I guess this class of bike could be named "Sport Bobber".  More appropriate would be the "back breaker" though.
Who insures the FDIC?

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.
ErkZ NOT in SLO w/ his '95 m900!
The end is in sight! Gotta buckle down and get to work!

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.

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]

Monsterlover

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]
