Ducati Mutant, Chopper

[corndog67]

Let's make a good handling, fairly quick sport bike, into a bad handling, probably dangerous to ride, something or other.   Nice work, though.

It handles, stops and turns a lot better than a Suzuki M109R, and yes it`s rideable, still wouldn`t trade my Monster on it

[Blackout]

I'd ride it!

I doubt if it turns well with what appears to be 40 degrees of rake.

As choppers go, it turns

[El Matador]

What I don't get is the full ohlins. I mean, when you're pushing that degree of rake, handling kinda goes out the window

Choppers ain't my thing, but I think MotoCreations' Desmdevil is much better looking.

The footpeg mounts have been designed with a built in flaw to break off in the event of a tip over, but they can still take the owners 135 Kilo weight.

And I don`t like choppers, but this is way better than anything OCC can come up with.

Frame and tank uses styling cues from a monster.

Thank goodness - must be like the CycleCat frameslider design. I'm just looking at it as though they took a relatively "protected" part of the engine (because it is narrow) and subjected it to the flaw that BMW boxers have - ground-down heads where the oil flows out.

I think they just used what came with it. I agree - better off selling it, buying some chopper forks, and anodizing them gold so they look Ohlins-esque.

I'd really like to see somebody do the "chopper" thing with the front wheel design in the Tesi. I guess that's not the look, but it gets my attention every time.

[junior varsity]

i've always thought this was supermake the beast with two backsingcool. i wouldn't do it, but hell, if you've got loads of money, and already have all the other bikes you want, why not?

Also of note: This chopper and the desmodevil both have substantially thicker looking frames. Maybe its the lines that make them look bigger, but they always look far more robust than the standard Duc frame.

[Porsche Monkey]

Looks bent

[junior varsity]

Yeah, wheel isn't centered under bike.

Like this?

[junior varsity]

I'll be damned. its got Ducati-esque three spokers with a v-twin. That's some interesting exhaust. But that's no chopper, has rearsets and low bars.
