It uses a Ducati 851 as a base.
It was modified by Bimota to be a 904.
It is one of 20 set up this way.

Been doing more neo classic superbike stuff these days.

Figure my goal is to look like I won the lottery when I graduated high school.

Found a bunch of my old SOHC4 parts I forgot about recently, so poked my head back in here.

Nice!  Always wanted a Duc.  Coincidentally, this popped up on my feed the other day...

The DB3 is an oddball for sure.

The more traditional DB4 is the 900SL that ducati should have made.

Great bike.  Had one for a bit.

Now that my KZ750 is road legal, I'm really enjoying riding it, with the only problem being that the hand grip on the throttle is loose, and I almost pulled it right off the bike. I "confiscated" a can of hairspray from my oldest boy 20 years ago when he had hair, so will remember to take it to the storage unit to glue the grip back on. Otherwise, it's a very pleasant cruiser.

I've removed the tank from my 2006 Honda VTR1000F "special" to clean the rust out again after the Evaporust did a reasonable job last time, but with the warmer weather now, it's working better. I took the black bike for a lap around the block to see how it's running with the carbs cleaned, and it goes very nicely, although now I've taken the Yoshy exhaust off (temporarily for registration purposes) it has lost it's L twin "Bark". No biggie, it'll be fun to have it on the road soon. ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Out and about.

Truly spectacular looking machine! Does the front end “feel” different?
