'n cool bike!

i would totally take it just for the rareness factor.
back then, they were trying to ape Honda, if you squint from a distance you can see it looks like one of the old 750 cruisers.
the chrome on the engine and parts was SHIT. Iv'e never seen one that wasn't flaking like crazy.
Jeff has one at his AMS shop in Alvarado. Y'know, it looks like it would a pretty fair grocer getter. Interestingly, the fender/rear wheel clearance looks HUGE for that style bike.

well duh, how do you think you'd fit a 300-series tire on it otherwise?
FYI the frame is nearly identical to the Cagiva Elefant, with the square box frame and 2-piece cradle. I bet it's the same except for a bigger angled neck.

Good call. It is nice to see this project again. What kind of swingarm is that? They just need to put a round headlight and a Monster tank on that bike and it would be ascetically complete.
BTW, I don't think I've ever even heard of Deem before. I'll have to do a little research.
It's a Ram mag swingarm, there was more progress posted today, I agree about the headlight, sadly it's got full fairings

Morini 500 Sport, heavily modified. Noticeably, the exhaust is quite absurd, chopped frame and (what looks like) a hand-cut clutch cover with an NCR dry clutch (they also made aftermarket dry clutches for Ducati bevels).
Also, the beer can being used for the crankcase blowoff.

Inspired by some of the bikes above...
I know that I'm in the minority, but I like the way my desmoquattro motor looks, and I sure would like a tank that gives visibility to the entire vertical head. The cost would be astronomical though.
Maybe a 748/916/996/998 tank would work to show off the top head if you left the side panels off

I see lesser brakes than the real thing should have, a little piece of tube towards the back that I assume is trellis which should'nt be there and the swingarm is the plain jane type I have.
Yeah, forks, rotors, wheels, hugger, pipe routing, sprocket cover, rearsets, monster swingarm, ... Proportions look close, but the body itself looks slightly... off. i stare at an actual desmo every saturday at the shop during burga time.

Definitely not a 900.
Look at the clutch.
That's a Paso 750 engine (or early Elefant 750)
Dry clutch with rhs clutch slave, and there is no way in hell someone got 900cc (or close to it) out of the 750's geometry. Crank is too small and no more room on the deck to bore the cylinders. I think the biggest overbore is 780cc, which was a DP/Ferracci P/C kit.
I bet this was originally a 750SS with the wet clutch and they blew the engine or wanted a dry clutch. Easier to buy a used Paso 750 engine off ebay (or marktplaats.nl) and bolt it right up than modify the crank to accept a 900 clutch.
Sexy.
Not a 900.

I'd love to see more angles of the black Super Sport above. I'd like to see the side view and also see what kind of headlight is on there. Awesome looking tail section. What kind of swing arm is that?
Pretty sure that swinger is from a Paso.

Yep, that eccentric is right from the Paso 750 which sort of closes it for me that the engine is from a Paso 750.
The shock has some custom linkage at the top. BOth the Paso and Elefant had very cool rear suspension. That's not a Paso shock, I can say that.
Looks like they shaved a good bit of metal off it too.
So looks like an SS top/frame and a Paso 750 bottom/rear.

It's plenty high, but the SSS rearstand makes it even more pronounced.
I do love that S2R swingarm mated to the the SBK frame.
Hmm, a rad bike not in a 999 frame, that's new. Looks like a 1098 with custom sub frame.
a SBK frame with a DS1000 engine? seems like a waste. it looks awesome tho. rad = kewl.

I'm not sure why people create air cooled Ducati race bikes. Is it because they fit into a certain race class.
I like the SBK frame air cooled Ducati engine combination even better as a naked bike.

I guess in this case the reason would be because thats not an SBK frame it's a custom frame made by radical ducati for their kit bikes
(this is one of their kit bikes)
I did read that it was a custom made chromoly steel frame. I'm no expert, but it does look just like a SBK frame, doesn't it? It gives me hope that I can create something similar using a SBK frame in the future.
Yeah, it's nearly identical to the current gen SBK frame. This can be done with a stock superbike frame.

I have seen this one in real life and i think it is one of the ugliest ducs (look at those mirrors )
I definitely prefer the looks of the white-framed, red 851 above. The multi color 851 looks like a police bike with those mirrors.
the tricolore has a lot of things you wouldn't like such as the standard forks (Marzocchi M1R's) and the funky unobtanium rotors. the mirrors are only the tip of the 'berg for me. the 2-piece wheels are very light but are well known to make the beast with two backs up royally with any abuse, same type as on the 900SL
the red model is a end of series model, I believe, with USD type Showas, and modern-style rotors, not to mention the updated seat/rear/side fairing setup on the full-red model.
i wouldn't kick the tricolore out of bed though. i think you would be shelling out about $30K for that bike right now. the red one less, maybe no more than 8-10k.

It may not be that exotic, but there is something I really like about this Guzzi V11.

I am definitely becoming more and more of a fan of Guzzi bikes. They look so beefy!

I dig the new Benellis. They just need more buyers and dealers to get going. A few more years of refinement would be nice. Ducati is really the only Italian bike you'll see on the streets. Benellis are limited to the internet or magazines.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the exposed vertical head!!! WANT!! [evil] [drool]
Now they need to re-route the fuel lines and wiring on the right side and cut up those CF belt covers to expose the mechanical goodness beneath!

I agree, I love the look of the exposed vertical head, and wish I could find a fuel tank for my bike that would do a better job of this.
However, I think what they did to "supplement" the rear half of the frame is ass ugly, and doesn't mesh with the factory frame layout at all...

Make your own? When I saw it, it looked like a bored and stroked 916 motor with a missing piston and cylinder. Wikipedia says it's displacement is half of that of a 1098.

Not so straight forward. IF you look at the top of this photo, you see something weird where the top crank rod would be -- it's a balancer. There is a sort of half-rod riding on the journal which connects to it.

Call a dealer and see if they have a catalogue for it. If they do, you can order it if its in stock. I have euro-spec bikes and they ahve the catalogues for them.

I think the frame is the stock frame. The body work is smaller which makes the engine look bigger.

You are quite right. According to the article only the engine and most of the original frame are left over. It's pretty much a total custom job.

the forks look original, hard to miss those 38mm tubes, but the swingarm looks like it's from a Pantah, wheels, brakes, etc..
i wonder what the electrics are? the original nippodenso setup was SHIT.
no idea on the tank. the exhaust looks amazing, i would love to do that on my bike.

I saw it on Ebay 2 years ago! I have a 10-bike limit. Wifey said I can have another if I sell one. I promised to SELL TWO and she wouldn't budge and let me pull the trigger on it. I slept in the doghouse for a few nights. I went up to NY and checked it out even, I desperately wanted it. WANT. I got the name of the buyer and he is a good guy. Maybe someday:

it's nice, but it's been done. 750SS converted to a cafe racer w bump seat. they should have done something more with the exhaust, they just used slipons and the stock header. i like the change in look with the headlite, but it looks like just a monster up front. forks are cool too. also move the oil cooler to under the frame to reduce the effect.

I'm building a shop in the back. Once the kids are a little older...
This is the last build I did, but it's been >8 years now. I like replicas
The forks are not real magnesium. I took a regular set of Marzocchi 35s and had them pc'd to match the color. I just couldn't find them and when I did, they were ridiculously expensive.
The engine is actually a 650 with the external parts correct. The clutch was the hardest to source, that's from an Elefant 350. Same with the calipers. Regular F08s recoated. Fairing and tank came from Mario Sassi, the exhaust headers are original and refinished, megaphone is custom made. The tip has a set screw so you can take the end out and add packing to make it more streetable. Wheels are regular FPS painted to match the forks (as original, but not magnesium). Seat came from ebay, frame is a ground up build to copy the Verlicchi.

on the work bench. by the time I sold it, i had put cam oilers in, which is also not original but helps the engine immeasurably.
EVERYTHING was hand-soda blasted and polished. that clutch cover was originally black.

i'd really love to do a "real" TT2, meaning use the real magnesium parts etc but the forks usually for 4-6 grand when you can find them. same with the wheels, and if you buy used ones, there is no telling what condition they are in. the old -school mag wheels are occasionally compromised and break. the weight difference was about 7-8 lbs iirc. using the 650 engine actually made the engine a tad lighter as the jugs are thinner and lighter. the real TT2 also used oddball 81mm jugs which are unobtanium (of course one can bore an 80mm set). but i was fine with using the 650.
i picked up most of the engine parts while in italy on several trips.. wife and i used to go there a lot - BK - before kids -- and I would always hit the "Scambios" and buy stuff.. It is absurd to buy things like dellorto carbs off ebay for 350-500 when you can get the same thing at a swap meet for 75-100 euro.. it's worth it just for the trip to italy..
anyhow.. i miss that bike, i only kept it for 8-9 months before selling it.
Sweet TT2 ducatiz. Must have been hard letting her go. Looks like a lot of love went into her.

TT2 replica to be fair. Lots of differences, but I tried making it as close as possible. It was hard letting that bike go, but I have a "10 bike limit" rule, thanks to the Mrs... and the buyer made me an offer I couldn't refuse -- no, not a horse head.

it's nice, but it's been done. 750SS converted to a cafe racer w bump seat. they should have done something more with the exhaust, they just used slipons and the stock header. i like the change in look with the headlite, but it looks like just a monster up front. forks are cool too. also move the oil cooler to under the frame to reduce the effect.
I've seen the converted 750SS done before too, but I think the Wrench Monkee version just comes together well. Most of the others I've seen just don't look as right, sort of like this one... :P

I actually have a spare tank off a '92 with the "pip" gas vent instead of the bar type on the '94 and up....
...and a spare frame that has been rewelded (head crack) and lightened some...

QuoteS4RS, 1098S "Mako"
Hi,
the Monster got its genes back: derivied from an 851 superbike ,it got a Fullfairing and a Monoseat back. The Tank remained as the "monster" part on it.
Fairing is an adapted `78 TT1 Hailwood , Tail is a '72 Imolastyle mutation over the years from my first '78 bevel SS, but recognizable , as I think.
the 1098 is a last the same story : `78 TT 1 fairing bottom merged with a 1098 top and adapted `72 Imolaseat and a Streetfighter Tank, which is the "monsterization" for the 1098.
The modern project was done because of aerodynamic malebehaviour of the oldstyle S4RS : there is not enough downforce on frontwheel at topspeed and analysing the overallsituation I found the seatposition to be to low and to far backwards, so more or less I was forced to set up a new bike, which should be even advanced in respect to aero and massforces compared to the base 1098.
hope you accept this.

How "cool" this is will depend on your taste, but it was at the Rock Store on Monday. Apparently, the owner did this to his brand new 'tard. I thought it had been a salvage project =)

Should be seeing photos of bike and rider on rockstorephotos in the next day or so, and I'll post.
I think I like the headlight, need to see some other angles though.
Not sure this one hasnt appeared earlier in this topic, but I thought this makes a nice comparison with the chopped up 'tard above.
This one I'm sure I like ;D (though I would prefer at least a vestigial front fender)

I share with all of you one of my dream bikes. I plan to make a replica of this bike when I have collected all the parts. I have a special bin in my garage of parts which are going to this build. I might have to have some fabbed, I guess.. Trying to avoid that route.
These bikes are street legal, more or less.

Alas, this is a Honda CB360 sporting a Benelli tank. I am not trying to bust anyone's chops, but I remember this build from another forum.

What make is this bike? It looks very British.
It is a Velocette Viper. Very cool and very brittish.
I watched Dave Roper on an early 60's 500 make some modern riders look very slow on one at NHIS a few years ago.
Uh, yum. [drool]

Ducatiz, good luck with your project. It looks like an awesome goal.
I know Laverda's should be orange, but I seem to prefer them in any color other than orange.

My bad. With a name like Velocette I thought it was Italian. Didn't think to look it up. Still cool though.

Thanks,
I guess dp could have told me too. There is a link to his site on Walt's site
I've a sudden desire to take a bevel-head and try and make an air-cooled superbike out of it.
Put it in an SBK frame, give it injection and an airbox, top-flight suspension, etc...
I second this motion
Those Walt Siegl bikes are even better in real life, including the Harleys.

Found the answer (http://motorbike-search-engine.co.uk/classic_bikes/condor-classic-motorcycles.php). Google is my friend.
"Despite the fact that it says Condor on the motor, it is a Ducati, the Swiss Army would only buy Swiss machines, Condor were the only Swiss manufacturer, they couldn't build enough of the right type, so they got Ducati to build them for them and re-badge them as Condors."
Is it Italian though? The Motorcycle Classics article about the Condor A350 is a good read. The frame is Swiss-made by Condor. The engines for these bikes were probably made by Mototrans in Spain under liscence from Ducati. A pretty cool tidbit is that it has a rubbermounted engine similar to a Harley Dyna or Norton Commando.

Factory Oddity: 1999 Monster 900 S - From Italy, Metric Speedometer, with Supersport CR Fairing with Checkerflag style paint on the side (like was on the DP tanks), coffin masters, and has what appears to be a Corbin-style Seat (but from the factory - installed - cant use seat cowl) and had the all the DPM sprocket cover, alternator inspection cover, cam covers, and "DUCATI" cast in the Triple Clamp - came OUT OF THE CRATE this way.
He only has pictures in print form, I'm going to try to get him to ride it up here to take pictures of it.

I like this bike a lot, but what's up with the wheels? If you go to all that trouble you'd think they at least put some sweet, lightweight wheels on it. ??? Even if those are light (and I doubt it unless there some weird material)...the old Duc 3 spokes are fugly. This bike needs BSTs!!

Also has the same Chinese-made rotors that I bought for my bike..: (which by the way are GREAT, but still...)
Maybe since Rad Duc is using them, that's an endorsement of sorts? I can't find anything wrong with them

I just find it hard to believe they aren't using, EBC, Braking or Galfer for their rotors

It's true I do have a hard on for Moto Guzzi. I love the visual presence of the cylinders sticking out from the frame. They make awesome cafe racers. Too bad they are so rare here that I only see one on the road every couple of years and then it is probably some clapped out touring bike. I'm constantly on the look out for the right one for sale.

Love the pantah race conversions, although I would swap the 5-spoke FPS wheels for something a little more sturdy. Those are 2.15" in the front and 2.5" in the back (90 and 100) and the wheels are pretty heavy.

Too bad they didn't make a slimmer version with a Jota motor.
Notice how high in the frame that engine sits?
Same bike, slightly different angle.

Guzzi Quattro Cilindri (lit. 4 cylinders).
Moto Guzzi 4 cylinder racer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ0vhIDOwCo#normal)
This page
has a bit of info (http://www.labellehistoiremotoguzzi.info/dotclear/index.php?post/1952/Quatro-Cilindri-%281952-1954%29) (in French) and lots of photos.
Some more info from this
forum (http://www.z-italia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=68583) (in Italian). As part of their drive to make the bike as aerodynamic as possible, Guzzi decided to drop carbs in favor of indirect mechanical fuel injection (back in 1953!!!).
From these
photos (http://picasaweb.google.com/f.kruishaar/ClassicRacing_2#), it appears there was also a single cylinder 350cc (later 500cc) bike with a similar (beaked) fairing.
Although I love many of the current and recent bikes Guzzi has made, it saddens me when companies that used to be such innovators end up repeating the same old design. The expression "polished turd" comes to mind.

Well yeah... sometimes the price of doing things differently is that they don't work as well. ;)
But I do agree that it would be neat to see companies throwing out a greater variety of ideas. Though I don't know if you can really say whether current racing governing bodies rules have stifled innovation, they certainly redirect it to different areas. It's been a while since you've seen anybody say "make the beast with two backs it, we'll just add another cylinder or two, and while we're in there make 'em ovals!"

ooo oval pistons with 2 con rods each

Apparently only 500 were made and only 200 of those still survive today. I still wish I could have bought one.

We've got two of these tiny john deere colored GP bikes at the shop. I can't sit on one without bustin' the pegs clear off, I think. Teeeny tiny.
100 years ago I raced a tiny Moto Minarelli.... this one in fact...

The other Italian bike in that photo is an MBA Morbidelli 125. A thing of beauty. Here's a better picture of another one..

Some Painter of Ducs just went out and did one?
Actually that one was done about 5 years ago.
The bike was pretty cool.
748 with carbs, single front disc, custom frame and swingarm, custom exhaust, with the radiator under the tail.
It was eventually changed back to injection. It never ran right with the flatslides, not because of the flatslides, but more due to lack of tuning I think.

That is an interesting frame on the Tiger Monster. It is a Monster frame, but with a custom Superbike-like connection to the rear of the engine. I never noticed that before and I've seen pictures of that bike for years.

I'm surprised he didnt paint the exhaust with stripes. I think there's a full write up on the bike on tob, might shed some light on the frame.

Anything to stop that tail from wobbling.
I've gone on many a ride with the tigerbike and the swaying of the tail...
So... mesmerizing... must... stay... focused... on... road...
Seriously, the Tigerbike gets more grins and thumbs-up than any other bike I've seen. And while Steve's tiger obsession is a bit odd (okay, it's a cry for help) it kind of overshadows the fact that the bike's had a lot of custom work done.
It's impressive to say the least. Here in Columbia, MO it would go over especially well. Hell, people hang tiger tails out of the back of their vehicles on gameday (or just througout the year :))

Any idea who makes that frame? And why does it extend all the way to the swingarm? The Duc engine is designed to be a frame member.

The superbike frames, and the old MTS (maybe the new one as well), also extend to the swingarm pivot. Increased rigidity I would guess. Pierobon knows what they're doing...they build all of Ducati's race frames, as well as a few other manufacturer's frames. Their frames are artwork.
The track version of the F042 is at the top of my list of dream bikes...right beside an NCR Millona. Boulder Motorsports is the US dealer for them and they had an F042 at the Miller WSBK races this year... [bow_down] [drool] [bow_down] [drool]

Mitt you just became the owner of this thread. Your own pictures of cool bikes at that insane museum. I have some photos I need to convert to dig. from classic bike week shows that may compare. Side note, if anyone is in Detroit check out the Henry Ford museum. Good old bike display but any real gear head worth his salt could spend days there.
I love the Indian escaping from the crate. Also the one with chains.
My Grandfather was a Indian dealer, still some paraphernalia laying around. My Dad was a Ducati Dealer/racer in the '70s and I saved a crate from being sold off. "Don't sell that shit, I'll put it on my wall !

OK, another bend of rules. Not Italian but Euro and definitely cool. Goes with that crazy supercharged Guzzi. This is a tight package. SC'd Jawa thumper, Duc front end, Honda? swinger, spokers. Bonus hard core Duc and Guzzi @ the end.

Ya know, I don't see the allure of that 750. I mean, obviously it's built to be a race bike more than anything, but there isn't a single damn line on it that makes any sense. Aesthetically, that is.
The front is round, the back is square, the underbelly dives down in front....
It's just weird to me.

yes, the F1B has a right side kick because of the exhaust.

Looked at it again this morning and realized that's likely an Aussie sand racer, so there aren't going to be rocks to take out the exhaust header or oil pan. But I do agree on the looks of the under-the-pan vs. over-the-clutch exhaust (though both of my bikes have the under pan header routing :-\ )

same here, it's all you can find for many models.
i like the over-clutch look for so many reasons, it just makes a tighter visual design and allows you to lower the bike some if you want. I know the best exhaust weight distribution is on the bottom tho, and putting that 2lbs of pipe lower MAY make some difference.

MGS01 startup from GuzziManMike @ GuzziRacer.com (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CHTI5fTYus&NR=1#normal)
^^ Those MGS01s are one of the best looking bikes ever made IMO. If Guzzi ever produced it I'd be one of the 1st in line with my deposit (provided it was sub-$20K).
really is a good looking bike.
funny how when people zoom in on old school components (thinking of the brakes on this one), I can here in the back of my head "whaaa whaaaaaaaa" since the OEM components on the latest bikes are so dang good (new brembo monoblocks for example)
really a great shaped fairing and well displayed motor. not just for a goose, but generally.
And if you didn't think there were enough good, inexpensive bikes around:

Shinya Kimura, beyond custom.
It looks just like his previous bike, but with a different engine.
Ya , same but different but brilliant !

I prefer the later model 851, but I would not kick her out of bed.
The 851 line stopped in 1992. After that it was the 888.

Early model 851s had the M1R forks (http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/ducati/ducati_851supeb%20kit%2088.htm) and 16" wheels (well, only the 1987 models on the wheels)
Later model 851s had USD forks (http://www.bikez.com/motorcycles/ducati_851_strada_1991.php) and 17" wheels.
Some other minor changes too.
1992 saw both 851 and 888 models on the showroom floors.

Yeah, I understand all that. The bike for sale is a 92. No more 851's after 92.

Is a Ducati not Italian when it uses a Bosch ignition, a Saprisa generator, and Nippondenso electrics?

Of course it's Italian. Just like the Cagiva Navigator is Italian.

The coolest thing about *that* bike..... someone actually *rides* it.
Moto Guzzi is going to make a Scrambler and a new California model. These were shown at their dealer conference in Monte Carlo yesterday.

