Ducati SuperSport 936

Yep, pretty tight in there. It's great to see gaps around the motor like on the air cooled bikes, kind of gear head porn. The more I look at the side fairing bodywork, where the parts join, the more I hate it, because it's so bloody Honda! .

What about making it a naked....

Front plastic off, dress up the intakes on the tank, classic headlight and a small windscreen.

Standard version and spend the savings on suspension internals and an aftermarket seat cowl.

I recently got a good scale so that I can weigh one end of a bike at a time.
M695, M750, S2R800 are all in the vicinity of 400 lb wet, ready to ride.
Not necessarily a full tank, and no significant weight reductions other than aftermarket cans.

I think specs on "wet" weight stipulate fuel tank at 80% capacity. So add another 7lbs to the wet weight for a full tank. Also, the 2V bikes will have a lower wet weight with comparable dry wet due to the lack of coolant.

Sounds like one of those other motorcycle boards doesn't it?

Since used M1200S's are trading around $12K with a few miles (km), I think I'd put my $ there.  Pricing and looks are too close to the Pani959 to make it a mid-level bike which they need.

I saw the prices yesterday.   
I'll keep looking for a fuel injected M900 to add back to the stable.

With hi comps, a tuned PC and open airbox, they are the pick of the 900 models imo.

I still want an early HM1100.

Just some facts for this bike,

I've heard that the colour scheme of the base model has been revised with Ducati dropping the two tone black/red combo for straight red. The two tone scheme looked as poxy as some recent Honda styling.
Hoobloodyray!
In one straight colour, it looks a different bike. Much better.

The more I look at the engine specs, the more I'm impressed that Ducati has gone for a long stroke 944 style motor with plenty of low down torque.
