Very nicely done, especially the 300lb. weight!

[muskrat]

That's an SBK I'd line up for ASAP

[Triple J]

Ducati needs to make this. Now!! 

I doubt it really weighs 300 lbs though...maybe without oil, gas, and a battery.

maybe I missed it but what engine did they use and what did they bore it out to?  Or do they just say 2v air cooled bored out a lot?

they built something from parts, 2v air/oil

As I understand it, it's an 848 lower end (with the deep sump), with a multistrada crank, hyper cams, titanium valves and con rods, high comp pistons (14:1  ). They didn't say what, specifically, the jugs were from, just that they were bored out and re-sleeved for a total of 1176cc.

And yes, I'd make sweet, sweet, dirty, hot, smelly, nasty, tire-roasting love to that thing.

Wow - awesome bike

[ducatiz]

There is little doubt the bike is over 300lbs.  NCR's "new blue" bike is 316 lbs and only with a tonne of work using cudtom components, including lightening the heads and jugs ny hand, a Ti exhaust header and Mg wheels.

That would be so much fun on these tight & twisty mountain roads!!!!!  I volunteer for testing!
