Never Seen a Rocket Like This

[ksquared]

I wonder if this is what a Rocket by Ducati would look like???

Gotta tell ya - I think this is great looking - if a Rocket can be made to look light and agile - this is it.

More like a Rocket by Bimota --- that would be a TR1 then
would like to hear that exhaust!

I also thought that it looked as if it was more in the Bimota-Aprillia mode, but the story says that the bike ". . .began as a Ducati Monster S4R . . . ".

His last chopper, dubbed the Techno-Bobber, began as a Ducati Monster S4R

You're're right - I read it wrong. Still great looking though . . . . .

At a guess the Ducati would have a good deal shorter rear swinger!

That does look like an amazing bike, would love to see how it handled.

Would be interesting to see if you could somehow bolt the funny front end on to what is a very stiff engine, a bit like the Bimota Tesi.

It must be a stiff ride with no rear shock system.
In a word Fugly!!!!!

rear shock is under the swing arm. and 'butt ugly' is two words

Ok Ill take Fugly as one word and pull my tongue back in

Couldn't disagree more. Aesthetically it has a look of lightness and agility, yet of great power.