Crazy loud. It's the same set-up I had on my Multi rebuild. I ended up ditching the full system headers and replacing the stock udder to cut down on the noise. :P
I read the writeup on that bike. the front is race rains. the rear BST rim is the wrong size and no race rains are available in that size.
ah. well that explains it. race rains will wear out super fast though. :/

too bad this project never worked out, I think it would have been awesome!
Look at the fork lowers, brake caliper mount, gauge location and you have a small peak at the triple as well as the headlight they used (no suspension shock/spring setup behind) -- definitely not a girder. I'm thinking it is just an aerodynamic fork tube cover in fiberglass or CF over Ducati factory parts.
Looks cool. But one tidbit with girder forks that are fully enclosed ala the Confederate's (and something I have built here) -- they can be sensitive to wind directionality depending upon the cross section shown to the wind.

yep 905 is right, he made that badge himself, Kei Hin FCR carbs (39s I think) heads and barrels are from a darmah and have had a fair bit of work, goes like a rocket, but takes some getting used to with the right foot gear change. He bought it as a neglected rolling chassis and after a few years work this is what he ended up with. 99.9% of the work he has done himself.
This is his Pantah that he's had for nearly 30 years, started off as a blue/silver 500 and I think there is fuel injection lurking under that seat.

I usually don't think people should try "cafe'ing" monsters, but these are some good examples. They deal with the angle issue by raising/modifying the tanks position.

unless i don't see something, that tank is in the stock position. the side bumpers sit on the frame in the correct place/angle.
it's either a Roadracing tank or has been cut to show more of the vert cyl.

You could eat off this tire/rotor/swingarm. It's so friggin clean.
this is coming from a guy (me) that has no idea what type of bike that Bimota is, but who would buy a bike, never ride it, and wait till its obviously got a case of the two decades old ugly to sell it? Again, no idea what this bike is, could be a mean machine, but honestly, i was 8 when that was made.

LOL
you never found a bike older than you that you like? interesting.
Bimota is an italian company that uses other company's engines and builds super-duper-awesome racebikes around them. They are similar to NCR in that respect, except NCR uses >only< Ducati mills while Bimota has used Ducati, Kawasaki, and others.
Most of their bike designs are forward looking, and use a lot of features (engine and aerodynamics) that might look weird to someone with only street-bike experience. Race bikes will sacrifice form for function where necessary, whereas street bikes are just the opposite, since most people buy bikes based on looks alone.
Compare the Ducati Paso -- widely derided for its looks -- but the design was an attempt to have a controlled air flow for the engine and a futuristic look. Only now, almost 30 years later, do people appreciate it, probably mostly for nostalgia, but they are much more loved now than years ago.
As far as why he'd buy it and not ride it? Can't answer that. But look in the background. He's got a bunch of bikes, and the Bimota probably wsa the most expensive one. You can expect this bike to sell for >$50k
That being said, you need to get out more... :-)
FYI here is that dude's collection. I'd like to see the Santa Monica and Laguna Seca on the right side row.. [drool]

Alejandro de Tomaso owned both Benelli and Moto Guzzi during that time period. He was determined to sell more bikes. Rebadging made sense. Too bad we never got any of these interesting smaller four cylinder bikes over here.

the guzzis have kickers but not the benelli?
Maybe, but perhaps it is just the difference between an early year model and a later year model. Most likely the blue Benelli pictured above without the kicker is a later year model since it also has disk front brakes. The Guzzi model is probably an earlier year with kicker and drum front brakes.

Is there even any cake in there, or is it just cardboard and fondant like the rest of the "cakes" that are made on TV these days.
Quote from: Travman on May 07, 2011, 04:04:36 PM
Alejandro de Tomaso owned both Benelli and Moto Guzzi during that time period. He was determined to sell more bikes.
I bumped into one of de Tomaso's grand (or maybe great grand) daughters the other day. I was wearing a Moto Guzzi sweatshirt and she stopped me to inquire about it because she so rarely sees one. She told me about growing up and being the only girl in school with Benelli and Guzzi stickers on her books. Insisted on taking a pick of the sweatshirt too...

I remember seeing the cake being cut, the whole top half (seat, helmet, tank) is cake, and the rest is rice crispies and smaller blocks of cake.
This cake reminds me of "theme bikes".
I want a cake that looks like a cake.
And bikes don't need any theme beyond those included with the performance parameters of one's choosing.

same mod was done on later SS bikes. it's a perfect location when you remove the charcoal canister there!
I think it's a perfect mod just for the fact that you get such a large amount of air being forced onto the oil cooler.

i think the main benefit is that it's far from the engine. when it's behind the fairing it actually doesn't have a huge amount of air compared to the head-mount location on the SS -- which was really a compromise as the preferred place is behind the fairing as on that F1 -- the problem was that they needed a place to hide the charcoal canister. of course, everyone ripped that right off. bob miller used to make a kit to relocated the cooler but he's long gone. :-/

Ah. I figured they had altered the nose of the fairing to allow a bit more air to come in. There was a guy with an SC that filled in the headlight space on the nose of his fairing. He then perforated it, and relocated the oil cooler to just behind the screen. He claimed that his oil temps went down by an average of 20 degrees.

probably because you're moving it away from the heat of the engine and adding about 12-16 inches to the oil line more than anything else. think about it.. engine radiating heat-180-200deg on the surface versus ambient 70-80 deg heat in the front of the bike, away form the engine.
hard to say why oil temps go down tho. a new bike will always have higher temps until it breaks in. but it should be cooler nevertheless.
I see what you're saying, and agree, but... My point is that you would have a smoother flow of unobstructed air flow to the oil cooler if it was relocated to the very nose of the fairing AND the fairing had been modified to allow more air to flow through it. Both of these things working in conjunction just brings you double the pleasure, double the fun...

if you can open that fairing up, then yeah. the problem on the SS is the vent hole is small, like 6x0.5" but on the F1 it's bigger, like 2" tall.. a lot more air pulls.. i've got one of miller's kits and will someday put it on the FE...
That's what I'm getting at. The guy with the SC had basically cut out an oil cooler sized, rectangular opening in the (pre-filled) fairing nose. From there, he put some screen mesh over the new hole and popped the cooler right up against it.
You can see it here. He had painted the number scheme on it by the time this pic was taken.

This mildly customized Cagiva Alazzurra just sold on ebay.
The list of mods is fairly short, but the guy did it so well it comes across looking amazing. It was originally meant as a tourer, but the mods really bring out the sportiness of the bike.
for those that don't know, the Alazzurra is a restyled Ducati Pantah created when Cagiva bought Ducati and tried to kill the Ducati name on touring bikes. However, Cagiva restyled it so well that it is actually considered a more attractive bike than the Pantahs, but since it has the Cagiva name, they never sell for as much.
I have 2 Alazzurras (well, three if you count the frame, engine and summary parts from the 3rd one I bought and disassembled). I love them, they ride well even with modest power (55hp). The engine is a 650cc L-twin, the poppa of the 900cc desmodue of the 90s.
The last Alazzurra was made in 1987 and then the Sport 750 came out, then the 900 SuperSport (1990).
My second Alazzurra is in need of work, mostly cosmetic. I've decided to duplicate this bike, I can't stop looking at it.

that exhaust is just amazing. i wonder what that line off the top is? can't see where the hose goes.
dry clutch on a squarecase = badass. NCR made that kit, it is like $3k now.
That is a vac line to the crankcase to pull vacuum. The "module" right after the venturi (pipe that is welded to/extends into the exhaust stream) is a check valve.

Those pics speak volumes. Pure bike. A motor and what goes with it... nothing more. [thumbsup] [Dolph] [wine]
It used to be a TT2...
First off, the motor isn't the original at all. See the oil lines? There were none on the early 600 box. That's a Paso 750 case with a wet clutch from a later model. The TT2 case was polished, not black, so even that clutch isn't original. The jugs and heads look like they are from a later model SS or M750. Paso heads are unique with black coating and gold valve covers, unless he's changed that. I wouldn't because the paso's pistons are 10.5:1 and very nice.
It looks like all that's left from the TT2 is the frame/swingarm, tank and fairings. Everything else looks borrowed. The wheels were one of the biggest draws to the TT2 (magnesium?) as well as the forks (also magnesium). He's put on regular old 17" 3-spoke brembos and aluminum/steel M1R forks from a Paso.
Nice job, but to call it a TT2 is reaching.. FAR..

I will be putting a copy of that exhaust on my Alazzurra project... That silver one that sold on Ebay really pumped me up.
The one on this bike is not the same as the Conti on the TT2, this is a Bub. I am using a copy of the Conti from Mario Sassi except in stainless.

That Alazzurra is really a nice looking bike, unique too. The stainless exhaust will look good and provide a some contrast to the all black engine. Good luck with the project.

I'm going to have the seat redone to make it more of a "bump" seat since there is no passenger pegs or bars. I was thinking to have the exhaust coated black though, I like the blacked out bottom, but I might change my mind. It's a racing exhaust though and isn't the prettiest...we'll see

There's ceramic coatings that hold up quite nicely. :)

Yes, but I recommend those that have the highest temperature rating. The coating on my headers are rated to about 1300 degrees, but it's flaking up near the exhuast ports.
Quote from: Speeddog on June 20, 2011, 08:32:40 AM

I had my 'tubes delivered with a matte black ceramic coating, and while they still look good, years of action have introduced stains and abrasion of the coating, especially the front header immediately behind the front wheel.
I haven't seen glossy ceramic coating before. I'm interested to see if it would be any more or less durable, or stain resistant, than the matte ceramic coatings...
Its not really a gloss. Most use a clear coat which gives a somewhat glossy shine. The fact its a second coat might help tho.

Seeing Ago on the MV hauling ass and hearing that exhaust song would just kick ass. Hope those folks appreciate seeing that in person. [popcorn] [bow_down] [bacon]
The MV was ear-splittingly, gloriously loud going by at full song.

plus, anyone with their blog site pasted on their motorcycle.... [thumbsdown] x2
ok, just to name a few from this photo angle.
the swingarm looks janky and barely held in place. Cant put my finger on it, but its not right.
The swingarm appears to be longer than it need/should be
The complete lack of any clutch cover whatsoever adds nothing and looks unfinished.
while I like the design concept of piecewise exhaust pipes, this one is of a terrible design.
It looks like someone wanted to proudly display the "function over form" but they forgot what the function was and instead you end up with no form, no function.
The aforementioned blog site.
the silly little brake light looks like its just resting on the license plate mount
which itself looks like a broken mudflap pointing straight back like that.
There is no proper alignment between the seat pan and the tank.
Silver some places, black others with no rhyme or reason to it.
please tell me thats not a "missile launch" style switch for an ignition?
back to the seat pan again, its at a different angle than the rear "subframe" leaving an unsightly gap.

that's a stock S2R swingarm. the lack of an udder or exhaust pipes in front of it make it look like it is further from the bike.

Don't forget the lack of a front fender.
The pipes are stupid. You weld sections of short pipe segments because you can not bend the pipe in tight radius or are changing diameters (like a 2 stroke expansion chamber).
There is no reason that he couldn't bend a pipe to that radius (or have it done for the cost of the welding consumables). Even if it is titanium.

I asked because I was curious if it was the seat or the exhaust that you didn't like. It turns out it was both. [laugh]
I agree that the seat does not work. Mainly because it looks tacked on and is not well integrated with the seat. I posted that bike because the exhaust was different/interesting. I kind of like it. Of course it may not be practical.

Imagine the labour cost in a pipe like that. Imagine every time the welder has to correct a mistake. I watched a pipe builder working on Ti once (with a good mask). It was sheer art. A very fine and precise type of welding job for sure.

It's the setup where all the work is, really. Once you've got the pieces in the right orientation, you tack weld them all in place, then go back and do the full seam and knock the tack off. It's not easy, but it's not crazy hard. I have a mig setup so I can't do Ti easily, but I might try someday if I can get hold of a tig

Probably the same reason as why they have the faux patina...
and the oil cooler blocking the airflow to the cylinders...
and zip ties holding the front brake lines to the fork legs...

Conservative estimate is $4k for the suspension bits alone.
The best they can do is untrimmed zipties for the brake lines?

but what does all that have to do with injectors in front of the carbs?
I think what he is saying is that the carbs are just for looks and the injector does the real work?
The oil cooler doesn't really block anything....air goes thru it by design. Air that will hten hit the engine itself, albeit at a slightly higher than ambient temperature.

seems crazy to put FCRs on a bike that isn't using them
i know that Triumph uses a funky throttle body that LOOKS like a carb so they keep the retro look, but using a carb for looks is just nvts..
here is a 100 with the fake carb throttle body

those 5-spoke FPS wheels are on practically every late 70s thru mid 80s Italian bike. I have them on my 81 Darmah, on the 84 Pantah TL .. Ducati used the magnesium version on the TT bikes.
Moto Morini might live on.

I too prefer the Sport 1000 tank, but I think both tanks are way too big. I wish the aftermarket would come out with Sport 1000 tank that was similar in shape, but much smaller. The tank could be made smaller and still hold lots of fuel if it didn't have to accommodate an airbox. The aftermarket tank users could use pod filters.

I don't find the tanks too large... well, perhaps they are a little big. Here is a custom Evan Wilcox tank, but I think the tail needs to be smaller:

too small, as it stands now.

The Cafe Veloce actually started off as a GT1000 according to RD. And I guess I am on the other side of the fence as you guys. I like the profile of the GT tank better, and I own a Sport1000. [laugh]

I wish all of the machines that made header wrap would burst into flame, never to run again.
Taking a major styling element of a motorcycle and wrapping it in some manky fabric so it looks like a second-hand mummy... just slays me.
Back to your regularly scheduled program.
</rant>
I'll agree with you there.
My bike came with wrapped headers. I de-wrapped them and suffered itchy arms (my fault for absentmindedness) all while promising terrible things upon the previous owner if I found the pipes rusted underneath.
I really shouldn't complain, it's not *my* ride. :-\
Glad I'm not the only one who's never quite understood why anybody would wrap exhaust headers in unsightly bandages.
Wrapping serves a practical purpose and can be used to good effect. Yes design is important, but so is not setting your ass or leg on fire.
I think it looks like crap too, unless it's done PERFECTLY and even then, the pipes usually look better. One of my SS came with full wrap.. ugh.. Took it all off and got the headers coated.. Much better.
+1 to Ducatiz's comments. Header wrap has become a little too popular and I see it all too often now, but it does serve a purpose and on certain bikes it looks right. If the bike looks a little rough around the edges like the Grease Monkey style then it can work. On a nice shiney bike like that Moto Guzzi V7 Sport above, it would never work.

Seller says it is 365lbs. That's not hard to believe, the SL was 388 from the factory. It looks like it has magnesium wheels, lighter than the originals, aftermarket triple. Also has short reach manifolds which means either FCR or Dellorto 40 carbs -- and no airbox. Relocated battery (shorai?) and CF exhaust. The fairings are not the original -- the lights are gone, and I bet they are CF as is that seat. No turn signals.

That looks really nice. Well, except for the headlight. ;D Funny though, as I think the headlight looks better on this bike than it does on the new gen monsters.

FYI
As "unusual" as that headlight looks, some fairly extensive wind tunnel work must have been done on that unit, combined with the new-style bikini fairing and mirrors. I first noted this when I test-rode a 696 and had fogotten my ear plugs. My Schuberth helmet (C1 = Concept) had become almost silent at 65 MPH. Amazing!
For the last couple of years I've been tooting around on a T-100 Bonneville. Now, I'm 5' 8+", but my son who is 6' 3" and wears a C2 noticed the same thing when he first rode my 796. Almost silent! The buffeting on the T-100 can also be pretty severe at 70 MPH. On the 796 I'm not even getting half that much buffeting at 90 MPH, which is as fast as I've been while it's still bedding in.
It's still ugly.
;D
there is a whole thread on here about how old lights look better on new monsters, and new lights look better on old monsters, its funny. There are some pictures too, search for it sometime.
that mashup bike is pretty cool... would love to see them make a s4rs into that look.

I've not seen a dry clutch on a Morini, but I am not surprised. Morini is really the half brother of Ducati, factory was only about 10 miles away. Love that 72° engine

These guys made the other 900SS cafe (Union) here:(http://www.unionmotorcycle.com/images/bikes/customs/ducati/ducati_main.jpg)
This is a 93 900SS reworked. The frame is modified from the engine mounts back. Tank is unmodified. I have a 92 900ss tank the vent bump is a little round deal instead of the later rectangular style. I do not like the front at all. The round headlight looks out of place to me on that bike -- it's too small and recessed. I would have used the square original light flush mounted. It reminds me too much of the MH900e which I can't stand (the front of)

Ahhh... no rear brake? ???
Ducatiz, I love it. I like the side view of the bike. The fairing is set at a good angle which is matched by the angle of the silver paint on top of the tank and the angle of the Ducati logo. You're right about the little recessed headlight though. It needs to be larger.
Either larger and flush or the original square.
I might have them modify a frame. I really want one of these. Although I am 50/50 about the seat, I might prefer the SL type seat for mine with the Imola fairing.
since we're picking it apart.
I don't like either fender on this bike.

You're right, especially the rear fender. It could just be removed entirely.

they don't bother me so much. i like the front style. the rear i could leave off too, but i assume they built these bikes for riding and without that hugger, the tail is going to look like crap after a season of gravel and crap coming up. BTDT

that desmoquattro head better be supported in some other way besides the studs then, because the engine torquing plus the frame flex is going to yank it off those studs.

278 lbs and 132hp?? FML!
[thumbsup] Well, I am a new member, and have just looked through the whole 102 pages of this thread. I have owned a Jota, a Falcone, a Le Mans, a Griso, a V11, and the odd Benelli, I've realised what is missing in my life. Now, where's that sack with £40,000 in it, so I can get a 750 MV Sport? I can vividly remember seeing a brand new one in a shop in Bradford in the early 70's. It was £2500. Mind you, it may as well have been £25,000,000 as I was an apprentice on £8 a week!!!
Welcome to the madness! [thumbsup] [beer] This is one of my favorite threads. The whole forum is great... members aren't so bad either. [laugh]
What to you think is going on with the oil cooler on the NCR M4? The upper part appears to be the oil cooler while the lower part is closed off with carbon fiber and appears to have a coolant hose coming out of the back.

Just taking another look. I wonder if the headlight bucket and trim ring are made of titanium? Also just noticed that the carbon fiber tail section appears to be removable for a different look.

Hey, so I'm old and slow and my Sport 1000 has the DP "comfort seat" [bang] and high bars. Pry that card out of my cold dead hands junior! [laugh] [laugh] I'm still jonesin' over those BSTs of yours!!! [thumbsup] How cool is that? ;)

I had one of 'em too. Conti mufflers and all :o :).
Never had any trouble whatsoever with the electrics (Nippon Denso gauges worked really well ;)). Mine used to have a semi-regular party trick of ripping the rear sprocket bolts out of the hub. The hub was always fine just sucked the thread clean off the bolts.

Wow, and in this one you can't even see the kickstand.
Those pictures were taken on the Kew Boulevard in Melbourne in the mid eighties. Various poseurs used to hang out on that corner so this kind of stunt was a bit of a "take the piss" sort of thing. (well we thought it was funny anyhow).
We used to do that left foot on the right footpeg hanging off the side of the bike thing and go under carpark boomgates, ahhh the memories...

yup and the front and back wheels use the same hub so you can put that spare on the front or back.
you have to remove the sprocket and the front hub has an axle cap on each side.
those are pretty zippy but way underbraked.
I rode one in Italy, but it was a 190 and had a starter. It was a lot of fun, but it would have been better with a pillion so my wife wasn't riding on the cargo rack. lol.

Dare I say, that is a bad ass little scoot! I wouldn't kick it out of the stable, anyways..
Here is a little more on the Galletto from our friends over at WildGuzzi.com. Notice the cool rooster decal. Galletto means "cockerel" or "rooster" in English.

It is a beautiful engine. I love the way the overhead cams are encased. It looks like you can simply remove the top covers and simply lift the cams right out.

When they were designing their new range of twins in the mid '60s, Laverda looked at which modern twins were selling well. These happened to be Honda's CB72/77 models. So, they copied the general design, and came up with the SF range. I had an SF3 back in the day................Wish I still had it!

I hate you Travman [laugh] ;)
The drum brake is just for the show bike and will never make it to production. The V7 Clubman Racer concept bike was shown at EIMCA in 2009. Then the V7 Racer was actually released in 2010 and made it to the U.S. for 2011. So I wouldn't be surprised to see this version released soon.
Here's a couple more of the same...

Info on that tank? [thumbsup]
in fact the more i look at that. I see Monster, ST4 and SS SL
the headlight looks bad to me. the front reminds me of a 906 sort of, but in a bad way.
Stripped and modded ST4.

I love the new Morini bikes -- is this recent? I thought they were on/off-again in bankruptcy..
I dont think thats recent. I didnt even know they were back in bidness until last month. I read last week that they were sold and are back in business. I have never read anything but praise for their new bikes. I wish they would come stateside.
[evil] I had a demo on a Morini 1200 Corsaro. Bloody awesome! If the dealer network and factory support had been any good, I may very well have bought one. In light of subsequent events, I'm glad I didn't. I do hope that the firm bounces back!
I love the new Morini's. However, I'm pretty sure that they are not coming back to life anytime soon. I wish Ducati made something like their scrambler. Benelli is another Italian maker that is barely alive, but at least they were able to show up at EIMCA with a nice display.

