Here is a pic & the specs of the 848R from Ducati...it's safe to say that I have exceeded their specification list and more so...
I guess but that bike was for sale for about $40K lol! If you build your own the way you want then it will be significantly cheaper than that list!
I admire the work and attention to detail that's gone into this but can I reserve judgment till I see the full effect?
Or a pirate. Isn't the point though that there never was a production R model but you could buy Ducati performance bits to cobble your own together and that's what's been done here, allegedly ??
What is on that list that I posted was straight from Ducati so hindsight I built my Bike and exceeded it, maybe down the road I will drop a bigger engine like a 1098 or 1198 The 1098R does have an 1198 motor in there from the factory so really is it a glorified 1098 or an 1198S?
I think you can call it what you like...it's your bike. Anyway....when you FINALLY reveal the finished bike, I suggest you edit the thread title to include "The Big Reveal" or something so it gets noticed amongst the peek-a-boo pics that you have been teasing us with for, what, 27 years now? Waiting with baited breath.. R
Finally getting the mids & lower Fairings sent out to me tomorrow...and they look damn good with the green, the parts with the blue tape is a guide for the 3M Mylox clear protective tape will go to prevent rock chips, road grime etc!
I just picked these pieces up from the post office today & I had to take a few pics of them in the sun...my 2 lowers, the tail fairing now with the Ducati logo on the end & the difference in the red colour from the new front fender & the old one, I am a very happy guy!
Happy, but bikeless! Crack on and get it finished will you! Looking forward to seeing it in one piece.
