Thats the first of the Ducati's of the last few years that I really like!
You still can't beat a 996 though...

Just looking at pics of the engine - recon you'd struggle getting it in a se7en with the angle of that front pair of cylinders as they are near
horizontal!!
Bet it sounds amazing though hey!!

With only 1,500 due to be made, I'd very much doubt it. Even if he did though, would you buy one? Dukes are hardly the most reliable bikes and
clutches are notoriously weak, even in the bike.
Also, the power aint really that good in comparison to the latest generation of mass produced 1,000cc sportsbikes that are on the market and as we
know, Malc can get those with only a few miles on the clock.
They do sound great though.....

so what do we think is the best current candidate for a bec? zx10r seems to be getting good press at the moment.

If you want a 1,000cc engine, then the ZX10R is a great engine and probably top of the list at the moment, closely followed by all of the
others (in no particular order; GSXR, Blade, R1 etc)

zx10r FTW! 187 bhp so not that far off, with an exhaust, filter and remap should hopefully see 200.
parts are now starting to be come available for the zx10r, mk build a jig from my engine for the cradle and hopefully somewhere will have a jig for
the zorst soon!
FREE THE ROADSTER ONE…!!

I'm going for a dry sumped ZX12R - but thats as much due to the height limitations as anything in my Tiger B6. I'd have a 200bhp ZZR1400
if it would fit - requires no sump mods (correct Malc or others???)

Was just about to post up a similar topic to this after looking on pistonheads...
It might not be the most practical engine choice but the noise it makes is 
Have a listen here
It is a also a rather stunning looking bike

Nah, not for me.
V-twins and V8s produce music, everything else just makes a noise.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

I quite facy the idea of a Triumph speed triple install - a bit different and the noise is something a bit special.
Power might not be up there, but it should still be a lively performer.
