My new bike crush

I liked the Vyper better, did they scrap that project or are they still going through with it?

 

[BassBomb]

neat

 

[brblx]

triumph still makes my favorite naked bike.

is this based on the monster?

edit- nevermind, they look totally different, they're just equally naked and have a similar looking frame.

Dunno. I thought the Vyper looked like a Suzuki Bee King.


Just reading some of the info on it from Duc's site:

"With 155hp of awesome Ducati L-Twin muscle harnessed in a uncovered, super-light, 167kg (368lb) bike "

I swear it looks heavier than that.

It looks like something Batman would ride with his cape.

It is basically a naked 1198 Sport Bike with a less aggressive riding position and handlebars in place of clip-ons.

I like this bike but honestly I think it's too much power for the street. I've ridden the Ducati Monster 1100 S and it is a perfect blend of power and handling in a naked bike. Handling is top notch as are the brakes and it certainly will raise the front wheel off the ground effortlessly away from a light and dust off pretty much any car. It won't quite hang with a liter bike in the 1/4 mile but it will when the road starts to bend.

But hey, this bike will make the Monster 1100 S less desirable so I might be able to find a lightly used Monster for $8k in another year or so. 😀

True. I like the 1100s. 8k would be pretty easy to live with.

Was I the only one who came into this thread expecting a ducati in a custom Chun-Li, Ryu, or Ken paint job? 😱