I do too, but the fairing might be too low for the upright riding position. It looks like the wind blast is going to hit you right in the chest and head.

I, uh... hm...
The tail section. What is up with that weird notch cut-out on the bottom?
And, for me, the tank and tail are too small. They don't balance the bike visually. The motor is this gigantic lump hanging below, and the rear wheel/tire looks enormous with that minuscule seat and tail.
. . . .
Also, I just noticed that this is an unfinished bike. Maybe a set of carbs and some exhaust will bulk it up and balance it.

Stopped at a Polaris/Victory shop in Everett, PA. I was glad to see they started carrying Aprilla and Guzzi. I thought both of these were beautiful.

the SS is about 40 lbs lighter than the TL.

It looks like they are using the engine from the 90's era Zane Laverda Ghost Strike 750 and wrapping it in their own frame and then surrounding it with current suspension and wheels. You can see it has the same engine as this Ghost Strike 750.

Ducatiz will be along soon to tell us about its rear shocks ;).
And did I mention about that tiny seat being real suede? 8)
This is a later example, with "MBA" beginning to appear in the badging and with tiny mufflers built into the tail pipes.

Morbidelli was one of a few dozen motorcycle companies in Italy that went south after the Japanese companies started making decent bikes in the late 60-70s.
The shocks are old Marzocchi Stradales. This particular model is actually made from a solid die cast aluminum body, they are very pricey now, used. HIgly prized by collectors.
Campagnolo wheels.. 2" wide I think. The forks are probably Paolis from the look of the triple, but Marzzocchi and Paoli copied each other a lot.

Ducatiz will be along soon to tell us about its rear shocks ;).
And did I mention about that tiny seat being real suede? 8)
LOL
Suede was a good non-slip option. Great for leaning, it gives just enough friction to hold your butt centered.

Cool...? Italian......?
My Dad used to ride well before I was born & gave it away when we kids arrived on the scene around 30 years ago.
Then out of the blue, he decides that he wants to ride again!
Brilliant!
Then I get an email with these pic's attached. Not a bad ride for a bloke who's 65 years old and hasn't ridden for 30 years - I think I'll look into some sort of 'refresher' skills training for him for Christmas, what do you reckon?

Morbidelli....... haven't heard anything about them before.
(http://i755.photobucket.com/albums/xx193/techno_photo/IMG_0740.jpg)
Morbidelli is from my home town (and Rossi's ;) ).
It always was a small shop, and I remember seen them around back them, though not too many. IIRC (I was a little kid back then) Moto Morini was more popular around my area, more then Ducati. Still remember stealing my brother Morini 350cc when I was like 10yo 8)
Morbidelli then converted the factory to produce wood working machines, and were then acquired by the SCM Group.
I worked for them SCM/Morbidelli as a contractor few times while in Italy with my old company.

30 years off of riding?
I'd say basic first.
I think the biggest group of motorcycle accidents are middle-aged men within a mile of their home. Guys who decide to pick up riding later in life and don't have the skills.
Bikes 30 years go are nothing like bikes today, and I would also argue that cage drivers are far stupider and more distracted than they were 30 years go.

Pesaro is a beautiful town right up the road from Rimini -- we vacationed in Rimini for several years, actually a small place north, perhaps closer to Pesaro.
Totally different feel from Emilia Romagna
In the US, most of our vehicle history is in Michigan for some reason and all of our motorcycle companies were in Wisconsin (well Massachusetts too).
In Italy, it is very regional. Bologna of course has Ducati, but also has/had NCR, Italjet, Minarelli, Morini, Malaguti, Marzocchi. Varese has Cagiva and Aermacchi, Milan has MV, Pontedera has Piaggio and Gilera. Pesaro has/had Benelli and Rimini has Bimota.
And that's not even a complete list... It blows my mind how many Italian bike makers there have been.
Bologna (spent 5 years there - University) is certainly the heart of Italy's motor industry (forgot Ferrari, which is like 25 miles from there). Certainly the one which was "entrepreneur driven".
There was a time back then, when people having an idea (and some money to back it up), could build their own dream.
People that were willing to put money and hard work, where their mouth was. People which were risking their own house and personal property to follow their dreams. Nowadays it is harder to find this kind of people, mostly because the market changed.
Compare that to today's CEO/BoardOfDirectors driven industry, where the worse it can happen if something does not go with the plan, is making nM$ instead of 2xnM$.

1. tire needs air
2. what wheels are those
3. is it me, or is the front wheel a 16 and the rear an 18?
4. i wonder if they put a counterweight in for the horizontal rod?
I saw it on a CafeRacerCulture.net. There wasn't any information with it. Those mismatched sized wheels do look a little strange.

The gold metalflake bike is Rich Lambrecht's from DesmoPros cafe 31 bike.
Those pictures are from Ducstock in October at Barber and I can tell you from seeing that bke in person that pictures dont come close to doing it justice.
There's more high tech engineering and mouth watering parts on that bike then you can imagine.
Like the D16rr forks for one thing.
If Im not mistaken thats one of the Bostrom bros riding it.
It's supposed to be a feature bike in the next season of Cafe Racer.
jimi
The D16rr forks do look bad a$$ on that bike. I think that may be the next mod done on my bike. [cheeky]
Just to follow on, Rich Lambrecht is the guy who made the Deja Blue bike, which was a replica of Old Blue, the 1977 Daytona Superbike winner.
(http://www.desmopro.com/images/dejabluealonesmall_la0q.png)
He's also built a smoking 160 for the MotoGiro, a few pictures of which are on Vicki Smith's SmugMug page.
I was fortunate to meet Rich at DucStock and he is an incredibly talented and genuinely nice guy.
He was running around the whole weekend and still had time to BS with anyone who asked about his bike, help with getting all the TTs running, and the thousands of other things that made the weekend go off so well.
Owning a bike he's worked on or better yet built is on my bucket list.

I was wondering the same thing. Of course maybe he built it and found out after there was no class for it.

Agreed, that Morbidelli was an amazing bike and an even better story. How a tiny Italian company came up w a 2 stroke that beat the mighty Japs in the 125cc class was a miracle. The 125 class had been owned by suzuki and honda for 15 years. That 125cc twin was capable of 140mph!
If you guys like crap like this you need to buy this book "Mick Walkers Italian Racing Motorcycles"
Good stuff guys.

I really like the look and it could work for my project bike.

i have the info somewhere but i think of was a frame chop and an old style race seat. the stock frame is kind of wide there...
Yeah, I'm looking for a seat like that, most of the vintage style race seats I've found have too sharp of an angle where the seat pan meets the bubble, I want one rounded like this one, the number plate extrusion is cool but not crucial. This would be going on a 748 mono sub frame which may be a bit narrower (9.5").
Alright, I found some info on it, built by Union Motorcycle Classics, tail is a one-off from Glass from the Past, probably isn't an option for me but at least I came to the end of the research. :-\
How about this seat from Airtech? Will need some modification.
Bonneville / Thruxton Manx conversion
(http://i976.photobucket.com/albums/ae249/Veloce-sa/TB8M2R1.jpg)
I like the look of that one but it narrows so close to the front which would be trimmed back a bit, it's an option, I've been looking at the universal cafe tail from them, seems like it would work I just would like it more rounded where the pan meets the bubble, maybe I could build that up a bit.
(http://www.airtech-streamlining.com/vintage/images/seats/CB75021M%7E1.JPG)
I've never been impressed with Air-tech products.
Do you have a brand recommendation?
Quote from: 1KDS on January 07, 2012, 04:08:25 PM
Do you have a brand recommendation?
Unfortunately they have the best selection just not the best quality.
Be prepared to fill lots of voids in the part, mostly on edges. that are hidden/bridged by gel-coat.
I did a tail for a customer that was totally different shape from one side to the other.
If you don't mind the re-work it's fine.
I haven't seen a lot of alternatives, there are some other manufacturer's but they only make ~5-10 tails, I'm not sold on the shape of that air-tech piece so I will continue to look.
Here's my interpretation of a cafe seat I realise purists wont approve because it's not a single seat but she who must be obeyed likes(http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j350/Nero-92/IMG_0199.jpg)(http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j350/Nero-92/IMG_0200.jpg) to go for a spin occasionally so that wasn't an option
im in the same boat with my wife. I opted for this;(http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i82/realityfooeldme/e83c798d.jpg)
its a stock seat with material added to the front and removed from the back (of the riders portion) to give a flatter section. the passenger area has been cut down about 2" (so the rider has more room to slide back, something I found myself doing often) and then rounded out with about 2.5" of padding. the result is a "cafe" profile with passenger capabilities. of course the passenger sits much higher which can be awkward but for how little that happens its acceptable to me.

Where can I get a seat like that?

So what's the story with that?! As far as I'm aware, they never made it here. Looked it up in Cathcart's book where there is a full B&W snap but no real details. Looks a lot like a Zundapp I had in a 125 Rickman but the hubs, frame and laydown shocks look more like a Maico. I guess most were using radial finned heads in 125's then including Hercules (Sachs) and Penton. A 125 in the woods was near suicidal back then. Don't ask me how I know... ;) The Rickman was replaced with a Maico 250 WR.

Always craved one of these but had a pearl white 750 Paso Limited instead. A client had one and used to torture me with it. ;)

I'd love to know who makes those shorty cans. Marvic (of all companies) is making a set for the Alazzura which should bolt up to that bike, but I don't think they are that short.

[beer] It's the Mandello eagle. All Guzzi's have it, either on the tank, the clocks, the alternator cover, etc, etc. My 1200 Griso even had one moulded into the rear light lens. Classy!

I support thinking outside the box, but the fairing and seat ruin the experience for me.
Maybe dumb questions, but what model is that? Is the frame modified? I love it.

Pantah 500 engine and frame, forks, brakes, wheels.
Aftermarket tank/seat, clipons, gages.
IT's funny to go to all that trouble but to leave the crappy Marzocchi Strada E82 shocks on it... bleh
here's another (that i previously posted) that is the same kind of theme. It might even be the same bike with different wheels given the gages are identical, but i doubt it. shocks are different too, Msr Masscho's has the far superior Koni 7610's

they're all variations on a theme. there is a few of them around. i don't know the exact maker, but it's a 750ss style tank for Pantah.
The one I posted above is a fibreglass tank.

The engine does look too wide and heavy to be on the track. Still it is a cool combo. Probably only one was made.

Yeah, but it sure does sound good whilst performing poorly! [laugh]
??? 1975? The 900 didn't appear until 1980. And where does it say "Bimota"? But I'm being pedantic, the bike looks great. I have always had a soft spot for Beneli sixes, since riding one (a 750) back in the day. I must say though, that I thought it handled superbly, and was certainly not a candidate for the Bimota treatment. But what do I know?

It's a 750 overbored to 900.
I think the fairing/seat was made by Bimota, and the bike was customized by an owner, not Bimota.
I've seen it all over the web as a "Benelli 750 spec Bimota" but since I can only find the ONE, I think it's a one-off.

749 based naked... pretty cool. perhaps they should have removed the tabs on the oil cooler that are going unused since they went to the trouble of removing "some" of the frame tabs (but not all....)
Great execution otherwise.

top and side illumination boxes and a small rear swingarm stand.
You just shop out the stand and background - use a nice green screen type floor and background ?

No. I'm happy with the way the Darmah looks right now. If I was going to make a replica I think I'd start with a much less attractive and probably less expensive 860 GTE like this.

There should be article and review of the RS surfacing in motorcycle magazines sometime in the near future. You'll note a few images of Alan C. on the RS on the Media pages. We've had requests for road-going versions of the RS and we're giving that some thought. It could be done, and we know how we'd go about it, however the costs need to be considered. We're currently looking at another project based on the 1199 platform and may give this priority. On the other hand, we have sold RS kits in Europe and we'll see other RS's out there.

Love the saddle bags on a 750SS. I wonder what the story is behind those. It must drive some people crazy.
[thumbsup]
Considering what that lump is worth, hope he kept the original fiberglass (enthanol-dissolving) tank with the flies in the paint. ;) Considered that bike for ~ 10 minutes before snagging one of the first Silver?Smoke R90S's instead. Whew!!!

Pretty nice, and in very good shape.

Hillbilly frankenstein bike.
"hyuck hyuck.. hey Bubba.. les' put some Lockheed drum brakes with spoke wheels from a Triumph on that ole Dewcawti Pantah 500 frame yew got out back and a chromed tank and bump seat WITH NO BUMP. i got a M750 moter and a megaphone from JC Whitney and we can polish thuh clutch cover and penis-head belt covers and it will look faaaahhhne."
i just don't understand the fascination with drum brakes. those brakes probably predate the original bike by 10-20 years. the 260mm fixed iron rotors on the Pantahs were marginal at best, but the proper route is to go to a floating 280 or even 300mm rotor, not drop down. sure spokes look cool, but they could have just as easily used a set from a GTL with rotors in the front and a drum in the back (or swapped the drum hum with a rotor hub from a 860)..
[thumbsup] Looks like a Fontana double sided 4ls brake. Drop dead gorgeous and very effective. I love drum brakes! The ones on my Hustler work just fine.

On that old bike, it's perfectly appropriate.. the Hustler had them from the factory. Putting them on a Pantah is going assbackwards.
I don't care much for them except as an historical interest on an historical bike. There is a reason they don't use them in SBK/MGP/anything....
[thumbsup] Yeah, I know what you're saying. The ABS equipped Brembo's on my Evo are just awesome, but they look like shit next to a big old drum brake. IMHO. I also think that it very much depends on your age. All of my early riding was done on bikes with drum brakes, discs only just starting to appear, and then only on high end machinery. And those early disc brakes weren't much cop, either!
Mickyvee,
Check out my SL from 1981. THESE cast iron Brembos WORKED! ;) Note how relatively light that front end is. The whole package was ~ 320 - 330 wet. My 796 is better in most respects but not all. A skilled pilot on my old SL could leave many modern Liter bikes for dead TODAY on a nice tight B road or track. http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=50673.msg929505#msg929505 (http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=50673.msg929505#msg929505)

My first bike was a Bronco! I only knew drum brakes until .... 1990??
Here is Curmudgeon's old bike:
(http://gallery.leica-users.org/d/275067-1/Pantah-600-SL.jpg)
Those 260 mm fronts with brembo F05s were sufficient for the bike and with good pads you could almost do a stoppie if you were under 150lbs..
;)
So true..., and in those days 135 lbs + one-piece custom silver/red full leathers and a silver/red Porsche Design helmet! Sadly now, only the gloves and one pair of boots still fit! :( Note that front Pirelli was 10mm oversized. Didn't hinder the steering but two-finger stoppies on request. ;)

So you ran a 100 instead of a 90? That doesn't sound too bad.
The Alazzurras had the same 2.15" front until 85 and then it went up to a 2.5"
One piece silver/red on a silver/red pantah? You must have looked like a suppository zooming down the roadway! [laugh]

The best place for one.
100 sounds right and as you can see, it was a rounded profile like the rear. Sticky and it worked. I was afraid it was going to slow down the steering, but barely if at all.
Everybody's a comedian? 8) It looked cool when standing near the bike. I doubt many got much of a look when we were moving. ;D Wish that German company was still in biz because they made great stuff. Far better than what you see now in race grade. Softer and more comfortable. Perfect fit too if you had someone else measure you carefully. The company was called "Jacky M" with a flying wing logo. Adamo thought it was cool too..., so there! :P

Yeah, by 1981 the discs on Italian bikes worked. My Jota was one of them. I was talking about the early 70's. Discs were crap. Really crap. And that was in the dry. In the wet, they didn't work at all. The only way to stop my RD350 in the rain, was to just use the rear (drum) brake. Loadsa fun!

Those cast iron Brembo discs rusted if you looked at them sideways but worked great. ;) I used satin black Rustoleum applied with a Q-tip on the vent holes and outer edge. The working surface cleared instantly in use anyway.
The first bike I had with twin discs was a 1974 R90S with stainless rotors. They worked OK if not brilliantly.

Well you've done it now ...
Two-day run into (wet!) mountains 18 months ago. My ride was the Morini 3.5 Strada at far right, which another participant had kindly lent me. Same as above, or very close. One owner from new.
(http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-LMsznVQ/0/XL/i-LMsznVQ-XL.jpg)
Apologies for the pic quality. Best I've got. Spent too much time riding.
I had a drum-brake Morini 3.5 Sport around 1978. Loved it. Was funny going back. Motor felt like it came from a lawnmower. Very weird brakes. Same low weight and effortless, accurate steering.
Second from right is another 3.5 Strada, late-version with cast wheels.
Can anybody pick the bike second from left, next to the Pantah?
Thanks for the thread, very enjoyable.
Nice grouping of Italian bikes. That is an awesome friend you have to have to let you borrow his Morini. What is the bike second to the left?

It's a parallel twin of some kind. My guess is a Benelli twin, maybe the 650. The tail and bag of the Pantah are blocking too much, but you can just make out the head.

Yes Travman, a very good friend. Although I wasn't such great friends with the original seat after a few hundred miles.
Little motor spent a lot of time under plenty of throttle and just ate it up. Looking at the shot you posted of the bike on the stand, I am reminded of just how much Lambertini got right with that bike.
And of a few things he got wrong. The side stand bent plenty of frame rails when people put pressure on them. The early inlet manifolds were some sort of threaded extrusion that inevitably worked loose every couple of thousand miles.
But, wonderful handling, superb suspension for a 350 at the time, a 39hp, 100mph engine, and 70mpg (imperial - about 60mpg for you guys in the 'States).

hmm. with that squared off tank and that tail? gotta be something a bit conservative...
can't be an MV. Laverdas had rounded tanks...
Maybe it's an MV.. tail looks like an America.

This one carries a three-quarter fairing added by the PO. Not sure even whether it is from a Laverda. The cover under the seat just carries a Laverda badge and "500".

After I had the Morini, I spent some time drooling over these. Seems funny now.
The 3 1/2 Sport joined us mid-way. Belongs to my brother. He spent considerable time and money refurbishing it and it rides very nicely. Those rearset footpegs should have been on from the first. Instead they just used the Strada pegs and fitted clip-ons. One thing I forgot to mention about these bikes: in Australia anyway, when new they cost about the same as a Honda CB750.
As for the black duck SS above, that is certainly a stunner.

[thumbsup] What a trio! Mondials were world champions, and were incredibly well built. Soichiro Honda was a great admirer. Moto Rumi built their unusual 2 stroke twin so well, it was said that you could balance a coin on the tank at max revs. The Ducati looks like a rare 125 desmo twin cylinder GP racer. All hugely desirable!

Learning about new bikes is my favorite thing about this thread. I'd never seen this Laverda before this picture. I don't think this bike was ever imported to the U.S.
none of the small laverdas were. nor the parallel twin Guzzis. there are so many 100-500cc bikes that never were sold. [drink]

MOTO RUMI. Loudest motorcycle ever. but it is equal to it's coolness
I was at a classic event at Brands Hatch many years ago. John Surtees did a few laps on a 3 cylinder DKW supercharged 2 stroke race bike from the 1930's. If the Moto Rumi is noisier than that, then I'm impressed! It was said, back in the day, that when the works' Deeks were racing in the IOM, you could hear them on the mainland. Seeing as the mainland is 60 miles away, that is LOUD!
I've posted various pictures of cool Italian bikes in various states of decay/restoration I've snapped over the years at a friend's annual "River Fools" party the first weekend in April. He holds the party at the first location of his Moto Guzzi dealership and happens amid a variety of bikes and other stuff he's accumulated over the years. He's got a couple of Guzzi singles (as well as singles by BSA & Harley), but I'd never noticed this one before:

Maybe I should do some research but I bet those bikes they're sitting on are a bit bigger than 250cc. Looks like they are anyway. They look like a forerunner of the Honda DOHC 450cc-500cc engines except I see only one exhaust header. 350cc?? 500cc single?? Just sayin.......

They are not 250cc, they are 175cc bikes. That is a dual cam head single.
That's the front of a factory souvenir postcard. Here is the back:

I liked that one too. I should have known since they are the only ones I've ever seen do the black wheels on a Lemans I.
A few more from Moto Borgotaro. Guzzi's first retro styled bike the 1000s from the early nineties.

The Recycle Monster by Totti Motori. The concept is so close to being cool, but the seat does not look right with the tank. The bike has a broken back look.

I can't be sure, but that looks like a DP foam race seat pad for a 90s 900SS with mono seat. I have one here on my desk [roll] and that seat looks like a 900ss mono cut down to the frame.

You're right. Not really sure why I even posted that one. There must have been something I liked about it. I like the concept of the tank wrapping around the front of the frame, but in reality it makes the tank look huge.
I like the concept behind the fenders, if not the execution.

not my taste. it looks overdone and not well thought out. the engine covering.. meh.. i kind of like the mudguards, but i wonder how useful that is?

