it was just on eBay and I guess it didnt sell... still looks like a very uncomfortable ride to me.
Its listed for sale on Craigslist here in Charlotte: http://charlotte.craigslist.org/mcy/1023518658.html
"This is a 95 Ducati 900 ss that has ben totally redone from the frame up, you will never see another bike like this Custom paint, Custom frame work, brand new tires, built motor, custom seat, Custom forward controls. This thing gets noticed. Very loud and extremely fast. No joyrides serious people only. Priced for quick sale Ill let the pictures speak for themselves, Bike is also featured on: DUCCUTTERS.COM
Please call Brent @704-953-9037 "
Pictures of it in the ad.
I guess this class of bike could be named "Sport Bobber". More appropriate would be the "back breaker" though.
I would call it the "don't run into anything or you'll smash your balls" bobber. It looks cool though just not comfortable.
Doesn't do anything for me, sorry. With the rear shock almost horizontal and forward like that, I bet it rides like a buckboard.

[laugh] I was thinking the same thing. That being said I would love to take it for a spin.
I dunno... doesn't like it handles all that well. Also kinda looks like he's taking a shit. Cool design but I don't like.
For whatever reason, that riding position reminds me of the choppers in grand theft auto. I don't see how that would be comfortable, but maybe it's not as bad as it looks?
Looks like their custom exhaust consists of them removing the exhaust and leaving the head pipe open.
Id be embarrassed to be seen on it because of that alone.
Slackers.
I don't knock other peoples custom work. This bike is, well, interesting i guess.
My only thought is, a custom ducati bobber for $2500 seems a little low. It makes me wonder if this was like a failed project to them, that has some inherint flaws that are unnoticeable until riding the thing... Some that could be safety issues even..

I think the fact that they're trying to make a profit on it gives you the right to knock it. [cheeky]
My point was they put work into the frame, and other bits, but they took off the exhaust and what?
Forgot to build another one?
Who builds a cool bike and just leaves the header to take on the roll of the entire exhaust system?
I like it..but no way would I be driving the amount of miles on that bike that I do on my current one. My back is hurting already! It is pretty cool though!! [thumbsup]
YEAH!!! Bring back that old Inquisition favorite!!! The Stock everyone! [laugh]
Hell no. That shit looks painful. [laugh]

I would figure that you would know that the shock position was actually untouched and that is exactly how it is on the stock 900ss so in fact it rides as good as factory.
But thanks for the nice and bad comments it will help me to build a better one. It is not all that comfy but I have ridden it about 30 miles at a time and its not as bad as you thinK, The exhaust is still all stock sorry to dissapoint but this bike was built on a budget. i still have the bike so if anyone is near charlotte nc feel free to hit me up and come take it for a spin. Its FOR SALE thanks
Looks really uncomfortable, but I think it's really cool. Over all I like it.
i like it more than anything OCC is making [thumbsup]
A bit extreme riding position, but It looks good. Best looking SS-to-naked conversion I've seen (usually looks like Monsters beaten w. ugly sticks..)
That shit looks like it would absolutely kill my balls...
since my wife carries my balls in her purse at all times i would hit that, not for long rides but definately bar hopper wait i mean starbucks hopper
