Ducati Vyper - Ducati is considering a new 1400cc power cruiser

[Monstermash]

GET REAL!  The stroke on the DS1000 is the maximum that the current 2V engine can handle @ 71.5mm.  There's NO way to get a 1400cc Duc 2V engine with the current cases.  Period.

It would require a completely scratch built engine and I just don't see them doing anything that large of scale just to build a cruiser. 


(besides, there's still living down the first Indiana debacle!) 

Wow, I didn't realize that the Testastretta was a 2V.

Japanese don't make original designs

fixed

(can't find a pic of the japanese sailors from the film 1949 trying to stuff a Wurlitzer radio into the hatch...)

"Ducati Vyper to Rival VMax and V-Rod"

They don't need 1400cc to do that, I guess if Ducati wanted to rival the VMax and V-Rod they could stuff some lead weights under the seat of the Street Fighter

Italians don't make cruisers.

Americans don't make sportbikes.

Brits don't make dirtbikes. 

Germans don't make bikes without heated grips

Japanese don't make . . . uh . . . er . . . uh . . . mmm  . . . uh . . . make the beast with two backs, ran out of wit. 

full size trucks.............?
just tryin to help...

Ummm...Hello! The same link is posted two posts up. It was ugly in that one and it hasn't changed just because you derbyed it. 

So yeah, Derby can bite me

Psst, Stew, it's a Testa engine...

[Duck-Stew]

pssssst  EVERYONE......

A DS1000 and the Testa cases are nearly the same damn cases (minus a few small changes which have nothing to do with the crankshaft). 

The crankshaft to timing lay-shaft dimension defines maximum crankshaft stroke on a Ducati V-twin. 

And it's frakkin' completely maxxed out with the 71.5mm crankshaft which resides in the DS1000 and DS1100 engines.

coming off a big bruiser motorcycle ( suzuki blvd M109r 1800 ) i really like it i would hit that in a heart beat.
pictures from this site are wicked although its way photochop

That pic looks like a vmax screwed a streetfighter.  (or vise versa take your pic)

So what about the 1198?

[Duck-Stew]

So what about the 1198?

106mm bore x 67.9 stroke.

If you were to put a DS1000 crank into it, the 1198 would yield a 1262cc engine.  A touch shy of 1400cc's.  They would need to put 112mm cylinders on it & a DS1000 crank in it to net a 1408cc twin.   

This entire thread is just another wild photo-chop by some motorcycle magazine looking for the next 'WOW!' bike from Ducati is all.  Look at that 'New SuperSport' that was supposedly coming out a couple months ago?!?  How about that 'New Pantah' bull-shit in another current thread...

[Popeye the Sailor]

I vote they bring back the Indiana.

[slyfox]

I thaught that the max capacity per cylinder is 600cc .. .. the max for a twin is 1200cc .....  ....

I wouldn't be surprised if Ducati makes a cruiser again.  I would be surprised if it is a 4 valve and looks sorta like a raked out Streetfighter.  They should probably sub contract the design to  Duck-Stew and Motocreations.

Funny you should mention that howie...  There *is* a new chopper/cruiser in the works!*



















*:  Works translates to:it's built already in my head....now I'm trying to finance it's real construction!