Everything was going great! :D
...Until I got to the last picture and saw the exhaust. :'(
Also, while the engine guards do a great job of blacking out the crank case, the "big black boxiness" of them detract from a bike with otherwise nice lines. [thumbsdown]
I'd still ride it. I'd even smile.

Thats only the stock pipes I think... should be a great platform to start modding from I think.
[thumbsup] Before I got my Monster, I had a 1200 Griso for a year. It was a good bike. If it had been 100lbs lighter it would have been a great bike! Way too heavy, but the engine/ transmision package was very impressive.

True indeed. Its easy to forget how much smaller the tank's capacity is than the outside appearance would lead one to believe.

I got up close & personal with one yesterday at my dealer.
My immediate thought was that it really needs gold wheels to make it "pop".
I was there all day and, despite repeated promptings to take it for a test ride, my common sense prevailed and I was content to just sit on it and make "vroom-vroom" noises.
Like Dirty Harry said, "a man's gotta' know his limitations".
Might have been different if it had gold wheels. [evil]

Re:the tank on the bike with the model...
That is an old school chopper trick (frequently used by Indian Larry) in which you cut ovals out of the tank and weld them back in,inverted.Form over function,as you do lose some fuel capacity.
ah, clever!

Yeah, this bike doesn't live up to this thread's theme.
Speaking of themes, this bike is one of those custom theme bikes. And the funny and ironic thing is that the theme is phi, Fibonacci numbers, the golden mean, etc. The large component idea behind that theme is that beauty is found in certain geometric proportions commonly referred to as the golden mean and quantified in whole numbers by the Fibonacci number sequence.
Yet the proportions of this bike are radical chopper proportions, which are the exact opposite of the proportions of beauty said to be in the golden mean.
Or something like that.

You are quite right, red header wrap has absolutely nothing to do with the Fibonacci Sequence.
And neither does the red ceramic coating on the headers of my bike. They have nothing to do with the Fibonacci Sequence.
I have no idea what your point is, beyond some attempt at humor, possibly meant to be at my expense.
Could it be that you have no idea what is meant by mean and extreme proportions and you missed my point entirely?

I call shenanigans on the AL frame. There are still tabs for a battery box (which this clearly doesn't have, and all the stock componentry is still in the stock location. There's also a spot to mount up the voltage regulator that didn't get cut off either...
GREAT bike... Would love to see it up close, but don't put AL frame if it ain't got it....
I'm thinking just that rear subframe . looks like he cut it ... so red is steel and black is AL?

That would be my guess, as well.

Is this a rigid front suspension or is there something hidden behind the small fairing?
i don't see any pivots or levers, much less shocks/springs of any type...
I do like the swingarm and the exhaust, tho I'd probably go with bigger cans.

Wow! The tank and tail follow the Sport 1000 frame beautifully. I like it!
Ugh, I can't stand it. The tank is too long and the shape is nasty. The tail piece is too flat. Also, I understand the the builder is trying to make the exhaust and belly pan look integrated like one piece and it does, but unfortunately it looks pregnant.

agree. the tank and seat would be cool on an ultralight (maybe with a single cylinder?) build, and the engine with the exhaust/bellypan would be cool if it had a beefy tank/fairing/seat to match it.
the front end totally loses me, and ive always hated that swingarm.

Ah, youth... [roll] Glad to hear you still bend that way!
The Pantah seat really isn't that bad; it was the tuck, like the racing 750 snap above which starts to get you after 40ish. Couldn't have done it without fitted one-piece leathers. They gave a lot of back support and helped to hold you upright.

I think those are Avon Distanzias.
They are not very good for dual sport, but for road they probably are ok.

I just went to our Moto Guzzi National Rally in Buena Vista, VA and my Moto Guzzi infatuation is strong right now.

1978 850 Le Mans? Did you ride it? Your "new" bike is nicer. ;D I rode one and bought my RS Motorsport instead. ;)
BTW, there's non-ethanol several places in Buena Vista. Some chute coming off the parkway there, eh? ;)

I haven't ridden an 850 Le Mans, but I will someday. I have a ridden a 74 Eldorado punched out to 950cc. Also I owned a 75 850T for a year. I would agree that my Darmah is a nicer bike than either of the two, but the Darmah is nicer than a lot of bikes. It does some things better than modern Ducatis. I did enjoy both of those Guzzis for what they were good for. They were excellent at cruising the back roads at a relaxed only mildly sporty pace. You could ride the torque and enjoy. They were my version of a cruiser. The 850 LeMans should be a different animal than the two Guzzis I've ridden. The flywheels are very heavy on those bikes, but on the Le Mans it should be quite a bit lighter. We'll see. Have you ridden Le Mans?
I did enjoy the chute coming into Buena Vista from the BRP. I liked going back up even more.
Rode one? See my earlier comment; fell into turns vs the RS Motorsport I bought which also needed a little sorting but Pridmore was making stuff off his AMA-winning Superbike for them. Simply DIY except for drilling the damper rods. Also fitted a CDI box.
Understand what you mean as I have an EFi 865 cc T-100 for cruising. Loads of smooth torque at low RPM. That's a base model Bonneville in your picture. They ARE heavy though. [roll]
Agreed on the uphill. ;) I'm too old to charge DOWN those corkscrews. On one trip back up that hill I encountered THREE Earles fork side hack BMWs charging DOWN that thing at a rate of knots with one wheel in the air! Must have been another rallye in the area and I was tempted to turn around at the top but was already late to meet somebody. :(
Had a 900 SS ~ 1990 so I know how your Darmah goes. Bit slow steering, so you are better off with the wider bars! Switched that for a 600 SL within six months which I much preferred. The NEW Monsters steer like THAT, which was what I was after.
Not so much a bike but...

Interested in this.... See.. back when your Darmah was new.... I bought one. Black and gold 8) Loved it. But it was a close call between buying the Darmah and an 850 LeMans.... I've often regretted that I've never owned a Guzzi despite always desiring one.... yet when it comes to money-handing-over-time I always seem to make an other choice....
Still want a Griso though. But not instead of [evil].

Now, if you remove that fairing, and put a more classical looking round headlight, it almost make the new perfect Monster :D

IIRC it was due to them (Ducati) doubting the single sided set-up could handle to power delivery and be rigid enough.
oh. so now I know.

I found this pic on a thread from Capitol area Monsters and just said.. [drool]
yeah, its a ccol bike [thumbsup]
I never rode an RZ but a friend of mine owned 2 RD's a 350 and a 400 I think. They look a little less glamorus but the engines were fast. I felt like I was getting away with something riding a 2 stroke on the street.

Nice. It looks like a modified S4R to me.
I agree, S4R. Possibly BCR bodywork, wonder how it looks from the side, I bet the tank looks awkward against the frame.

The Ducati was originally purchased in Germany and apparently the manual is in German. Sorry the pictures aren't great but there wasn't much room to get good pictures and it was my phone.

Massimo Bordi:
What motorcycle do you despise? I don't despise any motorcycles, but there are a few projects that were delusionalâ€"such as the Ducati 500 parallel twin. Or the Aprilia Moto (below), which in my opinion was a crude copy of the Monster created by a designer who doesn't understand the difference between a motorcycle and a filing cabinet.
(http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/aprilia_moto.jpg)
Electric motorcycles: Yes or No? The only serious application for a car or motorcycle is the hybrid drive. Other than taxis, buses or other forms of city transport, I don't see electric vehicles as an alternative.
i agree. the Aprilia "Moto" is not so awesome. Its seems to be half-scooter in appearance (except for the seat configuration obviously)

This is why I hate how wsbk is making all the bikes put on headlight decals next year. I've always felt that track fairings tend to make the bike look better without the lights cluttering up the front.
Though I guess the pani lucked out a bit with the ruling since the headlights are so minimal on it... but every other bike on the grid is going to look a lot worse.

Yeah, well.. I have a few laying around of both... :-[
Pantah SL and XL models had the hoop weld to the frame for the exhaust and rear pegs. Pantah TL and Alazzurra (same frame) had two 12mm bolts on the frame to which the rear and front pegs and exhaust hung from.

Gotcha, I've seen a few Alazzurra cafe builds so I may just have had that in my head, the Pantah was probably the more popular model. Can you pick these (Alazzurra or Pantah) up pretty cheap? They look like such a great starting point.

You can find running, good shape Allys for around 2000-2500.. They always start around 3000-4000, but never sell that high. The most expensive one I've seen sold was 4200 2 years ago and it was a balls-out custom job: (well, for an Alazzurra)
(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l309/ducatiz/moto/alazzurra-custom/4697f1bf.jpg)
You can find basket cases now and then for around 1000-2000 but they get bought up quickly for parting out. :-/
What's this, you ask?
A CAD model of a 1972 MV Agusta GP500 triple.
Why on earth do that, you ask?
So you can make some replicas.

Whoa. [clap] I see Dave Roper's leathers in the background. That fairing actually makes the BSA Rocket 3 mufflers look good. I love the cooling slots that lead to the cylinders. Love the bubbles for the handlebars. Love how the windshield looks looks like it belongs on a fighter jet.

Don't get me wrong, the bike is sexy as hell and the colors are outstanding
Unless he did major surgery under the tank, there is no room there. Pantahs have a big ass plate with the ignition components there. The battery usually sites behind the veritcal cylinder on a plate, where that pipe is running. I've wanted to do an undertail exhaust setup on a pantah for years and that battery relo is the killer.
Maybe with a Shorai somewhere. I could see that, I guess.

[I probably should have used some sort of 'sarcasm' emoticon when I said unsure.]
I wonder what it feels like to ride one of those... you know... steering it and all.
don't think you would ever have a "tank slapper" on it...... [coffee]

If memory serves me correctly there was a mad new zealander how use to come up for TT every year on a home built machine back in the late 90's early naught's and I never worked out how you steered the thing then and still don't but it must work cause he got it round the Isle of man many times.

The seat makes me a bit nervous as it rolls right into the tank. Wax that tank too much and high the brakes too hard and you're sitting on the bars.
Overall it's a great take, I think. I'd like the seat sloped into the tank more, that's about it. Maybe the bump higher.
I love a 3 1/2 despite the crazy power:weight ratio.

I see them in Italy selling around â,¬1000 for a well used running one, 75-79 models.. The Sport models for a little more â,¬250 to 500 depending on condition
Saw a perfect perfect cherry Sport for â,¬2000 at a swap meet and I still kick myself for not buying it.

Their 1200 cc engine wouldn't fit in that little frame. Rumor has it that the next bike from Moto Guzzi will be the V12; a retro styled bike with the look of the V7 Classic with the larger engine.
(I think the redhead's feet must resting on the opposite side footpeg.)
Kickstand is toward the camera, she's on the other side.
It'd tip over if she were completely sitting on the bike.
She's petite, but not *that* petite.
They photoshopped her feet off.

That's the Louis bike. I voted on parts of that design.
He basically put up three options for three major sections and let Louis customers vote on the direction.

With **9 SBK forks, yes. Standard SC front fender lines up with 848/1098/1198 forks just fine.
I just think SBK fenders look like an unfinished thought. They're graceful and shapely at the front. And then you get to the back end where it's supposed to be tucked behind a fairing and it just ends, like they couldn't be bothered to continue to design what wasn't going to be seen.

I agree -- with the SBK front fender on a naked bike, my brain immediately thinks "why bother?" It's not like it's actually fending spray or debris away from rider or engine, so why even leave it on - except to protect the fork sliders, and if you're building a custom bike there's got to be a much less kludge-y way to do that.
In general, I love the bike, but I have the same reaction to the fender...

Guy here is selling a 92-93 (not sure the year) 900SS SL for about 1000-1500 euro. Anchorism has the details.
It doesn't have the Mag wheels so likely a 93.

It was fun working with him. I got to think and work outside the box...and paint more colors than red, yellow, and dark. ;)
He does a lot of Harleys too. Mostly bobber style. He only did two Ducs in the 2 or so years we collaborated on 10 bikes.
Things just didn't work out.

some shocks with reservoirs are built to sit a certain way. if you invert them they don't work.
the old marzocchi strada with a res had them at the bottom.
Back in the day, prior to reservoir shocks, twin-tube shocks were all there was.
Those had a small volume of air between the inner and outer tube.
Much like how our front forks are.
Inverting them allowed the air into the inner tube, where all of the damping was done.
So the shock performance would go from unspectacular to totally hopeless.
Even when reservoirs, and later, gas-pressurized pistons were added, the body-down orientation remained, as that's how folks expected them to look.

and if you put the reservoir (the significantly heavier end) down there by the swingarm, it would move up and down with the swingarm as the shock worked ... that increases the mass that has to be handled by the suspension... its kind of like doing the opposite of reducing unsprung weight, it seems.

Yes but the old shocks were oil/gas. The res had to be at the bottom. They don't weight too much.

What is that square fried egg on the front?
Nice Scrambler.
The tank and pipes make it for sure.
I like how the tank and seat look. Are there any pics of the structure underneath them? Know of any other bikes with good implementation of this? This is having the bottoms of the seat and tank on the same plane, giving a better view of the vertical cylinder's valve cover...
So..., guess... 8)

Now HOW did I know you'd be the first to reply?! ;)
Son bought this from a Dutch dealer for a client of his. This is an older restoration which had been in a German collection. Fairly clean with a little patina. We picked it up from Norfolk today, nicely crated and fully serviced and I helped him unload and uncrate it. He's still making decent $$$ on it and paid much less for it than the 175 which cost the Barber Museum ~ $20,000 from Dana Mecum. ;)
It's a 1958 250 Chimera, so before any Harley investment I believe. Tank decals are plain Aermacchi.

Well that's one way to deal with the funky XL tank.
818 is a 750 Paso crankcase punched out. 90mm ?
818 is 92 x 61.5.
you can take a 750 to 92? hmmm
a 696 is 88. what does that translate to at 92mm?
765 cc
plus 92/57.2 is a 1.6 oversquare ratio

Yes you can, but it will definitely require case modification... It >might< be possible to use a Paso 906 bottom end... But then why leave it at 818?
I imagine there is about 0.5mm metal left between the studs and the lip of the bore hole

[evil]
there's a guy in Adelaide who has a 100hp, 800cc 696. 94mm bore. from him:
"thought you might be interested in the performance of the new 800cc two valve - 696 motor ( Red bike). The white 696, own the state champ and set new bears lap record at Mac Park, unfortunately they cancel the Phillip Island round which we were going to take the 800 , we thought a 1m 48s would have be about the mark.
specification of the 800cc
bore 94mm
stroke 57.2mm
45mm inlet valves
39.5 mm ex
both titanium of our own spec
our new inlet manifold heads
new ecu
stock cams and timing
14:1 compression
lightened crank and Carrillo rods
55mm butterfly's"
"Head rework is fairly substantial on the 800cc with new inlet track at a steeper angle, oval 55mm throttle bodies (999r) and our titanium valves.
The whole lot would cost about $3500 per pair. We also make carbon airboxes to suit.
There is more development to go on the 696 motor which is doing a reliable 86 hp. and has more conventional head .
The standard 696 stud configuration is larger at 74mm x 94mm and the cases are alot stronger in this area than early models.
So we needed to find 6mm in diameter. 3mm radius, 1.5mm off the internal of the cases and the same off the OD of the barrels which we also shortened to match the 696 stroke of 57.2mm.
Pistons are CP to our spec as the pin is lower than a 1000 ds, weight is the same as a stock 88mm and we also set them for 48mm inlet which we have run on this motor as part of the development program. Currently running 45mm as that's all that was required with the improved port flow.
The rev limiter is a bit shy at 10250 rpm we'll run 11200 rpm on the track, this is still well within piston speed and acceleration limits.
We have also developed a cam manufacturing process and have lift profiles in mind but the maths is killing me!!!!
Cams can be alot more like 4V motors as the heads breath so well , we don't need as much duration and could even have shorter lobe separation.
This is why I've stuck with the stock 696 cam, although with the new inlets additional lift would help. From flow testing of the standards and ported stock inlet it's obvious that lift is no real advantage as they flow so poorly over 9mm (see attached)."
i was going to put it on my blog with some dyno charts and photos, just haven't got to it.
:o
Much more air and fuel in, a little easier exhaust escape, MUCH higher compression, short stroke and very high revs 8) Sounds like fun, but this engine shouldn't follow the usual service intervals ;D
It's like Cloner says: "An engine is like a bar of soap. The harder you rub it, the faster it's gonna wear out. And dropping one is never a good thing."

pegged the seat -- you'd think an "endurance" seat would have a little more padding... lol.. it's amazing that preparation H wasn't a racing sponsor.
front discs are too big, out of proportion with the era/look. front mudguard too.
how did the sport tank go on the ss frame? i have just bought a cheap 400ss, and this, a thread on ducati ms by a fellow in somewhere lower eastern europe and the series 1 cafe racer dvd i got for xmas are making me think i could keep it and make something of it. after i bought a good original tank from germany, of course.
ian gowanloch has new, unpainted sport tanks or grey ones, but i figure it'd need some mods underneath to make it pivot and to mount at the front. the sport frame is higher at the sides too?
looking up falloon's book and motociclismo it seems they're fairly similar. sport tank is definitely more retro. and i've always liked the sport tail. i thought the 1990 900ss with the big white stripe was just the best looking thing ever. well, after this: http://www.philaphoto.com/imageLibrary/displayimage.php?album=955&pos=5 (http://www.philaphoto.com/imageLibrary/displayimage.php?album=955&pos=5)
moto: were there issues with clearance under the sport tank? or were you just using the front of the correct tank to make it fit the frame? is the seat unit off the shelf?
just need some 16" marvics to really make it work.
or just buy this: http://raidermotorsport.com.au/products-page/bikes-for-sale/ducati/ducati-belt-2-valve/400-ss-30816/ (http://raidermotorsport.com.au/products-page/bikes-for-sale/ducati/ducati-belt-2-valve/400-ss-30816/) these late sport style little 400 were actually quite high spec, made at the request of the japanese importer in 1990. first ducati with mikuni carbs.
it just occured to me how retro the black numberplate with white # is. i like that.

moto you bastard i just found your website. now i'm screwed.
i have been thinking all afternoon "i don't think i'd want a full fairing one" and so i found this http://www.motomotivo.com/1a.jpg (http://www.motomotivo.com/1a.jpg)
although now i'm swaying back towards full again. no idea why
and the questions begin.
does that front fairing (and the full fairing) go straight onto the std ss headlight subframe?
does the endurance seat go straight onto the std ss rear frame? i can see there's one little mount for the original side covers under the top rail that you've removed, but i'm kind of keen to keep mine as returnable to std as possible. so i'd have to hide that.
and the inevitable (sigh) how much?
Brad, thanks for the reply. Please contact me trough my site and I'll gladly answer all your questions, that way we can keep this thread uncluttered.
Moto Motivo: I just found your site as well. Nice work! Really remarkable seeing the transformations page. An aside: did you consider putting a link to your page in your forum signature? I had to search to find the website. In any case, keep up the good work! [beer]

"thought you might be interested in the performance of the new 800cc two valve - 696 motor ( Red bike). The white 696, own the state champ and set new bears lap record at Mac Park, unfortunately they cancel the Phillip Island round which we were going to take the 800 , we thought a 1m 48s would have be about the mark.
specification of the 800cc
bore 94mm
stroke 57.2mm
45mm inlet valves
39.5 mm ex
both titanium of our own spec
our new inlet manifold heads
new ecu
stock cams and timing
14:1 compression
lightened crank and Carrillo rods
55mm butterfly's"
"Head rework is fairly substantial on the 800cc with new inlet track at a steeper angle, oval 55mm throttle bodies (999r) and our titanium valves.
The whole lot would cost about $3500 per pair. We also make carbon airboxes to suit.
There is more development to go on the 696 motor which is doing a reliable 86 hp. and has more conventional head .
The standard 696 stud configuration is larger at 74mm x 94mm and the cases are alot stronger in this area than early models.
So we needed to find 6mm in diameter. 3mm radius, 1.5mm off the internal of the cases and the same off the OD of the barrels which we also shortened to match the 696 stroke of 57.2mm.
Pistons are CP to our spec as the pin is lower than a 1000 ds, weight is the same as a stock 88mm and we also set them for 48mm inlet which we have run on this motor as part of the development program. Currently running 45mm as that's all that was required with the improved port flow.
The rev limiter is a bit shy at 10250 rpm we'll run 11200 rpm on the track, this is still well within piston speed and acceleration limits.
We have also developed a cam manufacturing process and have lift profiles in mind but the maths is killing me!!!!
Cams can be alot more like 4V motors as the heads breath so well , we don't need as much duration and could even have shorter lobe separation.
This is why I've stuck with the stock 696 cam, although with the new inlets additional lift would help. From flow testing of the standards and ported stock inlet it's obvious that lift is no real advantage as they flow so poorly over 9mm (see attached)."
i was going to put it on my blog with some dyno charts and photos, just haven't got to it.
Very impressive.
Sounds like head reconfigure work akin to MBP or BCM, but local (to me).

If you actually ride the thing, it tends to get a nice scuff at the bend on the right side from your boot heel. It's in juuuuuuuuuust the right spot to hit your foot as the suspension compresses.

that really looks nice, but with the oil cooler mounted low (looks great, risks lots of debris in the fins) it seems that the pods would be getting very turbulent air - not conveniently directed like ram-air - a possible performance detriment... thoughts?

