I just saw a Ducati Monster Turbo on ebay.  Interesting concept.  But, I think it looks funny...

Has anyone seen this before?

What are your thoughts? Good? Bad?

It looks like a plumbing nightmare. I appreciate the effort but...

The headlight is too high. It's throwing off the lines.

A few turbo cars I've driven have a major boost of torque that comes on very suddenly.
I can't imagine that being a good thing on a bike. Though I'm sure you could adjust it right if it was a good system.

I give credit for the work, not much credit for the aesthetics though.  To each his own, I would like to hear it/see it in action though.

my friend has a turbo's bike, you put one so tiny on it the boost is INSTANT like the torque curve of a duc, if it isn't you have too big of a turbo and a traction nightmare. if you know what you are doing it isn't too bad

There are a lot of turbo specific mods that have been done to this bike that I like from a mechanical stand point.  If you *were* after a turbo'd M900, this is one I would seriously look at.

Aesthetically, there are many trashcans that would LOVE to have that headlight assembly!  Imagine the sound it would make as you hit it with your favorite hammer!  Yummy....
