I saw this ducati cafe racer style thing near guildford on saturday. It had that modern classic shape about it... the wheels looked to wide to be an old bike. Have ducati made anything like this apart from the MH900E as it didn't look like one of those?

Thanks,

Mark

Nice one. Is it as hard on the wrists as it looks?

Its ok on the wrists but the riding position is sporty, much like any 1000cc machine. To be honest I have yet to ride it... too rainy and horrible so I have been using the R1.

The bike looks awesome though. I am going to make some subtle custom touches to it to make it better.

This bike is the best of both modern yet old school bike all in one and has much more performance then say a Thruxton or Guzzi V7.

Thats brilliant. Looks like a 750SS chopped about. Very cool and the kid looks like a dude on it!

Spot on! It was once a 750ss and now has a 600 engine (Desmo Due class B rules) and a fairing from Meadspeed. Enormous fun as I have it on a day time use only MOT.