It's exactly in the same place on all the liquid cooled Ducati superbikes.
yeah, i think you missed the point. People move them below on the air-cooled bikes to either (a) look neato or (b) increase air-flow to the vertical cylinder.
It has nothing to do with the liquid-cooled bikes: Their's are mounted on the bottom out of necessityâ€"there's nowhere else to put one. Of the liquid-cooled Ducatis, the superbikes forego even more basic protection of the radiator/oil-cooler fins and ditch the rear end of the mudguard. Bad for stone/chip/debris protection, good for clearance distance to radiator/oil-cooler on an L-Twin, with its inherent geometry limitations.
What I was getting at is: If you are running pods, the nature of the air coming to the pods greatly affects performance characteristics. For this reason, equipping pods on machines with intakes on the 'rear' of the cylinders is do-able (see the gooses, above).

I wish I had a dyno, a big assed fan, and a couple of days to compare pods vs airbox vs open airbox in more realistic running airflow conditions. I'd also look at velocity stacks. Any of you guys seen anything like that?
I've got some pods sitting on my shelf. I think they'd look neato, but don't am afraid of sticking them on and making my girl bike (620) even slower.
I installed a pair of alum velocity stacks from Velocity of Sound (AUS) with a pair of "booty" filters (made specifically for stacks). I have also run k&n pod filters. My bike with slightly baffled pipes really didn't like the pods but loves the stacks. They look cooler too which adds 3 horsepower... [cheeky]

I have conducted some "open airbox Vs pods" dyno tests. Punch that into the search function. Also check out "Enlarged airbox and other airbox mods".

Basic explanation of what's going on with that frame:
Conceptually, think of the outer fork tubes as being rigidly attached to the frame, and open at the top.
Inner sliders go out the top of the tubes, and there hold a rather complicated folding knee and linkage assembly.
That assembly connects to the handlebars, transmitting the handlebar motion to rotation of rods that go down the inside of the sliders.
At the bottom, the inner sliders hold a hub-center style wheel (like Bimota Tesi).
The rotation rods are linked to the hub.

Spondon isn't blasphemy at all....they build some awesome frames...and look at the swingarm to boot that they built!
Yup.... they've been building highly regarded racing frames since I was a lad (and that's a while ago now ;))
Although Derby is not in Italy AFAIK ;)
Thats the most interesting bike I've seen in a long time
The front end is a lesson in "unconventional"! Thank you for explaining the steering, my brain was hurting trying to figure it out.
The Spondon, well.....technically sound and light as it may be......its ugly as hell [thumbsdown]

Not suspension gas can..
Not nitrous..
Not anything frame oriented as it's zip tied to the frame.
Breather mechanism might be the best guess. The bevel engine was very different than the belt heads but the breather was in a similar place (with the oil filter on TOP right in front of it...)
If you look at the left and right side shots, you can see a tube running from behind the rear brake reservoir up and toward the general direction of the top of the tube. That, combined with

The bolt was probably added for insurance. Maybe they had a problem with the valve guides pulling out. Did you get a chance to read the story behind that bike?

I thought it was a pretty good story for Ducati, sort of like an Australian version of Paul Smart's Imola 200 win in 1972 or Cook Neilson's Daytona win in 1977. Perhaps that bike contributed to Ducati's popularity in Australia.

It was. If you can find a socket-head bolt on a bevel Ducati, then it is not original. All slotted screws and hex-heads originally.
I can't imagine a bevel valve guide pulling out. They are in pretty damn tight, but then again, maybe they thought 860cc was the bomb. Literally.

Thanks, but I'm just derbying what I saw on Bevel Heaven.

If you liked the prototype of the 750 Sport take a look at these pics of prototype 750 GT's from around 1970. I dig the shorter seat. It gives the bike different stance. Notice the smaller tank with graphics and badges similar to previous single cylinder models. Also, you can't miss the huge 4 leading shoe drum brakes that didn't make it to the production bike. By that time you needed disk brakes to keep up with the competition.

I watched that race and it WAS extra special, it was the only time I saw a Ducati win a race in the 70's ! There were a couple of 750 sports which did ok, about 4th and 10th I think, against a horde of Z1's. We did have a big advantage though, Ducati's were the only marque which didn't have to make a fuel stop. Great days.

Why the spoked wheels? Vintage class or is there some flat track advantage?
They are tubeless, and stronger than solid wheels. The tracks get incredibly rough in some cases. One of Bill Werner's Kawi's broke a magnesium wheel in Lima, OH (very rough cushion track) rider walked away.....could have been ugly.

ran across a cool find today.... Icon 1000's "The Operator" SS900
(http://icon1000.com.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/NoMoreHeroes7.jpg)
IO saw this bike in person last year at a motorcycle show in Portland.
Son delivered the Chimera to PA near New Hope. Guess he likes it as he's parked in the mud room next to the kitchen in the main house! 8)
Came back with a 35,000 mile, belt-serviced, etc. 328 GTS in his trailer which we'll play with before he sells that. ;)

This bike already looked good. But gulf livery looks makes it look even better. [drool]
Not sure about gulf livery with the seafoam-green frame, but I'd sure like to see what the rest of the exhaust looks like.
I agree re: the frame - perhaps make it match the blue of the Gulf scheme or paint it black, but I didn't notice it at first! Likewise, I'd prefer the gold of the forks be changed to black (via vinyl or anodizing) so it doesn't contrast so much.
The pipe is a bit OCC for me..
likely its a PS silver originally and he didnt want to ruin the value, and picked up a second set of bodywork for a change
and yes.. .hate the pipe

I didn't notice that at first also. Raux is probably right about maintaining value. The Zards for the Paul Smart would like alot better than these slash cut ones

I like the paint. The rear brake disk is almost non existent.
Looks good.
I like it too. Very minimalistic, and the upswept cans work. Simple and to the point.
The rear rotor is like a toothpick! wtf? that's one way to keep it cool...

I guess there are a few molecules for the puck to squeeze on. Who needs rear brakes anyway.
He even drilled out the bracket for the caliper, that's dedication.

But given the fact that they had to move the battery box to get that routing just in front of the rear wheel, I'm gonna guess it was probably custom.
Definitely a tasty piece of kit.

Yes in original form the bike looks good, but considering the "before" condition, the conversion turned out well.

About 3000 were brought here. None to Oz that I've heard of. Cagiva didn't export to Oz during that period. However you got a lot more 650sl Pantahs.

I can appreciate the work it took to screw all that together.
BUT, if you're going *that* far, why not cut off the radiator mounts and other frame brackets?

Allegedly this one was based on a factory road racer. Can't recall the details anymore. Halfheimers? ;) ducatiz will no doubt straighten us out shortly. Never rode a 500, but my 600 SL was quite "adequate" with the right jetting, K&N's and pipe. This particular 500 Sport is belongs to the owner of a decent sized vintage race car shop in town which specializes in cars for SVRA. He gave me more details at one time but they must have gone out the other ear. 8) In ancient time I used to adjust the valves on a pal's 3 1/2 until he located a 600 SL like mine. Picture in my intro thread here: http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=50673.msg929505#msg929505 (http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=50673.msg929505#msg929505)

The commentator is accurate too, BTW, as an old riding buddy used to race AMA vintage at Daytona on his modded 450 Scrambler. Took a couple of seconds and one or two individual races. Budget effort too..., but HE could RIDE. ;)
For me, the standout of yesterday's Howlers Vintage Motorcycle Club ride (they let me hang around because of the pair of mostly disassembled Yam XS650s I'm someday going to do something with...) was Glen's 750 that he picked up at a garage sale a few years ago:

Other highlights were the nicely cafe-ed CB750 & the pair of Royal Enfilelds separated by about 70 years with surprisingly little technological difference between the two - or is that unsurprising?

70s SS style fairing I.e:

Hmmm... That was the livery on my 900SS. Can't recall seeing any 750's here.
I though the 750 had the fairing scheme reversed to the 900. blue with silver stripe.

I think you're right. Here's a comparison to Alonzo Bodden's somewhat garish 1098-based bike.

I love the 70s 750ss Carenata fairing, but it's been used on almost every Ducati SS cafe conversion I've seen. I can't say I'm tired of it, but it definitely gets used a lot.
Also, does anyone have details on the carb setup? Split FCRs but what manifold are those?

I was dubious of that word, 'direct', considering the era, but there are injectors visible on the cylinders.
Still looks like they aren't injecting high enough to be after exhaust port closing.

He's likely trimmed 40 pounds or so off, which is a good thing, for sure.
That's the thing that bums me out the most about my GC, it's just too heavy for serious off road.
Fuel range compromised a bit with that tank, but there's other options to address that.

SO, Speeddog, I Emailed the guy ( took a chance with the cues and got lucky) and he said the tank is a Suzuki GS550 and a custom rear subframe for the Monster seat to lay on. He has some pics of his build here -> https://www.facebook.com/groups/300909350022244/ (https://www.facebook.com/groups/300909350022244/) for which I am thinking about.

the paint on the tank not so much, but the frame, subframe, cases, swingarm, wheels triples, fork lowers, fork tubes, etc.

I see your point, but that criticism applies to all stock Monsters. Basically this is just a stock bike with a paint job, a CF subframe cover, and tail chop.

yes, it does. just one of those things I don't like.
in the blackat thread where I upset him I tried to make the point that to fix it costs a lot of money, but to make it costs nothing more than ducati spend now.
but now i'm a hater it seems. that's the trouble with opinions.

You're probably just suggesting that you have a different opinion to some of the us ;)

Nah, that's the beauty of opinions. They're not fact and so can never be wrong [thumbsup].
If we all liked the same thing..... a boring world it would be.
So lets quit criticizing and start posting more cool bike pics!
Maybe there can be another thread called "Why that isn't a cool bike".

I actually really like the bike.
I just know the hate is strong with this forum....
this person actually spent a lot of time on this bike.
whether we like it or not (as with any bike) we can all "appreciate" it... we don't all have to drool over it.
I just like all the "haters gonna hate" memes, they are hilarious

Ducati does a pretty good job of matching the color of parts with the Monster Diesel.

Sorry to continue the conversational theme, but eh, not a fan.
I think my biggest issue is the Caterpillar yellow front calipers.
Sure they match the shock spring, but they're just so jarring. [puke]
But it does show that when Ducati want to, they can take care of Brad's gripe about getting colors to match. [thumbsup]
I'd paint the calipers gold just like the previous "Goldline" Brembo brakes. I've always liked that color for brakes. It would go well with the green bodywork. Maybe the shock could be gold too if it matched the brakes.
The seat stitching on the Monster Diesel is cool, but I like the "50 shades of grey" monster a page back better than the Diesel. At least that bike had some nice work to accentuate the details of the bike. The Diesel bike, to me, is just green and black.

Hang your pictures here on the walls and the visitors will offer their critique.
I see no reason why we can't share our views and opinions. Something shows up here that's cool.... well.... that's cool (according to me). Something shows up that I don't much care for I'm probably gonna say so. Others will - and clearly do - have different opinions. Room for 'em all. [thumbsup]

I think what ducatiz means is that it'd be hard to replicate the gold paint colour
when anodising the forks.
That's why the gold painted sections of my monster are ohlins coloured 8)

Exactly. And given the abuse that forks get, I cant say paint is a good idea. Prove me wrong, but seems to me youd have a pregnant dog of a time slipping a triple over a painted fork tube without scratching it. Anodizing penetrates the surface and is microns thick.
Probably why the only painted forks you see are on bicycles.

Had to repaint the frame and fenders as it sat for 40 years without a cover. Some of the chrome is chipped off the wheels, forks and handlebars but I am leaving them like it is. Also not repainting the headlight bucket or tank for now. May change my mind when it all goes together. All that has to be finished is the new wiring harness and I can put her back together!

It is Italian, right?
But of course! All the bolts on the bike are Metric and it is an Italian motor.
Somebody else needs to solve this one. ??? I tried a Google Images search for "vintage Italian motorcycles two stroke" but didn't really see anything that had the same type of fork, swing-arm, or frame.

BINGO! You are correct it is the 125 cc Rapido built by Italy on a HD frame. My uncle set the 125cc World Land Speed Record (cc class record) in 1970 with it. Tis a strange mix of Italian and American. Not an American bolt or nut on the bike and a pure Italian power plant.

(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a189/RickFi/moto_guzzi_stelvio.jpg)
As frequent visitors here will doubtless know, I'm a huge sucker for Guzzis.
I enjoy the so-called Dual-Sport thing too. And so I really want to like the Stelvio...... to find reasons to own one.
But each time I revisit it, I find too many reasons why there are better options in that category. Its too heavy (heavier even than BMW's R1200GS). It also has unremarkable suspension (less travel at both ends than the Big German).
This, I think is the main reason I've never owned a Guzzi.... despite the long held desire: Guzzi are repeat offenders at asking too much and delivering too little. They coulda made a genuine competitor to the GS1200 beasts.... but instead... the Stelvio turns out IMO to be a fat wanna-be.
Which is a pity coz I like the concept and I'm sure it's a fine touring bike in it's own right, but it's 1200GS pretensions are no more than skin deep IMO.
I want Guzzi to (again) build a dual sport based on their 750 small block.....

No I haven't ridden a V7. Slow is OK for a dual sport. Have you ridden a DR650? [laugh]

Check out the little window installed on the gear box!
That would be these, or something similar.

Because of how/where the forces go, straight into a rigid 'swingarm', I don't think that's a big problem compared to what it would be on a conventional fork...

Also, the gap btw the seat and the tank looks like a great spot for ones balls during a hard stop. He must use Thighmaster.

My first motorcycle!!

Just checked and it's gone, it was an undetermined year Bronco 125 missing the headlight, front fender and exhaust, owner claimed the motor was free but not running. He was asking $700 and I offered $400 which he didn't take too kindly to, I'm not going to overpay simply because it's a Ducati.
Id have to see it.. any of the old springheads that are in good shape are going to sell eventually. It is probably worth twice that if it's parted. The only people that have them are collectors and weirdos nowadays.
You wouldn't be paying 700 because it's a Ducati, it's because it's 50 years old and rare as hell.
All of the "named" models are worth more in my book.. i.e. the Bronco, Diana, Marianna... etc
I'm looking up the Bronco in Cathcarts book as we speak.
I thought I saved the pictures from the ad but I can't find them now. The bike was pretty rough and I looked into the resale market on them and it looked pretty weak, near flawless original bikes going for just a few grand. It seems the pushrod motors are the least desirable from a collector standpoint but one guy speculated that since they are the least desirable at the moment many of them will be parted out and the survivors may end up bringing big money some day.
https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/QuUW4vE3cqjv-Erqu7ELxJtBwWUIIEUoCyC-GLv7uY4?feat=directlink
Yup. Some things are valuable just because they are old and oddballs.
The pushrod models are oddballs, for sure. Not exciting bikes in their own right, but if you've got an old Ducati single that is running well and looks ok, you'll eventually make your money off it no matter what.
And yes, the people pulling them apart don't hurt the resale over time.
I am hoping the scarcity of the parallel models eventually helps the value...lol
Damn, I thought I was certain I didn't want it, now you're making me rethink it and it's gone :(

Honestly, if it's your first vintage ducati, I'd say steer clear unless you have the patience of the gods. Those old engines are true artisan engines -- all hand fitted and assembled. Assembling one is a giant pain.
I would like to get into a vintage duc, what model do you think would be better?

All of them are going to be headaches more or less, but the later bevels less so.
Squarecase twins can be found for cheap enough in restorable condition. The singles are less desirable, but parts sourcing is much harder.
A few years ago, a bunch of Swiss milsurp Condors came over, they were selling for around $3500. Single springhead Ducati 350cc. Perfect condition.
I sold my Darmah SS for just under 10,000. Fully original, running condition. I saw restorable nonrunning ones in the 3000-4000 range. Finding parts is $$$
The single might be your cheapest entry, but finding parts is going to be hard.
I have seen several of those condors up close and personal when I was playing with Swiss military Pinzgauers. Kinda wanted one and could have snapped one up for $1,500. Thankfully the owner who had bought several for resale told me about how darn difficult it was and that I should run away screaming. He was gonna lose money on those bikes and knew it. Luckily I was providing some help with the Red Bull Pinzgauer and he felt he should not screw me over. For what it is worth he was notorious for screwing people over so I felt quite fortunate to have kept my money.
Shouldn't this be in the "Celebrities on Ducatis" thread ;D?

Dear Mr. Laverda,
Yes, I'll have one of those just like that, please.
And two complete drivelines please, one as a spare and one to put in a modern chassis.
Kindly forward the tracking number when they ship.
Thanks!

Signal lights not required by law. Neither is a speedometer. It has a headlight and it looks as if the taillight is there.
My state no longer has vehicle inspections, and when they did, the speedometer was not on the list.

OK, I saw one carburetor but I thought the other must have been hanging off of the left side of the motor- out of the photographer's view. Now I see the front intake in need of a mate.

Love the bikes from Kaffemachine. Love the paint similar to the 750S & S3 models. I like the seat which is like the Lemans I seat with a lower profile hump. I was hoping someone would post that one. My desktop has been down and I have not been been posting as much.

The sport classic bikes had some connection to previous models. Siegls bikes are cool but are amalgams of various models and custom features.
The next sport classic will be from the pantah racers I.e. laguna seca F1 or nothing. It would be great if Ducati would make a single and roll out repros of old 350 and 450 models...

This was my 600 SL and it's anything BUT ponderous. If memory serves, that's a 3.50 on the front, high-tech Pirelli at the time, and I wouldn't go any larger as 3.25 was standard. This thing handled like a bicycle because it weighed nothing and went like stink. Left many big bikes for dead in the twisties but was only geared for 110 MPH at 9,500 RPM and it helps if you're under 150 lbs, 5' 8" and under 40 as the position is... 8) Fine over 70 MPH of course...

If YOU sat on that bike, it would look like a minibike. ;) Selling it was bitter-sweet because the buyer took it directly to Massachusetts for an Italian bike show/gathering of about 300 machines and took first place! >:(
Incidentally, that 2-into-1 stainless system you see on there came from a Ducati specialist fabricator in Australia c1981 and he really knew what he was doing. I could jet both Dellortos nearly identically which was something I couldn't do with the NCR I also tried. Looked miles better as well and sounded great without being too loud.
Ian Gowanloch?
Termignoni also made a 2:1 for the Pantah. Rare as hens teeth. It was in their catalogue until a few years ago.
Quote from: ducatiz on September 02, 2013, 07:23:16 PM

No clue. In those days there was a monthly mimeographed club newsletter and I must have spotted it in there and taken a chance. Some U.K. vendors advertised in there too. Hard to recall anymore.
It was light as a feather and beautifully made. When I got the parcel from customs, I thought something must have been lost in shipping. ;) If you are really interested, I might have some print scans with a tighter view.

same principle as free floating rotors.
the brake force is transferred to the engine (or frame on some bikes) instead of into the swingarm, isolating the braking force from suspension force. probably mattered back in the day when swingarms were licorice.
now it's just a fancy look. is race mate.
It is a 'new' Monster frame . . .the rest, well, it's Italian re-made in Germany . . .

The seat itself might not be longer than a foot.

They forgot to install the crank shaft ;D
It fell out.
Yep, that's the replica in Solvang.
Supposedly the guy made 3 of them.
The story on the crank was that the rider missed a shift and bent it.
Looks like JvB Moto has been busy. In addition to the red bike there were two more shown recently.

The concept of a naked bike with a MotoGP mill is bada$$, no doubt... but the execution on this one leaves some things to be desired. The proportions are wrong... the headlight, the bikini fairing... there is a significant proportional mistmatch of the whole front end when you just peel the plastics of the D16RR. The "frame", seat, tank, swingarm... they just look awkward when exposed like this. If they wanted a naked bike with a MotoGP mill, they needed to build a proper naked bike around the D16RR motor.
But hey, to each their own. *shrug*
Someone will be along soon to discuss the superiority of the newer headlight design as well as how efficient the bikini fairing is at shaping the air flow up and around the rider. But until then... [puke]
I posted it because it's cool and different, but far from perfect.
they used the stock rearsets... I would have gone with Durbahn's
the entire seat should have been replaced with a tubular subframe/seat combo instead
remove the rear fender to open up the rear
remove the belly pan and certainly not put a rizoma frame/axle sliders on it
for headlight, that's a tough one, but I think the streetfighters would have been a better Ducati choice here.
no bar end mirrors, a set of low fighter style would have fit better.
honestly, there was not a lot of effort put into it, whether the owner didn't want anything that couldn't be put back, or the shop didn't want to get too into it.

^^I realize I am showing my age but my first thought was "Yetman Monster?"
Someday, probably when I retire, I will have a beautiful custom Ducati like that, or the Louis Sport 1000 above. A work of mechanical art, that will be ridden to cruise-ins, ride-ins, and other gatherings on sunny Sundays, and spend the rest of it's time on proud display along the wall of my garage, with its own little special floor (maybe mirror tiles), a placard, and accent lights that show off its form.

