Now that's a nice looking cafe racer. I guess the forward slope of the seat wouldn't bother you to much if you rode at speed alot, but could be uncomfortable around town I think.

I am guessing my ass would be sore long before the back would be!!! Not exactly meant for long tours!  ;D

Wicked looking though....extremely nice creation!

my eyes are sore.  the headlight / fairing bugs me (pun intended) and the half a harley isnt doing it for me in place of that wide single cylinder i expect in a manx.  it seems to have everything i could take or leave about the norton without any of the charm.  no doubt goldammer is an "engineering genius" and so should probably have better things to do than reinventing the manx.  what he has done would be impressive if not for what he had done it to.  i have to give it credit for being an improvement on the design as opposed to the triumph thruxtons and ford mustangs of recent reincarnation that dont add performance, only borrowing credibility from innovative ideas of the past, but I cant help starving for innovations of the present.

The bike looks neat, not quite what i would do.

The real gem IMO is the links on the page... there is too much for a guy needing to wake up in 6 hours to even contemplate looking at!!

Awesome find there!

Very Aggressive looking. Looks like a fun ride. I'll agree that I don;t think it's made for long distance travel, though...  ;D

i know that was probably rhetorical, but it piqued my curiosity.  the answer is yes, and leave it to ducati
the ducati 900 ss sport/touring cafe racer
