I'm thinking a few years ahead 8)
Either a track worthy stiffened, lightened, tuned and minimized MultiStrada 1200
or
a +/- 1098 powered naked bike [Dolph]
Not a StreetFighter - wrong ergonomics for me.
What would you recommend?
I've often wondered what the combination of an 848 engine and a Sport 1000S frame would feel like. The geometry, ground clearance and weight distribution are there for a seriously solid track beast, and the 848 engine is a mighty mite.
Food for thought. [coffee]

Absolutely [thumbsup]
I'd say go Pierobon
ncr [evil]
but i agree with zooom, pierobon is pretty sexy. that frame and some rad ducati parts...
Sadly, Pierobon is out.
It has to have a stock(ish) frame with road-legit paperwork [bang]
It also has to have an E-stamped (Termi) exhaust to keep rolling after an inspection.

What exactly is an "E Stamped" frame?
I believe stopintime is saying that he needs a frame with paperwork (title or MSO or similar) and an "emission-stamped" exhaust.
He lives in one of those funny Scandinavian countries where they care about things like "exhaust emissions" and "the environment." [roll]
;)
OK...just curious....had a guy from Spain contact me about building a Ti Sport Classic frame for a 999S motor. He never mentioned anything about E Stamped. Not sure if a MSO from the U.S. would work in Europe or not.

Randy, your Spanish customer might want it for a trackday bike? If it's for a road bike, he's in trouble. One solution can be to use the original steering head with the VIN still intact. Not exactly legal, but hard to see.
I'm building Titanium frames so there is no way to use the original steering head. There is a way to get VIN numbers assigned to my frames. Would that still be a no-go in Europe?

US VINs are worthless in Europe (after model year ~ 2001)(pre ~ 2001 could be your loop hole)
Manufacturers refuse to issue COCs because that would allow us to import the much lower priced US bikes.
Good information....Thanks!