I love this bike.
Anyone notice how often this style pops up in customized bikes?
Why don't any manufacturers make this bike?
not sure if you guys know how this bike was produced...
Louis is a company that's been around 75 years. They are a motorcycle specialist.
They had a major builder in Germany, his name eludes me right now, build a bike based on customer wants.
So they had a 3 or 5 part (can't remember how many) survey put out.
each major component was voted on from exhaust, wheels, seat, tank
of course he offered only about 3 or 4 options per component.
in the end it was a commmunity project.
I noticed Porshe did the same recently for the 50th anniversary 911.
it was really cool to participate (i did on both) and it kept me coming each week to vote.

I know all about Louis, they won't ship tachometers to the USA! [laugh]
And that's exactly my point! This style is well-beloved by people, and no one makes a factory version..

I love it. Nice choices Carlos.
Now chop that tail and cans to match and take it to the next level.
thanks Travman, but, unless I get my hands on another Monster and prep it for show, this one has to stay as is, 10 months of rain a year, that tail helps a lot and even with the tail chop, the license plate still remains . . . will pm you

That's a bit more like it although I'm not too sure how a low pipe mixes with knobbies. ;) What vintage is that engine? Does that little can have a spark arrester? ;D
BTW, turn off the rain when you get a chance! How many inches have you had in Winschester so far? Getting stir-crazy down here... :'(

my forward mounts comment also applies directly to this. I spent an hour and a half or so on one the other day waiting for it to play up. I had one years ago and put some folding pegs on mine mounted low onto the crash bars, made a nice difference on the highway.
That front brake needs to be huge to stop that beast.
on the usa spec Eldorado it's a single sided one, on the euro 850gt it's dual sided.
that photo could be an older v7 tho, with the different colour guard to tank.

Did they run out of black paint?

This is very nice, very handsome. I like the understated look.
I would chop the cans about 1-2" but nothing else. Maybe not even that, depends on the look from other angles.
Very slick.

Spidey is a crashin' mofo. ;D
There was an unveiling thread somewhere.
Bike has a single can on a high-comp, cammed, ported 1078cc motor so I wanted to try & keep noise in check.
Tank 'dent' is lighting as indicated.
This isn't Spidey's bike.
Bike has an aluminum subframe (-5.5 lb), Ohlins FG forks (53/56mm @ triples) and a seriously relocated oil pressure sensor.

Gilera is one of the Italian bike firms that just frizzled. They had the same path as Moto Ducati -- making tiny rinky dink bikes but never got the acclaim in racing that Ducati did.
It is very possible that if Mike Hailwood had ridden a Gilera, we'd all be spooging over Gileras -- he made Ducati a household word in racing outside of Italy.
Gilera, Fantic, Malaguti, etc etc.. All frizzled.
Cagiva would have made it if those Castiglionis could keep away from the coke and hookers.

It's a cut & welded (just for final muffler angle) Termignoni 2-into-1 for a HyperMotard 1100. Just the muffler angle and mounting bracket were custom, the rest bolted right up.

once you cut that junction out, you remove a huge amount of restriction and back pressure. the fellow in the ducati.ms thread had to add a narrowed bit of pipe at the junction of the can.

QuoteDUCATI 750SS ROAD TEST
CYCLE WORLD
MARCH 1992
While the 750SS embodies all that a V-Twin sportbike represents a torquey, soulful motor enveloped in a lightweight, fine-handling chassis-it's life as a Twin may actually be a short one. According to Ernesto Vettore, president of Cagiva North America, the bike will soon be powered by Ducati's long-awaited horizontal Single, with its unique articulated-connecting-rod counterbalancer. This new Single,Vettore says, will displace 750cc, and may debut as
early as 1993. "It will be the fastest Single in the world," he says, promising that it will be at least as powerful as the Twin it replaces.

Love the bike! I'm trying to picture the Puma swoosh in white, and kind of almost see it...
Just finishing up the wiring harness, cables and hoses. It is fun as heck to see the smile on my uncles face as his old racer comes back together. This is a partial restoration as we wanted to keep as much original as possible. Painted the frame, fenders and forks but leaving the old (and somewhat chipped) chrome alone for now. Also keeping the headlight buck, tank and seat all stock. He set a world (class) speed record at Bonneville in 1970 with this little thing. It is a 1968 1968 HD badged-Aermacchi and I can't wait to ride it! [Dolph]

Yes, udders are ugly, but I don't see that the X-box looks remarkably better than an udder. The Boomtubes do look great, though, but I can't justify the price.

So the udder is on stock but those custom mini-cans aren't expensive to have custom made?

There are plenty of GP style cans out there for sale; I've seen them from $250 - $750, but then it's a matter of fabrication which involves welding and should involve some sort of support near the middle - end of the cans.
So $600.00 total? Oops, then you need to buy a fairing for $200 + and paint it black along with the udder so it hides the ugliness of the udder.
Of course, then you won't have the weight savings of punting that udder into the parts bin & replacing it with a header pipe and some shorty gp style cans.

It was a 999. Hence the '999' across the front plate.

It is a beast for sure, but only good for riding on relatively smooth dirt roads/terrain. WHY?
1.) No skid plate- note the flat spot on the header pipe.
2.) That radiator would take a beating.
3.) It's a heavy beast to muscle around over jumps & bumps.
That being said, I'd love to have a run at Pike's Peak with that big red beast.

Why can't people understand that fire roads and logging roads are legitimate forms of dirt riding? And a bike that can get you to the dirt roads and back without a trailer or van is worthwhile?

I have a hard enough time enjoying Trail Ridge Road through RMNP because of the views. Once you get above the tree line and are on a road held up with retaining walls... pucker factor goes up.
It certainly does for me, anyway.

Wrong guy. Did it many times when it was unpaved from ~ 7,000'. :P Like driving on marbles over hardpack and the road was heavily crowned = cambered OFF the mountain. Supercharging wasn't available to us then. Just what we needed.

And I apologize. For some reason I had it in my head that you were from across the pond.

Haven't been up there since ~ 1998, so no idea how much traffic these days. Back then, during the week there might have been fewer than 20 cars on the mountain. Maybe the tourists turned around at the gate house when they saw the road? ;D
That road you mentioned looks pretty interesting from the map. Was never above Granby on my own dime though, and most of the paid serious trips out there were based in Aspen or Telluride and we did the 14ers in the San Juans and Presidentials. Must admit, I'm very fond of Colorado above ~ 7,500' where it becomes alpine. Just not fond of desert...
Pond? Used to go over twice a year but that ended in 2008 when I retired. That travel was becoming less and less fun. Mostly I wasn't paying for it at least. Even if I COULD afford it, the logistics have become much more difficult. While I miss some of my favorite haunts, it's become a lot like work. Twice as expensive to drive around than it was even ten years ago.

Don't get me wrong, I agree- I have ridden many a dirt road, but I'm just sayn' that's the limit for a heavy dirt bike like that.

My Gran Canyon is too big of a beast.
The GC is definitely on the big (and heavy) side for real dirt riding. It gets me back and forth to work, down 5 miles of gravel, then 27 miles of twisty 2-lane highway. It does the gravel passably well, but it's a lot more fun on the winding asphalt. I can also putter around the primitive roads on the acreage... but only putter. It's way too fat to go blasting around offroad with any kind of speed. Need something much lighter to really have fun around the land here.
Anyway... really enjoying this thread. It's rare that I see something new and Italian before you guys, but just browsing this thread is quite enjoyable. Keep it up! [thumbsup] There are some excellent works of Italian mechanical art around...

My uncle had a small dealership during the sixties, and he sold Ducatis, Nortons, BSAs, and Tahatsus.
He gave my dad a heck of a deal on a 250 scrambler about like this one. One time dad was trying to start the old beast and the kick starter kicked him back & darn near broke his ankle.
I'm sorry. This is like putting makeup & earrings on pigs. ;D

I wasn't considering buying a modern Morini..... but knowing now that this thing has a slipper clutch on the end of the brake lever...

Can anyone shed any light on this bike for me? It certainly looks like a Hailwood of some sort but I've never seen an MH with a single in it. Found it in the following video and you can spot it in a couple of other videos by the same youtube user but there isn't any info on it or any of the other bikes, plus I think the video is from Thailand.

Was that really unusual? My SS owners manual says the frame is chromoly. Seems a wide range of metals were cro mo.
I don't know about your SS, but Ducati does have a history of stating that their frames are Chromoly when they were in fact just regular mild steel. The first 200 V7 Sports came with the red frame and were definitely chromoly, which does make the more collectable.

That's sort of my point and the subject of a prior post that you replied to..
http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=29563.msg513551#msg513551 (http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=29563.msg513551#msg513551)
If Ducati is using steel that has chrome and molybdenum but is not 4130, then it is still technically a chromoly frame, no? Does Guzzi claim it is a 4130 steel frame?
and then I found this"
QuoteDucati's use what they call ALS 450 tubing for their frames; this alloy is also known as Fe E 420 or E420M UNI 10296-1. ALS is common shorthand for alloy steel, and 450 is the factory's designation for this particularly complicated alloy. More corrosion-resistant than the familiar 4130 chrome moly (a.k.a. chromoly) variety, it's relatively easy to weld and has what engineers like to call "a high modulus of elasticity," making it more durable in a tip-over. ALS 450 debuted in the '95 916's steel-trellis skeleton, and is also employed on the Desmosedici RR, using a different diameter to maintain rigidity without increasing wall thickness.
4130 CrMo is definitely a different beast.
It has more carbon content than 450, less Moly, and less Chromium. CrMo 4130 is easier to machine, but compared to 450 has much less corrosion resistance. 450 is a Stainless alloy, and by the looks of it not commonly used in the US. Its for "when austenitics aren't strong enough and martensitics do not provide enough corrosion resistance, there is custom 450 steel."
Having a "Sport"-labelled Guzzi kinda reminds me of having a hybrid SUV.

Ducatiz, where did you find this and how authoritative was the source?
It is a very interesting comment and at one point I looked around for info on Ducati's ALS450 and never came up with anything like it.
I had concluded it was a fancy name for a nothing-special material, dreamed up by Ducati's PR department.
Would be very happy to revise that conclusion. ;D
Edit: okay, you got it from
a motorcyclist online article (http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/howto/answers/122_0907_ask_the_pro/), as posted in the other thread you cited above. And I'm OT, sorry.

Another Ally converted "back" to a TL.
Im going to clean up my TL and sell it for one million dollars!
just love those suckers who think rare means desirable.
it actually looks very cool, and it does look like a tl tank from what I can see google image wise. almost perfect tank shape for your café racer type chappy.
pantahs have always had a long legged or top heavy sort of look (and feel) to me. this one is great. maybe take another inch out of each end for extra ice.
wonder how many tl tanks gowie has?

I spy something beginning with.... Photoshop.
Just as well its on a black background or we'd be able to see what lurks below the seat/tank and above the frame/subframe.
if they made the ncr body the right size it might be ok. how hard could it be to scale up between copy and paste.
that short tail look is just stupid.

I've only seen one in person. The 900 version which came out around 1983 is my favorite. The headlight fairing helps balance out the wide engine. Of the three six-cylinder bikes the Sei is the only one that looks close to balanced. The CBX and Kawasaki 6-cylinder are monstrosities in comparison and make the Sei look slim.
Have you ever heard this video? To my ear the Sei sounds amazing.

it's an 848 or 1x98 and that's where it is on those models.

Ahhhh... nice old right hand shifter. [thumbsup]
I've got an old basket case (and I do mean basket case!) '77 900SS that was a Berliner Import bike that was originally a right hand shift bike but due to the regs of '77 it was coverted via a Rube Goldberg jackshaft assembly that made it a legal left hand shift bike. I assume it was a factory conversion. I'll never rebuild it. I'll have to leave it to my widow in my will. [laugh] [popcorn]

Back to the Radical Ducati discussion, I think this is a nice "mellow" build compared to most of theirs. It's probably a derby but what the heck:
(http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/chriskuecker/326014_10150297354516107_136587446106_8088108_147749832_o_zpse5be5681.jpg) (http://s842.photobucket.com/user/chriskuecker/media/326014_10150297354516107_136587446106_8088108_147749832_o_zpse5be5681.jpg.html)
It's a mellow build alright. Different tail section and nose fairing on a carb'ed 90's SuperSport 900SP. Something like that could be knocked out in a 1 car garage by nearly anyone in a couple weekends. Seems to me like the less they do to a bike, the more I like the outcome.
Ok, I'm being a bit of a troll here... I'll quit it. Sorry if this offends anyone.
Thats why I like it. They normally cover it with lots of multi colored blingy bits. I hate how they overdo it.
You're right in that it looks like someone got the basic kit and put it on, rather than changing everything they could like they often do.
The other thing to remember is that Radical Ducati builds bikes for customers. That particular customer might have said he wanted something that is Radical Ducati, is old school cafe-racer-ish, BUT their budget wasn't as high as Radical's usual customer.

...is still one of my favorite Radical builds by far.
This bike was the reason I got my sport classic. At first I wanted it to look like this one but I settled for less....still love it. :) [clap]
I guess it's time for me to post my cool italian bike. It's a 1984 Beta TR32.

It looks like it is mainly a new seat & tail section plus some overall cleaning up of the bike. Never thought an Indiana could look that good.

All of the remaining Indianas are shuddering in fear now... lol
I like the ignition key switch location and the crinkle paint on the engine..
Very surprised they kept the Bing carbs... bleh
One thought, the Indiana and the Elefant share the same frame, more or less.

Not too many 36mm Dellortos with accelerator pumps kicking around probably.
Those look like the CV's found on /6 and /7 BMW's. "Same day" response for sure. ;) Plenty of parts availability of course. Those HAD to be US EPA.
That frame is Paso-style construction..., but at least my 750 Limited had a fairing to hide it! ;D
Hope they do a LOT better job with the Scrambler, although I'd have to hit the lottery to be in the market for one!

Cagiva used that box style 3-part frame on all their Varese bikes, except for the Paso, that was the only Cagiva/Ducati that was made with that frame in bologna.
In my simple opinion, this is the first bobber/café type Ducati I can recall that really pulls it off.
It just seems to be the height of irony that it took one of the ugliest Ducatis ever to do it.

Had 40's on my R90S and 900SS, 38's on my Paso, and 36's on my SL. Always LOVED the way they fueled after getting jet kits from Reno Leoni and fitting conical K&N's. The SL needed the slides shaved a hair to cure a tiny midrange flatness because it was a whisker between jet sizes.
Have to wonder whether that kit bike with open pipes has any torque. Must be noisy as the blazes too. Can't be a very "sweet" sound. My SL with open reverse cone 2-into-1 wasn't TOO loud..., but sounded like a V6 Ferrari F1 WFO. [roll]

I picked up a set of 38s while in Italy a while back, they went onto the Alazzurra and jetted nicely with the Conti 2:1 setup. Very nice loud BLAT

I agree on both points, but that's what it takes sometimes -- a desire to re-engineer everything because what you have sucks so badly..

I think indianas are cool as is. given that ducati didn't have a 'standard' model at the time, this could have been it. is it an original tank with the bottom flattened? with a real exhaust and rear mudguard it could almost be a production model.
the 350 had phf30, but the 650 and 750 had bings. the bings would have been their first foray into cv carbs. they used keihin cv on the 89 400ss thing, but finally found the mikunis for the 91 models.

This thing has me confused. The latest Radical Ducati bike, even though I thought they had closed? ??? Maybe the last Radical Ducati bike. [bow_down]
Anyway, this article linked here: http://silodrome.com/radical-ducati-custom/ (http://silodrome.com/radical-ducati-custom/) Says that it has a multistrada 1100 motor, and that they fitted Keihin FCR41's. Why go back to carbureted? Also, what swing arm would that be?

People like carbs. I can understand why, but EFI as a concept is far easier to maintain and tune. The problem is the EFI systems on the various Ducatis have proven to be iffy.
Someone should make an aftermarket EFI system. Gene Berg did it years ago for the old VWs, a TBI system. Worked great.
Aftermarket EFI computers for the ducs are common, Nemisis & Microtech are some of the moter common systems. I have heard of someone working on a megasquirt setup on an older bike. I have not had any issues with the EFI on either of my ducs. As for carbs over EFI, I know some prefer the more direct feel of a carb with an accelerator pump on acceleration. As for the swingarm, it looks like a S2R swing arm, but could easily be a custom build, likley is due to the narow multistrada cases used.

I'm not talking about an aftermarket computer, I'm talking about an entire system. Manifolds, injectors, etc.
If you really want to get me hard, make it a direct injection setup. Modify the heads, new fuel pump, etc.
I love the look of that bike but my butt got hot just looking at it.

The article and the bike are about 4-5 years old. It is one of my favorites from them. The beauty of their creations was that they could put frames, swingarms, and motors from different Ducati models together in a way that worked. It is something that many tried, but for most people they ended up with a Frankenstein-looking bike.

Overall that is a very nice looking bike. There is something about the 999/749 bikes with the body work off that just works. You think they could find a place to relocate the battery & electronics though so they are not just hanging off the side of the engine.

The only easy way is to convert to pod filters and stash it all under the tank. Alternative being to completely rewire the bike and build the seat and tail to hold them.
One hurts performance and the other is a HUGE pain in the butt :p
Since I know I wouldn't use all of a 999, I'd convert to pods and stash it under the tank... like I did with my Triumph :p I don't need 100hp... I just want the torque that comes with the displacement :p

Love both of those. I'm building a V50 Mk3 cafe bike and should be on the shake down ride in a few more weeks.
^^ I like the red frame one especially [drool] [thumbsup]
That 125 there has 16 valves and is the only one in the world. Frame was in Yugoslavia and the engine was in Latvia.
I wonder what the purchase price was..
This is even smaller [drink]

Front Suspension: Ducati Pantah 600 forks; Triple clamps from 450 Ducati Single
Rear Suspension: Koni rear shocks
Carburetion: 30mm DellÃ"rto Ducati GT750 carburettors and custom-made bellmouths
Exhausts: Custom made stainless steel exhausts

That V50 is very nice looking.
however the front brake splitter mounted on the frame makes me very nervous for some reason.
The custom calipers themselves look a little flimsy but still... a beautiful machine.

Same setup on the Ducati Pantah and Cagiva Alazzurra
The pressure switch is mounted in it on those.
I seem to remember on the Guzzis the brakes were configured funny, like the pedal was the front left and the hand grip was the front right and rear, but don' quote me.
The pedal was left front and rear, the hand was right front. It was a treacherous system. I never understood why the bike would pull to one side or the other depending on which front disc was active, butt in rainy weather it would drop you like a rock.

The Laverda twin is supposed to have a more sophisticated feel compared to the big British twins. The buzz that the big parallel twins make as the RPM's rise is not present with the Laverda twin. The engine is nice and bulky and the frame also helps absorb any buzz. When Harris tried to make an aftermarket frame for this engine they quit after several attempts because the bikes would buzz. So they decided they couldn't do better than the factory frame.
It's a strong frame.

I've never ridden an English twin (actually, I might have ridden an 850 commando years ago), but if they vibrate more than a laverda I can't see how anyone could ever ride one. I have tried many times to like the sfc, but riding them just leaves me bewildered. like a 180 jota. the later 120 tripe is nice tho, pity it's trapped in an old tech, heavy, evil piece of crap.

I've ridden British twins...never a Laverda.
The Nortons and Triumphs vibrated, but were manageable.
The BSA 650 would shake parts off along any length ride.
I've also ridden British singles. Those riders wore kidney belts for a reason. ;)
I've not ridden english or italian parallel twins.
I rode an XS650 a bit, I found the vibration overbearing.
My friend who owned the bike didn't mind it.
500 and 600 Yamaha singles were OK, but at my tolerance limit.

I rode a Triumph 750 Bonneville for a few years, and for me, the shaking and vibration was a part of the ride I found invigorating. It feels and sounds like a real motorcycle. Like my S2R. My dad loaned me his Honda Gold Wing once. It sounds like a Singer sewing machine. [laugh] Not for me.
The Triumph 500 twin is a very smooth bike. Possibly the smoothest English twin there is.

I think if anything they could have dremeled off the very bottom one or two inches, to make the bottom of the cowl parallel with the subframe.

I could find a UK price list that lists them for the M796 at 981 GBP front and 1196 GBP for the rear. Works out to be about US$3200 at current rates :(

This is my "other" project. A 1968 Aermacchi/Harley. I only work on it a couple of hours a week so it has been a slow process. What makes it a cool Italian bike?
My uncle set the 125cc world land speed record with it in 1970 at Bonneville. He also raced it on tracks all over the West. He garaged it uncovered for 40 years so we had to repaint the frame and all the silver stuff. We left the tank and headlight stock. I also rebuilt the wiring harness as all the wires were brittle beyond reason. Surprisingly there is a great source for NOS parts so I also replaced all the gaskets and seals.

