  1. Radical Ducati are closing

    I've just seen a message on Facebook from them announcing they are closing! It's a real shame as I loved the customs they build :-(
     
  2. Closing or retiring?
     
  3. The message says he is moving on to new things.
     
  4. Dear Ducatistis

    -I inform you that RADICAL DUCATI close his workshop and stop his activity.

    It has been more than 15 years of passion, designing, fabricating, riding and developing my dreams.

    Now is time to stop and make a change in my life.


    I want to thanks all of you for your support and for share our passion.


    The Radical Ducati facebook and blog would work for maintain and share our RAD spirit with all of you.
     
  5. Sad news :frown: Pepo emailed me about this, and it's such a shame that someone with such a creative mind is taking a break. I personally hope that he'll be back :upyeah:

  6. Im sure he will be. Dont worry Nick they'll still be more than enough inspiration for your next bike :upyeah:
     
  7. Gutted :(

    They made some beautiful bikes.
     
  8. Pepo put such a lot of design time into his stuff, it's a shame he's taken this tough decision :frown:
     
  9. Very sad, hope the Rad is resurrected soon!

  12. I'm being told today that Radical have shut up shop ???

    If this is true I am very saddened to hear it, I was over with Pepo just before Xmas and he did not say anything, I have mailed him today, just hoping its gossip with no substance
     
  13. Unfortunately it is true :-( He emailed me a while back, and announced it on Facebook yesterday.
     
  14. Feck there goes my seat. Any reason? What a real shame a real innovative shop
     
  15. Very simply, despite a world-wide following, international press adulation, prizes and magazine articles, too few people bought anything while he spared no expense in building his creations. He still has half a dozen bikes to sell, ranging in price from under ten to over thirty thousand Euros.

    For example:

    Remaining stock
    -
    Matador Racer,

    - Metralla
    - Montjuich TT
    - Silver Shotgun
    - DIRT RAD

    Serious enquiries to Pepo @ Radical Ducati

  16. Are they still taking orders for any stock do we know?
     
  17. Their bikes may become classic/collectable and radical is becoming a byword for that style of bike. They've certainly made their mark on the custom bike scene.
     
  18. Invalid email have used the std email address on the site. Real real shame the man was an artist
     
  19. He has an FB account I think, may be worth going that route
