no, not any more.  plus, they are incorrect for a Ducati, albeit a highly modded, customized setup.  yes, they look kind of cool.  i don't know the weight of the tz250 offhand, but those 750ss roundcases run over 500 lbs and i want all the front braking ability i can get

The old bev. drives were pretty light, just over 400 lbs.  And I rode way back when and some of those hot rod drum brakes worked pretty well - relatively speaking.

But I hope that's not really Brad Pitt's bike.

my 1981 Darmah 900SS sitting in my garage was 470 lbs with no battery or gas in the tank when i had it shipped by Forward Air (they have a scales that is 10x10ft base).  they are pretty heavy bikes in factory kit.

im on the fence.  it has some neat aspects, and some not so neat aspects.  the only thing i am sure of is that the back of tank would shear you manly bits clean off in a collision

not my taste, but I'd want to see it in person before making a final judgment.

I think you'd have to see this bike personally and ride it to get a real sense of it.  I  know those Fontana brakes were OK in their day, but didn't good disks already exist?  They remind of of a classic misguided case of making something overly complex trying to breathe more life into an already superseded and dying technology. 

The bike picture kind of  reminds me of a two-wheeled  Philippines Jeepney, except the art of the Jeepney doesn't interfere with function.  I think we have better custom bikes right here, designed and built by  Duck-Stew and Norm.  Why don't the Hollywood illuminati discover and  buy them instead?  Why don't Angelina and Jennifer discover us too? 

Steve McQueen would never ride this thing.

If you ask me the bike looks like it has a British influence, that duc engine doesn't belong in there...

And that gear gazer is readily available, not really anything special...

Having said all that, I like it better than most of the customs I see these days  coffee