I actually did not take many. The first shots before restoration got lost with a phone. He had misplaced the original speedometer, but we found the horn. All had been removed to save weight.\

The record was 78.2 if I remember right. While it may not seem that fast I have sat on the thing and it is tiny to say the least. He did odd stuff to shed weight as well. He took off the seat and rode on a towel as well as made rigid lightweight links to replace the rear shocks. Weight was a concern lol.
He says it did wheelies in the first three gears when new. To top it all off I can pick the entire bike up in my arms with no help from anyone. Looking forward to riding it this summer [Dolph]

The original prototype put out 20HP? still with 4-speeds ? lapped faster than the best CR93 Honda DOHC twin or Bultaco TSS.' Features include racing brakes, remote float Del Orto carb, expansion chamber design exhaust and very light weight, especially without the somewhat heavy full fairing.

Not to be picky but not only the brakes but the aluminum rims as well! Back in the '70's when we were trying to make silk purse racers out of the pig street bikes we had ( [laugh] ) one of the most desirable mods we were after were those rims, spokes & brakes. Frame work was out of the question for us and we had to make do with fiberglass tanks. Aluminum tanks were only owned by the gods. If you could roach a Fontana front brake set up you were stylin' big time.
Thats a nice spark arrestor silencer setup there..

Aermacchi

Aermacchi
I was just about to post that it was an Aermachi this morning! Thanks Spike, I am a bit of a fan of them. [thumbsup]
That is a very nice looking Aermacchi.
I do have to ask though. For all of you folks that fancy yourselves as fans of the brand, have you ridden one?

The user here 'Cloner' races a 250cc Aermacchi in vintage ultra-light wieght class locally. I've ridden the bike in the pits. It's fun... PM him for more info.
I've also 'got running' an early 70's Aermacchi 350SS. That was more fun due to the more street nature of the bike. Still odd as I'm not used to right side GP shifting.

I have one in the shop that my uncle set the 125cc land speed record at Bonneville in 1970. It is almost finished with the partial restoration and all I am waiting for is the threads to be repaired to the fuel valve and the switch mounted to the bar. Then we are both gonna ride the heck out of it. Plan on taking it to Carmel on May 17th for a show. Gonna have the record on display as well as his helmet and leathers.
It will absolutely be ridden. My uncle has already purchased a new jacket, boots and helmet for the little beast.

I've got a perfectly good set of forks that would be much more at home on that bike than those.
I'll even trade straight up.
Thought it was interesting these pictures show different forks on it:

The right side shifting never really bothered me as my Norton had that set up. The bikes are fun in a funky sort of way but they still had crap suspension and crap brakes. That was OK as they didn't really have any power anyway. [laugh] [laugh] It's just that for the time the Ducati singles with the desmo heads were way better. Hey, you could argue that old BSA 350 Victors were better. ;D

Ask Cloner about passing an R1 on his Aermacchi... His bike is lightly 'massaged' (I'm not allowed to say much more than that...)

That was always my impression on the older ones as a pal who rode with me had a LeMans. 8)
Compared to my 900 SS or my R100RS Motorsport, the Guzzi used to fall into turns and required effort to get it back up. Not something I enjoyed. No idea about the current generation...
The 600 SL I had was the most nimble but got too cramped as the years rolled on... ;)

I had a Guzzi T3 and while it had abysmal horse power it was a cornering fiend! Dunlop TT 100 tires and Koni shocks made it amazing in the twisties, which was good because I could not afford to slow down for the corners!

This bike was at the local Guzzi/Aprilia dealer when I stopped by yesterday for some race parts. I couldn't believe it, as I've admired them for a long time, but never actually seen one in person.
It is a Moto Guzzi MGS-01. It is #13 out of only 60 ever made...and was bought by a local Guzzi fan from a dealer in Denmark. I believe they were made in the 2005-2006 timeframe.
One of the coolest bikes ever made IMO. Superb styling and superb simplicity. Not the fastest or the lightest, but one of the coolest. It is probably the #1 motorcycle on my want list...defintely top 3.

I agree wholeheartedly about that Goose. It is one of those bikes that miraculously loose a hundred pounds when they start moving.

Track only, and the rear stand is fine...the back isn't square, but is V shaped so the point of the V is right behind the rear tire.

Roger that on the track only. No problemo. The rear stand still looks off & I checked several images of this bike where it's on a rear stand. All of the rear stands look square to the swing arm except in the above picture. "the point of the V is right behind the rear tire" ? ? ? In front of the rear tire maybe?

I don't know man, here's another shot of it inside the shop from their FB page. What I meant by the V comment is the back of the stand isn't straight...it has a bend in the middle. Who cares though...if it wasn't straight it would fall off since it uses spools.

ah.... never mind then.... probably... :-\
I'm waiting for him to call me if he wants to sell it (and keep his side of the deal). He said he would organize something after Easter. If he calls I'll ask him about the 500 Camel. I've called a guy in Perth that doesn't want to sell, but might have to in order to fund his Dakar foray this year (Lucky Explorer 750 Monofaro).
the later ones are nice...

Maybe this deserved a build thread, probably not. However, SHE LIVES! This little bike is now up and running. We had one tiny glitch in that the 40 year old taillight bulb burned out and for some silly reason one needs a working taillight to stay running.
Anyway, my Uncle set the 1970 125cc two stroke land speed world record at Bonneville Salt Flats in 1970. A whopping 78.6mph. In order to do it he removed everything that weighed anything, including the seat and the rear shocks. He sat on a towel.... We will be at the Quail Lodge Motorcycle Gathering on the 17th of this month. Pretty excited to see her run again as I got my desire to ride watching my uncle pull wheelies and standing on the seat when I was five.

Hope whoever built that likes it a lot, it kinda makes me want to [puke] The headlight being extra long with the tail being so short is just goofy. The engine is pretty though [thumbsup]
Headlight smells like 999 block. So most of the bike.
Yup. Early 999 minus the plastics.
It's on bikeexif with some explanation of the choices.
Mmm... nope.
That looks terrible
It's a 749 and as few have said, [puke] specially at the tail . . .
According to legend, it's the first Ducati to have been shown in BikeEXIF . . . ???
Edit:
We, at Pro Italia, are all very, very proud of our good friend Gustavo Penna whose Ducati was just featured (first time ever for a Ducati) in Bike EXIF. Check out this bike and the article. We're gonna convince Gustavo to bring it to the showroom.
PS - if you think his bikes are beautiful you should see his cinematography

i had a 749 in this week and with the fairing off the air runners, with the flat blade on the left and the coolant res on the right, add a lot of visual weight that i really think this thing could have done with. and it'd make the headlight look less like a bulldog head.

Man, those wheels look *huge*.
Any info on what size they are?
Wheels are harley V-rod.
Odd comments out of the folks @ Pro-Italia regarding the rideable-vomit that once was a 749.
ESPECIALLY odd comments considering that my Bobbed-Monster won their precious Café-Desmo show coveted "Best of Show" in 2006 AND was featured in Bike-Exif AND I have worked @ Pro-Italia AND still know a few of the guys on a first name basis...
But, I digress a little. Perhaps it has been too many years...
I'M NOT BITTER!!! (lol!) [popcorn] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]
AND GET OFF MY LAWN! ;D
I'm sure the comment about the naked 749 bike being the first Ducati shown on Bikexif.com was made by a relatively new, non-enthusiast employee.
It's been like 7 or 8 years. I'm not angry or bitter. Just waving my internet-fist in the air a little.
I'm really quite amused by it all. [drink]

I love the front fender. I'd like to get one of those. I've never seen or noticed an oil cooler mounted on the side. Perhaps this was a mod done because the small fender wouldn't keep rocks off of the oil cooler in its original location.

The owner/creator of that bike is QUITE opinionated and full of himself..... Gives Ducatisti a bad name IMHO
That bike is nearly perfect.
Another from today's local Classic & Vintage bike show in Powhatan, VA. 1966 250 Diana. Checked this online to be sure my Halfheimers wasn't getting in the way and one very similar sold at Bonhams /Quail in 2010 for $17,500 with buyer's premium. This one is nicer. ;) (http://gallery.leica-users.org/d/389208-1/1966-Ducati-250-Diana.jpg)

they obviously got the st3 dash to work then.
That is a freakin' cool bike [drool]
And oddly enough, it's got lights and blinkers and a mirror and a license plate.
And seems to have all of the other stuff necessary to be a functional riding moto.
[beer]
i had discussions with them about fitting a non 749 dash, and reflashed the ecu for them to be immo off. we figured an st3 might just work, with the canbus and all.
i certainly wouldn't give it a roadworthy certificate, but it's better than a lot of them.
What would it need for a 'roadworthy' in your neighborhood?
That bike could be ridden here and not attract unwanted attention unless the seat-to-handlebar nut caused it.

Probably could get away with riding it here too without attracting too much unwanted attention (it has NSW plates after all).
But that isn't the same thing as getting a roadworthy certificate out of Brad ;D

Careful about that wish. When reading up on the Brutale (before buying the Duc) it seems that the glass just up and falls off the headlight once in a while. When it does? Bye bye $450.00

it's not a bad paint layout, but the orange on that bike.. meh.. i like the side fairing decals a lot though.
that SS needs to be red though. just needs it.
looks like they used the orange from the sport 1000.

altho, the black lower section needs to follow the angle of the lower edge of the tail panel. it'd flow down just nice from there.

Wishful thinking, no doubt. 8) Although I DID have a 220 lb. Maico 440 GS with the same output as the Borile and know how THAT felt. (Wheelies in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th. ;D)
Just glad I live in the country and have no real use for the Borile. If I lived in the city or the burbs, I might be pining away or eyeing the 401K. [roll]
Maico 440GS?
I'd be in jail or a hospital with one of those equipped with a license plate.
Not really.
I've ridden open class 2-stroke dirt bikes.
They're kinda fun, like it'd be if you snuck up on mike Tyson.
But you always know chances are good you'll get hurt bad.
;D
It has a plate and was "road-legal" in the day. I still have that plate! NJ ***CZ ironically. 8) I did ride it three miles on the road to get to my play mountain which was the training ground for several ISDT/ISDE Gold Medalists. Steep, tight, mud, trees and rocks. Everything in the middle there is linked and tight trails/state forest. http://binged.it/1l81yDL (http://binged.it/1l81yDL)
Send me a PM with your e-mail if you're interested and I'll send you snaps the Maico specialist who bought it mailed my son. Seems it takes awards wherever he shows it. This is the collector/dealer. http://www.eastcoastmaico.com/ (http://www.eastcoastmaico.com/)

400 was "safe". 440, 490 and 501 could blow your foot off starting it, so I stayed well to the side and spun it with Heckel boots! ;D
One time and you'd learn.
Looked at the eastcoastmaico website, no aluminum coffin tanks at all. Strange.
Came pretty close to getting one of those rotary-valve 125's back in the day.
Open class bikes in amongst the trees?

They did a bloody good job on it. I can look at that for a long time.
Those guys are about an hour from my house. I'm going to have to pay them a visit.

My biggest complaint is the seat.
It sticks out like sore thumb.
<rimshot>
Honestly, I really like most of it. The fairing, the paint job.
But a chromes SSSA with a black frame?
A green/gold paint job and an "Eraser Pink" seat that spills over the pan?
A well-executed vision of a poorly-conceived customer idea.

Agreed. As the saying goes "there's no accounting for good taste". The tan leather trim pairs really well with the green tank. The result is a beautiful & unique bike. Love it!!

I once had a 1976 Jaguar XJ 12: forest green, gold pinstripes, lots of chrome, and tan leather interior.
Something like this.......

Did he just use the words Jaguar and work in the same sentence? Everyone knows those old Jags don't work for more than a few miles at a time.[laugh]
A green Jag was what came to mind when I saw that bike. As for the tan looking other than tan. I'm pretty certain it's just lighting.

Thus the rewiring and chev motor mods. :D
British racing green does suit some cars. Saw a genuie Shelby Cobra in BRG the other day.
The bike would look better with a better cafe' styled seat and tail section. Polished or brushed alloy may have looked better than chrome too. A more proportionate front bubble may have helped.

I love the Mito. Wish they'd made the 500cc
Yes, a few years back the Costa Rica dealer had 2 available 125cc 4 stroke, but the price was just, waaaaaaaaaaaay too mch
the good old mito. there was an odd green one at one point. early ones were 7 speed, went back to 6 in 99 maybe.
there was some at the factory with sv60 motors in them, and also husky singles. but nothing came of them.
i haven't worked on one for years, thank christ.
Hrmmm... looks a bit like a Paso.
that's the freccia

I've wondered if the Mito would be a good track bike for one of my daughters. She wants a Monster for a street bike, bit wants to do track days. I know she'd love the look of it that's for sure.
it's a 2 stroke. how often do you want to be fixing it?
check tyre availability. lots of the skinny stuff is hard to get in sticky now.
That's true about hi performance two strokes I've seen. Top end rebuilds seem to be in hours not tens of 1000s of kilometres. A Husky WR 250 can have the head off for a check and possible rebuild after 10 hrs of hard use. Is that a comparable repair schedule you would be looking at for the Mito with track use?

Beautiful GT but I cant get behind the tan seat & grips with that color scheme. Its asking for a black seat.
For me its the plastic buckles on the tank bra..........WHY???? Polished metal or brass would flow with the theme better!

Hopefully not a derby, pretty cool scrambler build:

Here's one possibility of what a Naked 1199 Panigale Streetfighter might've looked like...

Never minded "true" cafe bikes back in the day. Even owned a Rickman Matisse for a while in the '70's..., but all these "caffed" bikes seem more punk than cafe..., like a woman with no derriere. ???
Can't grasp the chopped tail look on modern modded bikes either. To me they look "incomplete".
Faired would be cool..., but they'll screw that up too... [roll] With the exception of the "fly in the paint", there was nothing wrong with the original!

Trends do come and go, the "Cafe bike" is the lattest in bike to build. Funny how alot of chopper shops are doing them now that the Chopper fad has died down. As far as custom bike trends go the cafe bikes are the ones I find my self liking the most. I still prefer the older bike with more modern suspension look. Here is an interesting article on the custom bike scene, I don't agree with everything but he does make some good points.

Couldn't have been THAT uncommon on a '73 750 SS as I nearly bought one in NJ like that myself! Bought an early R90S instead.

This 750 was based on Hailwood's 500 GP MV IIRC. One of the nicest for sure but VERY expensive even back then!

No. slight thread jack. But what I'm talking about relates somewhat to things I would like on my Ducati, and there isn't really a need to start a whole new thread about that.
I disagree.
It doesn't belong in here, and if there are functional elements on a bike you think Ducati should adopt, what better reason for a new thread?

Minor details, but.....
It's an aluminum tube, black, in this case.
Originally they were clear anodized, so were silver.
With a short section of (red) rubber hose on both the radiator and pump ends.

Alright.
I'll be the party pooper. I hate the frame.
My DR650 said it thinks the frame looks OK though.
+1. Although "hate" is strong. Just not a great looking frame and the white only makes it stand out more.
I also agree with Mad Duck re thigh burn.
Still, if this were the scrambler, I'd buy it. Looks fun!

Pretty much every ducati before about 85 had the carb there.

Now that I keep looking the air intake can't be for the horizontal cylinder; can it? It could be for the vertical cyl but it would still be a bad idea for placement even if they did produce them like that.
I think they have individual velocity stacks on each carb. You can see the one for the vertical cylinder behind the one for the horizontal in that picture.

Paso motor in a VFR chassis. Superlight tail/SS fairing is obvious enough. Must be a VFR tank. Maybe a VFR 400 or 750 chassis, not sure. 916 wheel/swingarm or just wheel conversion? Interesting to see more pics.

Ah yeah, it's even got the same ribs running along as a VFR. That's right, there was another one like that with a Lavvy motor iirc. So Spondon probably supplied their own rear end, or 916 grafted on?
Yup, 916 swing arm . Bolts right up to a 906.

"Slowing it down" implies that it was ever going fast to start with.

No screen. Hey, if you want to get double digit horsepower you need to make some compromises!
Seriously though, the bike sees maybe 50 miles per year. It's at 0 miles so far this year. If I ever decide to actually use it I'll put something else on it.
If you have it jetted for that stack, a conical K&N of the same diameter will direct and flow the same amount of air with no change of jetting, or at least that's been my experience.

got any more info on this DD?
almost looks like a xr 750 tank and seat
It should be a 748 motor. The class limit is 750 cc. Back in the day (70s-80s) guys would put their motor of choice in Champion, Trackmaster, or Hindel specialty frames. The companies selling the frames also sold tanks, seats, and body work to match. Then select your wheels, tires, brakes, & suspension and go racing! This looks like the old Champion design if I had to guess.
That looks like an air-cooled DS1100 engine. Perhaps it was de-stroked in order to meet a 750cc limit.
Anyone familiar with this FIAT Shifty? A buddy of mine in the UK is interested.

I am surprised about the motors over 750cc that are allowed today. Most guys do run 750 cc. I was at Pamona 1/2 mile last weekend and a 650 Kawasaki won the event over a slough of XR 750s.
Yet another Scrambler....

Yeah, thanks for that. I was trying to expand the conversation
Around what appears to be a pretty rare bike.
:D
It looks to me that it was some kind of abortive attempt at starting a motorcycle manufacturing company. I'm sure the idea was solid on paper.
I'm not so sure that it looked good on paper.
53 hp @ 5600 rpm, 45.6lb/ft @ 3000 rpm, and 592 lbs.
That's less power and the same peak torque as my M750, and ~200 lbs heavier. :P
I'd imagine running costs were low.
Dunno how reliable Fiat 127 motors are.
there's a reason that many things are rare.
Too weird to live, too rare to die.

Wow, that's a really nice looking bike! [drool]
A buddy had an SS Darmah. Due to a parts shortage his came with polished rods/crank, ported heads, endurance racing cams, race valve job, polished case internals, etc. They scabbed up parts from the race shop to make up his bike. He regrets selling that one.
I regret selling my Darmah too...
even though it was the single most unreliable piece of machinery I have ever had the frustration to own.
I guess you would rebuild and rewire one if you found one now. Thats what me mate did when he found factory race parts.
A very well executed S4Rs

I originally saw it on my phone and didn't realize it was the 904 version, which is an adaptation of the E900.
The LS 750 was much sexier IMHO..
But the E900 was pretty cool too:

Hipsters are risk-averse. [roll] They want their iToys to be fast though... [thumbsdown]
the thing is, they arent. they waste TONS of money making clapped out bikes less capable bikes, then they choose "pretty" gear regardless of how protective it is (if they choose any gear at all)
and once they have this hard tailed, no brake power, no lights death traps they go wide open stoplight to stoplight weaving through traffic as they please.
they love risk, they just love
stupid risks.
at least thats what I learned from them in my time working at a rather famous motorcycle coffee shop...
Bizarre..., and I'll take your word for it! Wonder if natural selection will kick in? ;D

Disagree.
The tail section plastics may be a bit... egregious, but the bike as a whole is damn sexy to me.
Also looks like a ridiculously fun ride until I either shit my leathers, or hit something and disintegrated into my component pieces.
Ok then. It's seriously make the beast with two backsing ugly. I don't give a shit if it is fast. [puke]

Funny people always think my monster is "fast" they don't even realize my buddies $4,000 used FZ-1 is way faster.... Damn Monster barely goes 130mph.
Of course it does everything better than the FZ-1 except being faster....

I think I'd prefer to raise the hem on the tail plastics a solid 6" or so and actually see the expansion chamber poking out the bottom, but I still think it's a good looking bike.

I was thinking of Randy, before you entered the scene. His went a lot faster than yours. Also scored a lot of Walmart girls.
ok
If I got clocked at 133 mph on a 620 I'd demand to see the calibration certificate...

and no power.
Quote from: brad black on December 31, 2014, 04:05:08 AM

I was going to say with tires that big and no power, it would be more likely to get stuck in the mud than ride through it. Tires notwithstanding, it does look good though.
Don't kid yourselves. Neither the Ducati scrambler or the Guzzi scrambler were ever intended to get anywhere close to the dirt. Possibly easy riding on gravel roads but that might be pushing it too. Just like the old Honda CL72 - CL77 and Yamaha Big Bears this is only a styling exercise.
Yep, this ^. They are for urban hipsters. But unlike skinny jeans I would love to own either one...
Interesting take on the Alazzurra. Notably, there are a LOT of original components -- suspension, motor, brakes, wheels, tank.. but they look very different like this!

They're not trying to mass produce them for the public.

Their goal is to pump more air/fuel mixture thru the combustion chamber. It looks to have more valve area than a 4-valve head could manage.

250cc two stroke? The guys who rode the old 500cc two strokes were riding wild beasts compared to the new four stroke classes with ABS & traction control.
For example, Randy Mamola (below) King Kenny, Kevin Schwantz, Eddie Lawson, Marco Luchenelli all rode these untamed beasts.

Tell us how you really feel.
I like the first one, but in reality I'd never buy it---I'd just get as Husqvarna or some other thumber to play in dirt. Still, the design is coherent and pretty nice.
Anyone know how much these things weigh stock? And roughly how light could one make it via mods and junk removal?
The 1st one is by far the best, but it still sucks IMO. Spindly forks, too small of a headlight, ugly exhaust, etc. Sill the best by far though. The last one is a friggin' disaster front to back.

This is a Revival Cycles build - I saw it in their shop. It's pretty much stock, save for the seat, exhaust, and paint. They said it was a "budget build."

Do you like whisky? How about wu liang ye whisky? It's an acquired taste.
I like it. Simplistic, artful, and functional. "Sano" was the term we used to describe clean, lean machines in the 1970s.
They ain't nothing wrong with an equal length 2-1 megaphone exhaust, especially in TT config. Cats with the know how pulled 103hp out of 840ccs... And that's impressive.

Ok, now that is a conversion that makes sense!
i think they put on the plain jane marzocchi 32mm forks, which i really don't think is enough for htat bike. would have been better to keep the original triple and use M1R from a Paso.
don't let koko see it. he'll be converting the hm.
Na, the Hyper is too unique ;)
But doing it to an older E750, hmm.. Sorry Tiz. ;D It is a good platform.

I dunno. I've thought about doing something similar with my 650 Elefant, but...I don't like the square tubed frame. Even though it's practical and doesn't use the motor much as a stressed member I think it's heavy, both physically and visually. With all due respect to the builder, the bike would've been better off left as an Elefant, IMHO.

The tank sort of reminds me of what the vintage BMW guys call a toaster. But the rest of the bike is OK. The Hi Low pipes seem kind of awkward at first but maybe less awkward than getting the horizontal cylinder high or the vertical cylinder low. No bulging pipe loops. And the builder evidently has enough money to buy a mandrel tubing bender, no gobbed up welds every 3mm along the length of the pipes.
I like the swingarm, looks simple like something I could build. I read through the website and the bike was designed and built by an ex-racer and it's designed to handle as well as just looking like a custom bike.
But the tank needs work.
The tank is fine, the rest of the bike is fine, the tank and bike as one piece? Far from fine.

Heavy? A stock V50 weighs around 350 lbs. wet and this one should be even lighter. Yes, it probably only has about 30 rwhp.
My MZ Silver Star has a whopping 34 bhp and weighs 349 lbs. Most fun I've had on a motorcycle in a long time (probably since my last Morini). Teaches you to be a good rider, not one that relys on horsepower to mask the lack of skill.

compare that v50 to any normal 500cc ish off rider and it'd be slow, heavy and crap was my point. but then again, i'm often wrong.

Its a fair point. We know small capacity Guzzis are slow and heavy. It is possible to still have fun on such a ride though. And this one - IMO - is cool. Slow, heavy but cool. And I'd love to own something like it.

You touched a happy nerve for me there. My 350cc Morini 3 1/2 was underpowered when compared to most 250cc machines of the era. Yet, it taught me to become a better rider. My boots got worn out from grounding on that bike (no knee downs in those days [laugh]). A low power, grin-from-ear-to-ear machine.

Not for nuthin...Walt's bikes are not 100hp. He didn't make that claim, but when the WSJ puts it in print it seems so true.
WS Custom Bikes are beautiful to say the least. I cant speak to performance & handling never having had the opportunity to ride one but the specs certainly sound good. And the looks... man oh man those are some gorgeous bikes. [drool]
Walt is a great designer.
This Wrench Monkees 900SS custom is pretty sweet as well especially considering how many stock parts they kept. Walt's bikes are pretty much just the original engine.

Here's another one of my favorite Walt Siegl builds. As you can see I'm partial to the IMOLA style Bubble Fairing. The Seat, the exhaust, the paint scheme the shock PC'd Red for a splash of color. All very tastefully done.

Actually all the running gear is stock...save for a little bling here or there. The body work and the frame is different on Walt's bikes.
Well for a Standard Leggero base model Foot Controls, Hand Controls and Engine are stock thats about it. And when you consider how the engine is rebuilt and modified pretty much just the hand controls and foot controls are stock which is weird cause that's one of the easiest and first things people change on their bikes (at least that's what I did).
(Standard) Leggero Specs
Frame â€" WSM chrome/moly tubing chassis
Bodywork â€" WSM kevlar tank with fuel barrier lining. WSM kevlar tail. WSM rear fender
Engine â€" Bruce Meyers Performance fully blueprinted stock spec rebuilt 900SS
Suspension â€" Showa front, Showa rear
Brakes â€" Gold Line Brembo calipers
Electronics â€" Motogadget speedo/tachometer, Ducati Performance ECU program
Wheels â€" Cast aluminum Brembo. Dunlop Q3 tires
Exhaust â€" Stainless headers, WSM stainless mufflers
Foot Controls â€" Stock 900SS
Hand Controls â€" Stock 900SS

This pic was taken by a pro photog for the WSJ. They thought the bike was a little 'over the top' and made the pics come out very subdued.
The paint is actually something like 5 coats of medium/large flake over a black base and in the sunlight will blind you. It was a lot of fun doing it.

Not sure...
I think putting the bike in the rag was a stretch from the outset, and they didn't want to offend the sensibilities of the conservative business types.
It's all ancient history anyway.

Hated like mad selling it..., but by age 45, even if you ARE the right size, bending that way for hours gets tiring unless you can really keep moving. Fantastic handling bike though, and quite quick enough for USA roads after tuning and going on a diet as shown. :)
I wonder if one could stuff an 1100ds engine in one of those..........

Very cool! You've got a lot of work invested there. :) Long winters in PA? Had a 250 factory road racer ~ 1964 when I was in school in PA. It had the red/crome earlier tank though. Berliner must have sold quite a few bikes in PA in the '60's.

.... those Contis sounded bloody glorious [drool]
750's are bringing over $100K at auction lately, so not unlike seeing a 250 GTO on the track... ;D But it happens...
Ironically, I saw a gold and black 900 Supersport yesterday morning in downtown Sydney. Looked awesome clean and sleek.

Can't be. That's a 125 cc 2 stroke. The frame on the CX is nothing, probably weighs as much as the Ducati's rear shock.

I always liked them except for the tail section. The gray bike is heavily modified, I dig the front signals down on the fairing and I might steal the idea of the paint stripe on the rear wheel.

Check out the Moto Wheels Bursi-bodied 999 - it looks amazing.
http://s1289.photobucket.com/user/kneesup84/media/Ducati%20999R%20Febur-Bursi%20Evolution/IMG_0163_zps2bd75d77.jpg.html?sort=3&o=38 (http://s1289.photobucket.com/user/kneesup84/media/Ducati%20999R%20Febur-Bursi%20Evolution/IMG_0163_zps2bd75d77.jpg.html?sort=3&o=38)
The Bursi body kit really makes the bike, but it's long since entered the unobtanium realm. Apparently only four bodies were ever made, and two have since been destroyed. The Motowheels one sold to a guy in the UK a couple years ago, and then he sold it a few years after that.
Anyone has an idea about this:

the main complaint with the 999 is the headlight and the Bursi doesn't even address that.

I've been there. :P
Not much originality on the color...I mean it's slightly different but... :-\
Nice concept,

I could work with this.
All the gold would have to go of course but there is a good foundation there IMHO.
The headlight setup works, wheel style is nice and I love the exhaust. Seat/tail looks good from that angle.

Cool Japanese bikes?
I guess its a good use for CX500 motor. Those early CV carbs are a bugger to fix without big dollars. Better and cheaper to put some Mikuni VMs on there and be done with it.
D'oh!
I posted that one too quickly.
Cool bike anyway I guess.

Almost 20 years later and it's still a good looking bike! Good design is good design!
I do remember that my dad said this was a Vespa.
Does that count as a Miscellaneous Cool Italian Bike?

I dig the yellow, much less the decals.
Mimicking the first 92 Superlight. A bit 80s. I liked the later SL decals minus the 1.

1938 Galbusera 500cc Two-Stroke V8
Plinio Galbusera and engineer Adolf Marama Toyo[1] initially built 173 to 498 cc Python (Rudge-Whitworth) - and Sturmey-Archer engines into their frames, but in 1938 they made two larger models. One was a 249.2 cc four-two with compressor; the other had a 498.4 cc eight cylinder engine built from two coupled four blocks. It also had a compressor.
Galbusera did not intend to develop much power. His primary goal was to create reliable machines and the top speed of 150 km / hour was very acceptable.
After 1945, the standard engine was 125 to 175 cc with two-Sachs-blocks, later replaced by Villiers engines. In 1955 they began to have financial problems and production was terminated.

Apparently the "no expense spared restoration" didn't include a front brake cable, clutch cable or throttle cable.

that's Alan Cathcart riding what I'm pretty sure is Wayne Pattersons (Patto) wife's bike.
Patto owns Bunbury Ducati which is about an hour down the road from me.
That looks like Collie track where he's riding. One of 2 tracks here in WA.
I've ridden there a few times... fun little track! [thumbsup]

This is Fat Bob's...naked. Belongs to a good friend of mine that hasn't figured out how to get on the forum...or post pics.
This is the bike that I rode out in Michigan when my SBK was ailing this summer. 800 motor, flatslides ported by Bruce Meyers, built by the vet and Bob, the owner...and 323 lbs wet with the fairings on. There's likely 5K worth of Ti on this bike. You really have to look closely to see all the little details, and you only have to think about turning, and it happens. If the bike was mine the only thing I'd do is put some friggin brakes on it...that ought to piss Bob off. ;D
Hopefully he'll send a pic of it dressed. The logo is great.
Oh yeah! [evil] 8)
Wow.
very nice.. love that rear brake hanger and the frame mod to hold the seat.. got any more of it assembled?

Funny, I just noticed that the kickstarter has to swing out & around the shift lever & the foot peg. You have to kick that thing over & hope you don't stab the rearset or the shifter while you're doing that.
Truly beautiful though ......... both the above bikes.

Tarted-up 600SS. I think that's the best of the lot. 600ss was the lightest factory bike that Ducati made for a long time (172kg wet). I got mind down to 160kg wet by using a lighter header, swapping the plastics for a monopost setup, using carbon everywhere and deleting a bunch of stuff (like wiring) and factory pegs. It is the most flickable bike I own -- whopping 60+hp (FCR39s on 620 heads)

Love Tiz's E650.
I sold it. Wasn't riding it enough and I have (cough cough) 7 bikes left, plus a garage full of parts and frames.
Fellow I sold it to is restoring it to showroom cognition. He had copies made of all the rubber and is hand-detailing the paint and plastic. Nutter!
Now that's sold to a good home [thumbsup]

I like the attempt, but the SBK front just doesn't go with the tank imho. The lines are different. Those SBKs had a fairly long flat tank compared to the SS tank. I can live with the tail with that exhaust and I love the frame color.
Curious why they don't upgrade to a free floating caliper?
It's very nice.. I'd F**k it.
That would be a fun track bike. It's nicely done. If I got to a stage when I thought the Gixxer was too much hp for me I would step down to a torquey 90hp 2 valve package. Maybe an SS half fairing, but I dunno. It looks beautifully functional.

It has some merit...
but the tail just doesn't work with the rest of the bike.

Was it a crashed Mantra?
http://www.bikeexif.com/bimota-db3
I dunno, the Mantra was so wrong it was right. Made sense when I saw a pic of a guy riding one wearing a Batman suit. Riding alongside him was a guy on an early M900 in a gorilla suit. It was in an issue of AMCN years ago.
Still doesn't work.
Seemed to with Batman aboard. ;) A mate has the copy stored away so I'll try and get a pic.

SDS: "Erm, yah, well damn ..... the tech was taking the tank off for the 12th time..... and..... "
PO: " And? "
SDS: "Mmm, how can I put this..... Shit, he just lost it. He started screaming like a crazed baboon."
SDS: "He ran out through the front door with all the bodywork, and just dropped it in the middle of the road."
PO: " OH NO!"
SDS: "Rrrr, yeah, it was really crazy. Then he set it all on fire."
PO: " SHIT! IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET? ! ?"
SDS: "Unfortunately, yeah. Then he just ran off, yelling how he was going to get even with those mothermake the beast with two backsers."
PO: " IT ALL JUST BURNED UP? "
SDS: "Yeah, it did. Man it was a big fire, the tank was near full I guess. Our fire extinguishers did make the beast with two backsall."
SDS: "The shipping clerk did his best, as he got there first, but he couldn't save it. He looks really weird now with his hair and eyebrows burned off."
SDS: "The hospital says he'll be OK, that's good, but now the Fire Marshall is here, and man he's really pissed."

(The above story can be confirmed as very likely true by anyone who's done the slightest bit of work on a Mantra, or even any Bimota)

DB1 would have been a pita to work on too I reckon.
Strange thing about that story is it is believable. Forgot about the Mantra. Thanks for reminding me Kopf :P

While I think its cruel to shackle a sport bike the second one looks good for what it is. Sidecar racers asked me to be a "swinger" when I was young and lean. No way when you look at the stats.

Yeah, I did two for him.
Considering an auto clutch, but he likes it this way due to his dirt riding background. The clutch is a thumb lever ala Doohan. I had a ride and nearly bloody killed myself [laugh]

I thought it was a modified F1 750, but a Hyper 1100DS motor resides within. That's a hell of a track bike.
Owner had a website detailing the bike, but apparently it's kaput now. :(
This page has two excellent bikes imo.
Some questions about the "F1 1100":
Is that a modified 900SSie (narrowed at the pivot) swingarm?
What mods to the F1 frame are required for the HM motor, or is it a an easier fit than a Monster motor?

One of Randy's Ti frames D?
More info here:
http://ottonero.blogspot.com/2015/03/hypertt.html
The swingarm is the last SS version, I'm assuming they modified the HM1100 cases to take the swingarm bearings.
They say it's a TT1 replica frame, DM.
DM frames was Reno Leoni's brother:
https://eatsleepride.com/c/21839/loudbike_tt1
The Redfox-Grinta "TT" frames appear to be made-to-order, or at least they want to know what 2V motor you're using.
Non-DS big block motors, the heads are 10mm higher than small block motors.
Considering how tight the TT frames fit the small case motors, I don't think a big block would fit an original TT frame.

Very true. Some years of F1 750 had such close frame to motor fit that there was not even room for air filters on the carbs.
The F1 1100 is a TT1100 according to the article. Ah I get, so TT replicato frames.
It has a carbon airbox (996 style?) with TPO like velocity stacks and makes about 95 CV hp. I really like this bike.

That colour ain't bad with the red wheels. Do you like the earlier headlight style or this one better? I kind of preferred the older rounder style which was more understated and elegant to my taste. This style smacks of VFR copy imo.

Wasn't giving you the stick, just the builders.
Some blogger had pics of it that looked like it could actually be ridden.
I just can't understand WTF they're doing when they release pics like that.
They didn't even have a chain to bodge on there with safety wire for those pics?
I didn't think you were giving me shit. I don't know what to tell you, maybe send them an email.

Too bad. Love that look -- but forget the Turbo. Nothing but trouble for a street bike.
This is my Italjet Ducati 600TL. It's undergoing renovation right now, but this is how it looked when I got it. It's clean but mechanically it was a mess.

I like that it doesn't look like it's internally combusted. I would've preferred CF wheels though. 15kWh battery pack? Whoa!
For reference: There is an expansion battery pack for the Zero S & SR bikes which raises the capacity to 13.0kWh and that yields a 202 mile city/hwy range for the SR. Admittedly, the 202 range is a published number so expect more like 150-175 depending on how ham-fisted you are. So for Italian Volt people to have claim to have a 15kWh battery pack is a marked improvement. I believe that would do an honest 200 mile range whether ham-fisted or not!

Fun video. The gearing is interesting. Looks like second is good for about 120mph, and once you're under 100 you can change down to first. (Although the rider short-shifts through much of it. As you would.)
Thanks to everyone who's keeping this thread going, especially Kopfjaeger. Basically, when looking for bike porn, I got to Bikeexif, Pipeburn, Walt Siegl's insta, and this thread.
Kopf, would you post any pics you have/direct me to where I might find pics of the front end of your bike, particularly the bracket and structure that fits your Motogadget speedo to the bike? It looks like a stock headlight bracket topped off by a Motogadget universal speedo bracket modified to fit a Monster? It's really clean and I'd love to know more about it.
Shoot me an email and I'll send a couple.

First edition 900SL, MKI. Those had the 2-pc Marvic magnesium wheels. They only made 500 or so world-wide of that year.
10,500 sounds high, but I think they were being sold at a premium especially later in the model year. I think they were originally priced around 9000 but dealers jacked the prices up.
One for sale at Pro Italia in LA. Enjoy!

Nice snaps but owned that exact bike for six months before trading for a 600SL. Got tired of the "same day" steering and the SL got a sprocket, 2 into 1, K&N's and jetting. Could leave the SS for dead in the twisties. ;)

Moto Guzzi V8 is my favourite so far. My father is riding one of these with a batwing attached. Actually I'm not a fan of batwings but he really can't stand to wind because of his neck problems. Unfortunatelly I can ride it only when I go to France for summer vacations since he retired and decided to buy an apartment on the French Riviera (https://tranio.com/france/cote_d_azur/apartments/) and moved in there. Well that's just really not fair.
You go to France, stay in your dad's place, ride a beautiful machine AND think life's unfair?

Heavy wheels though if they are indeed the old Brembos they appear to be. Imagine putting some forged mags on it.
Heavy brake rotors too, I guess part of the time period look.

That Sport Classic looks like it's gonna be a sweet build.
[drool] Some nice bikes.
I thought the Nuovo Scrambler's exhaust was a little too much but I would have accepted it on a Triple cyl bike. That old Scrambler is still so beautiful.
Aren't Lavvies hard arse looking bikes.

I have a 600ss. It is far from original at this point, lots of period upgrades and I swapped the crappy 600 heads for 620 big valve.
I need space right now, I might let it go. It's the only (legal) one in the US, I think.

Clutch, headlight, mirrors?
SS1000 swingarm, later model frame (it's stronger), aluminum subframe, titanium shock spring...
I really love this build. Gotta take into consideration, I'm just hyper critical. The bike is drop-dead gorgeous and a stellar combination of new tech and an older classic. I really love it.
https://www.motorcyclistonline.com/story/reviews/custom-ducati-motorcycle-motogp-inspired-dream/
I'll say it.
Why the bazinga calipers and OE 5-spokers?
I'd flip that budget every day and twice on Sunday, bazinga wheels and OE calipers.
But it's not my ride.
I don't think it's the end of the project. This article talks a lil bit about wheels

What is the difficulty of this engine swap? What is an approximate number of hours?
I do know that if you intend on keeping fuel injection (I would), you will at least have to cut out the straight horizontal tube (side to side) above the front engine mount & replace it with a curved tube to clear the throttle bodies. Also, the early frames are 10mm engine mounting bolts, so you'd have to address that too.
Or, just build it into a 2002-2007 frame.

Had a 750 Paso Limited with Reno's 38mm Dellortos fitted. Rode it until the first 25 851's arrived but never quite got used to the 16" front wheel which was current GP practice. A pal bought a 906 with 17" wheels which he kept for a very long time.

My first Duc was a 750 Limited. I'm still a sucker for the red wheels. I guess that's why I love my S4 Senna so much.

1987 Ducati F1B, second owner, period built racer with all of the best performance/race parts from the era, too much to list. Very nice condition, runs well. Originally these were not street legal but this bike has been CA titled and registered. Many documents and records including original purchase docs. Rare find, will trade for other interesting vintage or modern bike.
[drool]
Never rode a 750F1, but I am a big fan.
[drool]
It has 17" factory magnesium corsa wheels of the era. Would like to know the engine specs.
Maybe you should take some time off or just go on a full Cafe Racer binge and get smacked out. Surround your self with clip-ons, number plates, round headlights, and other shiny metal things

Jeebus that's a lot of work to turn a 998 into that.
Looking at it again, are those passenger pegs folded up just below the saddle?
He's done a really fantastic job displaying great skill. I mean I couldn't do that and how many could, but should you? [laugh]

Had them on my 750. Bolts pattern is the same, there is some open space.
Bolt on: yes. But the space Howie mentions is around the cam pulleys. The rubber backing things are a different shape than yours. Those swap too but may prove to be hard to come by.

I want to love it, I really do.....but...... bland is the word that keeps popping into my head when I see it. Not unpleasant to look at, just doesn't fill me with "must have" desire.
I wouldn't rule ownership out though - after all, you can't exactly call a Multistrada..... pretty.
Why does Morini still get trellis frames and we don't?
Ducati should have never sold Morini.
You can still buy pre 1990s Morini parts from Ducati at the factory. Not a well known fact. The old Morini factory was just down the road from the Ducati factory in Bologna. When they emerged from bankruptcy, they moved to Milano.
Morini factory pic: look at that frame....

Here's an interesting 1100 Evil [Evo] that, for an additional $2800, could be had with a set of BTS wheels

Same seller for both items.
Just 1 more. "... this was my second project" ?

Agreed. The Dowager's Hump frame style breaks the line under the tank. The 1100 Scrambler is more Monstrous.

Is there a dedicated rear stand for this bike?

I have the Guzzi one. It fits under small bobbins directly below the rider footpegs and is a PITA to use. I use it anyway.
I went to check it out today. Unfortunately the seller is firm on price and there are a few issues with the bike. No Sale. Have enough bikes in my garage anyway.
I have enough bikes in my garage too.
But I'd like to find room for a Kawasaki Z900rs.
And a Yamaha MT01.
Both cool, but neither Italian. Better let this thread get back on track....
